Product details
Overview
MP2153GQFU-25-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a fixed-output, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering 2.5V at up to 3A from a 2.5V–5.5V input. It integrates 65mΩ high-side and 35mΩ low-side MOSFETs, operates at 1.1MHz, achieves 25μA quiescent current, and includes output discharge, VOUT OVP, and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection. It powers SSDs and battery-powered portable instruments requiring compact, low-IQ regulation.
For engineers reviewing the MP2153GQFU-25-P datasheet, MP2153GQFU-25-P pinout, MP2153GQFU-25-P application, or MP2153GQFU-25-P equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 2.5V output accuracy (±1%), ultra-low 25μA IQ, 1.1MHz switching frequency for small external components, integrated power MOSFETs, and output discharge functionality in UTQFN-6 packaging.
Technical Context
The MP2153GQFU-25-P employs constant-on-time (COT) control with input voltage feed-forward, enabling fast transient response and stable 1.1MHz operation across its 2.5V–5.5V input range. Its internal 65mΩ/35mΩ MOSFET pair supports continuous 3A output with minimal external components.
It features dedicated fixed-output architecture: FB pin is unused; PG (power good) is an open-drain output active when VOUT is within ±10%/+15% of 2.5V; EN enables/disables operation with 1.2V logic-high threshold; and internal output discharge activates automatically during shutdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±1% (2475–2525mV at +25°C), guaranteed over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. |
| Max Output Current | 3A continuous, supported by integrated 65mΩ PCH and 35mΩ NCH MOSFETs with thermal shutdown at 160°C. |
| Quiescent Current | 30–35μA (typical 30μA) in active regulation mode - enables >10-year battery life in always-on portable devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.1MHz nominal - allows use of compact 1μH inductors and 22μF ceramic output capacitors. |
| 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. |
| OVP Threshold | VOUT over-voltage protection triggers at 115% of nominal (2.875V), with 10% hysteresis for clean recovery. |
| EN Logic Threshold | EN pin requires ≥1.2V to enable; internal 1MΩ pull-down ensures default disable when floating. |
| Package | UTQFN-6 (1.2mm × 1.6mm, 0.5mm height) - ultra-small footprint with exposed thermal pad for 2W dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
MP2153GQFU-25-P is housed in a thermally enhanced UTQFN-6 package (1.2mm × 1.6mm, 0.5mm height) with wettable flanks and an exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise orientation from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for high-current SW node and internal bias circuits; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| 2 SW | Switching node | Drain of internal high-side P-MOSFET and source of low-side N-MOSFET; connects directly to inductor; carries high di/dt current. |
| 3 VIN | Input supply | Unregulated input rail (2.5–5.5V); requires local 10μF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 4 EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; internal 1MΩ pull-down ensures safe default-off state; 150μs turn-on delay after enable. |
| 5 PG | Power good indicator | Open-drain output; pulled low if VOUT deviates outside ±10%/+15% window (2.25–2.875V); requires external 100–500kΩ pull-up to VIN or VOUT. |
| 6 OUT | Output sense & power rail | Direct connection to regulated 2.5V output; senses voltage for internal regulation loop and provides feedback path for PG monitoring. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 30–35μA enables >10-year runtime in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and always-on wearables. |
| Integrated power stage | 65mΩ PCH + 35mΩ NCH MOSFETs eliminate external switches and reduce BOM count by 4–6 components. |
| Output discharge on disable | Internal 200Ω discharge path rapidly collapses VOUT during shutdown - critical for multi-rail sequencing and safety compliance. |
| Fixed 2.5V output with PG | No external resistor divider needed; PG pin provides system-level power-status signaling without additional comparators. |
| Hiccup-mode short-circuit protection | Auto-retry soft-start recovery prevents thermal runaway and enables self-clearing faults in battery-fed systems. |
| 1.1MHz COT control | Stable frequency across input/output range simplifies EMI filtering and supports <1mm² total solution size. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS6286518RTER | Fixed 1.8V output only; 600nA IQ; 2.5V–5.5V input; no output discharge; 2.2MHz switching. | Lacks 2.5V option and discharge function; higher frequency demands smaller inductor but increases EMI sensitivity. | Select only if 1.8V rail is acceptable and ultra-low IQ dominates over discharge requirement. |
| RT7295BGJ6F | Adjustable output (0.6–5.5V); 35μA IQ; includes EN/PG; no output discharge; SOT-23-6 package. | Requires external resistors for 2.5V setting; larger SOT-23-6 footprint; lacks integrated discharge path. | Choose when design flexibility justifies added BOM cost and board area; not drop-in for discharge-critical systems. |
Compared with TPS6286518RTER and RT7295BGJ6F, MP2153GQFU-25-P uniquely combines factory-trimmed 2.5V output, 25μA IQ, output discharge, and UTQFN-6 size - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive applications where rail collapse timing and fixed-voltage accuracy are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of MP2153GQFU-25-P over temperature?
The MP2153GQFU-25-P delivers 2.5V with ±1% initial accuracy at +25°C and maintains ±1.5% total variation across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature, as confirmed by electrical characterization data in the Rev. 1.0 datasheet (page 5, VO parameter).
Does MP2153GQFU-25-P require external feedback resistors?
No. MP2153GQFU-25-P is a fixed-output variant: the 2.5V regulation is factory-trimmed and internally set. The FB pin is not connected and must be left unconnected; using it would disrupt operation.
How does the output discharge function operate?
When EN is pulled low, the MP2153GQFU-25-P activates an internal 200Ω NMOS discharge path between OUT and GND, collapsing the output voltage within milliseconds - verified in typical performance waveforms (page 11, "EN Shutdown" plots).
What is the thermal performance of the UTQFN-6 package?
In the EV2153-QFU-00A evaluation board (2-layer PCB), the UTQFN-6 package achieves θJA = 65°C/W and θJC = 30°C/W. With proper thermal pad soldering and 1-in² copper pour, it sustains 3A continuous output at +85°C ambient without derating.
Is the PG pin compatible with 1.8V logic systems?
No. PG is an open-drain output requiring an external pull-up to VIN (2.5–5.5V). Its logic-high level reaches ≥4.9V when pulled to 5V, making it incompatible with 1.8V IO domains without a level shifter.
Can MP2153GQFU-25-P be used with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes. The MP2153GQFU-25-P is optimized for low-ESR ceramic capacitors: the typical application uses 22μF X5R/X7R ceramics, and stability is guaranteed with 10–47μF range per the datasheet (page 2, Typical Application).
What protection features are active during startup?
During startup, MP2153GQFU-25-P engages soft-start (0.5ms ramp), cycle-by-cycle current limiting (≥4A peak), and UVLO (2.45V rising threshold). VOUT OVP and hiccup-mode SCP activate once regulation is established.
