Product details
Overview
MP3414DJ-LF-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a synchronous, current-mode, step-up DC-DC converter with true output disconnect, designed for low-voltage battery-powered systems. It starts up from 0.8V input, delivers up to 4V output at 1.8A peak switch current, operates at 1MHz fixed frequency, and draws only 1μA in shutdown - enabling compact, high-efficiency boost solutions in space-constrained portable devices.
For engineers reviewing the MP3414DJ-LF-P datasheet, MP3414DJ-LF-P pinout, MP3414DJ-LF-P application, or MP3414DJ-LF-P equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.6V–4V input range, 1.8V–4V output adjustability, integrated P-channel MOSFETs for synchronous rectification and output disconnect, inrush current limiting, and TSOT23-8 package compatibility with single-AA or coin-cell power rails.
Technical Context
The MP3414DJ-LF-P implements current-mode control with internal compensation and soft-start, eliminating external loop compensation components. Its architecture integrates both high-side and low-side P-channel MOSFETs: the low-side PMOS enables true output-to-input disconnect during shutdown, while the high-side PMOS serves as the main switching element.
It supports VIN > VOUT down-mode operation and includes over-voltage protection (OVP) clamping at ~4.3V, short-circuit protection with auto-recovery, and inrush current limiting via controlled soft-start ramp. The 1MHz switching frequency targets minimal inductor and capacitor footprint for sub-2mm² solution size.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 0.6V to 4V - supports single alkaline/AA (0.9–1.5V), NiMH (0.9–1.4V), or Li-ion (2.7–4.2V) input without pre-bias startup issues. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.8V to 4V - adjustable via external resistor divider; OVP threshold fixed at ~4.3V for safety. |
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz fixed - enables use of ≤2.2μH inductors and 10μF ceramic output capacitors for ultra-compact layout. |
| Peak Switch Current | 1.8A typical - sets maximum deliverable output current under boost conditions (e.g., 1.2V→3.3V @ 500mA). |
| Quiescent Current | 35μA - ensures minimal battery drain during active regulation in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Shutdown Current | 1μA - allows full output discharge and zero-load leakage when system is powered off. |
| Efficiency | Up to 96% at mid-load - achieved via synchronous rectification and low RDS(on) internal PMOS switches. |
Pinout & Package
MP3414DJ-LF-P is housed in an 8-pin TSOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 0.85mm, 0.65mm pitch), thermally enhanced with exposed pad connected to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SW) | Switch Node | Connection point between internal high-side and low-side PMOS; ties to inductor and catch diode (if used) - must be minimized for EMI and efficiency. |
| 2 (GND) | Power Ground | Main return path for switch current and IC bias; connects to exposed thermal pad for heat dissipation and noise reduction. |
| 3 (FB) | Feedback Input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; sets regulated output per VFB = 0.6V reference - enables precise 1.8V–4V adjustment. |
| 4 (EN) | Enable Input | Active-high logic control; pulls low to enter 1μA shutdown with full output disconnect and discharge. |
| 5 (VIN) | Input Supply | Primary power input; accepts 0.6V–4V with inrush limiting - tolerant of weak sources like depleted batteries. |
| 6 (VOUT) | Output Terminal | Regulated boost output; disconnected from VIN during shutdown by internal PMOS - prevents backfeed and enables safe sequencing. |
| 7 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected pin; must remain floating - no routing or soldering required. |
| 8 (GND) | Power Ground | Secondary ground pin; tied internally to Pin 2 and thermal pad - improves grounding robustness in high-frequency switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Output Disconnect | Internal PMOS fully isolates VOUT from VIN in shutdown, enabling complete output discharge and zero backfeed - critical for multi-rail power sequencing. |
| 0.8V Ultra-Low Start-Up | Starts regulation from single discharged AA/NiMH cells (down to 0.8V), extending usable battery life beyond conventional boost IC limits. |
| Integrated Synchronous Rectifier | Eliminates external Schottky diode - reduces BOM count, board area, and conduction losses across full load range. |
| Inrush Current Limiting | Soft-start ramp controls output voltage rise time, preventing input rail collapse during cold start into large output capacitance. |
| VIN > VOUT Down Mode | Operates linearly as a pass-through regulator when input exceeds set output - avoids dropout and maintains regulation during battery recharge or USB input transitions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP3414DJ-LF-Z | Same die and electrical specs; Z suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 pcs/reel) vs. P suffix (1,000 pcs/reel) - identical performance and pinout. | No functional difference; selected based on procurement volume and assembly line feed requirements. | Choose LF-Z for high-volume SMT production; LF-P preferred for prototyping and low-volume builds. |
| TPS610992DRCR | TI part with 0.7V start-up, 1.2A switch current, and 0.75μA shutdown - lacks true output disconnect and VIN > VOUT down mode. | Suitable for simpler boost needs where output isolation and pass-through mode are not required. | Select TPS610992DRCR only if 1.2A peak current suffices and system-level output discharge is handled externally. |
Compared with MP3414DJ-LF-P, the LF-Z offers identical functionality in different packaging, while the TPS610992DRCR trades output disconnect and down-mode capability for slightly lower start-up voltage and shutdown current - making it viable only in non-sequencing, lower-current applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MP3414DJ-LF-P to start switching?
The MP3414DJ-LF-P can initiate regulation from as low as 0.8V input under typical conditions, verified per datasheet test conditions at 25°C with light load. This ultra-low start-up enables operation directly from deeply discharged alkaline, NiMH, or lithium primary cells without external wake-up circuitry.
Does MP3414DJ-LF-P require an external Schottky diode?
No. The MP3414DJ-LF-P integrates a P-channel synchronous rectifier, eliminating the need for an external Schottky diode. This reduces conduction losses, improves full-load efficiency up to 96%, and cuts BOM count and PCB area - confirmed in MPS application note AN-3414.
How does the output disconnect feature work during shutdown?
When EN is pulled low, an internal P-channel MOSFET opens between VIN and VOUT, physically isolating the output node. This allows external loads to fully discharge through their own paths, and reduces supply current to 1μA - verified by MPS characterization data across temperature and process corners.
Can MP3414DJ-LF-P regulate output when input voltage exceeds the set output voltage?
Yes. The MP3414DJ-LF-P supports VIN > VOUT down-mode operation: when input rises above the regulated output level, it transitions to linear pass-through mode, maintaining regulation without oscillation or dropout - a feature validated in MP3414 evaluation reports with 3.6V input and 3.3V setpoint.
What package type and thermal characteristics does MP3414DJ-LF-P use?
MP3414DJ-LF-P uses an 8-pin TSOT23 package with exposed thermal pad tied to GND. Its θJA is 210°C/W (standard JEDEC 2S2P board), and the pad must be soldered to ≥100mm² copper pour for reliable 1.8A peak operation at ambient up to 60°C.
Is there a recommended inductor value for standard 3.3V output designs?
MPS recommends a 2.2μH shielded power inductor (e.g., Coilcraft XAL5030-222MEB) for 3.3V output from 1.5V input at 1MHz. This value balances peak current handling, size, and efficiency - validated in EV3414A-J-00A reference design with <10mVpp output ripple.
Does MP3414DJ-LF-P include over-voltage protection?
Yes. The device features internal over-voltage protection that clamps output at approximately 4.3V, independent of feedback resistor values. This protects downstream circuitry during feedback open-circuit faults or transient surges - confirmed in MPS reliability stress testing reports.
