Product details
Overview
MP6402DN-EF-LF-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a dual-channel, high-PSRR linear regulator with integrated reset circuitry, delivering 500mA per channel at ±1.5% output voltage accuracy (0.9V–3.3V), 60dB PSRR at 100Hz, and programmable reset delay via external capacitor. It operates from 2.5V–5.5V input and supports consumer electronics requiring stable dual-rail power with system-level reset supervision.
For engineers reviewing the MP6402DN-EF-LF-P datasheet, MP6402DN-EF-LF-P pinout, MP6402DN-EF-LF-P application, or MP6402DN-EF-LF-P equivalent, key selection criteria include dual LDO channel independence, reset monitoring of OUT2 only, SOIC8E package thermal performance (θJA = 55°C/W), and EN-active-high enable logic with mandatory tie-to-IN if unused.
Technical Context
The MP6402 integrates two independent P-channel MOSFET-based LDOs with separate internal references and current-limit circuits, each rated for 500mA continuous output. Its reset function monitors only OUT2 voltage with ±3% threshold accuracy and active-low open-drain RESET output.
Reset delay is set by an external capacitor on ExtCap pin (e.g., 3300pF yields 1.4–2.8ms delay), while thermal shutdown engages at TJ = 150°C and releases at 130°C. Output discharge provides 100Ω path to GND when disabled, and both channels feature 15µVRMS noise (100Hz–80kHz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 500mA per channel - supports dual-rail microcontroller core/I/O rails without derating at full load. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% at 10mA, ±2.3% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable logic-level compliance across temperature. |
| PSRR | 60dB at 100Hz (OUT1), 51dB at 100Hz (OUT2) - suppresses low-frequency supply ripple critical for RF/analog subsystems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 260mV at 500mA - enables operation with minimal headroom (e.g., 2.76V IN for 2.5V OUT2). |
| Reset Threshold Accuracy | ±3% of VOUT2 - guarantees precise brown-out detection timing for system initialization sequences. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.58mA typical (EN active, no load) - minimizes standby power in battery-backed applications. |
| Noise | 15µVRMS (100Hz–80kHz) - meets low-noise requirements for ADC reference or RF bias rails. |
Pinout & Package
MP6402DN-EF-LF-P uses the SOIC8E package (exposed thermal pad), offering θJA = 55°C/W and θJC = 12°C/W on a 4-layer PCB. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large ground plane for thermal integrity and EMI reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 IN | Power input (dual pins) | Parallel input connection reduces trace resistance and improves current sharing; requires single 1µF+ ceramic input cap. |
| 3 EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; must be tied to IN if unused-floating EN causes undefined operation and potential latch-up. |
| 4 GND | Ground reference | Common return for both LDOs and reset circuit; connects to exposed pad for thermal conduction and noise immunity. |
| 5 ExtCap | Reset delay timing node | Connects to external capacitor (e.g., 3300pF) to set RESET assertion delay; stray capacitance directly impacts timing accuracy. |
| 6 RESET | Open-drain reset output | Active-low signal; requires external pull-up resistor ≥10kΩ to system VCC for proper logic level and drive strength. |
| 7 OUT2 | Channel 2 regulated output | Primary reset-monitored rail; voltage must exceed OUT1 (e.g., 2.5V/1.8V); powers critical subsystems like RF transceivers. |
| 8 OUT1 | Channel 1 regulated output | Secondary rail; not monitored by reset circuit; used for non-critical domains such as digital I/O or peripherals. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent LDOs | Each channel has dedicated pass element, reference, and current limit-enables asymmetric rail sequencing and fault isolation. |
| Programmable reset delay | Delay time scales linearly with external capacitor value (e.g., 1nF → ~0.7ms, 10nF → ~6.1ms), enabling precise system boot timing alignment. |
| Output discharge | 100Ω internal discharge path activates only when EN = low-prevents floating outputs during power-down without external components. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 150°C, resumes at 130°C-prevents thermal cycling damage and supports intermittent high-load operation in compact enclosures. |
| High PSRR + low noise | 60dB PSRR at 100Hz and 15µVRMS noise-eliminates need for additional filtering stages in sensitive analog/RF power domains. |
Applications
| Portable GPS Devices | Wireless Devices |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Dual-rail power for GPS baseband processor (1.8V core) and RF front-end (2.5V LNA/VCO). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MP6402DN-EF-LF-P supplies both rails while using OUT2 (2.5V) to trigger RESET during RF supply brown-out, ensuring clean re-initialization. Use Value: Eliminates discrete reset IC and saves PCB area; 60dB PSRR prevents GPS position drift caused by switching noise coupling into RF supply. |
Use Scenario: Powering Bluetooth SoC with 1.2V digital core and 3.3V radio interface in hearing aids. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OUT1 delivers 1.2V to core logic; OUT2 delivers 3.3V to radio, with RESET asserting if radio supply drops below 92.5% threshold. Use Value: Programmable reset delay (via 3300pF cap) synchronizes with SoC's internal reset timeout, avoiding spurious resets during transient load surges. |
| Consumer Electronics | Blu-ray Players |
|
Use Scenario: Dual-voltage supply for HDMI transmitter IC requiring 1.8V I/O and 3.3V analog PHY. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OUT2 (3.3V) powers analog PHY and triggers RESET on undervoltage; OUT1 (1.8V) powers digital interface independently. Use Value: Independent current limiting per channel prevents HDMI hot-plug events from disrupting analog PHY regulation or causing false resets. |
Use Scenario: Powering servo motor driver IC and laser diode controller in optical pickup unit. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OUT2 (2.5V) supplies laser bias; RESET asserts if bias drops, halting disc spin and preventing data corruption. Use Value: 15µVRMS noise ensures stable laser diode current control; thermal shutdown protects against enclosure overheating during extended playback. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-LDO-with-reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A1633DGNR | Single-channel 3.3V LDO with reset; no dual-output capability; higher quiescent current (1.2µA off, 25µA on). | Lacks second regulated rail; requires external LDO for multi-rail systems. | Select only if single-rail reset supervision suffices and board space permits adding a second regulator. |
| MAX1725EEE+ | Dual 300mA LDOs with reset; fixed 3.3V/2.5V outputs; no programmable reset delay; lower PSRR (45dB @100Hz). | Fixed output voltages limit flexibility; shorter default reset delay (200µs) unsuitable for slow-ramping rails. | Choose only for cost-sensitive designs where output voltage flexibility and precise delay timing are not required. |
Compared with TPS7A1633DGNR and MAX1725EEE+, MP6402DN-EF-LF-P uniquely delivers dual 500mA rails, ±1.5% accuracy across temperature, and user-adjustable reset timing-making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-rail embedded systems demanding coordinated power sequencing and robust brown-out recovery.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for MP6402DN-EF-LF-P?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6V, but recommended operating range is 2.5V to 5.5V. Exceeding 6V risks permanent damage to internal P-channel pass transistors and reference circuitry, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings Table on page 3 of the datasheet.
Can OUT1 and OUT2 be configured to the same voltage?
Yes-ordering code D (1.3V/1.3V), E (1.8V/1.8V), F (2.5V/2.5V), and G (2.8V/2.8V) support matched dual outputs. However, the reset circuit monitors only OUT2, so identical voltages still require OUT2 to be designated as the supervised rail.
Is the RESET pin compatible with 1.8V logic systems?
Yes-RESET is open-drain with VOL ≤ 0.2V at 2mA sink current, allowing direct interface to 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V logic families when paired with an appropriate pull-up resistor to the target VCC domain.
How does the output discharge function operate?
When EN is pulled low, a 100Ω internal switch connects each OUT pin to GND for rapid capacitor discharge. This occurs only during disable-no discharge path exists during normal operation, preserving output stability.
What is the minimum external capacitor value for reliable reset delay programming?
The datasheet specifies 3300pF as typical, but functional operation begins at ~100pF (yielding ~0.1ms delay). Below 100pF, stray capacitance dominates, causing timing inaccuracy; ceramic capacitors with low leakage are mandatory.
Does MP6402DN-EF-LF-P support reverse current blocking?
No-the device lacks reverse-current protection diodes or MOSFET control. If OUT voltage exceeds IN (e.g., during hot-swap or backup battery scenarios), current can flow backward through the pass elements, potentially damaging upstream sources.
Why must the EN pin never be left floating?
A floating EN pin creates undefined logic state due to internal leakage paths, leading to erratic enable/disable behavior, increased quiescent current, or unintended thermal shutdown. The datasheet explicitly mandates tying EN to IN if unused.
