Product details
Overview
MP1580HS-LF from Monolithic Power Systems is a monolithic 2A, 380 kHz step-down DC/DC converter with integrated 0.18 Ω high-side MOSFET, operating from 4.75 V to 25 V input and delivering adjustable output from 1.22 V to 21 V. It features cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown, 23 μA shutdown quiescent current, and synchronization capability up to 600 kHz - deployed in battery chargers and distributed power systems.
For engineers reviewing the MP1580HS-LF datasheet, MP1580HS-LF pinout, MP1580HS-LF application, or MP1580HS-LF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (4.75–25 V), output current capability (2 A continuous), fixed switching frequency (380 kHz), internal MOSFET RDS(on) (0.18 Ω), and feedback reference voltage (1.222 V).
Technical Context
The MP1580HS-LF employs peak current-mode control with transconductance error amplifier (770 µA/V typical gm) and slope compensation for stable operation across wide duty cycles. Its COMP pin serves as both error amplifier output and current comparator input, enabling direct loop compensation via external R-C networks.
It integrates dual MOSFETs - a 0.18 Ω high-side switch and a 10 Ω low-side switch - with bootstrap gate drive (BS pin) supporting high-side N-channel operation. The SYNC pin accepts external square-wave signals ≥445 kHz to force oscillator reset, while EN provides programmable UVLO (2.495 V rising threshold, 210 mV hysteresis).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 2 A continuous - supports compact 2A point-of-load conversion without external power switches |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.75 V to 25 V - compatible with 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V industrial rails |
| Switching Frequency | 380 kHz (±9%) - balances EMI, inductor size, and efficiency for mid-power applications |
| Feedback Reference | 1.222 V ±24 mV - enables precise output regulation using standard resistor dividers |
| High-Side RDS(on) | 0.18 Ω - reduces conduction loss at 2A, enabling >95% efficiency at 5 V out / 12 V in |
| Shutdown Current | 23 μA - minimizes system standby power in battery-backed or always-on designs |
| Current Limit Threshold | 3.0 A typical - provides robust short-circuit protection with 0.011 A/°C thermal derating |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160 °C - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
Pinout & Package
MP1580HS-LF is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (SOIC-8), with 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, rated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and θJA = 105°C/W on 1"² 1 oz copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 BS | Bootstrap supply | Connects external 10 nF capacitor between SW and BS to generate floating gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET |
| 2 IN | Main power input | Accepts 4.75–25 V unregulated input; requires local 10 µF+ low-ESR ceramic capacitor |
| 3 SW | Power switch node | Drives external inductor; connects to IN (high-side ON) or GND (low-side ON); carries full switching current |
| 4 GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for FB, COMP, EN, SYNC; must be isolated from high-current paths to avoid noise coupling |
| 5 FB | Output voltage sense | Resistive divider tap sets output: VOUT = 1.222 × (1 + R1/R2); fault foldback activates below 700 mV |
| 6 COMP | Error amplifier output | Transconductance amplifier output (770 µA/V); compensation network (R+C to GND) sets loop stability |
| 7 EN | Enable/UVLO control | Active-high enable (≥2.62 V); <700 mV forces 23 µA shutdown; internal 1.46 µA pull-up |
| 8 SYNC | Oscillator synchronization | External clock input (445–600 kHz); internal 11 kΩ pull-down; leave open for free-running 380 kHz mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 0.18 Ω high-side MOSFET | Eliminates need for external high-side switch and driver, reducing BOM count and layout complexity |
| Stable with ceramic output capacitors | Enables use of small, low-ESR 22 µF ceramic caps without phase-margin degradation |
| Programmable UVLO with hysteresis | 2.495 V rising threshold + 210 mV hysteresis prevents oscillation during brown-in/brown-out conditions |
| Frequency synchronization input | Allows deterministic EMI reduction by locking switching to system clock or adjacent converters |
| Cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection | Detects per-cycle peak inductor current to prevent MOSFET failure during shorts or startup surges |
| Thermal shutdown with auto-recovery | Halts switching at 160°C junction; resumes operation after cooldown - no latch required |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2307DN-LF-Z | 3A output, 500 kHz fixed frequency, 0.12 Ω RDS(on), same SOIC-8 package | Higher current and frequency suit denser layouts but require tighter layout for EMI control | Select when >2 A load margin or faster transient response is needed; verify thermal performance at full load |
| LM2678SD-5.0/NOPB | 5 V fixed output, 5 A, 260 kHz, external MOSFETs, TO-263-7 package | Fixed-output simplifies design but lacks adjustability and integration; larger footprint | Choose only if 5 V fixed output suffices and board space permits TO-263; higher cost and BOM count |
Compared with MP1580HS-LF, MP2307DN-LF-Z offers higher current and frequency at the expense of increased sensitivity to layout-induced EMI, while LM2678SD-5.0/NOPB trades integration and adjustability for raw output capability and fixed-voltage simplicity - making MP1580HS-LF optimal for compact, adjustable 2A POL designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended input capacitance for MP1580HS-LF?
A minimum 10 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor is required at the IN pin, placed as close as possible to minimize high-frequency switching noise. For best results, combine a 0.1 µF ceramic near the pin with a bulk 10–22 µF tantalum or electrolytic capacitor nearby - ensuring RMS ripple current rating exceeds half the DC load current.
Can MP1580HS-LF operate with a 3.3 V input?
No. MP1580HS-LF has a minimum input voltage of 4.75 V per its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions. Operation below this threshold may result in unstable regulation, failure to start, or undefined behavior - it is not characterized or guaranteed for 3.3 V input.
How is output voltage adjusted on MP1580HS-LF?
Output voltage is set using a resistive divider from VOUT to GND, with the FB pin connected to the divider midpoint. The formula is VOUT = 1.222 × (1 + R1/R2), where R2 is typically 10 kΩ. For example, a 3.3 V output uses R1 = 17 kΩ and R2 = 10 kΩ; values must maintain FB bias current within datasheet limits.
Does MP1580HS-LF require an external Schottky diode?
Yes - an external Schottky diode (e.g., B230, SR22, SS23) is required for the freewheeling path when the high-side MOSFET is off. The diode must have reverse voltage rating exceeding maximum input voltage and average current rating exceeding 2 A; low forward voltage and fast recovery are critical for efficiency.
What is the purpose of the BS pin and its associated capacitor?
The BS (Bootstrap) pin supplies gate drive voltage to the high-side MOSFET. A 10 nF ceramic capacitor between BS and SW creates a floating supply that charges to ~5 V when SW is low, enabling full enhancement of the N-channel high-side switch - essential for proper operation above ~65% duty cycle.
Is MP1580HS-LF pin-compatible with MP1580HP?
Yes - MP1580HS-LF (SOIC-8) and MP1580HP (PDIP-8) share identical pinout and electrical specifications, differing only in package type and thermal resistance (θJA = 105°C/W vs. 95°C/W). Layout and schematic can be reused, but thermal design must account for package-specific dissipation limits.
How does the SYNC pin affect switching behavior?
A rising edge on SYNC forces immediate reset of the internal oscillator, turning off the high-side MOSFET and initiating the next switching cycle. When driven with a clean square wave ≥445 kHz, it locks the MP1580HS-LF to the external frequency - enabling synchronized multi-rail operation and deterministic EMI shaping.
