Product details
Overview
MP2107DQ-LF-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a 4A, 1.5MHz fixed-frequency synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in a 3mm × 3mm 10-pin QFN package. It operates from 2.7V to 6V input, delivers adjustable output down to 0.8V, integrates 80mΩ high-side and 60mΩ low-side MOSFETs, and features power good (POK), frequency synchronization, and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection - used in FPGA core supplies and point-of-load regulation.
For engineers reviewing the MP2107DQ-LF-Z datasheet, MP2107DQ-LF-Z pinout, MP2107DQ-LF-Z application, or MP2107DQ-LF-Z equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, thermal resistance (θJA = 50°C/W), soft-start timing (120µs), POK trip thresholds (±10% VOUT), and EN/SYNC logic thresholds (1.6V turn-on, 0.4V shutdown) - all confirmed from Monolithic Power's Rev. 1.1 datasheet.
Technical Context
The MP2107DQ-LF-Z uses peak current-mode PWM control with internal Type II compensation, eliminating external compensation components while supporting loop bandwidth tuning via FB resistor selection. Its transconductance gain of 11.25A/V links COMP voltage directly to output current, simplifying stability design for ceramic-capacitor-based outputs.
It implements dual-function EN/SYNC pin logic: TTL-compatible enable thresholds (0.4V/1.6V) and 1–2MHz external clock synchronization capability. The integrated bootstrap circuit drives the high-side N-channel MOSFET using a capacitor between BS and SW pins, enabling efficient 95% operation without external Schottky diodes at ≤2A loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 4A continuous - supports FPGA core rails and ASIC I/O supplies without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 6V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, USB PD, and 5V bus systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz fixed - enables compact magnetics (0.47–1µH inductors) and reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.800V ±24mV - sets output voltage via external resistor divider; enables 0.8V–0.9×VIN adjustment. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 50°C/W - requires ≥250mm² exposed pad copper area for full 4A operation at +85°C ambient. |
| Soft-Start Time | 120µs - prevents inrush current during power-up; disables switching if output is pre-biased. |
| Power Good Accuracy | ±10% VOUT window with 30µs deglitch - provides reliable system reset signaling for µP sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
MP2107DQ-LF-Z uses a thermally enhanced 3mm × 3mm 10-pin QFN package with exposed pad (connected to GND). Package meets JEDEC MO-229 VEED-5 standard; coplanarity ≤0.10mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (FB) | Feedback Input | Connects to resistive divider midpoint; compares against 0.8V internal reference to regulate output. |
| 2,9 (GND) | Ground Return | Dual ground pins reduce PCB impedance; must connect to large copper pour tied to input/output capacitor negatives. |
| 3,8 (SW) | Switch Node | High-current node connecting internal high/low-side MOSFETs to external inductor; requires short, wide trace. |
| 4,7 (IN) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.7–6V; requires two parallel 10–22µF ceramic capacitors placed adjacent to these pins. |
| 5 (BS) | Bootstrap Supply | Connects to SW via 0.1µF ceramic capacitor; powers high-side gate driver during duty cycles >50%. |
| 6 (EN/SYNC) | Enable & Sync Input | TTL-compatible enable (0.4V/1.6V thresholds); accepts 1–2MHz external clock for EMI reduction. |
| 10 (POK) | Open-Drain Power Good | Pulls low when VOUT deviates >±10%; requires external pull-up for µP reset assertion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| All-ceramic capacitor support | Eliminates electrolytic bulk caps; reduces board area and improves reliability over temperature. |
| Integrated 80mΩ/60mΩ MOSFETs | Enables >95% efficiency at 4A without external Schottky diode - reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limiting | Protects against overload and short-circuit by limiting peak inductor current per switching cycle. |
| Hiccup-mode short-circuit recovery | Shuts down, discharges soft-start cap, then restarts - prevents thermal runaway during sustained faults. |
| Internal soft-start with pre-bias handling | 120µs ramp prevents output overshoot; disables switching if FB voltage exceeds soft-start voltage at startup. |
Applications
| FPGA Core Supply | ASIC I/O Rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2107ADN-LF-Z | 8-pin SOIC-EP package; includes dedicated VCC pin; higher θJA (50°C/W) but lower θJC (10°C/W). | Preferred for prototyping or low-volume designs where hand-soldering or thermal vias under SOIC pad are feasible. | Select when board space allows larger SOIC footprint and VCC bias flexibility is needed over QFN integration. |
| RT7295BGJ8F | 4A, 2.5–5.5V input, 1.2MHz, 0.6V reference; no POK or SYNC; 8-pin WDFN (2mm × 2mm). | Lacks power-good signaling and frequency synchronization - unsuitable for sequenced or noise-sensitive systems. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-sequenced applications where footprint minimization outweighs feature loss. |
Compared with MP2107DQ-LF-Z, MP2107ADN-LF-Z trades smaller size for easier assembly and VCC flexibility, while RT7295BGJ8F sacrifices POK/SYNC to achieve 2mm × 2mm footprint - making MP2107DQ-LF-Z optimal for space-constrained, sequenced, and EMI-controlled designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended input capacitance for MP2107DQ-LF-Z?
Two parallel 10µF–22µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors are strongly recommended - one on each side of the QFN package, placed directly adjacent to IN and GND pins. This configuration suppresses high-frequency switching noise and ensures stable VCC bias for internal logic, especially critical at full 4A load.
Can MP2107DQ-LF-Z operate with an output pre-biased at startup?
Yes. The IC detects pre-bias on the FB pin and disables both high-side and low-side switches until the internal soft-start capacitor voltage exceeds the sensed output voltage. This prevents reverse current flow and ensures controlled ramp-up even when VOUT is initially non-zero.
How does the EN/SYNC pin behave when used for synchronization versus enable control?
When used for synchronization, a clean 1–2MHz square wave must be applied continuously; any ON/OFF period exceeding 4µs is interpreted as an enable command. For enable-only use, drive the pin above 1.6V (ON) or below 0.4V (OFF) for >4µs - no clock required.
What is the maximum achievable output voltage accuracy over temperature?
The FB reference voltage is specified as 0.776V to 0.824V (±3%) over −40°C to +85°C. Combined with resistor divider tolerance, total output error remains within ±4% for typical 1% feedback resistors - sufficient for FPGA core and I/O rail requirements.
Is an external Schottky diode required for MP2107DQ-LF-Z?
No - the integrated 60mΩ synchronous rectifier eliminates need for external diode at ≤2A loads. However, Monolithic Power recommends adding a B0530 Schottky diode across SW and GND for >2A applications to minimize negative voltage spikes and improve efficiency by ~0.5%.
What PCB layout practices prevent instability in MP2107DQ-LF-Z designs?
Key practices include: (1) placing input capacitors directly on both sides of the QFN package, (2) routing SW with short/wide traces away from FB and POK, (3) connecting all GND pins to a solid inner-layer ground plane, and (4) keeping FB trace length under 5mm with no test points or vias - per MPS EVB guidelines.
Does MP2107DQ-LF-Z support forced PWM mode under light load?
No. The MP2107DQ-LF-Z operates exclusively in fixed-frequency PWM mode across all load conditions - it does not enter power-save or discontinuous conduction mode. This ensures constant switching frequency for predictable EMI filtering and transient response.
