Product details
Overview
MP8758HGL-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a high-current, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter delivering up to 10A continuous output current with 4.5V–22V input range, 0.604V–5.5V adjustable output, and 500kHz fixed switching frequency. It integrates low-RDS(ON) MOSFETs (25mΩ HS / 9mΩ LS), uses constant-on-time (COT) control for fast transient response, and features hiccup-mode over-current protection and auto-retry thermal shutdown. It is deployed in flat-panel TV power rails requiring compact, high-efficiency point-of-load regulation.
For engineers reviewing the MP8758HGL-Z datasheet, MP8758HGL-Z pinout, MP8758HGL-Z application, or MP8758HGL-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its COT-based light-load PFM/PWM mode selection, open-drain power-good signal timing (800μs delay), valley-current OCP threshold (10–12A), thermal shutdown at 150°C with 25°C hysteresis, and QFN-21 (3mm×4mm) package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The MP8758HGL-Z implements a constant-on-time (COT) control architecture that dynamically adjusts on-time based on input and output voltage to maintain ~500kHz switching frequency across operating conditions. Its valley-current sensing uses the low-side MOSFET's RDS(ON) for cycle-by-cycle over-current detection, triggering hiccup-mode recovery upon sustained overload.
It supports dual operation modes via the MODE pin: forced PWM for fixed-frequency noise control or PFM for high light-load efficiency, with seamless transition between modes. The internal 5V VCC LDO powers gate drivers and control logic, while the open-drain PG pin asserts after soft-start completion when FB voltage remains within 95–105% of 604mV reference for ≥800μs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 22V - Supports wide industrial and consumer input rails including 5V, 12V, and 24V systems without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 10A continuous - Delivers full rated load with thermal management via QFN-21 exposed pad (θJA = 50°C/W). |
| Switching Frequency | 400–600kHz (typ. 500kHz) - Enables use of small 1.2μH inductors and ceramic output capacitors while balancing EMI and efficiency. |
| Feedback Reference | 604mV ±9mV - Sets precise output voltage via external resistor divider; enables 0.604V–5.5V adjustment with <±1% line/load regulation. |
| OCP Threshold | 10–12A valley current - Triggers hiccup-mode shutdown during sustained overload, limiting average short-circuit current and die temperature rise. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 25°C hysteresis - Auto-retries after cooldown; prevents permanent damage during airflow-limited or high-ambient deployments. |
| Power Good Delay | 800μs - Ensures stable output before asserting PG high, enabling reliable downstream power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
Pinout & Package
MP8758HGL-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-21 package (3mm × 4mm, 0.5mm pitch) with an exposed thermal pad (Pins 10, 11, 20, 21) requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST (Pin 1) | Bootstrap supply | Connects to SW node via 0.1μF ceramic capacitor to generate floating gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET. |
| SW (Pins 2,3) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; experiences VIN-referenced swing up to 24.3V and negative swing down to –3V (30ns); requires short/wide PCB routing. |
| VOUT (Pins 5,6) | Output voltage sense | Direct connection to output capacitor cathode; used for remote sensing to improve load regulation accuracy. |
| AGND (Pin 8) | Analog reference ground | Reference point for internal 604mV bandgap; must tie FB divider ground here-not to PGND-to minimize noise-induced regulation error. |
| MODE (Pin 9) | Operation mode select | Pulled internally high; logic-high → PFM mode (efficiency-optimized), logic-low → forced PWM (EMI-controlled); floating defaults to PFM. |
| PGND (Pins 10,11,20,21) | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for high di/dt switch currents; must connect to PCB ground plane using multiple vias under exposed pad. |
| VIN (Pins 12,19) | Main input supply | Accepts 4.5–22V; requires local 10μF+ ceramic decoupling near pin; wide traces reduce IR drop and EMI. |
| PG (Pin 13) | Open-drain power good | Sinks 4mA when faulted; requires external pull-up (e.g., to VCC); asserts high only after soft-start and FB stability window (95–105% VREF). |
| FB (Pin 14) | Feedback input | High-impedance (10–50nA) node; connects to resistor divider tap; sensitive to layout-no vias, minimal trace length. |
| GND (Pin 15) | System ground reference | Must be connected to either AGND or PGND; establishes common reference for EN, MODE, and internal logic. |
| VCC (Pin 16) | Internal 5.1V LDO output | Supplies gate drivers and control circuitry; requires ≥1μF X7R/X5R ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin. |
| EN (Pin 17) | Enable control | Digital input (1.15–1.35V logic low, >VCC–0.4V logic high); 0V disables regulator with <1μA shutdown current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Proprietary switching loss reduction | Optimized gate drive timing and dead-time control minimizes shoot-through risk while maintaining >92% peak efficiency at 12VIN/1.2VOUT/10A. |
| Internal soft-start | 2.9ms ramp time from 10% to 90% VOUT; prevents inrush current and ensures monotonic startup even with pre-biased outputs. |
| Output discharge function | Activates internal low-side FET after shutdown to rapidly discharge output capacitor-critical for safety-critical or hot-swap applications. |
| Auto-retry thermal shutdown | Enters hiccup mode at 150°C junction temp, cools, then re-attempts soft-start; avoids latch-off failure during transient thermal overload. |
| Hiccup-mode over-current protection | Disables power stage, discharges SS capacitor, and retries startup every ~100ms until fault clears-limits average short-circuit power dissipation. |

FAQ
What is the minimum output voltage achievable with MP8758HGL-Z?
The MP8758HGL-Z has a fixed 604mV feedback reference voltage with ±9mV tolerance. Using an external resistor divider, the lowest practical output is 0.604V - achieved when the bottom resistor is omitted and top resistor grounded. Output voltages below this are not supported due to internal reference architecture and FB comparator thresholds.
Can MP8758HGL-Z operate with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes. The MP8758HGL-Z integrates an internal ramp compensator that stabilizes the constant-on-time control loop without requiring output capacitor ESR. It is fully compatible with low-ESR ceramic capacitors (e.g., 220μF X5R), eliminating the need for aluminum or tantalum bulk capacitance and reducing board area and BOM cost.
How does the hiccup-mode OCP behave during a sustained short circuit?
Upon detecting valley current exceeding 10–12A, the MP8758HGL-Z disables switching, discharges the soft-start capacitor, and enters a ~100ms retry cycle. Each attempt includes full soft-start; if the short persists, it repeats indefinitely. This limits average power dissipation to <1W, preventing thermal runaway while maintaining device integrity.
What is the recommended layout practice for the BST pin?
A 0.1μF X7R ceramic capacitor must be placed directly between BST and SW pins with minimal trace length and no vias. The SW node itself must be routed with wide, short copper polygons to minimize inductance - critical for clean bootstrap charging and preventing high-side gate drive collapse during heavy load transients.
Does MP8758HGL-Z support pre-biased output startup?
Yes. When the output is pre-biased above the target voltage at enable, the MP8758HGL-Z inhibits switching until the internal reference voltage ramps above the sensed FB voltage. This prevents reverse current flow through the low-side MOSFET and ensures monotonic, controlled startup without output voltage overshoot.
What is the maximum allowable voltage on the EN pin?
The EN pin contains an internal 12V Zener clamp. Absolute maximum voltage is 12V; exceeding this risks damaging the clamp structure. When driven from VIN >12V, a resistive divider must limit EN voltage to ≤12V and ensure pull-up current stays below 1mA per datasheet specifications.
How is power-good timing affected by output capacitor ESR?
PG assertion delay (800μs) is independent of output capacitor ESR. However, high ESR can cause excessive VOUT droop during load steps, delaying FB voltage entry into the 95–105% VREF window and thus postponing PG assertion. Low-ESR ceramics ensure timely PG response aligned with actual regulation stability.
