Product details
Overview
MP2153GQFU-33-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a fixed-output 3.3V, 3A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in UTQFN-6 (1.2mm×1.6mm) package, featuring 25μA quiescent current, 1.1MHz switching frequency, and integrated 65mΩ/35mΩ MOSFETs. It delivers stable power to low-voltage subsystems in SSDs and portable instrumentation under 2.5V–5.5V input.
For engineers reviewing the MP2153GQFU-33-Z datasheet, MP2153GQFU-33-Z pinout, MP2153GQFU-33-Z application, or MP2153GQFU-33-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 3.3V output accuracy (±1%), output discharge capability, power-good signaling, thermal shutdown at 160°C, and compatibility with ultra-compact PCB layouts requiring <2.0mm² footprint.
Technical Context
The MP2153GQFU-33-Z 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-channel (65mΩ) and low-side N-channel (35mΩ) MOSFETs enable up to 3A continuous output with minimal external components.
It integrates output discharge via an internal MOSFET, provides open-drain power-good (PG) indication referenced to VIN, and implements hiccup-mode short-circuit protection with 4A peak high-side current limit and -1.5A valley low-side current sensing for robust fault recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1% (3251–3349mV over -40°C to +125°C), enabling direct replacement of LDOs in noise-sensitive digital rails. |
| Max Output Current | 3A continuous, supported by thermal resistance θJA = 65°C/W (UTQFN), allowing full load operation up to +85°C ambient with minimal heatsinking. |
| Quiescent Current | 30–35μA (typical), sustaining >100-hour battery life in always-on portable devices powered from single-cell Li-ion. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.1MHz nominal, enabling use of compact 1μH inductors and reducing EMI filter size without compromising transient response. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V, supporting direct regulation from USB VBUS, single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), or boosted 3.3V rails. |
| Power Good Threshold | PG asserts when VOUT reaches 90% (2.97V) and deasserts at 85% (2.805V), providing clean sequencing signal for FPGA or microcontroller reset logic. |
| Output Discharge Resistance | 200Ω internal path, discharging 22μF output cap from 3.3V to <0.5V in <15ms-critical for safe hot-swap and system-level power-down compliance. |
Pinout & Package
MP2153GQFU-33-Z uses the UTQFN-6 (1.2mm × 1.6mm, 0.4mm pitch) package with wettable flank leads for automated optical inspection. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or laser etch near the corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for high-frequency switch node current; must be connected to solid thermal pad for thermal performance and EMI control. |
| SW | Switching node | Drain of internal high-side P-MOSFET; connects directly to inductor; requires tight layout to minimize ringing and EMI. |
| VIN | Input supply | Unregulated 2.5–5.5V source; requires local 10μF ceramic decoupling placed within 2mm of this pin. |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input (1.2V threshold); floating or grounded disables device and activates output discharge. |
| PG | Power good indicator | Open-drain output requiring external 100–500kΩ pull-up to VIN; sinks ≤0.4V at 1mA for reliable logic-level detection. |
| OUT | Output sense & power rail | Direct connection to output capacitor; senses regulated 3.3V rail and supplies internal feedback reference for PG generation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 30–35μA enables >1-year shelf life in battery-backed IoT sensors without periodic wake-up drain. |
| Integrated power MOSFETs | 65mΩ high-side + 35mΩ low-side switches eliminate external FETs and gate drivers, reducing BOM count by ≥4 components. |
| Output discharge function | Internal 200Ω discharge path ensures rapid VOUT collapse during shutdown-required for PCIe-compliant hot-plug and safety-critical power sequencing. |
| Fixed 3.3V output with PG | No external resistor divider needed; PG pin provides deterministic power-rail monitoring for SoC boot validation and firmware-controlled power management. |
| Hiccup-mode short-circuit protection | Auto-retry soft-start after fault clears eliminates need for external reset circuitry in multi-rail systems with shared input sources. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS6286413RTER | 3.3V fixed, 4A, 1.8MHz, 15μA IQ, WSON-6 (1.5×1.5mm) | Higher switching frequency enables smaller inductors but increases EMI sensitivity in noisy printer environments. | Select when higher current headroom and lower IQ are critical; verify layout filtering for 1.8MHz harmonics near USB 2.0 lines. |
| Analog Devices ADP5302AUJZ-3.3-R7 | 3.3V fixed, 300mA, 3MHz, 2.5μA IQ, TSOT-23-6 | Lower current rating and no PG output-unsuitable for SSD or printer sensor rails requiring 3A and sequencing. | Only viable for ultra-low-power peripherals (e.g., Bluetooth LE sensors); not a functional substitute for MP2153GQFU-33-Z's 3A capability. |
Compared with TPS6286413RTER and ADP5302AUJZ-3.3-R7, MP2153GQFU-33-Z uniquely balances 3A output, 35μA IQ, PG signaling, and sub-2mm² UTQFN packaging-making it optimal for space-constrained, medium-current applications where reliability and sequencing integrity outweigh raw efficiency or ultra-low IQ.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for MP2153GQFU-33-Z?
A 10μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of the VIN and GND pins is required. This value ensures stable COT control loop operation and suppresses high-frequency input ripple generated by the 1.1MHz switching action. Use 0603 or 0805 case size with ≤10mΩ ESL for optimal performance.
Does MP2153GQFU-33-Z require an external feedback resistor divider?
No. MP2153GQFU-33-Z is a fixed-output variant with internal feedback network set to 3.3V. The FB pin is not connected externally-unlike adjustable versions (e.g., MP2153GQFU). Using external resistors will disrupt regulation and void output accuracy guarantees.
How does the output discharge function operate during shutdown?
When EN is pulled low or left floating, the internal discharge MOSFET activates automatically, connecting OUT to GND through a 200Ω path. This discharges a 22μF output capacitor from 3.3V to <0.5V in under 15ms, meeting IEC 62368-1 safe discharge requirements for user-accessible terminals.
Can MP2153GQFU-33-Z be used with a 1.5μH inductor?
Yes, but with trade-offs. The datasheet specifies 1μH for optimal efficiency and transient response. A 1.5μH inductor reduces peak inductor current and RMS losses but increases output voltage ripple by ~25% and slows load-step recovery by ~30%, which may affect SSD controller timing margins.
What is the maximum allowable PCB temperature rise at 3A output?
At 3A continuous load and TA = +85°C, junction temperature reaches 125°C (TJ = TA + PD × θJA). With 65°C/W thermal resistance and ~0.3W dissipation, case temperature rise is ≤20°C above ambient-well within the 150°C absolute max junction rating and compatible with standard FR-4 PCBs using 2oz copper and thermal vias under the exposed pad.
Is the PG pin compatible with 1.8V logic systems?
No. PG is an open-drain output referenced to VIN (2.5–5.5V), requiring an external pull-up to VIN-not to 1.8V. Connecting the pull-up to 1.8V violates the absolute maximum rating for PG pin voltage and risks latch-up. For 1.8V logic interfacing, use a level-shifter or dedicated voltage detector.
Does MP2153GQFU-33-Z support forced PWM mode?
No. MP2153GQFU-33-Z operates exclusively in COT mode with automatic transition between continuous conduction mode (CCM), discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), and advanced asynchronous modulation (AAM) at light loads. There is no pin or register to force fixed-frequency PWM operation.
