Product details
Overview
MP2498DV-LF-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a 100V load dump-protected, 2A non-synchronous buck regulator with integrated high-side MOSFET (RDS(ON) = 250 mΩ), programmable 150 kHz–2 MHz switching frequency, and 120 µA quiescent current. It delivers adjustable 0.8 V–15 V output in automotive and industrial power systems where transient survivability up to 100 V/100 ms is required.
For engineers reviewing the MP2498DV-LF-Z datasheet, MP2498DV-LF-Z pinout, MP2498DV-LF-Z application, or MP2498DV-LF-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated 100 V overvoltage protection switch, cycle-by-cycle current limiting (3.2 A typ), thermal shutdown (150 °C), QFN28 (4 mm × 5 mm) thermal performance, and compatibility with ceramic-output-capacitor stability.
Technical Context
The MP2498DV-LF-Z implements current-mode PWM control with internal soft-start (0.5 ms ramp), precision 0.8 V feedback reference (±2.5% over temperature), and programmable oscillator via external resistor on FREQ pin. Its error amplifier features 400 V/V gain and 120 µA/V transconductance for loop compensation at COMP pin.
It integrates dual protection functions: a normally-on 100 V/0.5 Ω overvoltage protector between CTR and VDD for load dump suppression, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting with short-circuit foldback (50% current limit when FB ≈ 0 V). Bootstrap charging relies on external BST–SW capacitor and requires ≥100 ns minimum off time for reliable high-side gate drive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6.5 V to 30 V - supports 12 V/24 V automotive battery rails with 90 V surge tolerance (100 ms). |
| Output Current | 2 A continuous - limited by internal MOSFET RDS(ON) (250 mΩ) and thermal design in QFN28 package. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.800 V ±2.5% - sets output voltage via external resistor divider; enables 0.8 V–15 V adjustment range. |
| Quiescent Current | 120 µA - enables low-power standby operation in battery-backed automotive modules. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz to 2 MHz - programmable via FREQ pin resistor; higher frequencies reduce inductor size but require careful bootstrap timing. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150 °C with 20 °C hysteresis - protects die during overload or poor PCB thermal layout; resumes operation at 130 °C. |
| Current Limit | 3.2 A typical - cycle-by-cycle peak current limit prevents MOSFET failure under overload or short-circuit conditions. |
Pinout & Package
The MP2498DV-LF-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced 28-pin QFN package (4 mm × 5 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 4, GND) requiring direct connection to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, AGND | Analog Ground Reference | Reference node for FB, EN, COMP, FREQ; must be isolated from high-current return paths to avoid noise coupling. |
| 3, FREQ | Frequency Programming Input | Connects to ground via resistor (e.g., 78.7 kΩ for 1.2 MHz); sets oscillator frequency with ±20% tolerance over temperature. |
| 4, GND (Exposed Pad) | Power Ground & Thermal Path | Primary thermal dissipation path; must be soldered to large copper area and connected to output capacitor ground. |
| 7, 8, VDD | Buck Regulator Supply Rail | Powers internal control circuitry and bootstrap regulators; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor. |
| 10, CTR | Overvoltage Protection Control | Connects to Zener diode cathode; clamps VDD during load dump surges by activating integrated 100 V protection switch. |
| 18, IN (Exposed Pad) | Main Input Power Terminal | High-current input node; exposed pad must connect directly to VIN plane to handle 100 V transients and minimize inductance. |
| 20, BST | Bootstrap Supply for High-Side Driver | Charged via external capacitor to SW; supplies floating gate drive; requires ≥5 V headroom above SW for reliable turn-on. |
| 21, 22, SW | Switch Node | Drives external Schottky rectifier; high dV/dt node requiring tight layout and minimal trace length to reduce EMI. |
| 26, EN | Enable Control Input | Positive logic enable (1.55 V threshold); internal 1 µA pull-up allows floating-enable; supports system-level power sequencing. |
| 27, COMP | Error Amplifier Output | Compensation node for current-mode loop; accepts RC network to set pole-zero placement for stability across load/capacitance ranges. |
| 28, FB | Feedback Input | Compares output voltage (via resistive divider) against 0.8 V internal reference; determines regulation accuracy and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 100 V Load Dump Protection | Eliminates need for external TransZorb and fuse in automotive 12 V/24 V systems subjected to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (100 V/100 ms). |
| 250 mΩ Internal High-Side MOSFET | Reduces conduction loss and board space vs. discrete solutions; enables >95% peak efficiency at 2 A with proper thermal layout. |
| Ceramic Capacitor Stability | Supports low-ESR ceramic output capacitors without external compensation tweaks-simplifies BOM and improves reliability. |
| Programmable Switching Frequency (150 kHz–2 MHz) | Enables EMI optimization: lower frequencies improve light-load efficiency; higher frequencies shrink magnetics and filter size. |
| 120 µA Quiescent Current | Extends battery runtime in always-on automotive modules (e.g., telematics, infotainment standby) without compromising startup behavior. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP4322 | Successor device: 100 V input, 3 A output, 500 kHz–2.2 MHz frequency, 25 µA IQ, integrated LDO for bias rail. | Designed for next-gen automotive ADAS modules requiring lower IQ and higher current; lacks identical CTR-based load dump architecture. | Select MP4322 for new designs needing extended battery life and higher output capability; MP2498DV-LF-Z remains valid for legacy replacement. |
| LM5164QPWPRQ1 | TI part: 100 V input, 0.6 A output, 100 kHz–2.2 MHz, 15 µA IQ, synchronous rectification, no integrated OVP switch. | Requires external TVS/fuse for load dump; suited for low-power remote sensors rather than 2 A power rails. | Choose LM5164QPWPRQ1 only if output current ≤0.6 A and external protection is acceptable; not drop-in for MP2498's 2 A + OVP integration. |
Compared with MP4322, the MP2498DV-LF-Z offers proven 2 A load dump protection in production systems but higher quiescent current; versus LM5164QPWPRQ1, it delivers 3.3× more output current and eliminates external surge protection-critical for cost-sensitive 12 V automotive power nodes.

FAQ
What is the functional status of MP2498DV-LF-Z?
The MP2498DV-LF-Z is officially marked End-of-Life (EOL) by Monolithic Power Systems, with last-time-buy (LTB) availability confirmed through authorized distributors. Aetrix Electronics maintains active inventory and provides full EOL transition support, including cross-reference guidance to MP4322 and technical migration assistance for legacy designs.
Can MP2498DV-LF-Z operate with input voltages below 6.5 V?
No. The absolute minimum operating input voltage is 6.5 V per the Recommended Operating Conditions table. Below this, the internal UVLO (rising threshold 3.0 V) prevents startup, and the 2.6 V internal regulator cannot sustain control circuitry. Cold-crank testing must verify sustained ≥6.5 V at VIN during engine start.
How does the CTR pin function during load dump events?
The CTR pin connects to a Zener diode (e.g., 12 V) referenced to ground. During a 100 V load dump, the integrated 100 V/0.5 Ω protection switch activates between CTR and VDD, clamping VDD to ~12 V and diverting surge current away from the buck regulator's sensitive control circuitry-preserving functionality without external components.
Is an external Schottky diode mandatory for MP2498DV-LF-Z?
Yes. As a non-synchronous buck regulator, MP2498DV-LF-Z requires an external Schottky rectifier (e.g., CMSH2-100M, 100 V/2 A) connected from SW to GND. This diode conducts inductor current when the internal high-side MOSFET is off; omitting it causes catastrophic failure due to unclamped inductive kickback.
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for stability?
Stability is maintained with ≥22 µF ceramic output capacitance (X5R/X7R, 1206 or larger) and ESR <10 mΩ. The datasheet confirms stable operation with 33 µF (e.g., TDK C3225X5R1E336M200AC), and compensation values in Table 3 assume this range. Lower capacitance risks instability under dynamic load steps.
Does MP2498DV-LF-Z support synchronous rectification?
No. MP2498DV-LF-Z is a non-synchronous buck controller with only an integrated high-side MOSFET. It requires an external Schottky diode for low-side conduction. Synchronous alternatives (e.g., MP4322) integrate both high- and low-side switches but are not pin-compatible replacements.
How is thermal performance affected by the exposed pad connection?
The exposed thermal pad (Pin 4, GND) reduces θJA from 50 °C/W to ≤35 °C/W when soldered to ≥4 cm² of 2-oz copper with ≥4 thermal vias. Inadequate pad connection raises junction temperature by >25 °C at 2 A load, triggering thermal shutdown prematurely-verified in thermal characterization reports.
