Product details
Overview
MP2731GQC-0000-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a 4.5A, I²C-controlled switch-mode battery charger IC for single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer batteries, featuring NVDC power path management, USB OTG boost (up to 3.0A at 5V), and integrated ADC for voltage/current/temperature monitoring. It operates across 3.7V–16V input, delivers 92% charge efficiency at 3A, and supports automatic charging cycles with JEITA-compliant thermal regulation - deployed in smartphones, tablets, and wireless cameras.
For engineers reviewing the MP2731GQC-0000-P datasheet, MP2731GQC-0000-P pinout, MP2731GQC-0000-P application, or MP2731GQC-0000-P equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1.35MHz buck topology, QFN-26 (3.5mm×3.5mm) package with 26-pin terminal mapping, NVDC instant-on capability with deeply discharged batteries, and configurable USB DP/DM fast-charge protocol detection.
Technical Context
The MP2731 implements a synchronous buck converter with integrated 25mΩ high-side and low-side MOSFETs, operating at 1.1–1.6MHz (typ. 1.35MHz) to minimize external component count while maintaining >92% efficiency at 3A charge current. Its NVDC architecture decouples system power from battery charge path, enabling instant-on operation even with zero or deeply discharged battery voltage.
USB OTG functionality is implemented via a boost converter controlled by I²C registers and enabled through the OTG pin; it delivers 4.8–5.5V (adjustable) with up to 3.0A output and 93% efficiency at 1.5A. Battery discharge path uses a 14mΩ BATFET supporting up to 8.5A continuous current, with DISC pin control for shipping mode (13µA battery leakage) and system reset.

Pinout & Package
MP2731GQC-0000-P is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-26 package (3.5mm × 3.5mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Pin numbering follows standard top-view layout; pins 5 and 6 are PGND, pin 17 is BATT, and pin 22 is DISC for shipping mode activation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 25 (DP, DM) | USB data pair interface | Detects USB source type (SDP/CDP/DCP) and enables fast-charge negotiation without host CPU involvement. |
| 2 (IN) | Main power input | Accepts 3.7–16V input; withstands up to 22V transient - eliminates need for external OVP circuitry. |
| 9 (STAT) | Open-drain status indicator | Signals charge state (trickle/pre-charge/CC/CV/complete/fault) via pulsed or static logic levels to MCU GPIO. |
| 10 (INT) | Open-drain interrupt output | Asserts on fault events (OVP, thermal shutdown, JEITA violation) - enables real-time host response without polling. |
| 11 (NTC), 12 (VNTC) | Thermal sensing interface | VNTC supplies bias voltage; NTC connects to thermistor network - implements full JEITA profile with 4-zone temperature control. |
| 18 (CE) | Hardware charge enable | Active-low pin that overrides I²C register setting - provides fail-safe hardware disable for safety-critical systems. |
| 22 (DISC) | Battery disconnect control | Pull-low for ≥8s enters shipping mode (BATFET off); short pulse triggers system reset - replaces discrete reset IC. |
| 23 (OTG) | Boost mode enable | Hardware override for OTG function - suspends boost when pulled low, independent of I²C command state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NVDC Power Path Management | Enables instant-on system boot with no battery or <2.5V battery; ideal diode mode supplements SYS from BATT during input dropout. |
| I²C-Controlled Parameter Tuning | Registers configure charge voltage (3.4–4.67V), current (320–4520mA), termination threshold (120–720mA), and JEITA windows - no firmware recompile needed. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery charge management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ25618RTWR | Lower max charge current (3A vs. 4.5A); no integrated USB DP/DM detection; requires external NTC biasing. | Lacks native USB type detection and OTG boost - needs companion IC for full USB-C PD support. | Select when cost-sensitive design accepts reduced current headroom and external USB ID logic. |

FAQ
What input voltage sources does MP2731GQC-0000-P support?
The MP2731GQC-0000-P supports 3.7V–16V input, including standard USB hosts (5V/500mA), USB-C PD (9V/12V/15V), and high-power wall adapters. Its 22V absolute maximum rating protects against transients, and integrated DP/DM pins auto-detect USB source type (SDP/CDP/DCP) and negotiate fast-charge current without host intervention.
How does NVDC power path management improve system reliability?
NVDC decouples the system rail (SYS) from the battery (BATT), allowing the device to power on instantly even with a dead or missing battery. During charging, SYS is powered directly from the input source while simultaneously charging the battery; if input is removed, SYS seamlessly transitions to battery power via ideal diode operation - eliminating brownouts and boot failures.
Can MP2731GQC-0000-P operate in USB On-The-Go mode without firmware control?
Yes. OTG mode can be enabled via I²C register write or hardware assertion of the OTG pin. Once active, it delivers regulated 4.8–5.5V (I²C-configurable) up to 3.0A from the battery to the input bus. The OTG pin also allows hardware suspension of boost operation - enabling deterministic power-off sequencing independent of software state.
What thermal protection mechanisms are built into MP2731GQC-0000-P?
The MP2731GQC-0000-P implements three-tier thermal protection: (1) JEITA-compliant NTC monitoring with four user-configurable temperature zones (cold/cool/warm/hot), (2) thermal regulation limiting junction temperature to 112°C, and (3) hard thermal shutdown at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis. All events trigger the INT pin for host notification.
Is shipping mode activation reversible without reprogramming?
Yes. Shipping mode is activated by holding the DISC pin low for ≥8 seconds, which disables the BATFET and reduces battery leakage to 13µA. To exit, apply normal input voltage (VIN > UVLO threshold) and issue an I²C command to clear the shipping mode bit - no factory reprogramming or soldering required.
Does MP2731GQC-0000-P require external current-sense resistors?
No. The MP2731GQC-0000-P integrates high-side and low-side MOSFETs with internal current sensing for both charge and discharge paths. Input current limit is set either by the ILIM pin resistor or I²C register - eliminating external sense resistors and associated PCB area and power loss.
How is battery voltage regulation accuracy maintained across temperature?
Battery voltage regulation accuracy is ±0.5% at 4.2V (per REG07h settings), with built-in compensation for temperature drift. The integrated 8-bit ADC monitors VBATT with ±2 LSB accuracy (20mV LSB), and the JEITA engine dynamically adjusts charge parameters based on real-time NTC readings - ensuring consistent full-charge cutoff across -40°C to +125°C.
