Product details
Overview
MP171GJ-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a 700 V primary-side constant-voltage (CV) offline regulator with integrated MOSFET, supporting buck/boost/buck-boost/flyback topologies in non-isolated AC/DC conversion. It delivers up to 60 mA output current in CCM, achieves <30 mW no-load power consumption, and incorporates thermal shutdown, OLP, SCP, and open-loop protection. It targets low-power standby supplies in home appliances and white goods.
For engineers reviewing the MP171GJ-P datasheet, MP171GJ-P pinout, MP171GJ-P application, or MP171GJ-P equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, TSOT23-5 package details, CV regulation behavior, green-mode frequency foldback, and real-world design constraints for offline low-power systems.
Technical Context
The MP171GJ-P implements primary-side CV regulation via sampling capacitor feedback without optocoupler, using an internal 2.55 V reference and 6 µs delayed FB sampling after MOSFET turn-off. Its green-mode operation dynamically reduces both peak current (down to ~85 mA) and switching frequency under light load to maintain high efficiency.
It integrates a 700 V, 25 Ω RDS(on) MOSFET with leading-edge blanking (350 ns), supports VCC self-supply from DRAIN, and features auto-restart protection logic for OLP (175 ms delay), SCP (>300 mA threshold), and TSD (150 °C trip with 30 °C hysteresis).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology Support | Buck, boost, buck-boost, flyback - enables flexible non-isolated AC/DC designs without transformer isolation |
| Max Output Current | 60 mA in CCM - defines maximum continuous load capability at full input voltage and ambient |
| No-Load Power | <30 mW - meets stringent standby energy requirements for consumer appliances |
| Integrated MOSFET | 700 V breakdown, 25 Ω RDS(on) - eliminates external HV switch and simplifies BOM |
| VCC Operating Range | 5.1–5.8 V with 250 mV hysteresis - ensures stable internal bias during line transients and brownouts |
| FB Reference Voltage | 2.55 V ±100 mV - sets output voltage accuracy via external resistor divider (R1/R2) |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150 °C trip, 120 °C recovery - protects die during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
MP171GJ-P is housed in a 5-pin TSOT23-5 package with exposed drain pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 = VCC, Pin 2 = FB, Pins 3–4 = SOURCE (internally tied), Pin 5 = DRAIN. Pins NC are not bonded.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Internal control circuit power supply - must be decoupled with low-ESR capacitor; self-supplied from DRAIN |
| 2 | FB | Primary-side feedback input - samples output via external capacitor; triggers regulation at 2.55 V |
| 3, 4 | SOURCE | MOSFET source and ground reference - common return for VCC and FB; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| 5 | DRAIN | High-voltage MOSFET drain - connects directly to rectified AC input; carries full primary current and HV stress |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Primary-side CV regulation | Eliminates optocoupler and secondary-side TL431, reducing component count and cost in non-isolated supplies |
| Green-mode frequency foldback | Switching frequency decreases with load - maintains >70% efficiency at 10% load and enables <30 mW no-load consumption |
| Integrated 700 V MOSFET | Reduces external parts count by one active device and avoids gate-drive complexity in offline designs |
| Peak current compression | Reduces peak current limit from 105 mA down to ~85 mA at light load - lowers conduction loss and improves light-load efficiency |
| Auto-restart protection suite | OLP (175 ms timer), SCP (>300 mA), TSD (150 °C), open-loop (<0.5 V FB) - ensures robust fault recovery without latch-off |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar primary-side offline regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP171A-GJ-Z | Successor with improved EMI performance, tighter FB tolerance (±1%), and enhanced OLP immunity | Recommended for new designs requiring lower radiated emissions and higher output accuracy | Select MP171A-GJ-Z when designing to latest CISPR-32 or FCC Part 15B requirements |
| LNK304DG | 725 V switch, 132 kHz fixed frequency, no frequency foldback, higher no-load power (~65 mW) | Used in legacy designs where constant-frequency operation simplifies EMI filter design | Choose LNK304DG only if existing layout uses fixed-frequency control and thermal margin exceeds 2× MP171GJ-P |
Compared with MP171GJ-P, MP171A-GJ-Z offers tighter regulation and lower EMI but requires updated compensation; LNK304DG provides higher voltage rating and simpler timing but sacrifices light-load efficiency and adds external bias complexity.

FAQ
What is the recommended minimum off-time for MP171GJ-P in CCM operation?
The MP171GJ-P specifies a minimum off-time of 7.5–12.5 μs, with typical value 10 μs. This parameter directly limits maximum output power in CCM mode and must be respected in inductor selection to avoid saturation and regulation loss at full load.
Can MP171GJ-P operate without an external dummy load?
No - a minimum 3 mA dummy load is required to ensure sufficient inductor energy for sampling capacitor charging and reliable FB voltage detection. Omitting it causes open-loop faults and regulation failure at light or no load.
How does the internal VCC self-supply function during startup?
At power-on, the internal 700 V current source charges the external VCC capacitor from the DRAIN pin until VCC reaches 5.7 V (VCCOFF), triggering IC startup and disabling the HV supply. When VCC drops below 5.5 V (VCCON), the HV supply re-engages to recharge VCC.
What is the purpose of the 6 µs FB sampling delay?
The 6 µs delay after MOSFET turn-off allows freewheeling diode reverse recovery and parasitic ringing to settle before sampling the output voltage on the feedback capacitor. This prevents false regulation errors caused by transient spikes on the FB node.
Why does MP171GJ-P use dual leading-edge blanking times?
It employs 350 ns blanking for normal current limiting and 180 ns for short-circuit protection to distinguish between benign turn-on spikes and true overcurrent events, preventing nuisance tripping during startup or transient load steps.
Is MP171GJ-P RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - MP171GJ-P is lead-free, halogen-free, and fully compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. MPS confirms green status per its Quality Assurance documentation, with material declarations available upon request.
