Product details
Overview
MP2152GQFU-25-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a fixed-output 2.5V, 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 MOSFETs. It delivers stable power to low-voltage I/O rails in portable instrumentation and battery-powered devices with output discharge and over-voltage protection.
For engineers reviewing the MP2152GQFU-25-Z datasheet, MP2152GQFU-25-Z pinout, MP2152GQFU-25-Z application, or MP2152GQFU-25-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5V fixed output accuracy (±0.5% at 25°C), 25μA IQ for ultra-low-power standby, 100% duty cycle capability, thermal shutdown at 160°C, and compatibility with standard 1µH shielded inductors and 22µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The MP2152GQFU-25-Z employs constant-on-time (COT) control with input voltage feed-forward to maintain stable 1.1MHz switching across 2.5V–5.5V input range and 2.5V output. Its internal high-side P-MOSFET (75mΩ) and low-side N-MOSFET (45mΩ) enable synchronous rectification without external diodes.
Fault management includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting (2.8A peak), hiccup-mode short-circuit protection, VOUT OVP (115% of 2.5V = 2.875V), and absolute VIN OVP (6.1V). Output discharge activates automatically during shutdown via an internal 200Ω resistor between OUT and GND.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±0.5% at 25°C; ensures precise rail generation for 2.5V logic and analog interfaces. |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous; supports power-hungry peripherals like Wi-Fi SoCs or multi-function printer controllers. |
| Quiescent Current | 25μA at 5V input; enables >1-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes with 200mAh coin cells. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.1MHz nominal; allows use of compact 1µH inductors and reduces EMI filtering complexity. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB 5V, and dual-cell alkaline inputs. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1% on 600mV reference; guarantees 2.5V output stays within ±25mV under full load and temperature (-40°C to +125°C). |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C with 30°C hysteresis; prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
MP2152GQFU-25-Z uses a 6-pin UTQFN package (1.2mm × 1.6mm, 0.4mm pitch) with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. Thermal pad exposed on bottom improves heat dissipation in compact layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits and output current; must connect directly to PCB ground plane. |
| SW | Switching node | Drain of internal high-side P-MOSFET; connects to inductor; carries high di/dt and requires tight layout to minimize EMI. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 2.5–5.5V; requires local 10µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed <2mm from pin. |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input (1.2V threshold); floating or grounded disables device and triggers automatic output discharge. |
| PG | Power good indicator | Open-drain output; pulled high by external 100–500kΩ resistor to VIN when VOUT is within ±10%/+15% of 2.5V. |
| OUT | Output power rail | Regulated 2.5V supply; connects to load and output capacitor; senses output voltage for regulation loop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 25μA enables >10-year shelf life in IoT edge sensors powered by primary lithium batteries. |
| Integrated power MOSFETs | 75mΩ high-side + 45mΩ low-side reduce BOM count and improve efficiency above 85% at 1A load. |
| Output discharge function | Internal 200Ω discharge path clears residual charge from output caps within 1ms after shutdown-critical for safe hot-swap and sequencing. |
| VOUT over-voltage protection | Dynamic regulation at 115% (2.875V) prevents damage to downstream 2.5V-tolerant ICs during transient faults. |
| Constant-on-time control | Delivers <10µs load transient response with no external compensation required-ideal for FPGA core rails with fast current steps. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output 2.5V buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS62231DRYR | 2.5V fixed, 300mA max, 20μA IQ, 3MHz switching, SOT-563 | Lower current rating limits use to low-power MCU cores-not suitable for 2A loads like SSDs or Wi-Fi radios. | Select only for sub-300mA applications where ultra-small size and higher frequency outweigh current needs. |
| Analog Devices ADP2302AUJZ-2.5-R7 | 2.5V fixed, 2A, 40μA IQ, 600kHz, TSOT-23-6 | Higher IQ increases standby power; lower 600kHz frequency requires larger inductors and may conflict with noise-sensitive analog sections. | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency and EMI constraints; verify thermal performance with θJA = 210°C/W. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and ADP2302AUJZ-2.5-R7, MP2152GQFU-25-Z uniquely balances 2A capability, 25μA IQ, and 1.1MHz operation in a thermally optimized UTQFN package-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive 2.5V systems requiring both high current and long shelf life.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of MP2152GQFU-25-Z over temperature?
The MP2152GQFU-25-Z delivers 2.5V output with ±0.5% initial accuracy at 25°C and ±0.75% total variation across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature, based on guaranteed electrical characteristics in the datasheet (page 5, VO parameter for MP2152XXX-25).
Does MP2152GQFU-25-Z require an external feedback resistor divider?
No. MP2152GQFU-25-Z is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor network set to 2.5V; the FB pin is not connected externally. Only adjustable versions (e.g., MP2152GQFU) require external R1/R2 dividers.
How does the output discharge function operate during EN deactivation?
When EN is pulled low or left floating, the MP2152GQFU-25-Z automatically activates an internal 200Ω discharge path between OUT and GND, discharging a 22µF output capacitor from 2.5V to <100mV in approximately 1.1ms-verified in typical performance waveforms (page 11).
Can MP2152GQFU-25-Z operate at 100% duty cycle, and under what conditions?
Yes. The MP2152GQFU-25-Z supports 100% duty cycle operation when VIN drops to ≤2.5V + diode drop (e.g., ~2.6V), enabling regulation down to battery end-of-life in single-cell Li-ion systems-explicitly stated in the FEATURES section and confirmed in absolute maximum ratings.
What is the recommended inductor DCR limit for optimal efficiency at 2A load?
MPS specifies inductor DC resistance ≤50mΩ for optimal efficiency. At 2A, this limits I²R loss to ≤200mW, preserving >88% efficiency at 5V input/2.5V output-per the efficiency vs. load curve on page 2 and application guidelines on page 18.
Is the PG pin functional on MP2152GQFU-25-Z, and what pull-up value is specified?
Yes. MP2152GQFU-25-Z includes a functional open-drain PG pin. MPS recommends an external pull-up resistor of 100–500kΩ to VIN; the internal MOSFET has RDS(ON) <400Ω, ensuring reliable logic-level signaling when VOUT is within ±10%/+15% of 2.5V (page 17).
What thermal derating applies to the 2A output current rating in the UTQFN package?
At TA = +85°C, the MP2152GQFU-25-Z sustains full 2A output due to its low θJA = 65°C/W (measured on EV2152-QFU-00A demo board). Derating begins above 85°C ambient, with maximum output current dropping to ~1.5A at 105°C ambient per the "Output Current Derating vs. Ambient Temperature" graph (page 9).
