Product details
Overview
MP2117DN-LF-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a 1.25MHz, 2.2A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in SOIC-8E package, designed for Li+-battery-powered portable systems. It operates from 2.5V–6V input, regulates output down to 0.6V, supports 100% duty cycle for low-dropout operation, and integrates high-side PFET (0.20Ω) and synchronous NFET (0.15Ω) switches.
For engineers reviewing the MP2117DN-LF-Z datasheet, MP2117DN-LF-Z pinout, MP2117DN-LF-Z application, or MP2117DN-LF-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 1.25MHz switching frequency, ±10% PWROK window with 50μs deglitch, 1μA shutdown current, thermal shutdown at 150°C, and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The MP2117DN-LF-Z implements peak-current-mode PWM control with internal slope compensation, enabling stable regulation across >50% duty cycles and fast transient response. Its integrated power stage eliminates external diodes and supports full-cycle 100% duty operation for battery brownout resilience.
It features an open-drain PWROK output asserting HIGH when VOUT is within ±10% of regulation, with built-in 50μs deglitching to suppress false triggers during load transients. EN pin logic threshold is 0.3V–1.5V over –40°C to +85°C, supporting direct microcontroller interface or resistor-divider enable sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 1.25MHz - enables compact LC filter design with ≤2.2μH inductors and reduces EMI fundamental below 2MHz. |
| Continuous Output Current | 2.2A - sustained delivery under thermal limits in SOIC-8E package at TA ≤70°C with θJA = 50°C/W. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 6V - matches single-cell Li+ battery discharge profile (4.2V–2.7V) with margin for voltage drops. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.596V ±1.2% (25°C), ±2.2% (–40°C to +85°C) - sets output accuracy via external resistor divider; enables 0.6V–6V programmable VOUT. |
| Shutdown Current | 1μA max - minimizes battery drain in standby mode for portable instrumentation and PDAs. |
| PWROK Accuracy Window | ±10% around regulated VOUT - provides reliable power-good signaling for system sequencers without external comparators. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 150°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects die integrity during overload or poor PCB heatsinking; auto-recovery on cooldown. |
Pinout & Package
MP2117DN-LF-Z uses the SOIC-8E (8-pin, 3.9mm × 4.9mm, 1.27mm pitch) package with exposed pad connected to GND for thermal performance. Pin mapping is validated per MPS datasheet Rev. 0.92.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Supply | Primary power input (2.5V–6V); requires local 10–22μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor to PGND. |
| 2 (SW) | Switch Node | Drain connection of internal PFET and source of NFET; high dv/dt node requiring short, low-inductance routing to inductor. |
| 3 (PGND) | Power Ground | Return path for high-current synchronous rectifier; must be tied directly to IN capacitor ground and exposed pad. |
| 4,5 (GND) | Analog Ground | Reference for FB, EN, and internal error amplifier; connect to PGND at single point near exposed pad. |
| 6 (FB) | Feedback Input | Senses output via resistor divider; high-impedance (±50nA bias) node sensitive to noise-route away from SW. |
| 7 (PWROK) | Power-Good Open Drain | Active-low indicator pulled up externally; asserts HIGH only when VOUT is within ±10% of target for ≥50μs. |
| 8 (EN) | Enable Control | Logic-level input (0.3V/1.5V thresholds); tie to VIN via resistor divider for automatic startup or MCU GPIO for sequencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated PFET/NFET Power Stage | 0.20Ω / 0.15Ω RDS(on) - eliminates external Schottky diode, achieves >90% efficiency at 1.8V/2A with 5V input. |
| 100% Duty Cycle Operation | Enables dropout <100mV at 2.2A - extends runtime in Li+ systems as battery discharges below VOUT + VDS(on). |
| Internal Compensation | Eliminates external Type-II/III compensation network - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity for ceramic-capacitor-only designs. |
| Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limit | 3.3A typical peak limit - prevents MOSFET destruction during short-circuit or startup into heavy loads without external sensing. |
| Internal Soft-Start | Programmed 1ms ramp time - controls inrush current into output capacitors, avoiding input rail collapse or PWROK false assertion. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP1605DJ-LF-Z | 2.5A rating, 2MHz switching, smaller 8-pin QFN (2mm×2mm), lower quiescent current (25μA) | Requires revised PCB layout and smaller inductor; better suited for space-constrained wearables | Select for new designs needing higher current headroom and miniaturization; not drop-in compatible due to package and pinout change |
| RT8059NGQW | 2A rating, 1.5MHz, external compensation, adjustable soft-start, no PWROK output | Lacks integrated power-good signaling; requires external comparator for system sequencing | Choose when design flexibility (e.g., custom loop tuning) outweighs BOM simplicity and PWROK dependency |
Compared with MP2117DN-LF-Z, MP1605DJ-LF-Z offers higher current and frequency in a smaller footprint but demands layout revision, while RT8059NGQW trades PWROK and integration for tuning freedom-neither replicates the exact SOIC-8E drop-in replacement capability for legacy Li+ portable systems.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for MP2117DN-LF-Z?
A 10μF to 22μF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor placed directly between IN and PGND is required. This capacitor must have low ESR (<10mΩ) and be located within 2mm of the IN and PGND pins to suppress high-frequency switching noise and reduce input surge current.
Does MP2117DN-LF-Z support adjustable switching frequency?
No. MP2117DN-LF-Z has a factory-trimmed, internally fixed switching frequency of 1.25MHz. There is no external resistor or capacitor option to adjust frequency; this simplifies design but precludes EMI frequency shifting or efficiency optimization across load ranges.
How does the PWROK signal behave during thermal shutdown?
During thermal shutdown, PWROK is actively pulled LOW. It remains LOW until the junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~130°C), output voltage re-regulates to within ±10% of target, and the 50μs deglitch timer expires-ensuring clean system reset without chatter.
Can MP2117DN-LF-Z operate with an output voltage below 0.6V?
No. The internal feedback reference is trimmed to 0.596V ±1.2%, and the datasheet specifies a minimum regulated output of 0.6V. Attempting lower outputs via external circuitry violates regulation accuracy and may cause instability or undervoltage lockout behavior.
What is the maximum allowable continuous output current at 85°C ambient?
At TA = +85°C, continuous output current is limited to approximately 1.4A in SOIC-8E package. This is derived from thermal limits: PD(max) = (150°C − 85°C)/50°C/W = 1.3W; subtracting quiescent losses leaves ~1.25W for I²R dissipation, yielding IOUT ≈ √(1.25W / 0.35Ω) ≈ 1.4A.
Is MP2117DN-LF-Z pin-compatible with MP2117DQ-LF-Z?
No. MP2117DN-LF-Z uses SOIC-8E (8-pin) packaging with specific pin assignments, while MP2117DQ-LF-Z uses 10-pin QFN (3mm×3mm). Their pin counts, layouts, thermal pads, and pin functions differ-PCB redesign is required for substitution.
