Product details
Overview
MP111DS-LF from Monolithic Power Systems is a dedicated dying gasp storage and release control IC for telecom power backup systems. It charges an external storage capacitor during normal operation (4.5–18 V input), holds voltage up to 32 V, and dumps up to 2.5 A into VIN when input drops below user-programmed release threshold-enabling sustained operation during AC loss in DSL/PON modems and home gateways.
For engineers reviewing the MP111DS-LF datasheet, MP111DS-LF pinout, MP111DS-LF application, or MP111DS-LF equivalent, this device requires precise resistor programming for storage (VSTRG) and release (VRELEASE) voltages, supports SOIC-8 layout with BST/SW node coupling, and delivers deterministic hold-up time based on CSTRG, IRELEASE, and ΔV (VSTRG − VRELEASE).
Technical Context
The MP111DS-LF integrates a bootstrap-controlled charge pump for high-voltage storage capacitor charging and a regulated dump path with 2.5 A current limit. Its dual feedback architecture uses FB1 (for VSTRG regulation) and FB2 (for VRELEASE detection) with independent hysteresis (50 mV for FB1, 350 mV for VIN UVLO) to prevent chatter during brownout transitions.
It features an open-drain GASP flag that asserts low when VIN falls below VRELEASE × 1.00×VFB2 and deasserts high when VIN rises above VRELEASE × 1.05×VFB2, providing clean system-level power-fail signaling with 2 μs delay. Internal thermal shutdown (150°C, 30°C hysteresis) and 250 mA precharge current limiting ensure robust start-up under high-CSTRG conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 18 V - Supports wide-range DC inputs common in telecom power supplies (e.g., 12 V PON, 5 V/9 V adapters). |
| Storage Voltage Range | VIN to 2×VIN−0.8 V (max 32 V) - Enables energy-efficient high-voltage storage to minimize required capacitance (e.g., 23 V at 12 V input). |
| Dump Current Limit | 2.5 A - Sustains ≥1 A load for >20 ms with 2000 µF storage cap (ΔV = 10 V), meeting GR-909/ETSI dying gasp timing requirements. |
| Precharge Current Limit | 250 mA - Limits inrush during initial CSTRG charging, preventing input rail collapse and enabling use with small input bulk caps. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.0 V (±5%) - Sets precision of programmable VSTRG/VRELEASE via resistor dividers; enables <±1% voltage accuracy with 0.1% resistors. |
| GASP Response Delay | 2 µs - Provides fast, deterministic power-fail assertion for real-time firmware response (e.g., graceful shutdown or status upload). |
| Operating Junction Temp | −40°C to +125°C - Qualified for industrial and outdoor telecom equipment environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
MP111DS-LF is housed in a standard SOIC-8 package (5.0 mm × 6.2 mm, 1.27 mm pitch) with exposed pad not present; RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and lead-free per MPS green policy.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - BST | Bootstrap driver output | Connects via RC network to DC/DC switch node (SW) to generate boosted gate drive for internal charge pump; critical for VSTRG > VIN operation. |
| 2 - VIN | Main supply input | 4.5–18 V primary rail; powers internal circuitry and serves as dump target; requires local 22 µF decoupling. |
| 3 - FB2 | Release voltage sense input | Monitors VIN via resistor divider to trigger dump when voltage falls below programmed VRELEASE; hysteresis prevents oscillation. |
| 4 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | System return for all feedback paths and internal regulators; must be low-impedance plane with multiple vias to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5 - FB1 | Storage voltage sense input | Sets target VSTRG via resistor divider; regulates storage cap voltage during refresh cycles; ±50 mV hysteresis ensures stable hold. |
| 6 - GASP | Open-drain power-fail indicator | Asserts low when VRELEASE threshold breached; pulled high externally (e.g., 10 kΩ to VIN); provides TTL/CMOS-compatible signaling. |
| 7 - STRG | Storage capacitor connection | Direct high-current path to external electrolytic cap (e.g., 2000 µF/25 V); trace must be short/wide to minimize ESR-induced voltage drop. |
| 8 - VMAX | Internal LDO supply | Requires 2.2 nF ceramic decoupling; powers internal logic and gate drivers; isolated from VIN to avoid noise injection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| User-programmable storage voltage | VSTRG set by FB1 resistor divider (e.g., 23 V using R1=845 kΩ, R2=37.4 kΩ); enables optimal energy density and reduced capacitor size. |
| Programmable release voltage with hysteresis | VRELEASE set by FB2 divider (e.g., 10.2 V using R3=464 kΩ, R4=49.9 kΩ); 350 mV UVLO hysteresis prevents false triggering during line sag. |
| Integrated 250 mA precharge limiter | Eliminates need for external inrush limiting components; allows safe charging of large storage capacitors (≥1000 µF) from cold start. |
| 2.5 A regulated dump path | Delivers consistent current into VIN during brownout, extending hold-up time predictably without overloading downstream converters. |
| Dying gasp flag with 2 µs delay | GASP pin provides sub-microsecond power-fail notification to MCU/ASIC, enabling deterministic firmware response before voltage collapse. |

FAQ
What is the maximum storage capacitor voltage the MP111DS-LF can manage?
The MP111DS-LF supports storage capacitor voltages up to 32 V, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings for VSTRG. This allows operation with VSTRG set to 2×VIN − 0.8 V (e.g., 23 V at 12 V input), enabling efficient energy storage and reduced capacitance requirements compared to 12 V-only solutions.
How does the BST pin interface with the DC/DC converter?
The BST pin connects via a series resistor and small ceramic capacitor to the DC/DC converter's switch node (SW). This bootstrap configuration generates the gate drive voltage needed to operate the internal charge pump for VSTRG > VIN. The MP111DS-LF only begins boosting after the DC/DC converter is enabled and SW is active.
Can the MP111DS-LF be used with non-electrolytic storage capacitors?
Yes, but electrolytic capacitors are strongly recommended due to their high volumetric efficiency and cost-effectiveness for the required capacitance (typically 1000–2700 µF). Polymer or tantalum caps may be used if low ESR and long life are critical, but their voltage derating and cost make them less practical for telecom hold-up applications.
What is the purpose of the VMAX pin and its required capacitor?
VMAX supplies the internal LDO that powers the MP111DS-LF's logic and gate drivers. A 2.2 nF ceramic capacitor must be placed directly between VMAX and GND to filter high-frequency noise and stabilize the internal supply-omitting or undersizing this capacitor causes erratic operation and premature thermal shutdown.
How is the GASP flag synchronized to input voltage transitions?
The GASP flag responds to FB2 voltage thresholds: it pulls low when FB2 falls below 1.00×VFB2 (indicating VIN < VRELEASE), and releases high when FB2 rises above 1.05×VFB2 (indicating VIN > VRELEASE + hysteresis). This 5% hysteresis prevents chatter during slow input sags, and the 2 µs propagation delay ensures deterministic timing for firmware response.
Does the MP111DS-LF require external compensation components?
No external compensation is required for basic operation. The MP111DS-LF's internal control loop is factory-tuned for stability with standard external components (e.g., 15 pF on FB2, 2.2 nF on VMAX). Only layout best practices-short FB traces, low-ESR input caps, and wide STRG routing-are needed to ensure robust performance.
What happens if the storage capacitor voltage exceeds the programmed VSTRG during normal operation?
The MP111DS-LF actively regulates VSTRG by disabling the charge pump when the FB1-sensed voltage reaches the programmed threshold (e.g., 23 V). If VSTRG drifts above this value due to leakage or measurement error, the device enters refresh mode-briefly reactivating the charge pump to correct minor deviations-ensuring tight long-term voltage hold within ±1%.
