Product details
Overview
MP2153DGTF-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a synchronous step-down DC/DC converter IC with integrated 65mΩ high-side and 35mΩ low-side MOSFETs, delivering up to 3A continuous output current across a 2.5V–5.5V input range while regulating output down to 0.6V. It employs constant-on-time (COT) control for fast transient response and features fast output discharge, 1% FB accuracy, and 25μA quiescent current - optimized for SSD power rails and portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MP2153DGTF-Z datasheet, MP2153DGTF-Z pinout, MP2153DGTF-Z application, or MP2153DGTF-Z equivalent, key selection considerations include its SOT563 package footprint, 1.1MHz switching frequency, EN-controlled power sequencing, thermal shutdown at 160°C, and compatibility with standard 1μH shielded inductors and 22μF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The MP2153DGTF-Z uses constant-on-time (COT) control with VIN feed-forward to maintain stable 1.1MHz switching frequency across input voltages from 2.5V to 5.5V and output voltages as low as 0.6V. Its internal power stage integrates complementary P-channel HS-FET (65mΩ) and N-channel LS-FET (35mΩ), enabling high-efficiency synchronous rectification without external drivers.
It implements advanced light-load management via sleep mode and advanced asynchronous modulation (AAM), reducing quiescent current to 25μA while maintaining regulation. Protection logic includes cycle-by-cycle OCP (6A peak), hiccup-mode SCP, output OVP (115% of VFB), and thermal shutdown with 30°C hysteresis - all verified over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB, and 3.3V/5V rail inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 3A continuous - sustains full load at 1.2V output with <30°C case rise on 2-layer PCB per EVL2153D-TF-00A. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.1MHz - enables compact 1μH inductor and 22μF ceramic capacitor designs; fixed fSW minimizes EMI filtering complexity. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1% - ensures tight output regulation (e.g., ±12mV at 1.2V), critical for core voltage stability in SSD controllers. |
| Quiescent Current | 25μA - extends battery runtime in standby mode for portable instruments and always-on peripherals. |
| Output Discharge | 13Ω internal resistor - actively discharges VOUT within milliseconds after EN deactivation, preventing back-powering. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C with 30°C hysteresis - protects die during sustained overload or poor heatsinking; recovers autonomously after cooldown. |
Pinout & Package
SOT563 (1.6mm × 1.6mm, 0.5mm pitch) package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = SW, Pin 3 = VIN, Pin 4 = EN, Pin 5 = FB, Pin 6 = OUT. All pins are surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for HS-FET, LS-FET, and control circuitry; must connect to low-impedance ground plane. |
| 2 SW | Switching node | Drain of internal P-channel HS-FET; connects directly to inductor; requires short, low-inductance trace to minimize ringing. |
| 3 VIN | Input supply | Unregulated 2.5V–5.5V source; requires local 22μF X5R/X7R ceramic decoupling within 3mm of pin. |
| 4 EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input (1.2V threshold); internal 1MΩ pulldown enables default-off behavior for safe power-up sequencing. |
| 5 FB | Feedback sense | Resistor-divider tap point; regulates VOUT to 0.6V reference with ±1% accuracy; high-impedance (≤100nA bias). |
| 6 OUT | Output power rail | Voltage sense and power delivery terminal; connects to output capacitor and load; used for output discharge path activation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-on-time (COT) control | Enables <10μs load transient recovery without external compensation components; eliminates loop-stability tuning. |
| Integrated MOSFETs | 65mΩ HS-FET + 35mΩ LS-FET - achieves >90% efficiency at 3A/1.2V (VIN=5V), eliminating gate driver design effort. |
| Fast output discharge | 13Ω internal NMOS - discharges 22μF output cap from 1.2V to <100mV in <5ms, preventing backfeed into powered-down subsystems. |
| Light-load AAM mode | Reduces switching frequency and gate drive losses below 300mA load, maintaining >85% efficiency at 10mA output. |
| Hiccup-mode short-circuit protection | Disables switching, discharges soft-start cap, then retries - limits average power dissipation during sustained fault to <0.5W. |

FAQ
What is the minimum output voltage supported by MP2153DGTF-Z?
The MP2153DGTF-Z regulates output down to 0.6V using an external resistor divider on the FB pin. This 0.6V internal reference enables precise generation of common core voltages such as 1.2V (via 200kΩ/200kΩ divider) and 1.8V (200kΩ/100kΩ), with ±1% feedback accuracy ensuring tight tolerance across temperature and load.
Does MP2153DGTF-Z require an external bootstrap capacitor?
No. The MP2153DGTF-Z uses a P-channel high-side MOSFET, eliminating the need for a bootstrap capacitor or floating gate driver. This simplifies layout, reduces component count, and improves reliability in high-density designs where boot capacitor placement is challenging.
How does the fast output discharge function operate?
When EN is pulled low or VIN drops below UVLO, the MP2153DGTF-Z activates an internal 13Ω NMOS between OUT and GND. This discharges a 22μF output capacitor from 1.2V to <100mV in under 5ms, preventing back-powering of upstream circuitry and ensuring safe hot-swap behavior in SSD and modular systems.
Can MP2153DGTF-Z operate with 100% duty cycle?
Yes. The MP2153DGTF-Z supports 100% duty cycle operation when VIN approaches VOUT, enabling dropout operation without forced discontinuous conduction. This is critical for maintaining regulation during brown-out conditions in battery-powered systems where input voltage sags near the output level.
What thermal performance can be expected in SOT563 package?
In the SOT563 package on a 2-layer PCB (EVL2153D-TF-00A), the MP2153DGTF-Z achieves θJA = 80°C/W and θJC = 50°C/W. At 3A/1.2V with VIN=5V, typical case temperature rise is <30°C - sufficient for fanless operation in sealed portable enclosures without additional heatsinking.
Is the EN pin internally pulled down?
Yes. An internal 1MΩ resistor connects EN to GND, ensuring the device remains off during power-up until a valid enable signal (>1.2V) is applied. This eliminates the need for an external pull-down resistor and guarantees safe default state in systems with uncontrolled EN routing.
Which inductor series is validated for use with MP2153DGTF-Z?
MPS's MPL-AL4020-1R0 (1μH, 10.1mΩ DCR) is the recommended and fully validated inductor. It delivers optimal efficiency and thermal performance across the 0.1A–3A load range and meets EMI requirements when used with the MP2153DGTF-Z's 1.1MHz switching frequency.
