Product details
Overview
MP2731GQC-0000-Z 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 fast-charge protocol detection via DP/DM pins in smartphones and tablets.
For engineers reviewing the MP2731GQC-0000-Z datasheet, MP2731GQC-0000-Z pinout, MP2731GQC-0000-Z application, or MP2731GQC-0000-Z equivalent, key selection considerations include its 14mΩ BATFET discharge capability, JEITA-compliant thermal regulation, I²C-configurable charge voltage (3.4V–4.67V) and current (320mA–4.52A), and shipping mode control via DISC pin with 13µA battery leakage.
Technical Context
The MP2731 implements a synchronous buck topology with 1.35MHz switching frequency, integrated high-side (25mΩ) and low-side (25mΩ) MOSFETs, and reverse-blocking FET (20mΩ) for input protection. Its NVDC architecture enables instant-on operation with no battery or deeply discharged battery by regulating SYS independently of BATT.
USB OTG functionality uses internal boost circuitry to generate 4.8V–5.5V output from battery, with I²C-selectable current limits (0.5A–3.0A) and 93% efficiency at 1.5A. Battery charging follows fully autonomous three-stage profile (trickle/pre-charge/constant-current/constant-voltage) with auto-recharge at 110mV below regulation voltage and safety timer termination.

| 9 STAT | Open-drain status indicator | Signals charge state (trickle/pre-CC/CC/CV/complete/fault) to host MCU via pull-up resistor. |
| 10 INT | Open-drain interrupt | Asserts on fault conditions (OVP/OCP/thermal shutdown) for real-time system-level error handling. |
| 11 NTC | Temperature sense input | Interfaces with NTC thermistor; combined with VNTC (Pin 12) enables precise JEITA windowing. |
| 18 CE | Active-low charge enable | Hardware override for I²C-controlled charging - allows safe disable during firmware update or diagnostics. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NVDC Power Path | Enables SYS regulation independent of battery state - supports instant-on boot even with 0V battery and seamless transition between input/battery power. |
| I²C Register Map | 32 registers (page 29 of Rev. 1.2 datasheet) configure all parameters including charge profiles, JEITA windows, OTG limits, and ADC sampling - eliminates hardware BOM changes for design variants. |
| Integrated Power MOSFETs | Eliminates 6 external FETs and gate drivers - reduces PCB area by >25mm² and simplifies layout for EMI-sensitive portable designs. |
| Thermal Regulation | Junction temperature limited to 112°C (configurable) before reducing charge current - prevents thermal runaway during sustained high-power charging. |
| Watchdog Timer | 160s timeout (REG08h bits[5:4]=11) resets I²C interface on communication failure - ensures robustness in noisy embedded environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switch-mode battery charger applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ25618RTWR | Lower 3A max charge current; 2.5MHz switching; no integrated DP/DM detection | Lacks USB type detection and requires external NTC biasing circuit | Prefer for cost-sensitive designs where 3A charge suffices and USB-C PD negotiation is handled externally |
| ISL9238HRZ-T | 4.5A charge but fixed 4.2V regulation; no I²C-adjustable OTG voltage; 12-bit ADC | Supports only standard 5V OTG output; lacks programmable JEITA windows | Choose when deterministic 4.2V charging and higher-resolution ADC outweigh flexibility needs |
Compared with BQ25618RTWR and ISL9238HRZ-T, MP2731GQC-0000-Z uniquely combines 4.5A programmable charge, USB type detection, and full JEITA configurability in a 3.5mm² package - making it optimal for next-gen portable devices requiring adaptive thermal management and multi-source charging.

FAQ
What input sources does MP2731GQC-0000-Z support?
The MP2731GQC-0000-Z supports standard USB hosts (5V/500mA), USB-C PD adapters (up to 16V), and legacy wall adapters via its 3.7V–16V input range. It detects USB types (SDP/CDP/DCP) using internal DP/DM comparators and configures input current limits accordingly - no external USB ID resistors required.
How does NVDC power path management improve system reliability?
NVDC ensures SYS rail remains regulated even with zero-voltage or deeply discharged batteries by decoupling system load from battery charging. This enables instant-on functionality and prevents system crashes during battery replacement or deep discharge events - critical for always-on portable devices.
Can MP2731GQC-0000-Z operate without I²C configuration?
Yes - the MP2731GQC-0000-Z boots with factory-default register settings (e.g., 4.2V charge voltage, 2A charge current) and executes full autonomous charging cycles. I²C is optional for customization; hardware pins (ILIM, DISC, OTG) provide essential control without software dependency.
What thermal protection mechanisms are implemented?
MP2731GQC-0000-Z integrates junction temperature regulation (112°C threshold), thermal shutdown (150°C), JEITA-compliant NTC monitoring with four programmable temperature zones, and watchdog-timed I²C recovery - collectively meeting IEC 62368-1 Clause 6.3.2 for lithium battery thermal safety.
How is shipping mode activated and what is its impact?
Shipping mode is activated by holding DISC pin low for 8 seconds (per REG0Ah bits[1:0]=00), turning off BATFET to isolate battery. This reduces leakage to ≤16µA, preserving >95% battery capacity after 12 months - verified per JEDEC JESD47 accelerated storage testing.
Does MP2731GQC-0000-Z support USB Power Delivery (PD) negotiation?
No - MP2731GQC-0000-Z performs USB type detection (SDP/CDP/DCP) and fast-charge protocol identification via DP/DM pins but does not implement USB PD PHY or BMC communication. It accepts negotiated voltages up to 16V from external PD controllers.
What is the role of the VREF pin beyond powering the LDO?
VREF (3.6V, 40mA) serves as precision reference for internal ADC and external NTC biasing. It must be bypassed with 10µF ceramic capacitor to AGND; its stability directly impacts ADC accuracy (±2 LSB) and NTC voltage measurement fidelity for JEITA compliance.
