Product details
Overview
MP2182GTL-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated 80mΩ P-channel and 40mΩ N-channel MOSFETs, delivering up to 2A continuous output current from a 2.5V–5.5V input while regulating output down to 0.6V. It employs constant-on-time (COT) control for fast transient response and includes power good (PG), external soft-start (SS), and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection - deployed in portable instrumentation and battery-powered I/O rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the MP2182GTL-P datasheet, MP2182GTL-P pinout, MP2182GTL-P application, or MP2182GTL-P equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.2MHz switching frequency, 21μA quiescent current, 1% FB voltage accuracy, 100% duty cycle capability, and SOT583 package footprint compatibility with space-constrained mobile and wireless power designs.
Technical Context
The MP2182GTL-P uses input-voltage feed-forward COT control to maintain stable 1.2MHz switching across its 2.5V–5.5V input range while enabling sub-100ns minimum on/off times. Its AAM (Advanced Asynchronous Modulation) mode with ZCD detection ensures DCM operation at light load, reducing quiescent current to 21μA without compromising regulation.
Fault management integrates cycle-by-cycle current limiting (3.5A high-side peak), VO OVP (115% VFB threshold), thermal shutdown at 160°C, and automatic output discharge during disable - all coordinated via an internal bias generator and sleep-mode logic that scales gate drive and comparator currents under low-load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB, and wide-input portable power rails. |
| Output Current | 2A continuous - sufficient for powering DSP cores, RF transceivers, or multi-rail PMIC subsystems. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.2MHz - enables compact 1µH inductors and reduces EMI filtering burden in dense PCB layouts. |
| Quiescent Current | 21μA - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and standby modes of portable instruments. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1% at 25°C - ensures tight output regulation for low-voltage I/O domains (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V, 3.3V). |
| Power Good Threshold | 90% VFB rising / 85% VFB falling - provides clean, hysteresis-controlled system reset signaling. |
| MOSFET RDS(ON) | 80mΩ (HS) / 40mΩ (LS) - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise at full 2A load. |
Pinout & Package
The MP2182GTL-P is housed in an ultra-small 1.6mm × 2.1mm SOT583 package with 0.4mm pitch and exposed thermal pad (pin 4 GND). Its 8-pin configuration supports minimal external component count and high-density layout in handheld and wearable applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 PG | Open-drain power good indicator | Signals valid regulation via external pull-up; sinks ≤0.4V @ 1mA for MCU reset assertion. |
| 2 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V unregulated source; requires local 10µF ceramic decoupling. |
| 3 SW | Switch node | Drain of internal P-MOSFET; connects directly to inductor; high dv/dt node requiring tight routing. |
| 4 GND | Power and signal ground | Thermal pad connection point; must be solidly tied to PCB ground plane for thermal and noise control. |
| 5 EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input (1.2V threshold); internal 2MΩ pulldown enables default disable. |
| 6 SS | Soft-start timing | Charged by 3µA internal current; capacitor value sets controlled VOUT ramp rate to prevent inrush. |
| 7 OUT | Output power rail | Delivers regulated voltage to load; also serves as output sense return path for discharge FET. |
| 8 FB | Feedback reference | Senses resistor divider ratio; 600mV nominal reference enables precise VOUT programming from 0.6V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-On-Time (COT) Control | Enables <10µs load transient recovery without external compensation components. |
| External Soft-Start (SS) | Capacitor-programmable startup slew rate prevents overshoot and inrush into large output caps. |
| Output Discharge Function | Internal FET actively discharges VOUT when disabled - eliminates hold-up voltage in sequencing systems. |
| Hiccup-Mode Short-Circuit Protection | Shuts down, discharges SS cap, then retries - protects against sustained shorts without thermal runaway. |
| 100% Duty Cycle Capability | Allows VOUT ≈ VIN operation - critical for low-dropout scenarios like USB-to-3.3V conversion. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RT6220AGQW | Fixed 3.3V output; no adjustable FB; 1.5A rating; QFN-10 package | Lacks programmability and 2A capability - suitable only for fixed-rail, lower-current use cases | Select only if output voltage is fixed and load ≤1.5A; no soft-start or PG pin. |
| TPS6286518RTER | 1.8V fixed output; 4A rating; 2.5V–5.5V input; 2.5MHz fSW; WSON-10 | Higher current and frequency but no external SS or PG; optimized for ultra-thin devices | Prefer for higher-power, space-constrained apps where fixed 1.8V suffices and PG signaling is unnecessary. |

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended output capacitor for stable operation?
A 22µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor is recommended for most applications, especially at 1.2V output. The device's COT architecture benefits from low-ESR ceramics to maintain loop stability; using less than 10µF may cause ringing or poor transient response under 2A load steps.
Does MP2182GTL-P support forced PWM mode, or is it strictly auto-mode?
The MP2182GTL-P operates exclusively in automatic mode - combining CCM, DCM (via AAM + ZCD), and sleep mode based on load. It does not offer a forced PWM pin or register control; modulation is fully autonomous to optimize efficiency across 10µA–2A loads.
How is power good (PG) asserted, and what external components are required?
PG is an open-drain output requiring an external pull-up resistor (100kΩ–500kΩ) to VIN or VOUT. It asserts high when FB reaches ≥90% of target voltage and deasserts low at ≤85%; internal RDS(ON) is <400Ω, supporting 1mA sink capability for direct MCU interrupt or reset input.
Can MP2182GTL-P operate with input voltage below 2.5V?
No - the absolute minimum operating input is 2.5V per datasheet specifications. Below this, UVLO disables the part. The under-voltage lockout rising threshold is 2.45V typical, with 200mV hysteresis, preventing erratic startup near brown-out conditions.
What thermal derating applies above 25°C ambient?
With θJA = 58°C/W on a 2-layer EVB, maximum continuous power dissipation drops linearly: at 60°C ambient, PDMAX = (150°C − 60°C) / 58°C/W ≈ 1.55W. At 2A load and 3.6V input, typical power loss is ~0.35W - well within derated limits up to 105°C ambient.
Is the SOT583 package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes - MP2182GTL-P is fully RoHS-compliant and lead-free per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. MPS confirms green status on its official quality assurance portal, with JEDEC-standard MSL-3 moisture sensitivity and 260°C reflow profile compatibility.
