Product details
Overview
MP2625BGL-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a 2A synchronous buck switching battery charger IC with integrated NVDC (Narrow Voltage DC) power path management for single-cell Li-ion batteries. It delivers regulated SYS output voltage (programmable 4.08–4.4V or auto-adaptive 3.45–4.5V), supports dual-input USB/DC adapter (4–10V), and implements five independent control loops including input current limit (up to 2A), constant charge current (2A typ.), and thermal foldback. It enables immediate system operation with deeply discharged batteries in portable tablets and smartphones.
For engineers reviewing the MP2625BGL-Z datasheet, MP2625BGL-Z pinout, MP2625BGL-Z application, or MP2625BGL-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.6MHz switching frequency, integrated 40mΩ BATT-to-SYS ideal diode, programmable IIN via ILIM/M0/M1, NTC-based battery temperature monitoring, and QFN-20 (3mm×4mm) package with thermal pad.
Technical Context
The MP2625BGL-Z integrates a fixed-frequency (1.6MHz) synchronous buck converter with adaptive SYS voltage regulation-maintaining VSYS ≈ VBATT + 200mV when VBATT > 3.4V and clamping at 3.6V when VBATT ≤ 3.4V-to minimize charging loss while ensuring system boot. Its NVDC architecture decouples system power and battery charging using an internal 40mΩ MOSFET as a bidirectional power path switch.
Five closed-loop controls operate concurrently: input current limit (via ILIM pin or M0/M1 logic), input voltage clamp (via VLIM resistor divider), constant-current/constant-voltage battery charge (ISET-programmed up to 2A), terminal battery voltage regulation (4.2V ±32mV), and on-die thermal foldback (120°C activation, 150°C shutdown). All loops share a unified control engine that prioritizes system load over charging current.

Pinout & Package
MP2625BGL-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-20 package (3mm × 4mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 5 = PGND). The package supports high-power dissipation (θJA = 48°C/W) and requires PCB thermal vias under the pad for reliable 2A operation.

| 15 (ISET) | Charge current programming | Resistor to AGND sets ICC (e.g., 1.05kΩ = 2.0A); floating disables charging. |
| 16 (NTC) | Battery temperature sense | Interfaces with NCP18XH103F thermistor to halt charging outside 0°C–50°C range. |
| 17 (ILIM) | Adapter input current set | Resistor to AGND programs IIN up to 2A; 1.14V reference enables precise current limiting. |
| 18 (TMR) | Charge safety timer | Capacitor to AGND sets trickle/CC timeout (e.g., 0.1µF = 43min trickle, 6.2hr CC); floating disables timer. |
| 19 (VLIM) | Input voltage clamp | Resistor divider from IN to AGND sets VIN clamp threshold (e.g., 1.52V reference → 4.5V clamp with R1/R2=1.96). |
| 20 (VCC) | Internal LDO output | 4.5V ±0.1V regulated supply for internal circuitry; powers CHGOK/ACOK pull-ups and logic. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-cell Li-ion switching charger applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ25611DRTWR | Lower max charge current (1.5A), no integrated BATT-to-SYS FET, requires external ideal diode for NVDC. | Lacks autonomous BATT-to-SYS power supplement; unsuitable for systems requiring uninterrupted operation during input dropout. | Select if cost sensitivity outweighs need for seamless power path and 2A charging capability. |
| IP2328TR | Higher input voltage limit (13.5V), but only 1.2A max charge current and no programmable SYSFB voltage. | Fixed 4.2V SYS output limits flexibility for systems needing >4.2V rail (e.g., USB PD sink negotiation). | Prefer for ruggedized industrial handhelds with wide-input adapters but lower system power demands. |
Compared with BQ25611DRTWR and IP2328TR, MP2625BGL-Z uniquely integrates a 40mΩ BATT-to-SYS FET enabling true NVDC operation, supports 2A charging with 1.6MHz switching, and offers user-programmable SYS voltage-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-performance portable devices requiring robust power path autonomy.

FAQ
What is the function of the BST pin on MP2625BGL-Z?
The BST (bootstrap) pin provides a floating gate-drive supply for the high-side NMOS switch. A capacitor must be placed between BST and SW to generate a voltage ~5V above SW, enabling full enhancement of the internal high-side FET during 100% duty-cycle operation near VIN ≈ VSYS. This ensures efficient buck regulation down to low input-output differentials.
How does MP2625BGL-Z handle input power removal during system operation?
Upon input removal, the internal 40mΩ BATT-to-SYS MOSFET turns on automatically, allowing the battery to power the SYS rail without interruption. This ideal-diode behavior-enabled by real-time comparison of VBATT vs. VSYS-ensures zero-downtime system operation, critical for GPS and medical handhelds where power continuity is mandatory.
Can MP2625BGL-Z charge a battery while the system is powered off?
No. The EN pin must be asserted low to enable charging; when EN is high (disabled), all internal regulators and charge circuits shut down, reducing quiescent current to 3µA. However, if EN is held low and input is present, charging proceeds even if the host system is unpowered-provided SYS load is disconnected or negligible.
What is the purpose of the VLIM pin and how is it configured?
The VLIM pin sets the input voltage clamp threshold using a resistor divider from IN to AGND. When the divided voltage reaches 1.52V, the MP2625BGL-Z reduces buck duty cycle to hold VIN at the programmed level-protecting downstream circuits from overvoltage during adapter hot-plug or transient events. For a 4.5V clamp, use R1 = 196kΩ and R2 = 100kΩ.
Does MP2625BGL-Z support USB BC1.2 or proprietary fast-charge protocols?
No. MP2625BGL-Z implements fixed USB2.0 (450mA) and USB3.0 (825mA) input current limits via M0/M1 pins but lacks D+/D− detection or protocol negotiation circuitry. It is compatible with standard USB ports and fixed-voltage adapters only-not Qualcomm Quick Charge, USB PD, or Samsung AFC.
How is battery temperature monitoring implemented on MP2625BGL-Z?
MP2625BGL-Z uses the NTC pin to interface with a standard NCP18XH103F 10kΩ thermistor inside the battery pack. The IC applies a bias current, measures voltage at NTC, and compares it to factory-trimmed thresholds (65% VCC at 0°C, 33.5% VCC at 50°C) to disable charging outside the safe thermal window-without requiring external ADC or microcontroller intervention.
What is the minimum recommended inductor value for MP2625BGL-Z?
The datasheet specifies a 1.2µH shielded power inductor (e.g., Coilcraft XAL6060-102MEB) as the minimum value for stable 2A operation at 1.6MHz. Using <1.2µH risks peak current exceeding 5A, triggering the internal 4A peak current limit and causing audible switching noise or reduced efficiency under heavy load.
