Product details
Overview
MP2331HGTL-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a fully integrated, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering 2A continuous output current with 4.2V–24V input range, 1.2MHz switching frequency, and constant-on-time (COT) control for fast transient response in space-constrained power rails for digital set-top boxes and flat-panel displays.
For engineers reviewing the MP2331HGTL-Z datasheet, MP2331HGTL-Z pinout, MP2331HGTL-Z application, or MP2331HGTL-Z equivalent, key selection considerations include its SOT583 package footprint, 110mΩ/45mΩ internal MOSFET RDS(ON), programmable soft-start, power-good indication, and forced PWM operation under light load.
Technical Context
The MP2331HGTL-Z implements constant-on-time (COT) control with input- and output-voltage-dependent on-time generation to maintain stable ~1.2MHz switching across 4.2V–24V input while supporting pre-biased start-up and TON extension down to 280kHz for improved dropout performance.
Its integrated high-side (110mΩ) and low-side (45mΩ) N-channel MOSFETs operate in forced CCM with internal dead-time control to prevent shoot-through; the bootstrap circuit self-charges via SW node and regulates BST voltage to 3.3V with UVLO at 2.2V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.2V to 24V - supports wide industrial and consumer input rails including 5V, 12V, 19V, and 24V systems without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 2A continuous - delivers full rated current with thermal shutdown protection up to +125°C junction temperature. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.2MHz typical - enables compact magnetics and low-profile ceramic output capacitors; adjustable via external components. |
| Internal MOSFET RDS(ON) | 110mΩ (HS) / 45mΩ (LS) - reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency at 2A, especially at mid-to-high load conditions. |
| Quiescent Current | 200µA - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems such as HDMI receivers or USB-C PD controllers. |
| Feedback Reference | 805mV ±16mV - sets precise output voltage via external resistor divider; supports 0.8V–13V outputs with tight regulation over line/load/temperature. |
| Power Good Threshold | 92%–120% of VREF rising/falling - provides reliable system sequencing with open-drain PG output requiring external pull-up. |
Pinout & Package
The MP2331HGTL-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced, space-saving SOT583 package (1.6mm × 2.1mm, 0.5mm pitch), optimized for high-density PCB layouts with exposed thermal pad connected to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - PG | Power Good open-drain output | Signals regulated output status; requires external pull-up; asserts low during UVLO, OCP, OTP, or EN deactivation. |
| 2 - IN | Main input supply rail | Accepts 4.2V–24V; must be decoupled with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin; wide trace recommended. |
| 3 - SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt; requires short, low-inductance routing and direct connection to BST capacitor. |
| 4 - GND | System ground reference | Primary return path for power and signal; must be tied to thermal pad and use multiple vias to inner ground plane. |
| 5 - BST | Bootstrap supply for HS gate driver | Requires 1µF X7R ceramic capacitor between BST and SW; enables floating high-side drive above VIN. |
| 6 - EN | Enable control input | Logic-high (>1.23V) enables regulator; internal 2.8V Zener clamp protects against overvoltage; pull-up to VIN recommended. |
| 7 - SS | Soft-start timing node | Charged by internal 7.3µA current source; external capacitor sets ramp time; overrides VREF during startup. |
| 8 - FB | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; 805mV reference enables accurate VOUT setting; high-impedance (10–80nA) minimizes divider loss. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-On-Time (COT) Control | Delivers <10µs load transient recovery without external compensation; maintains stable frequency across input/output variations. |
| Programmable Soft-Start | External capacitor on SS pin sets monotonic output ramp time-prevents inrush into pre-biased loads and avoids system brownout. |
| Forced PWM Operation | Eliminates mode-hopping at light load; ensures consistent 1.2MHz switching for predictable EMI and output ripple behavior. |
| Integrated Protection Suite | Includes hiccup-mode OCP, thermal shutdown (150°C), input UVLO (4V), and PG fault signaling-reduces BOM count and improves system reliability. |
| SOT583 Thermal Performance | θJA = 55°C/W on 2-layer board-enables 2A operation without heatsink in ambient ≤60°C with proper copper area and vias. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2331GTL-Z | Same die, SOT563 package (1.6mm × 1.6mm); higher θJA (70°C/W); no BST pin exposed - requires external bootstrap circuit. | Limited to lower ambient temps or reduced load current; unsuitable for high-reliability 2A continuous designs without derating. | Select MP2331HGTL-Z when thermal performance, integrated BST, or layout simplicity is required. |
| TPS54202DRCT | TI part; 4.5–28V input; 2A; 450kHz–2.5MHz adjustable freq; current-mode control; different pinout and compensation requirements. | Requires external compensation network; lacks pre-bias start-up and TON extension; PG threshold less tightly specified. | Choose only if existing TI ecosystem integration or adjustable frequency outweighs COT advantages and SOT583 size benefit. |

FAQ
What is the minimum output voltage supported by MP2331HGTL-Z?
The MP2331HGTL-Z supports output voltages as low as 0.8V, set by the internal 805mV feedback reference and external resistor divider. At VOUT = 0.8V, the FB divider must be configured so that the voltage at FB equals 805mV when the output reaches regulation-verified per Equation (2) in the datasheet.
Does MP2331HGTL-Z support forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) at all load levels?
Yes-the MP2331HGTL-Z operates exclusively in forced CCM, eliminating pulse-skipping and mode transitions. This ensures consistent 1.2MHz switching frequency, predictable EMI profile, and stable output ripple even at light loads, unlike hysteretic or auto-mode buck regulators.
How is the soft-start time calculated for MP2331HGTL-Z?
Soft-start time is determined by the external capacitor on the SS pin and the internal 7.3µA current source: TSS(ms) = (CSS(nF) × 2 × VREF) / ISS. For example, a 10nF capacitor yields ~2.2ms ramp time. The SS pin voltage ramps linearly until VSS/2 exceeds VREF, ending soft-start.
Can MP2331HGTL-Z start into a pre-biased output?
Yes-it features dedicated pre-bias start-up circuitry. When the FB node is pre-charged, the internal soft-start and bootstrap circuits coordinate to refresh BST voltage and initiate monotonic ramping without reverse current flow or output collapse, verified in Figure 9 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum recommended output capacitance for MP2331HGTL-Z?
The maximum safe output capacitance is limited by soft-start duration and average start-up current. Per Equation (12), CO_MAX ≈ (ILIM_AVG − IOUT) × TSS / VOUT. With typical 7.3µA SS current and 2A load, exceeding ~470µF risks failure to reach regulation before soft-start ends-use 220µF or less for robustness.
Is an external bootstrap diode required for MP2331HGTL-Z?
No-the MP2331HGTL-Z integrates a bootstrap charging circuit that self-generates the floating supply for the high-side gate driver using the SW node and internal regulation. Only a 1µF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW is required; no external diode or charge pump is needed.
What PCB layout practices are critical for MP2331HGTL-Z stability?
Three practices are essential: (1) Place input capacitor (≥10µF X7R) within 3mm of IN and GND pins using wide, short traces; (2) Connect GND pin and thermal pad to solid inner ground plane with ≥4 thermal vias; (3) Route SW node directly to inductor with minimal loop area-avoid routing under IC or near sensitive analog traces.
