Product details
Overview
MP2345GJ-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a synchronous step-down DC-DC converter IC with integrated 90mΩ/40mΩ high-side/low-side MOSFETs, delivering 2.5A continuous output current across a 7.5V–26V input range, fixed 600kHz switching frequency, and internal power-save mode for light loads - deployed in RF-enabled devices and flat-panel display standby supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MP2345GJ-P datasheet, MP2345GJ-P pinout, MP2345GJ-P application, or MP2345GJ-P equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed EMI-optimized operation, real-world efficiency curves at 3.3V/5V outputs, and precise thermal shutdown behavior at 150°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The MP2345GJ-P operates in fixed-frequency peak-current-mode control with an internal 0.791V reference and cycle-by-cycle over-current protection triggering at 3.5–5.5A. Its AAM (Advanced Asynchronous Modulation) power-save mode activates when COMP voltage falls below 0.4V, enabling pulse-skipping PFM operation under light load.
Bootstrap charging uses an external capacitor between SW and BST to sustain the high-side gate driver; VCC is internally regulated from VIN and supports external 5V biasing via diode. UVLO has 6.3V rising threshold with 470mV hysteresis, and soft-start ramps output from 10% to 90% in 0.8–2.2ms.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 7.5V to 26V - supports wide industrial and automotive supply rails without pre-regulation |
| Output Current | 2.5A continuous - sufficient for powering SoC cores, FPGAs, or display logic rails |
| Switching Frequency | 600kHz fixed - enables compact 10μH inductor selection and predictable EMI filtering |
| Internal MOSFET RDS(on) | 90mΩ (HS) / 40mΩ (LS) - minimizes conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency up to 95% |
| Feedback Reference | 791mV ±16mV - sets precise output voltage via external resistor divider (e.g., 3.3V or 5V) |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects die during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
| OCP Threshold | 3.5A to 5.5A - provides robust short-circuit protection with hiccup-mode recovery |
Pinout & Package
MP2345GJ-P is housed in a space-saving TSOT23-6 package (1.6mm × 2.9mm × 0.85mm), rated MSL 1, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is bottom-left when viewing top marking left-to-right.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Primary input supply rail | Accepts 7.5V–26V; requires local 22μF low-ESR ceramic decoupling with wide PCB traces |
| 2 SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor; connects to BST capacitor and must be routed away from FB/ANALOG areas |
| 3 GND | Power and signal ground reference | Single-point star ground connection required; tie to thermal pad and input/output capacitors via multiple vias |
| 4 BST | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver | Requires 0.1μF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW; optional external diode from VOUT improves efficiency at 5V |
| 5 VCC | Internal LDO output & bias rail | Decoupled with 0.1–0.22μF capacitor; can be externally biased by 5V rail via diode to reduce quiescent current |
| 6 FB | Feedback input for output regulation | Monitors resistor divider; triggers foldback at 396mV during short-circuit; sensitive to noise - route short and shielded |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-EMI Switching Edge | SW anti-ringing circuitry suppresses high-frequency radiation, easing EMC compliance in compact layouts |
| Internal Soft Start | 1.5ms typical ramp time prevents output overshoot and inrush current during power-up |
| Power-Save Mode (AAM) | Enables PFM operation below ~100mA load, reducing Iq to 170μA and improving light-load efficiency |
| Hiccup-Mode OCP | Enters periodic restart after over-current fault, limiting average short-circuit current and die temperature rise |
| Optimized Bootstrap Charging | Internal regulation maintains ~4V BST voltage across CBST, ensuring reliable high-side FET turn-on across input range |
Applications
| RF Power Amplifier Bias Supply | Flat-Panel Display Standby Rail |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2335GJ-Z | Lower 3.3A rating, 500kHz fSW, same TSOT23-6 package but no AAM mode | Lacks light-load PFM; higher Iq (250μA) makes it unsuitable for battery-backed standby rails | Choose only if fixed 500kHz timing sync is required and light-load efficiency is not critical |
| TPS562211DDFR | TI part with 2.5A rating, 650kHz fSW, external compensation, no integrated bootstrap diode path | Requires external loop compensation components; lacks SW anti-ringing, increasing EMI filter burden | Select when design requires adjustable loop bandwidth or compatibility with TI's WEBENCH ecosystem |
Compared with MP2345GJ-P, MP2335GJ-Z trades light-load efficiency for marginally higher current, while TPS562211DDFR adds design flexibility at the cost of board area and EMI mitigation complexity - MP2345GJ-P uniquely balances integration, EMI performance, and ultra-low Iq in a 6-pin footprint.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended output voltage for MP2345GJ-P?
The MP2345GJ-P supports adjustable output voltages starting from 3.3V using the internal 0.791V feedback reference and external resistor divider. The datasheet confirms stable regulation down to 3.3V; lower outputs require external reference or different topology due to FB voltage limitation and duty-cycle constraints.
Does MP2345GJ-P require an external bootstrap diode?
No - MP2345GJ-P includes internal bootstrap charging circuitry and operates reliably with only a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW pins. An external diode from VOUT to BST is optional and recommended only for 5V-output designs to improve efficiency by ~1–2% under full load.
How does the hiccup-mode over-current protection behave during sustained short-circuit?
When FB voltage drops below 396mV (indicating severe overload), the MP2345GJ-P enters hiccup mode: it disables switching, waits ~30ms, then attempts restart. This limits average short-circuit current to ~1.25A and keeps junction temperature below 130°C, preventing thermal damage during extended faults.
Can MP2345GJ-P operate with input voltage below 7.5V?
No - the absolute minimum operating input is 7.5V per the Recommended Operating Conditions table. Below this, the UVLO circuit disables the device. The absolute maximum rating allows -0.3V to +28V, but functional operation is guaranteed only within 7.5V–26V.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of MP2345GJ-P on a standard 2-layer PCB?
On the EV2345-J-00A 2-layer evaluation board (64mm × 48mm), θJA is measured at 62°C/W. This value assumes proper thermal pad soldering and copper pour; actual performance depends on PCB layout - adding thermal vias to inner ground planes can reduce θJA by 15–25%.
Is MP2345GJ-P compatible with ceramic output capacitors only?
No - MP2345GJ-P supports ceramic, tantalum, or low-ESR electrolytic output capacitors. Ceramic is preferred for lowest ripple and stability; for tantalum/electrolytic, ESR dominates ripple calculation (Equation 9), so values ≤30mΩ are recommended to maintain regulation accuracy and transient response.
What is the purpose of the 15pF capacitor (C5) shown in the typical application schematic?
C5 (15pF) is a feedforward capacitor placed across the upper feedback resistor (R1). It improves phase margin and transient response by introducing a zero in the control loop, compensating for the pole introduced by the output capacitor's ESR and inductor - especially beneficial with low-ESR ceramic outputs.
