Product details
Overview
MP163BGS-33-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a 700V non-isolated offline primary-side regulator with integrated 700V MOSFET and 3.3V LDO, delivering up to 4W output power in buck/boost/flyback topologies. It features 420mA peak current limit, 14Ω RDS(on), <30mW no-load consumption, and green-mode frequency foldback for home appliance standby power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MP163BGS-33-Z datasheet, MP163BGS-33-Z pinout, MP163BGS-33-Z application, or MP163BGS-33-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include primary-side CV regulation accuracy, SOIC8-7B package thermal performance (θJA = 86°C/W), integrated LDO current capability (270mA peak), and OLP/SCP/thermal shutdown protection timing.
Technical Context
The MP163BGS-33-Z implements primary-side constant voltage control using feedback sampling via an external capacitor (C3) and internal 2.55V reference, eliminating optocoupler dependency. Its green-mode operation dynamically reduces switching frequency and peak current under light load, achieving <30mW no-load consumption.
It integrates a 700V vertical DMOS power switch with 14Ω typical RDS(on), a self-biased VCC supply with UVLO (5.1–5.8V turn-on hysteresis), and a dedicated 3.3V LDO with 270mA peak current limit and 1.1V dropout at 150mA - optimized for dual-output auxiliary rail generation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 700V drain rating enables direct universal AC input rectification without external HV MOSFET. |
| Peak Current Limit | 420mA typical - sets maximum energy per cycle in CCM/DCM, defining max output power (~4W). |
| MOSFET RDS(on) | 14Ω typical at 25°C - determines conduction loss and thermal rise in high-voltage switching node. |
| LDO Output | 3.3V ±2% at 0A, 180–390mA current limit - powers MCU or logic rails in low-power offline systems. |
| No-Load Consumption | <30mW - meets Energy Star Level VI and EU CoC Tier 2 standby requirements. |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown (150°C), OLP (220ms delay), SCP (600mA threshold), open-loop detection (0.5V FB). |
| Package | SOIC8-7B - 8-pin exposed-pad variant with 86°C/W θJA, optimized for cost-sensitive consumer PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
MP163BGS-33-Z uses the SOIC8-7B package: 8-pin surface-mount with exposed thermal pad (pin 7 = GND), footprint compatible with JEDEC MS-012AC, and rated for 1.45W continuous power dissipation at +25°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | LDO input | Accepts 4.3V–17V input; connects to buck output or auxiliary winding to feed integrated 3.3V LDO. |
| 2 (SOURCE) | MOSFET source / ground reference | Serves as power ground for VCC and FB; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 4 (DRAIN) | 700V MOSFET drain / HV current source | Connects directly to rectified AC line; handles full HV switching stress and start-up current sourcing. |
| 5 (VCC) | Internal bias supply | Charged by internal HV regulator; requires 1–10μF ceramic capacitor for stable operation and fault recovery. |
| 6 (FB) | Voltage feedback input | Monitors sampled output via RC network; triggers switching when voltage drops below 2.55V reference. |
| 7 (GND) | LDO ground | Separate ground return for LDO output; ties to SOURCE internally but routed separately on PCB for noise isolation. |
| 8 (OUT) | LDO output | Delivers regulated 3.3V; requires local 1–10μF ceramic decoupling to support transient loads up to 270mA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Primary-side CV regulation | Eliminates optocoupler and secondary-side TL431, reducing BOM count and improving reliability in space-constrained appliances. |
| Integrated 700V MOSFET | Enables single-chip offline conversion from 85–265VAC input without external HV switch or driver. |
| On-chip 3.3V LDO | Provides dedicated low-noise auxiliary rail for microcontrollers or sensors, avoiding discrete LDO and its associated quiescent current. |
| Green-mode frequency foldback | Reduces switching frequency and peak current at light load, enabling <30mW no-load consumption for regulatory compliance. |
| Comprehensive protection suite | Includes thermal shutdown (150°C), OLP (220ms delay), SCP (600mA), and open-loop detection (0.5V FB) - all auto-recovering except latch-off faults. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar offline regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP163AGS-33-Z | Lower 210mA peak current limit and 16Ω RDS(on); same SOIC8-7B package and 3.3V LDO. | Rated for ≤2W output; suitable for sub-1W sensor nodes where thermal margin is less critical. | Select when system output power is ≤1.5W and cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency at mid-load. |
| MP163CGS-33-Z | Higher 660mA peak current limit and 13.5Ω RDS(on); identical pinout and LDO specs. | Supports up to 6W output; requires larger heatsinking due to higher power density in same SOIC8-7B package. | Choose for 3–4W applications needing headroom for line/load transients or extended temperature operation. |
Compared with MP163AGS-33-Z, MP163BGS-33-Z delivers 100% higher peak current and 12.5% lower RDS(on) in identical footprint, enabling 4W operation without layout change; versus MP163CGS-33-Z, it trades 57% lower peak current for 15% better light-load efficiency and tighter thermal budget.

FAQ
What topology configurations does MP163BGS-33-Z support?
The MP163BGS-33-Z supports buck, boost, buck-boost, and flyback topologies through primary-side constant voltage regulation. Its integrated 700V MOSFET and feedback architecture enable direct implementation in all four configurations without external HV components, as validated in MPS Application Note AN-107.
How does the integrated LDO interact with the main switching regulator?
The LDO accepts input from the main converter's output (e.g., buck output) via the IN pin and delivers a regulated 3.3V at OUT. Its 1.1V dropout at 150mA means the input must exceed 4.4V; thermal derating applies above 125°C junction temperature due to shared die with the HV MOSFET.
What is the purpose of the FB pin's 6µs sampling delay?
The FB pin samples the output voltage 6µs after MOSFET turn-off to avoid false triggering from switching noise and diode reverse-recovery spikes. This timing ensures accurate feedback capture during the freewheeling phase, critical for stable CV regulation without optocoupler compensation.
Can MP163BGS-33-Z operate without an external VCC capacitor?
No - an external 1–10μF ceramic capacitor is mandatory between VCC and SOURCE. The internal HV regulator charges this capacitor during startup and fault recovery; omission causes immediate UVLO lockout and prevents switching initiation per Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
How is overload protection (OLP) triggered and recovered?
OLP activates when FB voltage falls below 1.74V for 220ms, indicating sustained overcurrent. The IC enters latch-off mode, discharging VCC via 16–24μA current source until VCC drops to 2.4–2.8V, then restarts automatically - no external reset required.
What thermal considerations apply to the SOIC8-7B package?
The SOIC8-7B package has θJA = 86°C/W. At 4W output with 420mA peak current, junction temperature rise exceeds 125°C without copper pour; design requires ≥250mm² 2oz external copper connected to pin 7 (GND) and internal SOURCE plane to maintain TJ ≤125°C at +50°C ambient.
Is MP163BGS-33-Z RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes - MP163BGS-33-Z is lead-free, halogen-free, and fully compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, as confirmed in MPS Product Compliance Report #MPS-PC-2018-0914.
