Product details
Overview
MP4313GRE-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a 45V, 3A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated 48mΩ high-side and 20mΩ low-side MOSFETs, frequency spread spectrum (FSS), and 18μA sleep-mode quiescent current. It operates from 3.3V to 45V input, supports automotive cold-crank via low-dropout mode, and delivers regulated output in radios and battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MP4313GRE-P datasheet, MP4313GRE-P pinout, MP4313GRE-P application, or MP4313GRE-P equivalent, key selection criteria include its 350–1000kHz configurable switching frequency, 100ns minimum on-time, AAM/FCCM mode selectability, and QFN-20 wettable flank package for automated optical inspection and thermal reliability.
Technical Context
The MP4313GRE-P implements current-mode control with fast loop response and includes frequency foldback at startup to prevent inductor current runaway. Its dual-mode operation-Advanced Asynchronous Modulation (AAM) for light-load efficiency and Forced Continuous Conduction Mode (FCCM) for ripple-sensitive loads-is selected via the MODE pin.
It integrates symmetric VIN routing and FSS to reduce EMI, meets CISPR25 Class 5 radiated/conducted emissions limits, and provides out-of-phase SYNCO clock output for multi-converter synchronization without phase conflict.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.3V to 45V - Supports wide automotive battery transients including cold-crank (down to ~3.3V) and load-dump conditions. |
| Output Current | Up to 3A continuous - Sustained delivery with internal MOSFETs rated 48mΩ (HS) and 20mΩ (LS) at typical VGS. |
| Quiescent Current | 18μA in sleep mode - Enables >1-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors or telematics modules. |
| Switching Frequency | 350kHz to 1000kHz, configurable via FREQ pin resistor - Allows optimization of size (higher fSW) vs. efficiency (lower fSW) and EMI compliance. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.815V ±8mV - Enables precise output regulation from 0.815V up to 0.95×VIN using external resistor divider. |
| Power Good Threshold | 95%–105% of nominal VOUT - Open-drain PG signal asserts only when output is within tight regulation window. |
| Min On-Time | 100ns - Supports high step-down ratios (e.g., 45V→3.3V) at 470kHz without pulse-skipping instability. |
Pinout & Package
MP4313GRE-P is housed in a QFN-20 (4mm × 4mm) wettable flank package with exposed thermal pad, supporting enhanced solder joint inspection and thermal dissipation (θJA = 23°C/W on EVQ4313-R-00A PCB).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MODE | Mode selection input | Logic-high enables FCCM; logic-low enables AAM - must be actively driven, not floated. |
| 2 SYNCIN | External clock input | Accepts 350–1000kHz clock; internal high-Z requires ≤51kΩ pull-down if unused. |
| 3,12 VIN | Main power input | Supplies control circuitry and HS-FET; requires local ceramic decoupling to PGND. |
| 4,5,10,11 PGND | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for switch node current; must be connected to thermal pad and VIN decoupling. |
| 6 BST | Bootstrap supply | Connects BST-to-SW capacitor (typically 0.1μF) to gate-drive HS-FET above VIN rail. |
| 7,8 SW | Switch node output | Drives external inductor; high di/dt node requiring tight layout and Kelvin PGND connection. |
| 9 EN | Enable control | Active-high (VEN_RISING = 1.0V); 190mV hysteresis prevents chatter during slow-rising supplies. |
| 13 SYNCO | Synchronized clock output | 180° out-of-phase with internal oscillator or inverted SYNCIN - float if unused. |
| 14 PG | Power good indicator | Open-drain output pulled high only when VOUT is within ±5% of target - requires external pull-up. |
| 15 NC | No-connect terminal | Must be tied to VCC or VOUT ≥3V; floating causes undefined behavior. |
| 16 VCC | Bias supply | Internal LDO output; requires 1μF ceramic capacitor to AGND placed adjacent to pin. |
| 17 AGND | Analog ground reference | Separate from PGND; connects FB, SS, FREQ, MODE, SYNCIN, and PG for noise immunity. |
| 18 FB | Feedback input | Monitors resistive divider; 0.815V threshold sets VOUT = 0.815V × (1 + RUP/RDN). |
| 19 SS | Soft-start timing | 6μA current source charges external capacitor; tSS ≈ 6μA × CSS/0.815V. |
| 20 FREQ | Frequency setting | Resistor to AGND selects fSW; 62kΩ yields 470kHz per datasheet curve. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Frequency Spread Spectrum (FSS) | Reduces peak EMI by ±6% frequency dithering - enables CISPR25 Class 5 compliance without added filter components. |
| Selectible AAM/FCCM Modes | AAM minimizes light-load IQ (18μA); FCCM maintains fixed fSW and low output ripple for noise-sensitive analog rails. |
| Low-Dropout (LDO) Mode | Extends regulation down to VIN − VOUT < 100mV - sustains output during automotive cranking where VIN dips to ~3.3V. |
| Out-of-Phase SYNCO Output | Enables interleaved operation of multiple MP4313GRE-P converters - cuts input/output ripple by >50% vs. parallel non-synchronized units. |
| Wettable Flank QFN | Side-wettable leads allow automated AOI of solder fillets - improves manufacturing yield and field-reliability in automotive production. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ4313GRE-A | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100 Grade 1), same electrical specs, extended temp range (−40°C to +125°C junction) | Required for under-hood or dashboard-mounted automotive ECUs; identical pinout and layout | Select for automotive production; MP4313GRE-P is commercial-grade (−40°C to +125°C ambient, not qualified) |
| LM61480RQR | TI part: 42V, 8A, 1.5MHz max fSW, no FSS, higher IQ (15μA typ in FPWM) | Larger output current capability but lacks FSS and wettable flank; different pinout and layout incompatible | Choose when >3A output or higher fSW needed; avoid if CISPR25 Class 5 or AOI requirements apply |
Compared with MPQ4313GRE-A, the MP4313GRE-P offers identical functionality at lower cost for non-automotive applications, while the LM61480RQR trades FSS and manufacturability for higher current and frequency-making it unsuitable for space-constrained, EMI-sensitive designs requiring drop-in replacement.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper thickness for thermal performance of MP4313GRE-P?
The EVQ4313-R-00A evaluation board uses 2oz copper (70μm) across all four layers, achieving θJA = 23°C/W. For production designs, 2oz inner-layer copper with thermal vias under the exposed pad is strongly recommended to maintain junction temperature below 125°C at 3A continuous load.
Can MP4313GRE-P operate without an external bootstrap diode?
Yes - the MP4313GRE-P integrates an internal bootstrap diode. Only an external 0.1μF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW pins is required. No external diode or resistor is needed, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
How does the MODE pin affect efficiency at light loads?
In AAM mode (MODE = low), the converter skips pulses to maintain regulation, reducing switching losses and achieving 18μA IQ. In FCCM (MODE = high), it maintains fixed frequency and continuous inductor current, increasing light-load IQ to ~9.5mA at 470kHz but eliminating subharmonic ripple.
Is the FREQ pin compatible with standard resistor E-series values?
Yes - the fSW vs. RFREQ curve (datasheet page 13) is linear across 12kΩ–100kΩ. Common values like 62kΩ (470kHz), 30kΩ (650kHz), and 12kΩ (1000kHz) are validated and widely used in reference designs.
Does the PG pin require a pull-up resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes - PG is open-drain and requires an external pull-up. A 10kΩ resistor to VCC or system 3.3V rail is recommended: it ensures fast rise time (<1μs) while limiting sink current to <0.3mA when asserted low.
What failure protections are implemented beyond over-current and thermal shutdown?
In addition to hiccup-mode OCP and 170°C thermal shutdown, the MP4313GRE-P includes input UVLO (2.8V rising), PG fault detection (±6.5% window), valley-current limiting, reverse-current blocking, and frequency foldback during startup to prevent inductor saturation.
Can SYNCIN accept CMOS or LVDS logic levels?
SYNCIN accepts CMOS-level inputs: VSYNC_RISING = 1.8V and VSYNC_FALLING = 0.4V thresholds make it compatible with standard 3.3V or 5V logic families. It is not LVDS-compatible due to single-ended input structure and lack of differential receiver.
