Product details
Overview
MP2610ER-LF-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a monolithic switching Li-ion battery charger IC supporting 1-cell or 2-cell configurations, integrating a 0.2Ω internal power MOSFET, delivering up to 2A programmable charge current, ±0.75% battery voltage accuracy, and fixed 1.1MHz switching frequency - used in portable electronics requiring fast, thermally robust, and NTC-monitored charging.
For engineers reviewing the MP2610ER-LF-P datasheet, MP2610ER-LF-P pinout, MP2610ER-LF-P application, or MP2610ER-LF-P equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-cell configuration flexibility (via CELLS pin), integrated thermal shutdown and cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection, NTC-based temperature window monitoring, and 5V–24V wide-input operation with minimal external components.
Technical Context
The MP2610ER-LF-P implements peak current-mode control with dual feedback loops: COMPI regulates constant-current (CC) mode via current-sense amplifier A2 and RS1, while COMPV regulates constant-voltage (CV) mode via GMV amplifier. Its 1.1MHz oscillator enables compact magnetics and low output ripple.
It features two internal linear regulators (VREF33 at 3.3V/50mA and VREF25 at 2.5V reference-only), programmable timer termination (3-hour total / 30-minute trickle), and automatic recharge at 4.0V/cell with 100mV/cell hysteresis - all coordinated through a dedicated fault-protection state machine covering NTC out-of-window, thermal shutdown (>150°C), UVLO (3.2V), and timer timeout.

Pinout & Package
MP2610ER-LF-P is housed in a thermally enhanced 4mm × 4mm QFN-16 package with exposed pad for improved heat dissipation. The pin layout supports compact, noise-immune layout: high-current paths (IN, SW, BATT, CSP, GND) are grouped on one side; analog/compensation pins (COMPV, COMPI, NTC, TMR) are isolated on the opposite side.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 NTC | NTC thermistor input | Voltage divider node for battery temperature sensing; triggers charge suspend if outside 73%/30% × VREF33 window |
| 2 ACOK | Input supply valid indicator | Open-drain output pulled low when VIN > VBATT + 300mV and above UVLO threshold |
| 3 CHGOK | Charging status indicator | Open-drain output pulled low during active charge; floats upon CV completion or fault |
| 4 VREF33 | 3.3V reference output | Stable 3.3V/50mA supply for external biasing or NTC divider; requires 1µF ceramic bypass |
| 5 VREF25 | 2.5V reference output | High-precision 2.5V reference only - no load capability; must remain unloaded or capacitively coupled <100pF |
| 6 EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; <0.4V = shutdown (2µA IQ), >1.8V = operational |
| 7 CELLS | Cell count configuration | Ground = 1-cell (4.2V), tie to VREF33 = 2-cell (8.4V); floating prohibited |
| 8 COMPV | V-loop compensation | Connect RC network to stabilize CV regulation loop; sets pole/zero for 8.4V output stability |
| 9 COMPI | I-loop compensation | Connect RC network to stabilize CC regulation loop; ensures fast transient response to load steps |
| 10 BATT | Battery positive terminal | Main high-current path to battery anode; routed with wide copper to minimize IR drop |
| 11 CSP | Current sense positive | High-side sense input; forms differential pair with BATT to measure RS1 voltage (200mV full-scale) |
| 12 GND | Power and signal ground | Reference for all analog blocks; exposed pad must be solidly connected to PCB ground plane |
| 13 TMR | Timer capacitor connection | 0.1µA current charges external cap; sets 30-min trickle timeout and 3-hour total charge limit |
| 14 BST | Bootstrap supply | Connects between SW and BST to generate gate drive voltage >VIN for internal high-side MOSFET |
| 15 SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor; high dv/dt node requiring short, shielded trace away from analog pins |
| 16 IN | Input supply | Accepts 5–24V unregulated input; requires local 4.7µF X5R/X7R ceramic decoupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 0.2Ω power MOSFET | Eliminates need for external high-side switch, reducing solution size by >30% and simplifying layout |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported battery configuration for MP2610ER-LF-P?
The MP2610ER-LF-P supports both 1-cell (4.2V nominal) and 2-cell (8.4V nominal) Li-ion battery packs. Configuration is set by the CELLS pin: grounding selects 1-cell mode; connecting to VREF33 selects 2-cell mode. Leaving CELLS floating is prohibited and may cause undefined behavior or latch-up.
How is charge current programmed, and what is the sensing accuracy?
Charge current is programmed using an external sense resistor (RS1) between CSP and BATT pins. With a typical 100mΩ resistor, full-scale current is 2A (ICHG = 200mV / RS1). The current-sense amplifier achieves ±1% gain accuracy over temperature, enabling precise CC regulation within datasheet-specified tolerances.
Does MP2610ER-LF-P support battery temperature monitoring, and how is it implemented?
Yes - MP2610ER-LF-P integrates an NTC thermistor window comparator. A resistor divider formed by VREF33, an external resistor (e.g., 10kΩ), and the battery-pack NTC connects to the NTC pin. Internal thresholds at 73% and 30% of VREF33 detect out-of-range temperatures, suspending charge until the thermistor voltage re-enters the window.
What protection features are built into MP2610ER-LF-P?
MP2610ER-LF-P includes cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting, thermal shutdown at 150°C, input UVLO (3.2V with 200mV hysteresis), NTC-based temperature fault detection, programmable timer termination (30-min trickle / 3-hour total), and automatic recharge at 4.0V/cell with 100mV hysteresis - all implemented in hardware without software intervention.
Can MP2610ER-LF-P operate from a 5V USB source, and what design considerations apply?
Yes - MP2610ER-LF-P operates down to 5V input. For USB 5V applications, ensure VIN–VBATT headroom ≥180mV (per datasheet) and use a low-drop PMOS instead of the blocking diode to maintain sufficient voltage for full 4.2V/cell charging. Also verify inductor saturation current exceeds 2.3A peak under worst-case duty cycle.
What is the role of the VREF25 pin, and can it drive external circuitry?
VREF25 provides a precision 2.5V reference only - it cannot source or sink current beyond leakage (<1µA). It must not be loaded; connecting any capacitor larger than 100pF or resistive load will destabilize internal biasing. Its intended use is as a reference for external comparators or ADCs, not as a power rail.
How does the timer function interact with trickle and main charge phases?
The internal timer uses a 0.1µA current source charging the external TMR capacitor. Trickle mode duration is 30 minutes × (CTMR/0.1µF); total charge time is 3 hours × (CTMR/0.1µF). If trickle mode expires before VBATT reaches 2.8V/cell, charging terminates immediately with CHGOK high and ACOK low.
