Product details
Overview
MP2151GQFU-33-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a fixed-output 3.3V, 1A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with 25μA quiescent current, 1.1MHz switching frequency, and integrated 80mΩ/50mΩ MOSFETs. It operates from 2.5V–5.5V input, delivers ±1% output accuracy over temperature, and includes output discharge, OVP, SCP, and thermal shutdown - deployed in battery-powered portable instruments and low-voltage I/O power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MP2151GQFU-33-P datasheet, MP2151GQFU-33-P pinout, MP2151GQFU-33-P application, or MP2151GQFU-33-P equivalent, key selection considerations include its UTQFN (1.2mm×1.6mm) package footprint, PG open-drain indicator timing thresholds (90%/85% UV, 115%/105% OV), 0.5ms soft-start duration, and COT control architecture enabling fast transient response without external compensation.
Technical Context
The MP2151GQFU-33-P implements constant-on-time (COT) control with input voltage feed-forward to maintain stable 1.1MHz switching across 2.5V–5.5V input and 3.3V output, eliminating need for loop compensation. Its internal high-side P-channel and low-side N-channel MOSFETs (80mΩ/50mΩ) enable synchronous rectification and 100% duty-cycle operation for ultra-low dropout.
It integrates power-good (PG) monitoring with ±10% rising/falling thresholds relative to 3.3V nominal, plus output discharge via internal 200Ω resistor when EN is low. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.8A typ), hiccup-mode short-circuit recovery, and thermal shutdown at 160°C with 30°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures stable rail for MCU I/O or RF front-end biasing without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - supports single-core microcontrollers, Bluetooth SoCs, or sensor hubs without thermal derating on 2-layer PCBs. |
| Quiescent Current | 30–35μA (typ) - enables >1-year battery life in always-on wearable sensors powered by coin cells. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.1MHz - allows use of compact 1μH shielded inductors and reduces EMI filtering burden in space-constrained layouts. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB VBUS (4.75–5.25V), and 3.3V LDO pre-regulated supplies. |
| Package | UTQFN-6 (1.2mm × 1.6mm, 0.4mm pitch) - provides 35% smaller footprint than SOT563 while improving thermal resistance (θJA = 65°C/W). |
| Power Good (PG) | Open-drain output with 150μs delay, 0.4V sink @ 1mA - enables precise system power sequencing and brown-out detection in multi-rail designs. |
Pinout & Package
MP2151GQFU-33-P uses a 6-pin UTQFN package (1.2mm × 1.6mm, 0.4mm pitch) with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. Thermal pad is internally connected to GND for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for high-frequency switching currents; must be connected to large copper pour under thermal pad. |
| 2 SW | Switch node | Drain of internal high-side P-MOSFET; connects directly to inductor; requires minimal trace length to reduce EMI and ringing. |
| 3 VIN | Input supply | Accepts 2.5–5.5V unregulated input; requires local 10μF ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of pin. |
| 4 OUT | Output sense and power rail | Provides regulated 3.3V output; also serves as voltage sense point for internal regulation loop and PG monitoring. |
| 5 FB | Feedback input | Not used in fixed-output MP2151GQFU-33-P; internally tied to reference; leave floating or connect to GND per layout guidelines. |
| 6 EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input (1.2V threshold); pulls down internally via 1MΩ resistor; initiates soft-start and output discharge when low. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ sleep mode | 30–35μA quiescent current enables >10-year shelf life in IoT edge nodes with intermittent wake-up cycles. |
| Integrated output discharge | 200Ω internal discharge path clears 3.3V rail within 10ms after EN deactivation - prevents back-powering of upstream circuitry. |
| Fixed 3.3V output with PG | ±1% accuracy and open-drain PG signal simplify power sequencing in FPGA/CPU core logic requiring strict rail validation. |
| COT control with no compensation | Eliminates external RC network; achieves <10μs load transient recovery time for burst-mode wireless transceivers. |
| Robust protection suite | Hiccup-mode SCP, 115% OVP clamping, and 160°C thermal shutdown ensure reliable operation in unattended industrial sensors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS62840DLCR | 2.7–6.5V input, 3.3V fixed, 1.8A, 1.8μA IQ, 2.25MHz - higher efficiency above 500mA but larger QFN-8 package (1.5mm×2.0mm). | Preferred for high-density wearables needing >1.5A peak current and sub-2μA shutdown IQ. | Select if board space allows larger package and system demands <2μA shutdown current with faster transient response. |
| Analog Devices ADP5302ACPZ-3.3-R7 | 1.8–5.5V input, 3.3V fixed, 1A, 250nA IQ, 2MHz - ultra-low IQ but lacks PG and output discharge; requires external soft-start capacitor. | Suitable for medical patch monitors where nanowatt standby dominates lifetime calculation. | Choose only when PG signaling is unnecessary and board-level soft-start timing can be externally controlled. |
Compared with TPS62840DLCR and ADP5302ACPZ-3.3-R7, MP2151GQFU-33-P uniquely balances ultra-small UTQFN size, integrated PG+discharge, and 30μA IQ - making it optimal for cost-sensitive portable instruments where reliability and layout simplicity outweigh extreme IQ minimization.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of MP2151GQFU-33-P over temperature?
The MP2151GQFU-33-P delivers 3.3V output with ±1% accuracy across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature, verified by characterization data showing min/max of 3.251V and 3.349V at extremes. This is achieved via laser-trimmed internal reference and matched feedback divider.
Does MP2151GQFU-33-P require external feedback resistors?
No. MP2151GQFU-33-P is a factory-programmed fixed-output variant; the FB pin is internally connected to the 0.6V reference and must be left floating or tied to GND per MPS layout recommendations. External resistors are only required for adjustable versions like MP2151GQFU.
How does the power-good (PG) signal behave during startup and fault conditions?
PG asserts high (via external pull-up) 150μs after VOUT reaches 90% of 3.3V and remains high until VOUT drops below 85% (UV) or rises above 115% (OV). During short-circuit or OVP events, PG pulls low within 150μs to signal fault condition to host controller.
Can MP2151GQFU-33-P operate with input voltage below 2.5V?
No. The device incorporates an under-voltage lockout (UVLO) with 2.45V rising threshold and 200mV hysteresis. Operation ceases below ~2.25V input, and the part enters shutdown with 0.5–1μA current draw. It will not regulate or switch below 2.5V nominal input.
What is the recommended inductor value and DCR limit for MP2151GQFU-33-P?
MPS recommends a 1.0–2.2μH shielded power inductor with DC resistance ≤50mΩ. For 3.3V/1A operation from 5V input, a 1.0μH inductor (e.g., Coilcraft XAL5030-102MEB) yields optimal efficiency (>88%) and transient response while minimizing board area.
Is output discharge active during EN-controlled shutdown only, or also during VIN dropout?
Output discharge is activated exclusively when EN is pulled low (or left floating, due to internal 1MΩ pull-down). It is not triggered during VIN undervoltage or thermal shutdown - those conditions disable switching but retain output capacitance charge until external load discharges it.
What thermal performance can be expected on a standard 2-layer PCB?
On a 63mm×63mm 2-layer PCB (EV2151-QFU-00A reference), MP2151GQFU-33-P exhibits θJA = 65°C/W. At 1A load and 5V input, junction temperature rise is ~65°C above ambient - staying well below 125°C max rating with no heatsink required.
