Product details
Overview
MP28114DG-LF-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a 1.7MHz constant-frequency, current-mode synchronous step-down DC/DC converter optimized for single-cell Li+-powered portable devices. It delivers up to 600mA load current from 2.5V–6V input, regulates output down to 0.6V, integrates PFET/NFET switches, and supports 100% duty-cycle operation for low-dropout applications.
For engineers reviewing the MP28114DG-LF-Z datasheet, MP28114DG-LF-Z pinout, MP28114DG-LF-Z application, or MP28114DG-LF-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-small 2×2mm QFN8 package, 0.6V feedback reference, <0.1µA shutdown current, thermal/short-circuit protection, and fixed- or adjustable-output variants in production-grade automotive-qualified packaging.
Technical Context
The MP28114DG-LF-Z implements slope-compensated current-mode PWM control with a 1.7MHz oscillator, enabling stable regulation across wide input/output voltage ratios and fast transient response. Its internal 0.6V reference feeds an error amplifier that modulates switch on-time via peak-current sensing.
It integrates a 0.44Ω PFET main switch and 0.29Ω NFET synchronous rectifier, eliminating external Schottky diodes. The device enters 100% duty cycle when VIN approaches VOUT, maintaining regulation until limited by PFET current (0.7–1.35A) and thermal shutdown (145°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 1.7MHz ±24% - Enables compact LC filter design with ≤10µH inductors and sub-10µF ceramics. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 6V - Matches single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V) and dual-cell alkaline/nickel chemistries. |
| Output Current | 600mA continuous - Sustained under thermal limits with 2×2mm QFN8 and exposed pad tied to GND plane. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.600V ±2% - Sets precision output voltage via external resistor divider; enables 0.6V–6V programmability. |
| Shutdown Current | <0.1µA - Minimizes battery drain in standby mode for always-on portable subsystems. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 145°C trip point - Self-protects during overload or poor PCB thermal design; auto-recovery on cooldown. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.27V rising edge with 55mV hysteresis - Prevents erratic startup near battery depletion while avoiding chatter. |
Pinout & Package
The MP28114DG-LF-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced 2×2mm QFN8 package with exposed thermal pad (pin 6/8), requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for optimal power dissipation (θJA = 80°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Power switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; requires short, low-inductance routing. |
| 2,3 NC | No connect | Unbonded die pads; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid parasitic coupling or latch-up. |
| 4 EN | Enable control input | Logic-level enable: >1.5V = ON, <0.3V = shutdown (<0.1µA IQ); hysteresis prevents noise-induced toggling. |
| 5 FB | Feedback input | Senses divided output voltage; internal 0.6V reference sets regulation point; high-impedance (±50nA bias). |
| 6,8 GND / Exposed Pad | Power and thermal ground | Primary return path for switch current and thermal conduction; must be solidly connected to ≥2-layer GND plane. |
| 7 IN | Input supply | Accepts 2.5–6V; requires local 2.2µF+ ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2mm of pin to suppress switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated PFET/NFET power stage | Eliminates external Schottky diode; achieves up to 95% efficiency at 3.3V→1.8V/300mA without conduction loss penalty. |
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Maintains regulation down to VIN – VOUT ≈ 0.2V (at 600mA), critical for Li+ end-of-discharge support in handhelds. |
| Current-mode control with slope compensation | Ensures stability at >50% duty cycles; provides inherent cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting and fast line/load response. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Reduces switching frequency and PFET current limit during fault conditions; recovers automatically when fault clears. |
| Ultra-small footprint | 2×2mm QFN8 occupies 4mm² board area - fits within tight space constraints of smartphones, wearables, and hearing aids. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS62231DRYR | 1.8MHz, 600mA, 0.6V ref, same 2×2mm DSBGA but no 100% duty cycle; higher quiescent current (12µA) | Lacks dropout support below 2.7V input; less suitable for deep Li+ discharge scenarios | Select when BGA assembly is preferred and full dropout is not required |
| Analog Devices ADP2119ACPZ-R7 | 1.2MHz, 600mA, 0.6V ref, 3×3mm LFCSP; includes soft-start and power-good, but no thermal shutdown | Requires larger PCB area; lacks autonomous thermal recovery; needs external fault handling | Select when soft-start sequencing or PG signal is mandatory and thermal margin is guaranteed |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and ADP2119ACPZ-R7, the MP28114DG-LF-Z uniquely combines 100% duty-cycle operation, <0.1µA shutdown, and 2×2mm QFN8 in a single Li+-optimized package-making it the only choice for space-constrained, deep-discharge portable systems requiring autonomous fault recovery.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 600mA output?
The MP28114DG-LF-Z maintains regulation down to 2.5V input at full 600mA load, verified across –40°C to +85°C ambient. Below 2.5V, UVLO disables the device; at 2.5V input and 1.8V output, it operates at ~95% duty cycle with typical 0.2V dropout due to PFET RDS(on).
Can the MP28114DG-LF-Z be used with a fixed 1.8V output without external resistors?
No - the MP28114DG-LF-Z is the adjustable version requiring an external resistor divider on the FB pin. For fixed 1.8V output, use MP28114DG-1.8, which integrates the divider internally and replaces FB with OUT pin functionality.
How does the thermal pad (pins 6/8) affect PCB layout and reliability?
The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a dedicated GND copper pour spanning ≥40mm² with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) to inner GND layers. Omitting this reduces θJA from 80°C/W to >120°C/W, risking thermal shutdown at >300mA continuous load.
Is the 1.7MHz switching frequency tolerant of input voltage variation?
Yes - oscillator frequency varies from 1.26MHz to 2.08MHz across 2.5–6V input, confirmed in datasheet Figure 5. This ±24% range is intentional and accommodated by standard LC filter design margins; no external compensation is needed.
Does the MP28114DG-LF-Z support forced PWM or power-save mode?
No - it operates exclusively in forced continuous conduction mode (CCM) using current-mode control. There is no pulse-skipping or discontinuous mode; light-load efficiency is maintained via low quiescent current (400–600µA), not mode switching.
What is the maximum recommended inductor DCR for 600mA operation?
Inductor DC resistance must be ≤200mΩ to limit conduction losses and maintain thermal stability at 600mA. At 0.2Ω DCR, worst-case I²R loss is 72mW - acceptable within the 1.56W max power dissipation limit of the 2×2mm QFN8 package.
How does short-circuit protection behave during sustained output fault?
Under sustained short, the MP28114DG-LF-Z reduces switching frequency and lowers PFET current limit to ~0.7A, limiting power dissipation. Once the short is removed and FB voltage rises above 0.6V, it resumes normal operation without requiring reset or power cycle.
