Product details
Overview
MP163BGSE-5-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a 700V non-isolated offline primary-side regulator with integrated 700V MOSFET and 5V LDO, supporting buck/boost/flyback topologies for dual-output CV regulation without optocoupler. It delivers up to 4W output power, achieves <30mW no-load consumption, and features green-mode operation with frequency foldback and peak-current compression. Used in home appliance standby supplies and industrial control auxiliary rails.
For engineers reviewing the MP163BGSE-5-P datasheet, MP163BGSE-5-P pinout, MP163BGSE-5-P application, or MP163BGSE-5-P equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOIC16 package, 420mA peak current limit, 14Ω RDS(on), thermal shutdown at 150°C, and integrated LDO enabling compact dual-rail designs without secondary-side feedback.
Technical Context
The MP163BGSE-5-P implements primary-side constant voltage (CV) control using sampled output voltage via an internal error amplifier referenced to 2.55V, with ramp compensation and 6µs delayed FB sampling after MOSFET turn-off. Its green-mode operation dynamically reduces switching frequency and peak current under light load to maintain high efficiency.
It integrates a 700V vertical DMOS power switch with 14Ω typical RDS(on) and a dedicated 5V LDO (±2% output accuracy, 150mA continuous, 270mA peak), sharing SOURCE as common ground reference for VCC, FB, and LDO GND. Protection includes OLP (220ms delay), SCP (600mA threshold), UVLO (5.1–5.8V hysteresis), and open-loop detection (<0.5V FB).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | Up to 700V DC on DRAIN pin - enables direct universal AC input rectification without external HV startup resistor. |
| Peak Current Limit | 420mA typical - sets maximum energy per cycle in buck/boost topologies; determines max output power with inductor value. |
| MOSFET RDS(on) | 14Ω at 25°C - defines conduction loss and thermal rise in high-voltage switching stage; lower than MP163A variant. |
| LDO Output | 5.0V ±2%, 150mA continuous - powers microcontrollers or sensors directly; dropout ≤1.1V at 150mA enables use with ≥6V input rails. |
| No-Load Power | <30mW - meets Energy Star Level VI and EU CoC Tier 2 standby requirements for white goods and consumer electronics. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C junction temperature - halts switching and discharges VCC to 2.8V; recovers at 120°C hysteresis for safe restart. |
| Feedback Reference | 2.55V ±100mV - precision internal reference used with external resistor divider to set main output voltage (e.g., 12V, 15V, 24V). |
Pinout & Package
MP163BGSE-5-P is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package with exposed pad (SOIC16), optimized for thermal dissipation in offline SMPS applications. Pin assignments are validated per MPS MP163 Rev. 1.02 datasheet, page 12.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 15 (IN) | LDO Input | Accepts 4.3–17V input to LDO; connects to main converter output rail (e.g., 12V buck output) to generate clean 5V supply. |
| 11 (SOURCE) | MOSFET Source / Ground Reference | Common return for VCC, FB, and LDO GND; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling into feedback path. |
| 8 (DRAIN) | High-Voltage Switch Node | Connects to rectified AC line (up to 700V); integrates 700V MOSFET - eliminates need for external HV FET and gate driver. |
| 9 (VCC) | Internal Bias Supply | Charged by internal HV regulator from DRAIN; powers control circuitry; UVLO thresholds (5.1V ON / 5.6V OFF) enable self-starting. |
| 10 (FB) | Primary-Side Feedback Input | Samples output voltage via RC network; triggers switching when voltage drops below 2.55V reference - enables optocoupler-free regulation. |
| 1, 4, 14 (GND) | LDO Ground | Dedicated ground pins for LDO section; separate from SOURCE but internally tied - improves PSRR and reduces LDO output ripple. |
| 3 (OUT) | LDO Output | Delivers regulated 5V; requires local 1µF ceramic capacitor; current-limited to 270mA during overload to prevent thermal runaway. |
| 16 (EN) | LDO Enable Control | Logic-level input (1.48V threshold); high = enable LDO, low = shutdown (3µA quiescent); allows system-level power sequencing. |
| 2, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13 | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no routing or soldering required to avoid parasitic coupling or latch-up risk. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 700V MOSFET + LDO | Reduces BOM count by 3–5 components (HV FET, gate driver, LDO IC, decoupling caps) while maintaining dual-rail capability. |
| Primary-side CV regulation | Eliminates optocoupler, TL431, and secondary-side feedback network - improves reliability and reduces layout complexity. |
| Green-mode frequency foldback | Switching frequency drops below 28kHz at light load, reducing core loss and EMI; maintains >75% efficiency at 10% load. |
| Leading-edge blanking (180ns) | Suppresses false overcurrent trips caused by MOSFET turn-on spikes and diode reverse recovery - ensures stable CCM/DCM transition. |
| Open-loop protection | Shuts down if FB falls below 0.5V (e.g., feedback resistor open or capacitor short) - prevents unregulated high-voltage output. |
| Soft-start with two-phase timing | 128-cycle phases gradually reduce minimum off-time from τminoff_SS1 to τminoff - prevents inrush current and output overshoot at startup. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output power achievable with MP163BGSE-5-P in a buck topology?
The MP163BGSE-5-P supports up to 4W continuous output power in buck configuration, verified at 230VAC input, 12V/200mA main output, and 5V/50mA LDO output with 1mH inductor and 25°C ambient. Power is limited by 420mA peak current and thermal dissipation in SOIC16 package (1.56W PD max).
Can the integrated LDO be disabled independently of the main switching regulator?
Yes. The EN pin (Pin 16) controls only the LDO section: driving it low disables the 5V LDO output while leaving the main switching regulator fully operational. This allows independent power sequencing - for example, keeping the 12V rail active while shutting down logic circuitry.
How does the MP163BGSE-5-P achieve optocoupler-free regulation without compromising cross-regulation in dual-output designs?
It uses primary-side sampling of the main output via a capacitor (C3) charged during freewheeling phase, referenced to the 2.55V internal comparator. Cross-regulation relies on coupled inductor design and careful RC time-constant matching between outputs - confirmed in MPS AN-107 application note for flyback configurations.
What is the recommended minimum off-time (τminoff) setting for MP163BGSE-5-P in boost topology at full load?
The datasheet specifies τminoff = 12µs (typical) for MP163B-grade devices. In boost topology, this value ensures sufficient energy transfer at full load while preventing sub-harmonic oscillation; it is fixed internally and not user-adjustable.
Does MP163BGSE-5-P support synchronous rectification?
No. The MP163BGSE-5-P drives only its internal 700V MOSFET and does not provide a gate drive output for external synchronous rectifier FETs. Freewheeling diode conduction is managed by external ultra-fast diodes (e.g., UGC10JH) as specified in the datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of MP163BGSE-5-P in standard SOIC16 layout?
Measured per JESD51-7 on 4-layer PCB, θJA = 80°C/W for MP163BGSE-5-P in SOIC16 package. This value assumes 2oz copper, 1in² thermal pad connected to inner ground plane, and no additional heatsinking - sufficient for ≤1.2W dissipation at 70°C ambient.
How does the open-loop protection respond if the FB resistor divider becomes disconnected?
If FB voltage drops below 0.5V (e.g., R1 open or R2 short), the IC immediately stops switching, discharges VCC via 16µA current source, and enters restart cycle once VCC falls below VCCpro (2.8V). This prevents uncontrolled high-voltage output and protects downstream loads.
