Product details
Overview
MP2153GTF-25-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a fixed-output, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering 3A continuous output at 2.5V with 25μA quiescent current, 1.1MHz switching frequency, and integrated 65mΩ/35mΩ MOSFETs in SOT563 package. It operates from 2.5V–5.5V input and supports output discharge, OVP, and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection - deployed in battery-powered SSDs and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MP2153GTF-25-Z datasheet, MP2153GTF-25-Z pinout, MP2153GTF-25-Z application, or MP2153GTF-25-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 2.5V ±1% output accuracy, ultra-low IQ for standby power integrity, EN-controlled sequencing, thermal shutdown at 160°C, and compatibility with 1μH inductors and 22μF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The MP2153GTF-25-Z uses 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 and low-side N-channel MOSFETs (65mΩ/35mΩ) enable high-efficiency regulation down to 2.5V with minimal external components.
It integrates output discharge via an internal MOSFET when disabled, provides VOUT over-voltage protection triggered at 115% of nominal (2.875V), and enters hiccup-mode short-circuit protection with valley current limit of 3.5A and peak limit of 4A - all within a thermally optimized SOT563 package with θJA = 80°C/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±1% (2.475–2.525V) - ensures stable core rail for low-voltage logic without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 3A continuous - supports high-current peripherals in compact SSD and portable instrument designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 25μA - enables >1-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes and standby modes. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.1MHz - allows use of small 1μH inductors and reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB 5V, and regulated 3.3V supplies. |
| Internal MOSFET RDS(ON) | 65mΩ (HS) / 35mΩ (LS) - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise at full load. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C with 30°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
SOT563 (1.6mm × 1.6mm) package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement; 6-pin layout optimized for minimal board area and high-density routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for high-current SW node and IC bias; must connect to low-impedance ground plane. |
| SW | Switching node | Drain of internal high-side P-MOSFET; connects directly to inductor; carries high di/dt ripple current. |
| VIN | Input supply | Unregulated 2.5–5.5V source; requires local 10μF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin. |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input (1.2V threshold); floating or pulled low disables device and activates output discharge. |
| FB | Feedback (not used) | Not connected in fixed-output variants; internally tied to reference; leave unconnected per datasheet. |
| OUT | Output sense & power rail | Monitors regulated 2.5V output; connects to output capacitor and load; senses VOUT for OVP and PG functions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Output Discharge | Internal MOSFET discharges output capacitor on disable - eliminates residual voltage that could interfere with system reset or hot-swap sequencing. |
| VOUT Over-Voltage Protection | Triggers at 115% of 2.5V (2.875V); forces low-side FET on to sink current until recovery - protects downstream 2.5V logic from transient overvoltage events. |
| Constant-On-Time Control | Delivers <10μs load transient response with no external compensation - simplifies design for dynamic loads like SSD NAND flash bursts. |
| Hiccup-Mode Short-Circuit Protection | Shuts down power stage, discharges soft-start cap, then retries - prevents thermal runaway while enabling automatic recovery after fault removal. |
| 100% Duty Cycle Capability | Maintains regulation even as VIN approaches VOUT (e.g., 2.7V → 2.5V) - critical for brownout resilience in battery-fed systems. |

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; 2.5V–5.5V input; 3A; 17μA IQ; 2.25MHz switching | Higher frequency enables smaller inductors but increases switching loss above 2A | Select if 1.8V rail required and board space permits higher-frequency magnetics |
| RT7295BGJ8F | Fixed 2.5V output; 2.7V–5.5V input; 3A; 35μA IQ; 1.5MHz switching; no output discharge | Lacks integrated output discharge and has narrower VIN range | Choose only if output discharge is not needed and input stays ≥2.7V |

FAQ
What is the recommended inductor value and type for MP2153GTF-25-Z?
A 1μH shielded power inductor with 27mΩ DCR and 4.5A saturation current is specified in the datasheet. Shielded construction minimizes EMI coupling; saturation current must exceed 3.5A peak to avoid collapse during startup or transient load steps.
Does MP2153GTF-25-Z require external feedback resistors?
No. As a fixed-output variant, MP2153GTF-25-Z has internal feedback network set to 2.5V; the FB pin is unused and must be left unconnected. External resistors are only required for adjustable versions like MP2153GTF.
How does the output discharge function operate?
When EN is pulled low or left floating, an internal MOSFET connects OUT to GND through a ~200Ω path, discharging the output capacitor. This occurs automatically and ensures VOUT falls below 0.4V within 1ms for reliable system reset sequencing.
What thermal derating applies at elevated ambient temperatures?
At 85°C ambient, maximum continuous output current drops to ~2.2A (per Figure 9). Derating follows a linear slope from 3A at 25°C to 0A at 125°C junction temperature, constrained by θJA = 80°C/W and 1.5W max power dissipation in SOT563.
Is MP2153GTF-25-Z compatible with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes - the COT control architecture is optimized for low-ESR ceramic capacitors (e.g., 22μF X5R/X7R 0805). Aluminum or tantalum caps introduce instability due to higher ESR and are not supported per design validation.
What is the startup behavior when EN is asserted?
Upon EN rising above 1.2V, the device initiates a 0.5ms soft-start ramp on VOUT, limiting inrush current. Switching begins only after soft-start completes; no external soft-start capacitor is needed due to internal timing.
Does MP2153GTF-25-Z include power good (PG) indication?
No - PG is only available on fixed-output variants with "-Z" suffix in the part number (e.g., MP2153GTF-25-Z has no PG pin). The "-Z" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging, not functional enhancement; PG is exclusive to UTQFN-6 fixed versions like MP2153GQFU-25.
