Product details
Overview
MP2626GR-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a USB-compliant, bi-directional switch-mode Li-ion battery charger and USB-OTG boost regulator for single-cell 4.2V/4.35V batteries. It delivers up to 2A programmable charge current, supports input-current limiting (400–2200mA), integrates thermal regulation at 120°C, and provides 91% peak efficiency in 5V boost mode at 1A - used in portable power banks and smartphone auxiliary charging systems.
For engineers reviewing the MP2626GR-Z datasheet, MP2626GR-Z pinout, MP2626GR-Z application, or MP2626GR-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-mode operation (charge/boost), programmable battery full voltage (4.2V/4.35V), integrated NTC thermistor interface, input-voltage regulation loop, and QFN-24 (4mm×4mm) package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The MP2626GR-Z implements a synchronous buck-boost architecture with independent control loops for input current, input voltage, battery charge current, battery voltage, and die temperature. Its MODE pin selects between charge mode (EN-controlled, three-phase TC/CC/CV profile) and boost mode (VBATT-to-5V conversion with output current limit and short-circuit protection).
In charge mode, it enforces USB-compliant input current limits via ILIM resistor programming and regulates VIN using the REG feedback pin; in boost mode, it uses OLIM to set output current limit and FB for 5V output regulation, with built-in over-voltage (6.2V) and weak-battery (2.5V) shutdown thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Charge Voltage | 4.2V or 4.35V selectable via VB pin; ±0.5% accuracy at 25°C ensures safe Li-ion termination. |
| Max Charge Current | 2A programmable via ISET resistor; enables fast charging while maintaining thermal safety. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V–6V operating; 20V absolute max protects against adapter transients. |
| Boost Efficiency | 91% at 1A output; minimizes battery drain during USB peripheral powering. |
| Thermal Regulation | 120°C die temperature limit with foldback; prevents thermal runaway without full shutdown. |
| Switching Frequency | 600kHz or 1.2MHz selectable via FREQ pin; balances EMI and inductor size. |
| NTC Interface | Dedicated NTC pin with 65.3–36% resistance threshold range; supports battery temperature monitoring per JEITA. |
Pinout & Package
MP2626GR-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-24 package (4mm × 4mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed PGND pad for efficient heat dissipation. Pin 19 (PGND) and the exposed pad must be soldered to a common ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 FREQ | Frequency select | GND = 600kHz; float/high = 1.2MHz - adjusts switching frequency for EMI or efficiency trade-offs. |
| 4 ILIM | Input current limit set | Resistor to GND programs 400–2200mA input current limit for USB compliance. |
| 11 ISET | Charge current programming | Resistor to GND sets CC charge current from 900mA to 2A with ±10% tolerance. |
| 12 OLIM | Boost output current limit | Resistor to GND configures boost current limit (e.g., 1.12A typical with 100kΩ). |
| 14 VB | Battery full voltage select | Floating/high = 4.2V; GND = 4.35V - selects Li-ion/Li-Po termination voltage. |
| 23 MODE | Mode control | High = boost mode (VBATT→5V); Low = charge mode - enables bi-directional power path. |
| 17 BOOST | Boost status indicator | Open-drain low-active signal confirms active boost operation. |
| 18 CHG | Charge status indicator | Open-drain low-active signal indicates active charging or suspended state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| USB-OTG boost with current limit | Programmable 0.9–1.5A output current limit and integrated short-circuit protection prevent system damage during peripheral power delivery. |
| Input voltage regulation | REG pin feedback loop maintains stable VIN during high-current charging - avoids USB port brownout under load. |
| Three-phase charge algorithm | Automated trickle (250mA)/constant-current/constant-voltage sequencing with auto-recharge at 4.015V ensures full capacity and longevity. |
| Integrated thermal foldback | Reduces charge current before reaching 150°C shutdown - sustains operation under sustained high-power conditions. |
| Battery reverse leakage blocking | Internal MOSFET blocks >15μA battery discharge when VIN=0 - extends shelf life in standby. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-mode Li-ion charging applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ24195RGER | Single-input (no native input-voltage regulation); fixed 4.2V charge voltage; no programmable boost current limit. | Lacks input-voltage clamp - unsuitable for unstable USB sources; lower integration reduces BOM count but limits flexibility. | Select when cost-sensitive designs require proven TI ecosystem support and do not need adaptive input regulation. |
| RT9466GQW | Supports 4.35V charge voltage and NTC monitoring, but no boost mode - charge-only function. | Cannot power USB peripherals; requires separate boost IC for OTG functionality - increases board area and complexity. | Choose only for charge-only applications where MP2626GR-Z's dual-mode capability is unnecessary. |
Compared with BQ24195RGER and RT9466GQW, MP2626GR-Z uniquely integrates USB-compliant input regulation, selectable 4.2V/4.35V termination, and programmable boost current in one QFN-24 package - enabling compact, self-contained power-bank and OTG designs without secondary regulators.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the REG pin?
The REG pin serves as the feedback input for the input-voltage regulation loop. By connecting it to a resistor divider from VIN to GND, the MP2626GR-Z actively reduces charge current to maintain VIN above a programmed threshold - preventing USB port undervoltage during high-current charging.
How does the MP2626GR-Z handle battery temperature monitoring?
It uses the NTC pin to interface with a negative-temperature-coefficient thermistor. The IC compares the thermistor voltage against rising/falling thresholds (65.3–36% R25) to enforce JEITA-compliant charging - suspending charge outside 0°C–50°C and providing hysteresis to prevent oscillation near trip points.
Can the MP2626GR-Z operate without an external inductor?
No. The MP2626GR-Z is a synchronous switch-mode charger requiring an external 4.7µH inductor (as specified in the typical application circuit). Omitting the inductor disables both charge and boost functions, as the internal power switches rely on it for energy transfer and current sensing.
What happens when the MODE pin is pulled high but no battery is connected?
The IC enters boost mode but immediately disables output due to weak-battery detection (VBATT < 2.5V). The BOOST pin remains low, and the device draws only 2.0mA quiescent current - preventing uncontrolled operation or damage in open-battery conditions.
Is the 4.35V charge voltage option compatible with standard Li-ion cells?
Yes - 4.35V is specified for high-capacity Li-polymer and certain Li-ion chemistries. The MP2626GR-Z achieves ±0.5% accuracy at 25°C and includes battery over-voltage protection at 103.3% of the selected full voltage, ensuring safe operation across temperature and aging.
How is thermal shutdown triggered and recovered?
Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C junction temperature. Once tripped, the device halts all switching and remains off until die temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~135°C), after which normal operation resumes automatically without external reset.
Does the MP2626GR-Z support USB BC1.2 or proprietary fast-charge protocols?
No - it implements USB 2.0-compliant current limiting (up to 500mA default, programmable to 2.2A) but lacks D+/D− detection or protocol negotiation. It relies on host-side signaling (e.g., PWIN logic) to determine input presence, not enumeration-based fast-charge handshaking.
