Product details
Overview
MP2183GTL-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated 65mΩ P-channel and 35mΩ N-channel MOSFETs, delivering up to 3A continuous output current from a 2.5V–5.5V input while regulating output down to 0.6V. It features constant-on-time control for fast transient response, 1.2MHz switching frequency, power-good (PG) open-drain indicator, and external soft-start (SS) control - deployed in portable instrumentation, battery-powered devices, and low-voltage I/O power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MP2183GTL-Z datasheet, MP2183GTL-Z pinout, MP2183GTL-Z application, or MP2183GTL-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT583 ultra-small package, 21μA quiescent current, 1% FB voltage accuracy, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and thermal shutdown with 160°C trip point - all critical for space-constrained, high-efficiency, and thermally sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The MP2183GTL-Z employs constant-on-time (COT) control with input-voltage feed-forward to maintain stable 1.2MHz switching across its 2.5V–5.5V input range, enabling rapid load transient response without complex loop compensation. Its internal power stage integrates complementary PCH/NCH MOSFETs with RDS(ON) of 65mΩ/35mΩ, supporting 100% duty-cycle operation for minimum dropout.
It implements AAM (Advanced Asynchronous Modulation) and ZCD (Zero-Current Detection) to sustain DCM operation at light loads, reducing quiescent current to 21μA. Fault protection includes hiccup-mode short-circuit response, VO overvoltage protection (115% VFB threshold), and thermal shutdown with 30°C hysteresis.
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 | Up to 3A continuous - sufficient for powering core logic, RF modules, or multi-rail PMIC subsystems. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1% at 25°C (594–606mV) - ensures tight output regulation critical for low-voltage digital ICs (e.g., 1.2V FPGA cores). |
| Quiescent Current | 21μA - enables >10-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes or IoT endpoints. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.2MHz - allows use of compact 1μH shielded inductors and reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| Power Good Threshold | 90% VFB rising / 85% VFB falling - provides clean, glitch-free system power sequencing with 80μs delay. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C with 30°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
SOT583 is an 8-pin, 1.6mm × 2.1mm ultra-compact, thermally enhanced package with exposed pad for improved heat dissipation. Pin 1 is marked by beveled corner; top marking "BEZ" identifies MP2183GTL.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 PG | Open-drain power-good indicator | Signals regulated output (VFB ≥ 90%) to host MCU; requires external 100kΩ–500kΩ pull-up to VOUT or VIN. |
| 2 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V unregulated input; decoupling capacitor must be placed adjacent to minimize high-frequency noise coupling. |
| 3 SW | Switching node | Drain of internal high-side P-MOSFET; connects directly to inductor; high dv/dt node requiring minimal trace area and distance from sensitive signals. |
| 4 GND | Power and signal ground | Primary return path for input/output currents and internal bias; must connect to thermal pad and external ground plane via multiple vias. |
| 5 EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input (1.2V threshold); internal 2MΩ pulldown allows default disable; controls startup sequencing and standby mode. |
| 6 SS | Soft-start timing | Connects to external capacitor (e.g., 2.2nF → ~6.6μs ramp); sets controlled VOUT slew rate to prevent inrush and overshoot. |
| 7 OUT | Output power rail & sense | Delivers regulated output; also serves as local sense point for output discharge MOSFET when EN = low. |
| 8 FB | Feedback voltage input | Monitors resistor divider (R1/R2) from VOUT to GND; 600mV reference enables precise output setting (e.g., 1.2V = R1/R2 = 1). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 21μA in active regulation - extends battery runtime in always-on wearable and remote sensor applications. |
| Integrated dual MOSFETs | 65mΩ PCH + 35mΩ NCH - eliminates external FETs and gate drivers, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| External soft-start control | SS pin accepts capacitor to program start-up time - prevents input voltage sag and output overshoot during cold boot. |
| Output discharge function | Internal 150Ω discharge path activates automatically when EN = low - ensures safe, rapid VOUT decay for system reset or power cycling. |
| Power-good with hysteresis | 80μs delay, 5% hysteresis window - delivers reliable, noise-immune sequencing signal to processors and FPGAs. |
| Hiccup-mode short-circuit protection | Auto-retry soft-start after fault clearance - maintains system availability without manual reset in intermittent fault conditions. |

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 | 3A, 2.5V–5.5V input, 1.5MHz, 25μA IQ, no PG or SS pins | Lacks power-good and soft-start - requires external circuitry for sequencing and inrush control | Choose when board space permits discrete PG/SS implementation and higher switching frequency is preferred. |
| TPS6286413ARQYR | 3A, 2.7V–5.5V input, 2.25MHz, 18μA IQ, integrated PG but no SS pin | Higher minimum input voltage excludes 2.5V sources; fixed 1.3V VOUT unless reprogrammed via I²C | Prefer when using TI ecosystem tools and need higher frequency; avoid if 2.5V input or analog SS tuning is required. |
Compared with RT6220AGQW and TPS6286413ARQYR, the MP2183GTL-Z uniquely combines PG, SS, 2.5V minimum input, and 1.2MHz operation in SOT583 - making it optimal for compact, self-contained, and sequenced power systems where external components must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage supported by MP2183GTL-Z?
The MP2183GTL-Z operates down to 2.5V input, verified per absolute maximum ratings and electrical characteristics tables. Below this, UVLO disables the device; the rising threshold is 2.45V typical with 200mV hysteresis, ensuring reliable startup from single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V LDO outputs.
Does MP2183GTL-Z require an external bootstrap capacitor?
No. The MP2183GTL-Z uses an internal charge pump to drive the high-side P-channel MOSFET gate, eliminating the need for an external bootstrap capacitor or diode - simplifying layout and reducing component count compared to N-channel high-side solutions.
How does the output discharge function operate?
When EN is pulled low, the MP2183GTL-Z activates an internal 150Ω NMOS between OUT and GND, discharging the output capacitor. This occurs automatically without external circuitry and ensures VOUT falls rapidly (<1ms for 100μF), meeting safe power-down requirements in multi-rail systems.
Can MP2183GTL-Z be used in 100% duty-cycle applications?
Yes. The MP2183GTL-Z supports true 100% duty-cycle operation, allowing VOUT to approach VIN (e.g., 3.3V input → 3.3V output). This is enabled by its P-channel high-side switch architecture and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Maximum duty cycle".
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SOT583 package under standard conditions?
On a 2-layer JEDEC board (EV2183-TL-00A), θJA is 58°C/W. On a 4-layer JESD51-7 board, it is 120°C/W. These values are measured per industry standards and reflect real-world PCB thermal performance - critical for calculating junction temperature rise under 3A load.
Is the PG pin compatible with 1.8V logic systems?
Yes. The PG pin is open-drain and can be pulled up to any voltage ≤ VIN (max 6.5V). When used with a 100kΩ resistor to 1.8V, it delivers valid logic-high/low levels compatible with 1.8V I/O, provided the sink current remains below 1mA (VPG-L ≤ 0.4V @ 1mA).
What failure protections are built into MP2183GTL-Z?
The MP2183GTL-Z integrates cycle-by-cycle current limiting, hiccup-mode short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown (160°C), input overvoltage lockout (6.1V), output overvoltage protection (115% VFB), and undervoltage lockout - all fully autonomous with no external components required.
