Product details
Overview
MP2333CGTL-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a synchronous step-down DC-DC converter IC delivering 3A continuous output current with 4.2V–18V input range, 650kHz fixed switching frequency, and forced continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation. It integrates 75mΩ/40mΩ high-side/low-side MOSFETs, features power-good (PG) open-drain output, programmable soft-start, and operates in SOT583 (1.6mm × 2.1mm) package for compact point-of-load regulation in space-constrained consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MP2333CGTL-Z datasheet, MP2333CGTL-Z pinout, MP2333CGTL-Z application, or MP2333CGTL-Z equivalent, this device supports fast transient response via constant-on-time (COT) control, enables pre-bias start-up, provides hiccup-mode over-current protection, and delivers tight output regulation (±1.9% VREF accuracy) across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The MP2333CGTL-Z employs constant-on-time (COT) control architecture to achieve sub-10µs load transient response without external compensation. Its internal high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs are driven by a bootstrap-regulated floating gate driver with 2.2V BST UVLO threshold and 150mV hysteresis.
Operation is enforced in continuous conduction mode (CCM) with valley-current limiting for OCP, thermal shutdown at 150°C (20°C hysteresis), and integrated under-voltage lockout (UVLO) with 4.0V rising threshold and 400mV hysteresis. PG status reflects output voltage within ±8% of VREF (789–821mV) after soft-start completion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.2V to 18V - supports wide industrial and consumer supply rails including 5V, 12V, and 18V battery or adapter inputs. |
| Output Current | 3A continuous - sufficient for powering SoCs, FPGAs, and memory subsystems in game consoles and set-top boxes. |
| Switching Frequency | 650kHz - enables use of small external inductors (e.g., 1.5–3.3µH) and ceramic capacitors while balancing EMI and efficiency. |
| RDS(ON) (HS/LS) | 75mΩ / 40mΩ - reduces conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency up to 95% at 12VIN/3.3VOUT. |
| Quiescent Current | 200µA - minimizes standby power draw in always-on subsystems such as HDMI receivers or audio processors. |
| Feedback Reference | 805mV ±1.9% - sets precise output voltage via resistor divider; enables 1.0V to 13V adjustable outputs with <0.1% load regulation. |
| Soft-Start Time | Programmable via external capacitor - ensures monotonic VOUT ramp and prevents inrush into pre-biased loads. |
Pinout & Package
SOT583 (1.6mm × 2.1mm) thermally enhanced 8-pin package with exposed pad for improved heat dissipation; footprint compatible with automated placement and reflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - PG | Power Good open-drain output | Signals valid regulation (VOUT ∈ 87–120% of VREF) after soft-start; requires external pull-up for system sequencing. |
| 2 - VIN | Main input supply rail | Accepts 4.2–18V; must be decoupled with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor placed within 1mm of pin for stable COT loop operation. |
| 3 - SW | Switch node | Connects to external inductor; high di/dt node requiring short, wide PCB trace and minimal loop area to reduce EMI. |
| 4 - GND | System ground reference | Primary return path for power and feedback; requires solid copper pour and multiple vias to thermal pad for thermal and noise performance. |
| 5 - BST | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver | Requires 1µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor between BST and SW to sustain gate drive during HS-FET conduction. |
| 6 - EN | Enable control input | Logic-high (>1.23V) enables regulator; internal 2.8V Zener clamp allows direct connection to VIN via 604kΩ pull-up for auto-start. |
| 7 - SS | Soft-start timing input | Charged by internal 7.3µA current source; external capacitor value determines ramp time per TSS(ms) = 2×VREF/ISS×CSS(nF). |
| 8 - FB | Feedback voltage sensing | Monitors output via resistor divider; 10–80nA input bias enables high-impedance dividers minimizing no-load current loss. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Forced PWM CCM operation | Eliminates mode-hopping discontinuities; ensures consistent 650kHz switching and predictable EMI spectrum across all load conditions. |
| Pre-bias start-up capability | Allows safe startup into externally powered outputs (e.g., hot-swap rails), preventing reverse current flow through LS-FET body diode. |
| Hiccup-mode over-current protection | Enters periodic restart cycle upon sustained overload or short-circuit, limiting average power dissipation and enabling self-recovery without host intervention. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 150°C junction temperature and resumes operation only after die cools to ~130°C, preventing thermal runaway in enclosed environments. |
| Low 200µA quiescent current | Reduces no-load power loss in always-on subsystems (e.g., remote control receivers, HDMI CEC logic), extending battery life in portable devices. |

| Game Console Power Rails | Digital Set-Top Box Core Logic |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2333GQKT-Z | Same die in QFN-8 (2mm × 2mm) package; higher thermal performance (θJA = 45°C/W) but larger footprint and no exposed pad solder mask defined. | Better suited for high-ambient or high-power-density designs where board space permits larger package and thermal vias are feasible. | Select when thermal margin is critical and PCB layout allows QFN-8; avoid if SOT583's 1.6mm × 2.1mm size is required for ultra-compact modules. |
| RT7295BGJ8F | 4.5–18V input, 3A, 600kHz, COT control; lacks PG output and pre-bias start-up; RDS(ON) = 85mΩ/50mΩ; IQ = 350µA. | Functional substitute where power-good sequencing is not required and slightly lower efficiency at light loads is acceptable. | Choose only if PG and pre-bias features are unnecessary; verify soft-start behavior and transient response meet system requirements before substitution. |
Compared with MP2333CGTL-Z, MP2333GQKT-Z offers superior thermal management in less space-constrained designs, while RT7295BGJ8F trades away PG and pre-bias functionality for cost-sensitive applications where those features are unused.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended input capacitance for MP2333CGTL-Z?
A minimum 10µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor is required at VIN, placed within 1mm of pins 2 (VIN) and 4 (GND). This ensures stable COT loop operation and limits input ripple to <50mV peak-to-peak at full 3A load. Larger values (e.g., 22µF) further reduce ripple and improve transient response.
Can MP2333CGTL-Z operate with a pre-biased output?
Yes - MP2333CGTL-Z supports monotonic pre-bias start-up. When VOUT is externally held above 0V at startup, the internal BST refresh circuit and SS charging mechanism coordinate to prevent reverse current flow and ensure controlled ramp-up without output collapse or oscillation.
How is the soft-start time calculated for a given capacitor value?
Soft-start time is determined by TSS(ms) = (2 × VREF) / ISS × CSS(nF), where VREF = 0.805V, ISS = 7.3µA typical, and CSS is the external capacitor on pin 7. For example, a 100nF capacitor yields ~22ms soft-start time.
What is the maximum allowable output capacitance?
The maximum output capacitance is limited by soft-start timing: CO_MAX ≈ (ILIM_AVG − IOUT) × TSS / VOUT. With typical ILIM_AVG ≈ 2.5A, TSS = 22ms, and VOUT = 3.3V, CO_MAX ≈ 470µF. Exceeding this may cause failure to reach regulation during startup.
Does MP2333CGTL-Z support external synchronization?
No - MP2333CGTL-Z uses fixed-frequency constant-on-time (COT) control with no external sync input. Switching frequency varies ±25% over input voltage and temperature (485–815kHz), but remains centered at 650kHz under nominal conditions (VIN = 12V, TJ = 25°C).
What is the purpose of the BST capacitor, and what type is recommended?
The BST capacitor (1µF, X5R/X7R ceramic) forms a floating supply for the high-side gate driver. It must be placed directly between BST and SW pins with short traces. Its voltage rating should exceed 10V to withstand BST-SW swing up to 6.3V during operation.
How does the power-good (PG) signal behave during fault conditions?
PG goes low during EN deactivation, VIN UVLO, OCP hiccup events, thermal shutdown, or if VOUT falls below 87% or rises above 120% of VREF. It remains low until VOUT stabilizes within 92–107% of VREF and soft-start completes - ensuring reliable system-level power sequencing.
