Product details
Overview
MP2354DS-LF from Monolithic Power Systems is a monolithic 2A, 23V input, 380kHz synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated 0.18Ω high-side MOSFET and 10Ω low-side switch, operating from –40°C to +85°C in SOIC-8 package. It delivers stable output voltage via current-mode control with programmable UVLO, thermal shutdown, and cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection - used as primary power supply in battery chargers and distributed power systems.
For engineers reviewing the MP2354DS-LF datasheet, MP2354DS-LF pinout, MP2354DS-LF application, or MP2354DS-LF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.75–23V input range, fixed 380kHz switching frequency, 1.222V feedback reference, SYNC capability for external clock synchronization, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The MP2354DS-LF implements current-mode control with internal transconductance error amplifier (GEA = 700μA/V) and slope-compensated current sensing, enabling fast transient response and simplified loop stabilization. Its COMP pin serves as both error amplifier output and current comparator input, supporting external RC compensation networks for stability tuning across varied output capacitor ESR and capacitance values.
It features dual-switch architecture: a 0.18Ω high-side MOSFET and 10Ω low-side switch, with bootstrap-driven gate drive (BST pin) and internal 5V charge pump. The RUN pin enables UVLO programming (2.37–2.62V threshold), while SYNC accepts 445–600kHz external clocks to force oscillator reset and synchronize multiple converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.75V to 23V - supports wide-range industrial and battery-powered inputs including 12V and 19V rails. |
| Output Current | 2A continuous - sufficient for powering FPGA I/O banks, microcontroller cores, or sensor subsystems. |
| Switching Frequency | 380kHz (±9%) - balances efficiency, EMI, and inductor size; synchronizable up to 600kHz via SYNC pin. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.222V (±2%) - sets output voltage accuracy; enables precise 3.3V, 5V, or custom outputs using resistor dividers. |
| High-Side RDS(on) | 0.18Ω - reduces conduction loss at full load, improving efficiency especially under 12V→3.3V conversion. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 155°C - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without latch-off behavior. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.2mA (active), 35μA (shutdown) - enables low-power standby modes in portable equipment. |
Pinout & Package
MP2354DS-LF is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (SOIC-8, 150°C max junction temperature, θJA = 105°C/W), with exposed pad not present. Pin functions are validated per MP2354 Rev. 1.4 datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SYNC) | Synchronization Input | Accepts external 445–600kHz square wave to align switching edges; internal 11kΩ pull-down enables default free-running mode. |
| 2 (BST) | Bootstrap Supply | Connects floating 5V charge-pump capacitor between BST and LX to drive high-side MOSFET gate above VIN. |
| 3 (VIN) | Main Power Input | Supplies 4.75–23V unregulated input; requires local ceramic decoupling (e.g., 10μF X5R) near pin. |
| 4 (LX) | Switch Node | Drives external inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - demands tight layout to minimize EMI and shoot-through risk. |
| 5 (GND) | Analog & Power Ground | Single-point reference for FB, COMP, and RUN; must be isolated from high-current return paths to avoid noise coupling. |
| 6 (FB) | Feedback Input | Senses divided output voltage; internal 1.222V reference enables accurate regulation; short-circuit foldback activates below 700mV. |
| 7 (COMP) | Compensation Node | Transconductance error amplifier output; connects external RC network to set pole-zero locations for stability and transient response. |
| 8 (RUN) | Enable / UVLO Control | Enables operation above 2.62V; UVLO hysteresis = 210mV; <700mV ensures full shutdown (IQ = 20μA). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power Switches | 0.18Ω high-side MOSFET + 10Ω low-side switch - eliminates external FETs and drivers, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Ceramic-Capacitor Compatible | Stable with low-ESR ceramic output caps (e.g., 22μF X5R) - avoids bulk tantalum/electrolytic, improving reliability and temperature performance. |
| Efficiency Optimization | Up to 95% peak efficiency - achieved via low RDS(on), optimized gate drive, and adaptive light-load behavior. |
| Programmable UVLO | Adjustable enable threshold via resistor divider on RUN pin - enables brown-in/brown-out control for system-level power sequencing. |
| Frequency Synchronization | SYNC pin accepts external clock up to 600kHz - essential for noise-sensitive applications and multi-converter phase alignment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2392DD-LF | Successor IC: 3A output, 4.5–36V input, 500kHz switching, improved light-load efficiency, no low-side MOSFET (requires external sync rectifier). | Designed for higher-power or wider-input applications (e.g., 24V industrial rails); lacks integrated low-side switch, increasing BOM but enabling higher efficiency at >2A loads. | Select MP2392DD-LF when upgrading legacy MP2354 designs requiring >2A output or extended input range beyond 23V. |
| LM2678SD-3.3/NOPB | Non-synchronous buck: 5A output, 8–40V input, 260kHz fixed frequency, external Schottky diode required, no SYNC or programmable UVLO. | Higher current capacity but lower efficiency due to diode conduction loss; simpler compensation but less flexible for noise-sensitive systems. | Choose LM2678SD-3.3/NOPB only if cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency needs and external diode layout is acceptable. |
Compared with MP2354DS-LF, MP2392DD-LF offers higher current and input voltage headroom at the cost of added external components, while LM2678SD-3.3/NOPB trades integration for raw current capability and legacy support - making MP2354DS-LF optimal for space-constrained 2A designs needing full integration and synchronization.

FAQ
Is MP2354DS-LF still in active production?
No - MP2354DS-LF is marked End-of-Life (EOL) by Monolithic Power Systems, with official replacement guidance pointing to MP2392. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock for continuity support, but new designs should migrate to MP2392DD-LF or verified alternatives.
What is the maximum achievable output voltage with MP2354DS-LF?
The MP2354DS-LF does not regulate output voltage directly; it sets VOUT via external resistor divider on FB pin. With VFB = 1.222V, practical maximum output is limited by internal switch ratings and thermal constraints - typically ≤15V with adequate heatsinking and proper inductor selection per datasheet Table 4.
Can MP2354DS-LF operate with 100% duty cycle?
No - MP2354DS-LF has a maximum duty cycle of 90% (at VFB = 1.0V). It cannot sustain 100% conduction; minimum off-time is enforced by internal oscillator timing, preventing direct pass-through operation. For dropout-critical applications, consider LDO post-regulation.
Why does MP2354DS-LF require an external bootstrap diode in some cases?
An external bootstrap diode (e.g., BAT54) is recommended when input voltage is fixed at 5V or output exceeds 12V, or when duty cycle >65%. It improves BST capacitor recharge efficiency during high-duty operation, preventing gate drive collapse and ensuring reliable high-side switch turn-on.
How does the MP2354DS-LF handle short-circuit conditions?
Under short-circuit, MP2354DS-LF activates frequency foldback: oscillator frequency drops from 380kHz to ~35kHz when FB voltage falls below 700mV. This reduces power dissipation while maintaining hiccup-like current limiting via cycle-by-cycle peak current detection (3.4A typical limit).
What is the role of the 10Ω low-side MOSFET in MP2354DS-LF?
The 10Ω low-side switch provides synchronous rectification during the off-phase, replacing an external Schottky diode. Though higher RDS(on) than the high-side switch, it enables >90% efficiency at medium-to-heavy loads and eliminates reverse recovery losses - critical for high-frequency operation.
Does MP2354DS-LF support forced PWM mode?
No - MP2354DS-LF operates exclusively in current-mode PWM with automatic pulse-skipping at light loads. It lacks a MODE pin or external control for forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM); output ripple increases below ~200mA due to variable-frequency discontinuous conduction.
