Product details
Overview
MCP19118T-E/MJVAO from Microchip Technology is a digitally enhanced synchronous buck controller IC integrating an 8-bit PIC microcontroller core, dual 5V LDOs, and high-current gate drivers for DC/DC step-down conversion. It supports 4.5V–40V input, 0.5V–3.6V output (with external divider >3.6V), 100 kHz–1.6 MHz switching frequency, and peak current mode control - used in programmable industrial power supplies requiring adaptive protection and I²C/PMBus host communication.
For engineers reviewing the MCP19118T-E/MJVAO datasheet, MCP19118T-E/MJVAO pinout, MCP19118T-E/MJVAO application, or MCP19118T-E/MJVAO equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24-pin QFN package, 11 GPIO + 1 input-only pin configuration, integrated 10-bit ADC with 12 internal/8 external channels, thermal shutdown, and configurable overcurrent/UVLO/OV/UV protection thresholds.
Technical Context
The MCP19118T-E/MJVAO implements analog PWM regulation with digital supervision: peak current mode control ensures stable loop response, while the embedded PIC16 core enables runtime reconfiguration of soft-start, dead time, compensation, and fault-handling logic via firmware. Its dual 5V rails - one powering analog circuitry (internal), the other supplied on VDD - decouple noise-sensitive functions.
It features differential remote voltage sensing (+VSEN/−VSEN), bidirectional current sensing (+ISEN/−ISEN), and hardware-based synchronous driver outputs (HDRV/LDRV) supporting up to 2A source/2A sink (high-drive) or 2A source/4A sink (low-drive). The device operates as master or slave in multi-output systems with frequency synchronization capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 40V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery-fed applications without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.5V to 3.6V - programmable via internal DAC; >3.6V requires external resistor divider for feedback scaling. |
| Switching Frequency | 100 kHz to 1.6 MHz - adjustable in real time via firmware; higher frequencies enable smaller magnetics and faster transient response. |
| Gate Drive Capability | High-drive: ±2A; Low-drive: 2A source / 4A sink - directly drives medium-power MOSFETs without external buffers. |
| ADC Resolution & Channels | 10-bit resolution with 12 internal + 8 external analog inputs - enables comprehensive system monitoring (voltage, current, temperature). |
| Program Memory | 4096-word Flash (14-bit words) with 100,000 write endurance - stores custom startup profiles, protection algorithms, and communication handlers. |
| Communication Interface | I²C/SMBus/PMBus-compatible - allows host MCU or PMBus manager to read telemetry and modify operating parameters dynamically. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin 4 mm × 4 mm QFN with exposed thermal pad (EP). Pin count and layout match DS20005350A-page 2 pin diagram for MCP19118.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Primary power input | Accepts 4.5V–40V unregulated supply; connects to input capacitor bank and PGND return path. |
| VDD | +5V LDO output | Powers PIC core and digital peripherals; requires 1 µF bypass to PGND near pin. |
| VDR | Gate drive supply input | Provides 5V rail for synchronous drivers; may be RC-filtered from VDD or externally regulated. |
| HDRV / LDRV | High-side / low-side gate drivers | Direct MOSFET gate connection points; HDRV floats with PHASE node; LDRV referenced to PGND. |
| PHASE | Switch node | Connects to drain of high-side FET and source of low-side FET; critical for bootstrap capacitor charging. |
| BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Charged via diode/capacitor from PHASE; enables high-side N-channel MOSFET drive. |
| +VSEN / −VSEN | Differential output voltage sense | Enables accurate remote sensing across PCB traces; rejects common-mode noise in high-current paths. |
| +ISEN / −ISEN | Differential current sense | Supports bidirectional current measurement using precision shunt resistor; feeds analog comparator and ADC. |
| GPA0–GPA7, GPB0–GPB2 | Configurable GPIO & analog inputs | 11 general-purpose I/O pins (3 open-drain); includes 10-bit ADC inputs (AN0–AN5), INT, T0CKI, and debug/test functions. |
| GND / PGND | Signal / power ground | GND: small-signal reference for analog/digital logic; PGND: high-current return for switch node and drivers - must be separated and joined at single point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated analog PWM + digital core | Combines fast analog loop stability with firmware-defined flexibility for startup sequencing, fault recovery, and telemetry reporting. |
| Dual 5V LDOs | One powers internal analog blocks (isolated), second supplies VDD for PIC core - reduces external regulator count and improves PSRR. |
| Configurable protection suite | Runtime-adjustable thresholds for overcurrent, input UVLO, output OV/UV, and thermal shutdown - eliminates hardware redesign for margin tuning. |
| Multi-output synchronization | Supports master/slave operation with frequency lock via CLKPIN (GPA1) or ALT_CLKPIN (GPB5 on MCP19119 only) - enables phase interleaving in multi-rail systems. |
| In-circuit programming & debug | ICSP™ via GPA6/GPA7 (MCP19118) enables field firmware updates; I²C interface allows host-initiated parameter changes without reprogramming. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally enhanced buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP19119T-E/MJVAO | 28-pin QFN; adds GPB4–GPB7, AN6/AN7, ICSPDAT/ICSPCLK on GPB4/GPB5 - increases GPIO count and ADC channels. | Required when >11 GPIO or >6 ADC inputs needed; supports more complex multi-rail coordination or sensor-rich designs. | Select MCP19119T-E/MJVAO if additional analog inputs, serial programming pins, or alternate sync clock (ALT_CLKPIN) are required. |
| LM5119QMH/NOPB | Analog-only controller (no MCU); supports 6V–100V input; no integrated ADC, Flash, or I²C - requires external MCU for digital features. | Suitable for fixed-function, high-voltage (>40V) applications where firmware customization is unnecessary. | Choose LM5119QMH/NOPB only when digital programmability is not required and input exceeds 40V. |
Compared with MCP19119T-E/MJVAO, the MCP19118T-E/MJVAO offers identical analog control performance and firmware capability in a smaller 24-pin footprint but fewer GPIO and ADC resources; versus LM5119QMH/NOPB, it trades off high-voltage tolerance for full digital integration, enabling self-contained power management without external microcontroller dependency.

FAQ
What is the package type and pin count of the MCP19118T-E/MJVAO?
The MCP19118T-E/MJVAO uses a 24-pin 4 mm × 4 mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad (EP), as confirmed in DS20005350A-page 2 and Table 1. This matches the MCP19118 variant - distinct from the 28-pin QFN used by the MCP19119T-E/MJVAO. Pin assignments are fully documented in the "24-Pin Summary" table on DS20005350A-page 3.
Does the MCP19118T-E/MJVAO support I²C or PMBus communication?
Yes, the MCP19118T-E/MJVAO supports I²C, SMBus, and PMBus-compatible communication via GPB0 (SDA) and GPA7 (SCL) pins. Firmware enables host-read telemetry (voltage, current, temperature) and host-write configuration (output voltage, protection thresholds, soft-start time), as specified in Section 27.0 of DS20005350A.
How many ADC channels does the MCP19118T-E/MJVAO provide?
The MCP19118T-E/MJVAO integrates a 10-bit ADC with 12 internal channels and 8 external channels, accessible through GPA0–GPA3, GPB1, and GPB2 (AN0–AN5). External channel expansion beyond AN5 is not supported on this variant - unlike the MCP19119T-E/MJVAO which adds AN6/AN7 via GPB4/GPB5.
What are the gate drive specifications for the MCP19118T-E/MJVAO?
The MCP19118T-E/MJVAO provides two gate drive modes: high-drive (±2A) and low-drive (2A source / 4A sink), both at +5V. These are delivered on HDRV and LDRV pins, with BOOT supplying the floating voltage for high-side drive. Drive strength is selected in firmware and verified in DS20005350A-page 1.
Can the MCP19118T-E/MJVAO operate as a master or slave in multi-output systems?
Yes, the MCP19118T-E/MJVAO supports master/slave configuration in multiple output or multi-phase systems using GPA1 (CLKPIN) for synchronization. Configuration is controlled via MLTPH<2:0> bits in the BUFFCON register, as detailed in Sections 3.10.6 and 3.10.7 of DS20005350A - enabling frequency locking and phase alignment across parallel converters.
