Product details
Overview
MP5402MGR-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a monolithic 5A, 36V synchronous step-down converter with integrated dual USB current-limit switches and BC1.2-compliant charging port identification. It delivers fixed 5V output with programmable line drop compensation, supports 350/250/150kHz selectable switching frequency, and provides ±8kV HBM ESD protection on USB DP/DM pins. It is designed for automotive cigarette lighter adapters requiring robust dual-port USB charging.
For engineers reviewing the MP5402MGR-Z datasheet, MP5402MGR-Z pinout, MP5402MGR-Z application, or MP5402MGR-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-USB auto-detection capability (DCP/divider/1.2V mode), hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and QFN-26 package thermal performance under 5A load.
Technical Context
The MP5402MGR-Z integrates a peak-current-mode controlled buck regulator with internal 40mΩ/32mΩ HS/LS MOSFETs and two independent USB power switches with 24mΩ RDS(ON). Its auto-detection state machine implements BC1.2 DCP, divider, and 1.2V/1.2V handshaking without external components.
Line drop compensation is dynamically adjusted using the larger of the two USB current-sense outputs, while output OVP (6.0V trip) and hiccup-mode recovery (8.5s off time) provide fault resilience. The bootstrap driver maintains VBST–VSW ≤ 5V via internal regulation, and EN features 7.6V Zener clamping with 1MΩ pull-down.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input voltage range | 7V to 36V - supports 12V/24V automotive systems with 40V absolute max rating |
| Output voltage | Fixed 5.05V ±1% - includes programmable line drop compensation up to 500mV at 2.4A |
| Continuous output current | 5A - delivered by internal synchronous rectifier with 40mΩ/32mΩ RDS(ON) |
| USB current limit | 2.75A per port - foldback to 70% during overcurrent, with 3ms hiccup trigger delay |
| Switching frequency | 150/250/350kHz - selected via FREQ pin logic level (GND/5V/floating) |
| Thermal shutdown | 165°C with 20°C hysteresis - ensures safe operation under sustained 5A load in QFN-26 |
| ESD rating | ±8kV HBM on USB DP/DM pins - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in charging ports |
Pinout & Package
MP5402MGR-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-26 (4mm × 4mm) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; top-side marking includes MPS prefix, year/week code, and product code M5402M.

|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | USB1 output | Power output for first USB port; includes current limiting and auto-detection circuitry |
| 3, 15, 25 | OUT | Buck converter output node; supplies regulated 5V to both USB ports and serves as feedback reference |
| 4, 14 | IN | Main input supply (7–36V); powers internal circuitry and high-side switch drain |
| 5, 6, 12, 13 | PGND | Power ground return for buck converter and USB switches; requires low-impedance PCB plane |

| 16, 17 | USB2 | Power output for second USB port; functionally identical to USB1 with independent current sensing |
| 18 | AGND | Analog ground; must be connected to PGND at single point to avoid noise coupling into error amplifier |
| 19 | VCC | Internal 5V LDO output (4.75–5.45V); powers control logic and requires 0.22μF ceramic decoupling |
| 20 | VDROP | Line drop compensation selection: GND = 130mV, mid-level = 400mV, high-level = 500mV at 2.4A |
| 21, 24 | DM1, DM2 | D− data lines for USB1/USB2 port detection; support BC1.2 handshake and 1.2V/1.2V mode |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-USB charging port applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP5412GQ-A | Higher 6A output, 40V max input, but no integrated USB detection-requires external BC1.2 IC | Lacks auto-detection; suitable only when external ID logic is already present | Select when higher current headroom is needed and system already implements USB ID via MCU or dedicated IC |
| TPS65987D | USB-C PD controller with 5V/3A buck, supports USB-C negotiation but no BC1.2 DCP or 1.2V/1.2V mode | Designed for USB-C ecosystems only; incompatible with legacy micro-USB DCP devices | Choose only for new USB-C designs requiring programmable power delivery, not for universal DCP compatibility |
Compared with MP5402MGR-Z, MP5412GQ-A trades integrated USB intelligence for higher current capability, while TPS65987D replaces BC1.2 versatility with USB-C PD protocol compliance-neither matches the seamless legacy device support and minimal BOM advantage of the MP5402MGR-Z.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by MP5402MGR-Z?
The MP5402MGR-Z delivers 5A continuous output current from its integrated synchronous buck converter. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design with the QFN-26 package's exposed pad soldered to a ≥4 cm² copper area and ambient temperature ≤60°C. Derating applies above 85°C junction temperature.
Does MP5402MGR-Z require external components for USB BC1.2 detection?
No. MP5402MGR-Z integrates a complete BC1.2 detection state machine supporting DCP, divider, and 1.2V/1.2V modes. No external resistors, ID switches, or microcontrollers are needed-the DP1/DM1 and DP2/DM2 pins connect directly to USB connectors for full auto-detection.
How does the line drop compensation function work on MP5402MGR-Z?
MP5402MGR-Z measures current through each USB port and uses the larger sensed value to adjust output voltage upward-by 130mV, 400mV, or 500mV depending on VDROP pin voltage-compensating for IR drop across cables and PCB traces to maintain 5V at the device end.
What protection features are included in MP5402MGR-Z?
MP5402MGR-Z includes hiccup-mode overcurrent protection (8.5s off-time), output overvoltage protection (6.0V trip), thermal shutdown (165°C), input UVLO (5.7V rising), and ±8kV HBM ESD protection on all USB data pins-providing comprehensive fault resilience without external components.
Can MP5402MGR-Z operate with input voltage below 7V?
No. The absolute minimum operating input voltage is 7V, with UVLO rising threshold at 5.7V and falling threshold at 4.7V. Operation below 7V violates recommended conditions and may cause unstable regulation or failure to start-designs must ensure VIN remains ≥7V during all operational states.
What is the purpose of the BST pin on MP5402MGR-Z?
The BST pin connects to a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW to generate a floating supply for the high-side gate driver. Internal regulation holds VBST–VSW ≤ 5V, enabling reliable 100% duty-cycle operation and eliminating need for external bootstrap diode or charge pump.
Is MP5402MGR-Z RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes. MP5402MGR-Z is lead-free, halogen-free, and fully compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Full green status documentation, including material declarations and test reports, is available on the Monolithic Power Systems website under Quality Assurance.
