Product details
Overview
MP28119EG-LF-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a 1.7MHz constant-frequency, current-mode synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in a 2×2 mm QFN-8 package. It delivers up to 600mA load current from a 2.5V–6V input, provides fixed 1.0V output (as indicated by the -1.0 suffix in the base part), integrates main PFET and synchronous NFET switches, supports 100% duty cycle for low-dropout operation, and includes output discharge functionality for controlled power-down sequencing in portable Li+-battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MP28119EG-LF-Z datasheet, MP28119EG-LF-Z pinout, MP28119EG-LF-Z application, or MP28119EG-LF-Z equivalent, this device is selected for ultra-compact, high-efficiency core voltage regulation where input-to-output differential is minimal, thermal constraints are tight, and shutdown leakage (<0.1μA) and fast transient response under dynamic load are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The MP28119EG-LF-Z implements slope-compensated current-mode PWM control with a fixed 1.7MHz oscillator, enabling stable regulation and cycle-by-cycle current limiting across line and load variations. Its internal feedback reference is precisely trimmed to 0.600V (±2%), and it uses an integrated resistor divider to fix VOUT at 1.0V - eliminating external FB resistors and simplifying layout.
It operates down to 2.5V input while maintaining full 600mA capability, achieves 100% duty cycle during dropout, and incorporates dedicated circuitry to activate an internal discharge MOSFET upon EN deactivation - discharging the output capacitor through a 100Ω path to prevent floating rail conditions during system reset or sleep transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 1.7 MHz - enables use of small 2.2 μH inductors and compact ceramic capacitors, reducing board area by >40% vs. 500 kHz converters. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA - sufficient for powering single-core microprocessors, DSPs, or RF subsystems from a single Li+ cell without thermal derating at TA ≤ +85°C. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 6 V - covers full discharge curve of 1-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V nominal) plus margin for USB-powered or dual-supply backup scenarios. |
| Fixed Output Voltage | 1.0 V ±3% - factory-trimmed for core logic supply in mobile SoCs; eliminates external resistor network and associated layout sensitivity. |
| Shutdown Current | <0.1 μA - ensures negligible battery drain during deep-sleep modes in always-on sensor nodes or wearable devices. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 145 °C - protects die integrity during sustained overload or poor PCB copper pour; auto-recovery after cooldown. |
| Efficiency Peak | 89% at 300 mA / 5 VIN → 1 VOUT - minimizes power loss and heat generation in thermally constrained enclosures such as smartphones or earbuds. |
Pinout & Package
MP28119EG-LF-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced 2 mm × 2 mm, 0.4 mm pitch QFN-8 package with exposed thermal pad (connected to GND). The package meets JEDEC MO-229 VCCD-3 standard and supports reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Power switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, wide trace and adjacent ground pour for EMI control. |
| 2, 3 NC | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no routing or solder mask opening required. |
| 4 EN | Enable control input | Logic-level input with 1.5 V turn-on / 0.3 V turn-off thresholds; drives internal bias circuits and discharge FET activation. |
| 5 FB / OUT | Feedback or output sense | In MP28119EG-1.0 variant, this pin connects to internal fixed-divider - not used externally; bypass with 10 nF if unused. |
| 6, 8 GND | Ground reference | Primary signal and power return; exposed pad (Pin 6/8) must be soldered to ≥2 cm² internal/external GND plane for θJA = 80°C/W. |
| 7 IN | Input supply | Accepts 2.5–6 V; requires local 4.7 μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin for low-impedance high-frequency decoupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated PFET (0.42 Ω RDS(on)) + NFET (0.28 Ω RDS(on)) eliminates external Schottky diode, improving efficiency by 8–12% at light loads. |
| Output discharge function | Internal 100 Ω discharge MOSFET activates automatically on EN=LOW, discharging VOUT to <100 mV within 10 ms - prevents back-powering of upstream rails. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Enables dropout mode when VIN ≈ VOUT; maintains regulation down to VIN = 2.5 V with only ~120 mV drop across internal switches at 600 mA. |
| Short-circuit protection | Reduces switching frequency and lowers PFET current limit during fault; recovers autonomously once VFB rises above 0.6 V - no latch-up or manual reset needed. |
| Ultra-small footprint | 2 mm × 2 mm QFN-8 occupies just 4 mm² PCB area - ideal for space-constrained modules like Bluetooth LE audio transceivers or optical sensor subassemblies. |
Applications

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 | 1.7 MHz, 600 mA, 1.0 V fixed, 2.05 mm × 2.05 mm DSBGA-6 - lacks output discharge and 100% duty cycle support. | Requires external discharge circuit for pre-bias safety; unsuitable for ultra-low-VIN dropout scenarios below 2.7 V. | Select when board-level discharge control is already implemented and footprint tolerance allows DSBGA handling. |
| Analog Devices ADP2119ACPZ-R7 | 1.2 MHz, 600 mA, adjustable via FB, 2 mm × 2 mm LFCSP-8 - includes soft-start but no integrated output discharge MOSFET. | Needs external RC network for controlled discharge; lower switching frequency increases inductor size by ~35% for same ripple. | Prefer when adjustable output (0.6–5.5 V) and soft-start sequencing are mandatory, and discharge is managed elsewhere. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and ADP2119ACPZ-R7, MP28119EG-LF-Z uniquely combines fixed 1.0 V output, 100% duty cycle, and autonomous output discharge in a QFN-8 - reducing BOM count by two passive components and enabling simpler, more reliable power-down behavior in battery-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for the exposed thermal pad of MP28119EG-LF-Z?
The exposed pad (Pins 6 and 8) must be soldered to a minimum 2 cm² continuous GND copper pour on at least one internal layer. For optimal thermal performance (θJA = 80°C/W), connect the pad to ≥4 cm² total GND area using ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, filled or capped) spaced evenly under the pad.
Can MP28119EG-LF-Z operate with an input voltage below 2.5 V?
No - the absolute minimum input voltage is 2.5 V per the Recommended Operating Conditions table. Below this, UVLO remains active (threshold = 2.15–2.45 V rising edge), preventing startup. Operation below 2.5 V risks undefined behavior and is not characterized or guaranteed.
Is the 1.0 V output voltage adjustable using external resistors?
No - MP28119EG-LF-Z is the fixed-output variant (MP28119EG-1.0). Its FB/OUT pin connects internally to a precision resistor divider; external resistor networks are incompatible and will disrupt regulation. For adjustable output, use MP28119EG (no suffix) instead.
Does the output discharge function activate during normal operation or only at shutdown?
The output discharge MOSFET activates exclusively when EN is driven below 0.3 V (shutdown state). It does not engage during normal regulation, light-load pulse-skipping, or transient events - ensuring stable output during active operation.
What is the typical inductor value recommended for MP28119EG-LF-Z in a 5 VIN → 1 VOUT application?
A 2.2 μH shielded power inductor with ≥800 mA saturation current and <200 mΩ DCR is recommended. This value balances ripple current (~180 mA peak-to-peak), efficiency (>87% at 300 mA), and physical size - matching the typical application circuit in the datasheet.
How does the MP28119EG-LF-Z respond to a short-circuit event on its output?
Upon short-circuit detection, the device reduces switching frequency and lowers the PFET current limit to ~0.8 A. This limits fault current and power dissipation. Once the short is removed and FB voltage recovers to ≥0.6 V, normal operation resumes automatically without requiring EN toggling or external intervention.
