Product details
Overview
MP2152GTF-12-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a fixed-output 1.2V, 2A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in SOT563 package, featuring 25μA quiescent current, 1.1MHz switching frequency, and integrated 75mΩ/45mΩ power MOSFETs. It delivers stable low-voltage power for battery-powered microcontrollers and portable I/O rails with output discharge and over-voltage protection.
For engineers reviewing the MP2152GTF-12-P datasheet, MP2152GTF-12-P pinout, MP2152GTF-12-P application, or MP2152GTF-12-P equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.2V fixed output accuracy (±1%), 25μA IQ at light load, EN-controlled sequencing, thermal shutdown at 160°C, and compatibility with compact 1µH inductors and 22µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The MP2152GTF-12-P uses constant-on-time (COT) control with input voltage feed-forward to maintain stable 1.1MHz switching across 2.5–5.5V 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 management includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting (2.8A peak), hiccup-mode short-circuit protection, VOUT OVP (115% of 1.2V = 1.38V), and absolute VIN OVP (6.1V). The fixed 1.2V version integrates a power-good (PG) open-drain output with ±10%/+15% regulation window and 150μs delay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2V ±1% (1188–1212mV at 25°C); enables precise core logic rail regulation without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous; supports single-chip power for ARM Cortex-M4/M7 MCUs or dual-core SoCs in space-constrained designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 30–35μA (typical); sustains >100-hour battery life in always-on sensor nodes with 200mAh Li-ion cells. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.1MHz nominal; allows use of 1–2.2μH shielded inductors under 2mm² footprint, minimizing EMI filter area. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB 5V, and 3.3V system rails. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C with 30°C hysteresis; prevents latch-up during sustained 2A loads on 2-layer PCBs with minimal copper pour. |
| Power Good Accuracy | ±10% rising / +15% falling threshold relative to 1.2V; ensures reliable processor reset assertion before full rail stabilization. |
Pinout & Package
SOT563 (1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm) thermally enhanced package with exposed pad for improved heat dissipation; 6-pin layout optimized for high-density portable PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for high-frequency switch node current; must connect directly to thermal pad and low-impedance ground plane. |
| 2 SW | Switching node | Drain of internal high-side P-MOSFET; connects to inductor; carries full AC ripple current-requires shortest possible trace. |
| 3 VIN | Input supply | 2.5–5.5V unregulated input; requires local 10μF X5R ceramic capacitor within 2mm of pin to suppress switching noise. |
| 4 EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input (1.2V threshold); internal 1MΩ pulldown enables default disable; controls power sequencing with 150μs turn-on delay. |
| 5 - | Not connected (NC) | No internal connection; left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice to reduce parasitic coupling. |
| 6 PG | Power good indicator | Open-drain output requiring external 100–500kΩ pull-up to VIN; asserts high when VOUT is within ±10%/+15% of 1.2V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Output discharge | Internal 200Ω discharge FET activates automatically during shutdown, discharging VOUT to <100mV in <1ms-prevents back-powering of upstream circuits. |
| VOUT over-voltage protection | Dynamically clamps output by turning on low-side FET until FB falls below 105% of 1.2V; prevents damage to 1.2V I/O peripherals during transient faults. |
| Constant-on-time control | Delivers <10μs load transient response (0–2A step) with no external compensation-reduces design cycle time for portable applications. |
| Ultra-low IQ sleep mode | Reduces operating current to 25–35μA at light loads (<10mA), extending battery runtime in BLE/Wi-Fi IoT endpoints without sacrificing startup speed. |
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Enables dropout as low as 120mV (at 2A), allowing direct regulation from 1.32V input-critical for aging battery operation in wearables. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62260DRVR | 1.2V fixed, 2A, 2.25MHz switching, 17μA IQ, WSON-6 package (2mm × 2mm) | Higher frequency enables smaller inductors but increases EMI sensitivity; lacks output discharge. | Select when board space permits larger inductor footprint and output discharge is not required for system safety. |
| RT7297BZSP | 1.2V fixed, 2A, 1.5MHz, 35μA IQ, TSOT23-6 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm) | TSOT23-6 has higher θJA (170°C/W vs. SOT563's 80°C/W); no PG output or VOUT OVP. | Choose only for cost-sensitive consumer applications where thermal derating and fault protection are secondary. |
Compared with TPS62260DRVR and RT7297BZSP, the MP2152GTF-12-P uniquely combines ultra-low IQ (30–35μA), integrated output discharge, and PG signaling in the smallest footprint (1.6mm²), making it optimal for battery longevity and functional safety in portable medical and industrial edge devices.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for MP2152GTF-12-P?
A minimum 10μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of the VIN and GND pins is required. Use parallel 1μF + 10μF for optimal high-frequency noise suppression. Avoid tantalum or electrolytic types due to ESR-related instability under COT control.
Does MP2152GTF-12-P support adjustable output voltage?
No. MP2152GTF-12-P is factory-trimmed for fixed 1.2V output. For adjustable versions, use MP2152GTF (with FB pin) or MP2152GQFU-12 in UTQFN package. The -12 suffix denotes laser-trimmed internal resistor divider; no external feedback is possible.
How does the power-good (PG) signal behave during startup?
PG remains low until VOUT reaches 90% of 1.2V (1.08V), then asserts high after 150μs delay. It stays high while VOUT remains between 1.08V and 1.38V; drops low if VOUT falls below 1.02V (85% of 1.2V) or exceeds 1.38V (115%).
Can MP2152GTF-12-P operate with 100% duty cycle?
Yes. The device supports 100% duty cycle down to VIN – VOUT = 120mV at 2A, enabling regulation from as low as 1.32V input. This is critical for maintaining operation during deep battery discharge in portable equipment.
What thermal derating applies to the SOT563 package at 60°C ambient?
At TA = 60°C, maximum continuous output current is ~1.6A (derated from 2A at 25°C) based on θJA = 80°C/W and TJ(MAX) = 125°C. Add 20mm² copper pour under thermal pad to improve heat dissipation by ~15%.
Is output discharge active during EN-driven shutdown?
Yes. Output discharge engages automatically whenever EN is pulled low or floats, regardless of VIN state. The internal 200Ω FET discharges VOUT to <100mV within 1ms, preventing back-powering of upstream circuitry or latch-up in multi-rail systems.
What inductor DCR limit ensures >90% efficiency at 2A?
Inductor DCR must be ≤27mΩ to maintain >90% efficiency at 2A and 5V input (per typical efficiency curves). Use shielded metal-alloy or multilayer chip inductors rated for ≥3A saturation current to avoid core saturation during peak transients.
