Product details
Overview
MP2151GTF-25-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a fixed-output 2.5V, 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 ±1.5% output accuracy over temperature, and includes output discharge, OVP, SCP, and thermal shutdown-designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring ultra-low IQ and compact power delivery.
For engineers reviewing the MP2151GTF-25-Z datasheet, MP2151GTF-25-Z pinout, MP2151GTF-25-Z application, or MP2151GTF-25-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 2.5V output, SOT563 package footprint, EN-controlled sequencing, PG indicator functionality, and suitability for space-constrained, low-IQ systems such as wireless sensors and handheld instrumentation.
Technical Context
The MP2151GTF-25-Z implements constant-on-time (COT) control with input voltage feed-forward to maintain stable 1.1MHz switching across 2.5V–5.5V input and 2.5V output, enabling fast transient response without external compensation. Its internal power stage integrates complementary P-channel high-side (80mΩ) and N-channel low-side (50mΩ) MOSFETs optimized for efficiency at light and full load.
It features dedicated power-good (PG) monitoring with ±5% window detection (90%/105% thresholds), open-drain output requiring external pull-up, and automatic output discharge during disable via internal 200Ω resistor. Sleep-mode operation reduces IQ to 25μA while maintaining regulation through valley-FB control.

Pinout & Package
SOT563 package: 6-pin, 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm body, 0.5mm pitch, exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 marked by dot; pins numbered counterclockwise from top-left corner when viewed from top.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for high-current switching loop; must be connected to low-impedance ground plane under IC for EMI and thermal performance. |
| 2 SW | Switch node | Drain of internal high-side P-MOSFET; connects directly to inductor; carries high di/dt; requires tight layout to minimize ringing and EMI. |
| 3 VIN | Input supply | Unregulated 2.5–5.5V input; requires local 10μF ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of pin to suppress input voltage spikes. |
| 4 EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input (1.2V threshold); internal 1MΩ pulldown allows floating-disable; controls startup sequencing and system-level power management. |
| 5 PG | Power good indicator | Open-drain output signaling valid 2.5V rail (90–105% window); requires external 100–500kΩ pull-up to VIN or VOUT for host processor monitoring. |
| 6 OUT | Output sense & power rail | Regulated 2.5V output; also serves as voltage sense point for internal feedback; connects to load and output capacitor; routed with low-inductance path. |

FAQ
What is the purpose of the PG pin on MP2151GTF-25-Z?
The PG (power good) pin is an open-drain output that signals when the 2.5V output is within ±5% of regulation (90–105%). It requires an external 100–500kΩ pull-up resistor to VIN or VOUT. When asserted, PG indicates stable rail conditions for safe MCU boot or peripheral enablement-critical for deterministic power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Does MP2151GTF-25-Z require external feedback resistors?
No. MP2151GTF-25-Z is a fixed-output variant with internal feedback network set to 2.5V. Unlike the adjustable MP2151GTF, it omits FB pin functionality and instead uses PG on pin 5. This eliminates resistor tolerance errors and layout sensitivity, improving output accuracy to ±1.5% over temperature without external components.
How does the output discharge function operate?
When EN is pulled low, the MP2151GTF-25-Z activates an internal 200Ω discharge path between OUT and GND. This rapidly discharges the output capacitor, collapsing VOUT within milliseconds. It prevents back-powering of upstream circuitry, avoids latch-up in mixed-voltage systems, and ensures clean reset behavior during power cycling or battery replacement.
Can MP2151GTF-25-Z operate with input voltage below 2.5V?
No. The absolute minimum input voltage is 2.5V per datasheet specifications, with UVLO rising threshold at 2.45V typical. Operation below this level disables regulation and may cause unpredictable behavior. For sub-2.5V inputs, consider boost or buck-boost alternatives like MPS MP2166 or TI TPS61099.
What thermal performance can be expected in SOT563 package?
In standard 2-layer PCB layout (EV2151-TF-00A), θJA is 80°C/W. At 1A load and 5V input, junction temperature rise is ~65°C above ambient-well within 125°C max TJ. For sustained 1A operation, use ≥2cm² copper pour under exposed pad and minimize trace resistance to GND for optimal thermal dissipation.
Is MP2151GTF-25-Z pin-compatible with other MP2151 variants?
Yes-MP2151GTF-25-Z shares identical SOT563 pinout and footprint with MP2151GTF (adjustable), MP2151GTF-12, -15, -18, and -33. Only pin 5 differs functionally: FB on adjustable versions versus PG on fixed-output versions. Layout reuse is possible, but schematic must route pin 5 appropriately per variant.
What is the minimum off-time specification and why does it matter?
Minimum off-time is 100ns. This parameter prevents inductor current runaway during large load transients by enforcing a lower bound on switching period. It ensures stable operation even at high duty cycles (e.g., VIN=2.7V → VOUT=2.5V), avoiding subharmonic oscillation and maintaining COT loop integrity across the full input range.
