Product details
Overview
MP2263GD-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a frequency-programmable (350kHz–2.5MHz), synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated 90mΩ/38mΩ high-side/low-side MOSFETs, delivering 3A continuous output current across a 3.3V–30V input range and featuring 12µA sleep-mode quiescent current, external soft-start, and open-drain power-good output - deployed in battery-powered smart home hubs requiring ultra-low standby power and wide VIN tolerance.
For engineers reviewing the MP2263GD-Z datasheet, MP2263GD-Z pinout, MP2263GD-Z application, or MP2263GD-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its programmable switching frequency, low-IQ operation down to 12µA, hiccup-mode over-current protection, 80ns minimum on-time for high-duty-cycle operation, and QFN-15 (2mm×3mm) thermal performance with θJA = 70°C/W.
Technical Context
The MP2263GD-Z implements current-mode control with cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting and advanced asynchronous mode (AAM) for light-load efficiency optimization - enabling auto PFM/PWM or forced PWM operation via the MODE pin. Its internal error amplifier compares FB voltage against a precise 0.8V reference and drives VCOMP to regulate output.
It integrates dual bias paths: LDO1 powered from VIN (5V regulated when VIN > 5V) and LDO2 powered from BIAS (enabled when VBIAS > 4.8V), supporting high-efficiency 5V-output configurations by connecting BIAS to VOUT. Bootstrap charging uses an internal regulator with UVLO-based refresh during low-BST-to-SW conditions to sustain >99% effective duty cycle in dropout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.3V to 30V - supports 12V/24V industrial rails and wide-range battery inputs (e.g., 3S–8S Li-ion). |
| Output Current | 3A continuous - sufficient for powering SoCs, wireless modules, and sensor subsystems without external heatsinking. |
| Quiescent Current | 12µA in sleep mode - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT endpoints. |
| Switching Frequency | 350kHz to 2.5MHz (resistor-programmable) - allows optimization between EMI compliance and inductor size. |
| RDS(ON) | 90mΩ (HS) / 38mΩ (LS) - minimizes conduction loss at full load, enabling >92% peak efficiency at 12V→3.3V/3A. |
| Minimum On-Time | 80ns - supports high-VIN-to-low-VOUT conversion (e.g., 24V→3.3V) without pulse-skipping instability. |

Pinout & Package
The MP2263GD-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-15 package (2mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad, offering θJA = 70°C/W and θJC = 15°C/W on a 4-layer PCB per JESD51-7.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MODE) | Mode selection input | Configures auto PFM/PWM (pull low/floating) or forced PWM (pull high); internal 1.55MΩ pull-down ensures safe default. |
| 2 (VIN) | Main power input | Supplies control circuitry and internal switches; requires local 10µF ceramic decoupling to suppress switching noise. |
| 3,8 (PGND) | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for high di/dt switch currents; must be connected directly to thermal pad and input capacitor ground. |
| 4 (EN) | Enable control | Digital ON/OFF control with 0.9–1.2V rising threshold; enables programmable UVLO when used with external resistor divider. |
| 5 (NC) | No connection | Must remain unconnected and unbonded; no internal circuitry attached. |
| 6 (PG) | Power good indicator | Open-drain output signaling valid regulation (UV: <84% VREF, OV: >118% VREF) with 34/57µs deglitch timers. |
| 7 (BIAS) | Bias supply input | Optional external bias source (>4.8V) to power internal regulators, improving efficiency in 5V-output designs. |
| 9 (SW) | Switch node | High-frequency switching output connected to inductor; requires tight layout to minimize EMI and ringing. |
| 10 (BST) | Bootstrap supply | Charges internal high-side gate driver; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW. |
| 11 (VCC) | Internal LDO output | 5V regulated supply for control logic and gate drivers; requires 1µF ceramic decoupling close to pin. |
| 12 (AGND) | Analog ground | Reference for FB, SS, and error amplifier; must be star-connected to PGND under IC to avoid noise coupling. |
| 13 (SS) | Soft-start timing | 10µA current source charges external capacitor to linearly ramp FB reference and limit inrush current. |
| 14 (FB) | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; 0.8V precision reference enables accurate output setting (e.g., 3.3V with 1kΩ/324Ω). |
| 15 (FREQ) | Frequency set | Resistor-to-ground sets switching frequency (e.g., 82kΩ → 1MHz); enables EMI tuning without changing magnetics. |
Key Features

| Hiccup Over-Current Protection | Shuts down and auto-restarts on sustained short-circuit - prevents thermal runaway without external circuitry. |
| Low-Dropout Operation | Sustains regulation up to ~99% duty cycle - supports 24V→3.3V conversion with minimal headroom loss. |

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor configuration for MP2263GD-Z?
Use two 10µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors placed as close as possible to VIN and PGND pins. One capacitor should be rated for ≥1.5× the maximum RMS input current (≈1.5A at 3A load), and a 0.1µF high-frequency ceramic cap must be added adjacent to the IC for high-frequency noise suppression. Avoid electrolytic/tantalum unless paired with the 0.1µF ceramic.
Can MP2263GD-Z operate with BIAS pin unconnected?
Yes - the BIAS pin may be left floating or tied to GND if unused. When BIAS is unconnected or grounded, the internal LDO1 (powered from VIN) supplies VCC. This configuration is standard for most applications; BIAS is only needed to improve efficiency in 5V-output designs by powering VCC from VOUT.
How does the MP2263GD-Z handle pre-biased output conditions during start-up?
The MP2263GD-Z supports monotonic pre-biased start-up: when VOUT is already present, the internal BST capacitor is refreshed and the SS capacitor is charged simultaneously. Startup proceeds only after both BST voltage exceeds its rising threshold and SS voltage reaches 1.125×VFB + Voffset, preventing reverse current and output overshoot.
What is the function of the MODE pin, and how should it be configured?
The MODE pin selects between auto PFM/PWM (default) and forced PWM operation. Pull MODE low or leave it floating for automatic light-load efficiency optimization (AAM). Pull MODE to VCC for constant-frequency PWM across all loads - required for EMI-sensitive applications or when output ripple must remain predictable at light loads.
Is the MP2263GD-Z RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - the MP2263GD-Z is lead-free, halogen-free, and fully compliant with the EU RoHS directive. All packaging materials and die attach compounds meet IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) and are qualified for reflow soldering per JEDEC standards.
How is switching frequency set, and what resistor values correspond to common frequencies?
Switching frequency is set by connecting a resistor (RFREQ) from the FREQ pin to GND. Approximate values: 164kΩ → 425kHz, 82kΩ → 1MHz, 27kΩ → 2.5MHz. The relationship follows RFREQ(kΩ) ≈ 86.5 / fSW(MHz) – 6.5. Use 1% tolerance metal-film resistors for stable frequency accuracy.
Does MP2263GD-Z require an external compensation network?
No - the MP2263GD-Z uses internal Type-II compensation optimized for standard output capacitor ESR ranges. External compensation is not supported; stability is ensured across 10µF–470µF ceramic or low-ESR tantalum capacitors when following MPS-recommended layout guidelines and inductor selection.
