Product details
Overview
MP2152GQFU-15-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a fixed-output 1.5V, 2A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in a 1.2mm×1.6mm UTQFN package, featuring 25μA quiescent current, 1.1MHz switching frequency, and integrated 75mΩ/45mΩ power MOSFETs. It delivers high efficiency across 2.5V–5.5V input for portable instrumentation and battery-powered I/O rails.
For engineers reviewing the MP2152GQFU-15-P datasheet, MP2152GQFU-15-P pinout, MP2152GQFU-15-P application, or MP2152GQFU-15-P equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 1.5V output accuracy (±1%), output discharge capability, thermal shutdown at 160°C, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MP2152GQFU-15-P employs constant-on-time (COT) control with input voltage feed-forward to maintain stable 1.1MHz switching across its 2.5V–5.5V input range. Its internal high-side P-MOSFET (75mΩ) and low-side N-MOSFET (45mΩ) enable up to 2A continuous output with 100% duty-cycle capability for low-dropout operation.
Fault protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting (2.8A peak), hiccup-mode short-circuit protection, VOUT over-voltage protection (115% of 1.5V = 1.725V), and thermal shutdown with 30°C hysteresis. The device enters sleep mode under light load to sustain 25μA IQ while maintaining regulation via valley FB sensing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±1% (1478–1522mV over –40°C to +125°C) |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous; derates to ~1.8A at 85°C ambient with 1.2mm×1.6mm UTQFN |
| Quiescent Current | 30–35μA (typical, no switching, VIN=5V, TJ=25°C) |
| Switching Frequency | 1.1MHz nominal; stable across input/output due to COT + feed-forward |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V; UVLO rising threshold = 2.45V with 200mV hysteresis |
| Internal MOSFET RDS(ON) | 75mΩ (high-side), 45mΩ (low-side) at VIN=5V - enables high-efficiency at 2A |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C junction temperature with 30°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage |
Pinout & Package
MP2152GQFU-15-P uses a 6-pin UTQFN package (1.2mm × 1.6mm, 0.4mm pitch, exposed thermal pad). Pin mapping is identical for SOT563 and UTQFN variants per datasheet Rev. 1.01.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for power and signal; must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane |
| 2 SW | Switching node | Drain of internal high-side P-MOSFET; connects directly to inductor; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout |
| 3 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 2.5–5.5V; requires local 4.7–10μF ceramic decoupling capacitor near pin |
| 4 EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input (1.2V threshold); internal 1MΩ pulldown; enables output discharge when low |
| 5 PG | Power good indicator | Open-drain output; pulled high by external 100–500kΩ resistor to VIN; asserts when VFB within ±10%/+15% of 1.5V |
| 6 OUT | Output power rail | Regulated 1.5V output; connects to load and output capacitor; senses output voltage for feedback loop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 30–35μA enables >10-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors |
| Integrated power MOSFETs | 75mΩ P-FET + 45mΩ N-FET eliminate external switches and reduce BOM count |
| Output discharge function | Internal discharge MOSFET (200Ω) safely bleeds VOUT when EN=0 - critical for sequencing |
| VOUT over-voltage protection | Dynamic regulation at 115% (1.725V) and absolute 6.1V VIN OVP prevent downstream IC damage |
| Constant-on-time control | Enables <1µs transient response without external compensation components |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS62231DRYR | 1.5V fixed, 300mA max, 2.05V–6.5V input, 22μA IQ, SOT-563 | Lower current rating limits use to sub-500mA loads; smaller package but no output discharge | Select only for ultra-low-power sensor nodes where 2A capability is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for MP2152GQFU-15-P?
A 4.7μF to 10μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of the VIN and GND pins is required. This minimizes input ripple and prevents voltage spikes during high di/dt switching events. Use low-ESR types rated for ≥6.3V with 20% tolerance.
Does MP2152GQFU-15-P require an external feedback resistor divider?
No. MP2152GQFU-15-P has an internally trimmed 1.5V reference and fixed feedback network. Unlike adjustable versions (e.g., MP2152GQFU), it omits the FB pin and integrates regulation - simplifying layout and eliminating resistor tolerance errors.
How does the output discharge function operate during shutdown?
When EN is pulled low, the internal discharge MOSFET (200Ω) connects OUT to GND, actively discharging the output capacitor. This ensures VOUT falls rapidly to 0V within milliseconds, preventing unintended wake-up or latch-up in downstream logic.
Can MP2152GQFU-15-P be used with a 2.5V input to deliver 1.5V at 2A?
Yes. With 2.5V input, the device operates in 100% duty-cycle mode to sustain 1.5V output at full 2A load. Efficiency drops to ~82% (per typical curves), but regulation remains stable - confirmed by datasheet input range specification and minimum off-time (100ns) design.
What is the thermal performance of the UTQFN package in still air?
On a 2-layer JEDEC-standard PCB (EV2152-QFU-00A), θJA is 65°C/W. At 2A load and 5V input, power dissipation is ~0.3W, resulting in ~20°C junction-to-ambient rise - well below the 125°C max operating temperature.
Is the PG pin compatible with 1.8V logic systems?
Yes. PG is open-drain and requires an external pull-up resistor. To interface with 1.8V logic, pull PG to 1.8V (not VIN) using a 100–500kΩ resistor. The internal MOSFET sinks ≤0.4V at 1mA, ensuring valid LOW level for 1.8V I/O thresholds.
Does MP2152GQFU-15-P support forced PWM mode?
No. MP2152GQFU-15-P uses automatic AAM (asynchronous mode) at light load and COT control at medium/heavy load. There is no pin or register to force continuous PWM; operation mode is fully autonomous based on load current and output ripple.
