Product details
Overview
MP8862GQ-0000-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a synchronous 4-switch integrated buck-boost DC/DC converter with I²C interface, operating across 2.8V–22V input and delivering up to 2A output current at programmable 1V–20.47V output voltage. It employs COT control in buck mode and COT-derived constant-off-time in boost mode for fast transient response and seamless mode transitions. Used in DSLR camera power rails where input varies from battery discharge (3.2V) to USB PD (12V/20V) while maintaining stable 5V/9V/12V sensor or display supply.
For engineers reviewing the MP8862GQ-0000-P datasheet, MP8862GQ-0000-P pinout, MP8862GQ-0000-P application, or MP8862GQ-0000-P equivalent, key selection criteria include its I²C-programmable output voltage (10mV resolution), OTP-configurable soft-start (900μs default), hiccup-mode OVP/SCP protection, and dual-mode switching frequency (500kHz forced PWM, variable in PFM).
Technical Context
The MP8862 implements a single-inductor, four-MOSFET buck-boost topology with independent high-side and low-side switch control per half-bridge (SW1/SW2 nodes). Its hybrid control scheme uses constant-on-time regulation during buck operation and constant-off-time during boost, enabling smooth transitions when VIN ≈ VOUT without discontinuous conduction or output droop.
Internal architecture integrates four 30–80mΩ RDS(ON) MOSFETs, a 3.65V internal LDO (VCC), analog ground (AGND) isolation, bootstrap drivers (BST1/BST2), and an I²C slave interface supporting four address configurations via ADD pin resistor dividers. Fault reporting occurs through open-drain ALT pin with thermal warning and shutdown thresholds at 150°C (±20°C hysteresis).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.8V to 22V - supports wide-input industrial and portable systems including multi-cell Li-ion and USB-C PD sources. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1V to 20.47V with 10mV I²C resolution - enables precise rail tuning for image sensors, FPGAs, or display bias without external DAC. |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous - sufficient for powering CMOS image sensors, microcontrollers, and RF modules in compact DSLR or medical imaging devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz (forced PWM) - balances EMI, inductor size (4.7µH typical), and efficiency across load range. |
| Protection Features | OCP (hiccup/latch), OVP (160% VREF hiccup), UVP (50% VREF), thermal shutdown (150°C) - ensures robust operation under fault conditions without external circuitry. |
| I²C Interface | Up to 3.4MHz clock, four programmable addresses, OTP storage - allows dynamic configuration and system-level telemetry in host-managed power architectures. |

Pinout & Package
MP8862GQ-0000-P is housed in a thermally optimized 16-pin QFN package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. The pinout supports compact 4-switch buck-boost layout with dedicated BST1/BST2 bootstrap nodes, isolated AGND, and dual switching nodes (SW1/SW2) for single-inductor connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Main power input | Drain node of internal high-side buck switch; requires local 100µF low-ESR input capacitor to suppress VIN ripple and spikes. |
| 2,11 GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for output current and switching loop; must be connected with multiple vias to internal ground plane. |
| 3 EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input (1.1V threshold); internal 2MΩ pull-down enables default-off behavior for safe power sequencing. |
| 4 ADD | I²C address select | Analog voltage divider input setting one of four I²C slave addresses (69H–6FH); enables multi-device bus sharing. |
| 5 SCL / 6 SDA | I²C serial interface | Standard bidirectional bus pins supporting 400kHz–3.4MHz; tolerate 1.8V–5V logic levels for direct MCU interfacing. |
| 7 OC | Current limit set | Analog pin configuring output CC limit via external resistor (21.5kΩ = 3A default); enables adjustable short-circuit protection. |
| 8 ALT | Fault alert output | Open-drain active-low signal indicating OVP, OCP, or thermal warning; sinks 4mA at 0.4V for direct MCU interrupt use. |
| 9 VCC | Internal LDO output | 3.65V regulated supply for gate drivers and logic; requires 1µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin. |
| 10 AGND | Analog ground | Separate ground for feedback and sensing circuits; must be tied to GND at single point near VCC decoupling. |
| 12 OUT | Regulated output | High-current power output node; connects directly to output capacitor bank (100µF + 22µF ceramic typical). |
| 13 BST2 / 16 BST1 | Bootstrap supplies | Drive floating gates of high-side switches SW2/SW1; require 100nF X7R capacitors between BSTx and respective SWx pins. |
| 14 SW2 / 15 SW1 | Switching nodes | Connection points for inductor center-tap; carry high di/dt currents; must be routed with minimal loop area and copper weight. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| I²C-programmable output voltage | 1V–20.47V in 10mV steps - eliminates external resistive feedback network and enables runtime rail adjustment for multi-voltage SoCs. |
| OTP-configurable startup timing | 900μs soft-start time stored in one-time programmable memory - prevents inrush current in battery-powered systems without external RC components. |
| Auto PFM/PWM or forced PWM mode | Configurable via I²C register - maintains 500kHz switching under light loads (PFM) or enforces fixed frequency for predictable EMI filtering (PWM). |
| Integrated line drop compensation | Programmable via I²C - compensates for IR drop across PCB traces or connectors to maintain accurate remote-sense output regulation. |
| Four internal MOSFETs with low RDS(ON) | 30–80mΩ (HS/LS) - reduces conduction loss and eliminates need for external power stage, shrinking BOM and layout area by >40% vs discrete solutions. |

FAQ
What is the default output voltage and how is it set?
The MP8862GQ-0000-P defaults to 5V output voltage, programmed into its one-time programmable (OTP) memory during manufacturing. This value is stored in the device's internal register and loaded at power-up; it can be overridden via I²C commands during runtime but reverts to 5V after reset unless reprogrammed and saved to OTP.
Does MP8862GQ-0000-P support true buck-boost mode without external components?
Yes - MP8862GQ-0000-P integrates all four power MOSFETs, bootstrap diodes, error amplifier, and mode-transition logic in a single QFN-16 package. No external switches, drivers, or mode-control circuitry are required to operate across buck, boost, and buck-boost regions; only input/output capacitors, inductor, and optional OC/ADD resistors are needed.
How does the I²C interface handle address conflicts in multi-device systems?
The MP8862GQ-0000-P supports four unique I²C slave addresses (69H–6FH) selected by analog voltage on the ADD pin using resistor dividers. This allows up to four identical MP8862 devices on the same bus without address collision, enabling redundant power rails or multi-output configurations managed by a single controller.
What thermal protection mechanisms are implemented?
MP8862GQ-0000-P includes over-temperature warning (ALT pin assertion at ~130°C) and thermal shutdown (150°C ±20°C hysteresis). When temperature exceeds the warning threshold, ALT pulls low to signal host MCU; if shutdown threshold is reached, the device halts switching and auto-restarts after cooling below 130°C, ensuring safe recovery without manual reset.
Can output current limiting be adjusted without changing hardware?
Yes - the output constant-current (CC) limit is set via the OC pin using an external resistor (default 21.5kΩ = 3A), but it can also be reconfigured dynamically via I²C register writes. This allows software-defined current limiting for different operational modes (e.g., 1.5A for standby, 3A for active imaging), enhancing system-level power management flexibility.
Is there a recommended evaluation board for rapid prototyping?
Yes - the EVKT-MP8862 evaluation kit includes the EV8862-Q-00A board populated with MP8862GQ-0000-P, plus USB-to-I²C interface (EVKT-USBI2C-02) and GUI software. It supports full I²C register access, real-time telemetry, and configurable VOUT, soft-start, and protection settings - accelerating validation of buck-boost designs.
