Product details
Overview
MP5035GJ-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a configurable current-limit load switch IC designed for input-to-output fault isolation in 2.9V–22V power rails. It integrates an 82mΩ MOSFET, supports adjustable current limiting (50mA–2A) via external resistor, provides soft-start control through DV/DT pin, and delivers fast short-circuit protection (<1µs response). Used in USB Power Delivery and IP camera power distribution to prevent inrush damage and bus voltage collapse.
For engineers reviewing the MP5035GJ-Z datasheet, MP5035GJ-Z pinout, MP5035GJ-Z application, or MP5035GJ-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include programmable current limit accuracy, TSOT23-6 thermal performance under 2A load, hiccup-mode OCP behavior, and EN logic compatibility with 3.3V/5V control systems.
Technical Context
The MP5035 operates as a high-side current-limiting eFuse with integrated gate driver, current-sense amplifier, and thermal shutdown circuitry. Its control loop regulates MOSFET gate voltage to maintain constant output current during overload, with secondary 8A fast-turnoff protection triggered independently of the main current limit setting.
Soft-start is implemented by controlling dV/dt at VOUT via external capacitor on DV/DT pin, enabling precise ramp time calculation (tSS = VIN/dV/dt). The device features internal UVLO (2.7V threshold), 2.2MΩ EN pull-down, and output discharge path (540Ω) activated during disable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.9V to 22V - Supports wide industrial and USB PD input rails without external regulation. |
| Current Limit Range | 50mA to 2A - Set by resistor from ILIMIT to GND; floating ILIMIT defaults to 300mA fixed limit. |
| RDS(ON) | 82mΩ at 1A - Enables low conduction loss and minimal thermal rise at full rated current. |
| Short-Circuit Response | <1µs - Fast turn-off prevents bus droop and protects upstream source during hard shorts. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175°C with 50°C hysteresis - Auto-retry after 700ms cooldown ensures recovery without manual reset. |
| Quiescent Current | 550μA active / 17μA shutdown - Minimizes standby power loss in always-on systems. |
| DV/DT Control | Configurable slew rate (1.3–2.7V/ms) - Enables precise soft-start timing for sensitive downstream loads. |
Pinout & Package
MP5035GJ-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced TSOT23-6 package with exposed pad for improved heat dissipation. Pin 1 (EN) is located at bottom-left when viewing top marking left-to-right.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - EN | Enable control input | Pull high ≥2V to activate; internal 2.2MΩ pull-down and 5.5V Zener clamp enable direct VIN connection via 300kΩ resistor. |
| 2 - SOURCE | MOSFET source terminal | Output node connected to load; requires low-inductance trace routing to minimize switching noise. |
| 3 - GND | System ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits; must be tied directly to power plane with multiple vias. |
| 4 - ILIMIT | Current limit programming | Resistor to GND sets limit per ILIMIT = 0.58V / RLIMIT; floating = 300mA fixed limit. |
| 5 - VIN | Power input supply | Accepts 2.9–22V; requires ≥1μF ceramic decoupling close to pin; absolute max transient = 26V. |
| 6 - DV/DT | Soft-start slew rate control | Capacitor to GND sets dV/dt; floating = 2V/ms default; enables tSS = VIN/dV/dt calculation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable current limit | Programmable from 50mA to 2A using single external resistor - eliminates need for discrete sense resistor and comparator. |
| Hiccup-mode overcurrent protection | 700ms off-time after >2ms overload - limits average power dissipation during sustained faults without latch-off. |
| Integrated output discharge | 540Ω internal path - safely bleeds stored charge from output capacitors during shutdown, preventing backfeed. |
| Fast short-circuit response | <1µs turn-off at 8A secondary limit - protects MOSFET SOA and maintains input rail stability during catastrophic faults. |
| Thermal auto-retry | 175°C shutdown with 125°C restart threshold - enables autonomous recovery in thermally constrained enclosures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-limit switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS25940ARVCR | 4.5V–18V input range; 0.5A–5A adjustable limit; integrated telemetry (VIN, IOUT, temp); QFN-20 package | Requires I2C host for configuration; larger footprint; supports real-time monitoring | Choose for systems needing digital diagnostics and wider current range; avoid if space-constrained or analog-only design. |
| ON Semi NIS5132MN | 2.7V–20V input; fixed 2.5A limit; no DV/DT control; SOT-23-6 package; 110mΩ RDS(ON) | No soft-start adjustment; simpler enable-only interface; higher conduction loss at 2A | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where fixed 2.5A limit suffices and soft-start timing is not critical. |
Compared with TPS25940ARVCR and NIS5132MN, MP5035GJ-Z offers optimal balance of wide input range (2.9–22V), fine-grained analog current programming (50mA steps), and compact TSOT23-6 footprint-making it ideal for space-limited USB and PoE edge devices requiring deterministic analog control.

FAQ
What is the minimum current limit achievable with MP5035GJ-Z?
The MP5035GJ-Z achieves a minimum current limit of 50mA using a 22kΩ resistor from ILIMIT to GND, per Equation (2): ILIMIT = 0.58V / RLIMIT. This value is verified across -40°C to +125°C operating temperature and confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet.
Does MP5035GJ-Z require an external TVS diode for 24V system operation?
No external TVS is required for nominal 24V operation because MP5035GJ-Z has a 26V absolute maximum VIN rating. However, if system transients exceed 26V (e.g., >1kV ESD or lightning surges), a TVS diode such as SMAJ24A is recommended per Figure 5's optional D1 placement.
How does the DV/DT pin affect startup time in MP5035GJ-Z?
The DV/DT pin sets output voltage slew rate (dV/dt) via external capacitor; startup time tSS = VIN / dV/dt. With DV/DT floating, dV/dt = 2V/ms yields tSS = 6ms at 12V. Adding a 47nF capacitor increases dV/dt to 4.2V/ms, reducing tSS to ~2.9ms - enabling precise timing control without firmware.
Can MP5035GJ-Z drive capacitive loads up to 1000μF?
Yes - MP5035GJ-Z supports output capacitance up to 1000μF when configured with appropriate DV/DT capacitor to limit inrush dV/dt. The datasheet confirms stable operation with 10μF output cap and notes layout guidelines (wide traces, low-inductance paths) for larger values to avoid oscillation.
What happens when ILIMIT is shorted to GND on MP5035GJ-Z?
Shorting ILIMIT to GND disables the primary current limit but activates an internal 8A secondary current limit. If load current exceeds 8A, the device triggers fast turn-off (<1µs) and enters hiccup mode. This mode is intended only for short-circuit protection, not continuous operation.
Is MP5035GJ-Z RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - MP5035GJ-Z is lead-free, halogen-free, and fully compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. MPS confirms green status on its official Quality Assurance page, and the device carries the "RoHS Compliant" marking on its top-side laser etch.
