Product details
Overview
MP4570GF-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a fully integrated, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with internal 90mΩ high-side and 70mΩ low-side MOSFETs, supporting 4.5V–55V input and delivering up to 3A continuous output current. It employs peak current mode control, programmable switching frequency (100–1000kHz), and features over-voltage, over-current, and thermal shutdown protection. It is used in PoE-powered industrial equipment requiring robust high-voltage buck conversion.
For engineers reviewing the MP4570GF-Z datasheet, MP4570GF-Z pinout, MP4570GF-Z application, or MP4570GF-Z equivalent, key selection considerations include its TSSOP-20 EP package with exposed pad, valley-current-detection OCP, BIAS pin for efficiency optimization, and SYNC capability for system-level clock alignment.
Technical Context
The MP4570GF-Z implements peak current mode control with an error amplifier transconductance of 430–730μA/V and COMP pin voltage set by external RC compensation. Its switching frequency is set via resistor on FREQ pin (e.g., 102kΩ → 500kHz) or synchronized to external 100–1000kHz clock signals.
It integrates dual MOSFETs with RDS(on) of 90mΩ (HS) and 70mΩ (LS), supports light-load frequency scaling down to 5% of nominal, and disables switching when COMP falls below ~0.7V. Thermal shutdown activates at 150–170°C with 10°C hysteresis, and OVP triggers at 108–122% of VFB (1V nominal).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 55V - supports PoE, automotive battery rails, and industrial 24/48V systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 3A continuous - sufficient for powering FPGA I/O banks, microcontroller cores, or sensor subsystems. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 100–1000kHz - enables EMI tuning and inductor size optimization across applications. |
| Internal MOSFETs | 90mΩ HS / 70mΩ LS - reduces conduction loss and eliminates need for external power switches. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.0V ±2% - enables precise output regulation with standard resistor-divider design. |
| Power Good Threshold | VFB = 86–94% for rising edge - provides reliable rail-valid indication for downstream sequencing. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150–170°C with 10°C hysteresis - ensures safe recovery after overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| OVP Trigger | 108–122% of VFB - protects downstream loads from catastrophic overvoltage during feedback fault. |
Pinout & Package
The MP4570GF-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced TSSOP-20 EP package with exposed pad for improved heat dissipation. The exposed pad (pins 13, 14, 15) must be soldered to a large copper pour for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 COMP | Compensation node | Connects external RC network to stabilize loop response; sets pole-zero placement for stability. |
| 2 FB | Feedback input | Senses output voltage via resistive divider; referenced to 1.0V internal bandgap. |
| 3 FREQ | Frequency setting/SYNC input | Resistor-to-GND sets fSW; external clock overrides internal oscillator for synchronization. |
| 4 EN | Enable control | Logic-level input (1.4–1.8V rise threshold); no internal pull-up-must be actively driven. |
| 5 BST | Bootstrap supply | Charges floating gate driver for high-side MOSFET via 0.1µF capacitor to SW node. |
| 6–8 VIN | Main input power | High-current path for 4.5–55V input; requires local ceramic decoupling near pins. |
| 10–11 SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor; high dv/dt node requiring careful layout and ground plane isolation. |
| 13,14,15 Exposed Pad | Power ground | Primary thermal and current return path for internal MOSFETs; must be soldered to PCB thermal pad. |
| 16 VDD | Driver supply | Regulated 3.6V (from VIN) or 4.8V (from BIAS); powers LS gate driver and BST charging circuit. |
| 17 BIAS | Efficiency-optimized supply | Accepts 3.3–5.5V external source to reduce quiescent loss and improve light-load efficiency. |
| 18 PG | Power good open-drain | Signals valid regulation (high) or fault (low); requires external pull-up resistor (e.g., 100kΩ). |
| 19 SS | Soft-start timing | External capacitor sets ramp time; internal 500µs default if left floating. |
| 20 AGND | Analog ground | Reference for FB, COMP, and error amplifier; separate from power ground to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Valley-current-detection OCP | Prevents inductor current runaway during short-circuit by disabling HS until valley current drops below threshold. |
| BIAS pin for efficiency boost | Reduces internal regulator loss by sourcing VDD from external 3.3–5.5V, improving light-load efficiency by >5%. |
| Frequency scaling at light load | Switching frequency drops to 5% of nominal when COMP < 0.7V, reducing switching loss without burst-mode noise. |
| OVP with auto-recovery | Shuts down both MOSFETs immediately at 115% VFB, resumes operation only after FB falls to ≤103% VFB. |
| Integrated bootstrap regulator | Charges BST capacitor to 4.2V using dedicated PMOS pass device; includes UVLO (2.3V) with 300mV hysteresis. |
| Current limit reduction under short | Peak current limit scales linearly from full value to 50% as FB drops from 50% to 0% of reference-reducing thermal stress during output shorts. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QWRXMRQ1 | 4.5–65V input, 1A output, requires external MOSFETs; no integrated low-side switch. | Lower current capacity; suited for space-constrained automotive modules where external FET layout is acceptable. | Select when higher input voltage margin (>55V) is required and lower output current suffices. |
| RT7297BZSP | 4.5–36V input, 3A output, integrated MOSFETs; lacks BIAS pin and valley-current OCP. | Not suitable for >36V inputs like PoE+ or industrial 48V; less robust under sustained short-circuit conditions. | Choose only for cost-sensitive 24V systems where thermal derating under fault is acceptable. |
Compared with LM5164QWRXMRQ1 and RT7297BZSP, the MP4570GF-Z uniquely combines 55V rating, 3A integrated power stage, valley-current OCP, and BIAS-driven efficiency-making it optimal for PoE, industrial, and automotive high-voltage buck applications demanding reliability and minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for MP4570GF-Z?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 60V, but the recommended operating range is 4.5V to 55V per datasheet specifications. Operation above 55V risks exceeding internal MOSFET breakdown limits and may trigger UVLO or damage the device. Sustained operation at 55V requires proper thermal design due to increased conduction loss in the 90mΩ high-side MOSFET.
How does the BIAS pin improve efficiency?
The BIAS pin allows external 3.3–5.5V supply to power the internal VDD regulator and low-side gate driver, bypassing the less efficient VIN-to-VDD LDO. This reduces quiescent current by ~200µA and improves light-load efficiency by up to 5 percentage points, especially critical in always-on PoE or automotive standby modes.
Can MP4570GF-Z synchronize to an external clock?
Yes-the FREQ pin accepts external 100–1000kHz clock signals with HIGH >1.5V and LOW <1V. When an external clock is applied, the internal oscillator locks to its falling edge, enabling deterministic switching and EMI reduction in multi-rail systems. Pulse width must exceed 100ns to overcome pin parasitic capacitance.
What is the purpose of valley-current detection in over-current protection?
Valley-current detection prevents inductor current runaway during short-circuit faults by ensuring the high-side MOSFET remains off until the inductor's valley current falls below a defined threshold. This avoids uncontrolled current buildup and thermal runaway, providing safer fault handling than peak-only current limiting.
Is the TSSOP-20 EP package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes-MP4570GF-Z is lead-free, halogen-free, and fully compliant with the EU RoHS directive. All MPS products meet JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) and undergo rigorous qualification per AEC-Q100 for automotive-grade reliability where applicable.
How is soft-start time calculated with an external capacitor?
Soft-start time tSS (ms) = CSS (nF) × 1V / 4µA, where CSS is the external capacitor on SS pin and 1V is the internal reference. For example, a 100nF capacitor yields ~25ms ramp time. The internal 500µs soft-start is overridden if the external time is longer.
Does MP4570GF-Z support output voltages below 1V?
No-the minimum regulated output is 1V, determined by the internal 1.0V ±2% feedback reference. Output voltages below 1V cannot be achieved using the standard FB divider configuration; alternative regulators with adjustable references or external error amplifiers would be required.
