Product details
Overview
MP2345GJ-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a synchronous step-down DC/DC converter IC with integrated 90mΩ high-side and 40mΩ low-side MOSFETs, delivering 2.5A continuous output current across a 7.5V–26V input range. It operates at a fixed 600kHz switching frequency in CCM mode, features internal soft-start, over-current protection with hiccup recovery, and thermal shutdown - deployed in compact RF-enabled devices and flat-panel display power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MP2345GJ-Z datasheet, MP2345GJ-Z pinout, MP2345GJ-Z application, or MP2345GJ-Z equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, TSOT23-6 package layout guidance, EMI-optimized switching behavior, and real-world design constraints for industrial and consumer power supply integration.
Technical Context
The MP2345GJ-Z uses peak-current-mode control with an internal 0.791V reference and cycle-by-cycle over-current limiting triggered at 3.5–5.5A. Its AAM (Advanced Asynchronous Modulation) power-save mode enables PFM operation under light loads by blocking the internal clock when COMP voltage falls below 0.4V.
Bootstrap charging is managed via an internal floating driver with UVLO (2.2V rising threshold, 150mV hysteresis), while the VCC LDO regulates from VIN across the full 7.5V–26V range and requires a 0.1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor. Frequency foldback activates when FB drops below 396mV, reducing fSW to 0.2× nominal during short-circuit faults.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 7.5V to 26V - supports wide industrial and automotive battery-supplied inputs without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 2.5A continuous - sufficient for powering SoC cores, FPGAs, or display logic in space-constrained designs. |
| Switching Frequency | 600kHz ±100kHz - balances efficiency, inductor size, and EMI filtering requirements in compact layouts. |
| RDS(ON) (HS/LS) | 90mΩ / 40mΩ - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise at full load in TSOT23-6 package. |
| Feedback Voltage | 791mV ±16mV - sets precise output regulation; used with resistor divider to configure 3.3V–26V outputs. |
| Soft-Start Time | 1.5ms (10%–90%) - prevents output overshoot and inrush current during power-up sequencing. |
| OCP Threshold | 4.5A typical - provides robust short-circuit protection with hiccup-mode recovery to limit average fault current. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects die integrity during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
MP2345GJ-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced, lead-free TSOT23-6 package (JEDEC MO-193 AB), with 0.65mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and exposed pad for improved heat dissipation. The package supports MSL Level 1 handling per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Input supply rail | Accepts 7.5V–26V; requires local 10µF+ ceramic decoupling with wide PCB traces to minimize impedance. |
| 2 SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor; connects to BST capacitor; must be routed away from analog nodes (e.g., FB) to reduce coupling. |
| 3 GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for HS/LS MOSFETs and output capacitor; requires low-inductance connection via multiple vias. |
| 4 BST | Bootstrap supply | Connects to SW via 0.1µF ceramic capacitor; powers high-side gate driver; optional external diode improves efficiency at 5V output. |
| 5 VCC | Internal LDO output | Supplies internal circuitry; decoupled with 0.1–0.22µF capacitor; can be biased externally via diode from VOUT for higher efficiency. |
| 6 FB | Feedback input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; internal 791mV reference; short-circuit detection triggers foldback when FB < 396mV. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Optimized low-EMI switching edge | SW anti-ringing circuitry suppresses high-frequency radiation, easing EMC compliance in RF-sensitive applications. |
| Internal power-save mode (AAM) | Enables PFM operation below ~100mA load, reducing quiescent current to 170µA and improving light-load efficiency. |
| Integrated MOSFETs with matched RDS(ON) | 90mΩ HS + 40mΩ LS reduces conduction loss and eliminates external FET selection, simplifying BOM and layout. |
| Fixed 600kHz CCM operation | Ensures predictable EMI profile and stable loop response; avoids sub-harmonic oscillation without slope compensation. |
| Robust protection suite | OCP with hiccup recovery, thermal shutdown, and UVLO (6.3V rising / 5.83V falling) prevent damage under 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| RT6203BGQW | 3A rated, 2.5MHz switching, no internal bootstrap diode support, 0.8V FB reference | Better suited for ultra-compact, high-frequency designs where inductor size is critical; lacks AAM mode | Select when board space is constrained and >1MHz operation is acceptable; verify loop stability with external compensation. |
| TPS562201DDCR | 2A rated, 500kHz, integrated compensation, 0.6V FB reference, no BST pin - uses single-supply gate drive | Lower current capacity and simpler bootstrap architecture; optimized for cost-sensitive, medium-power applications | Choose for lower-cost BOMs where 2A output suffices and external BST capacitor routing complexity must be avoided. |
Compared with RT6203BGQW and TPS562201DDCR, MP2345GJ-Z delivers higher output current (2.5A), wider input range (7.5–26V), and dedicated BST pin enabling flexible external diode integration - making it optimal for industrial and display power rails requiring robustness and layout flexibility.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended input voltage for reliable startup?
The MP2345GJ-Z has a VIN under-voltage lockout (UVLO) rising threshold of 6.3V typical. Startup is guaranteed only when input voltage exceeds this value; operation below 5.2V (minimum UVLO threshold) will disable the device. For stable 7.5V–26V operation, ensure input stays above 6.3V during all transient conditions.
Can MP2345GJ-Z regulate output voltages below 3.3V?
No - the datasheet specifies "output adjustable from 3.3V", and the feedback reference is fixed at 791mV. Configuring outputs below 3.3V would require FB voltage below 791mV, violating the internal error amplifier operating range and compromising regulation accuracy and stability.
Is an external bootstrap diode required for normal operation?
No - the MP2345GJ-Z includes internal bootstrap charging circuitry. An external diode from VOUT to BST is optional and recommended only for 5V-output designs to improve efficiency by ~1–2% under heavy load, as stated in the application notes.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature during continuous operation?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150°C, with thermal shutdown activating at that point. For reliable continuous operation, design for a maximum junction temperature ≤125°C using θJA = 62°C/W (2-layer PCB) or θJA = 100°C/W (JESD51-7 4-layer board), factoring in ambient temperature and power dissipation.
How does the frequency foldback feature behave during overload?
When FB voltage drops below 396mV - indicating severe overload or short-circuit - the oscillator frequency folds back to 20% of nominal (e.g., ~120kHz at 600kHz nominal). This reduces switching loss and average fault current while maintaining hiccup-mode restart attempts until the fault clears.
Does MP2345GJ-Z support external synchronization?
No - the MP2345GJ-Z uses an internal fixed-frequency oscillator and does not provide an external SYNC pin or frequency adjustment capability. Its 600kHz operation is non-synchronizable; for synchronized multi-rail systems, consider MPS's MP2338 or MPQ4331 series.
What is the recommended input capacitor RMS current rating?
Per Equation (5) in the datasheet, worst-case input capacitor RMS current equals half the maximum load current (1.25A for 2.5A output). Therefore, select a ceramic or polymer capacitor rated for ≥1.3A RMS, with low ESR and X5R/X7R dielectric for stable performance across temperature.
