Product details
Overview
MP9928GF-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a high-voltage synchronous step-down controller IC designed for industrial and PoE power systems. It operates from 4V to 60V input, delivers up to 99.5% duty cycle, supports programmable 100–1000kHz switching frequency, integrates dual N-channel MOSFET drivers, and features precision 0.800V ±12mV feedback reference - enabling robust regulation in USB DCP and linear charger supply applications.
For engineers reviewing the MP9928GF-P datasheet, MP9928GF-P pinout, MP9928GF-P application, or MP9928GF-P equivalent, key selection considerations include its AAM/CCM mode selectability, 75mV current limit threshold (ILIM-float), 180° out-of-phase SYNCO output for multi-phase coordination, and dual power supply options (VIN- or VCC2-derived VCC1) for thermal optimization in high-input industrial converters.
Technical Context
The MP9928GF-P implements peak current-mode control with slope compensation, using cycle-by-cycle inductor current sensing via SENSE+/SENSE− differential inputs. Its error amplifier (Gm = 500μA/V, 70dB DC gain) drives COMP to set PWM duty based on FB vs. 0.800V reference, while internal oscillator frequency is resistor-programmed or externally synchronized via EN/SYNC pin.
It supports three operating modes: forced CCM (CCM/AAM pin tied to VCC1 or floating), AAM (CCM/AAM pulled low ≥480mV), and low-dropout mode (99.5% max duty enabled when BST–SW > 3.05V). Fault protection includes OVP (115% VFB trigger), hiccup-mode OCP (75mV sense threshold), and thermal shutdown at 170°C with 20°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Main input supply rail | Accepts 4–60V; requires local ceramic decoupling to suppress high di/dt transients |
| EN/SYNC (Pin 2) | Enable & synchronization input | 1.22V enable threshold with 130mV hysteresis; doubles as sync input for noise-sensitive multi-rail systems |
| VCC2 (Pin 3) | External bias supply input | Enables VCC1 derivation from external 5–12V source to reduce dissipation and improve efficiency |
| VCC1 (Pin 4) | Internal bias regulator output | 5V regulated supply for gate drivers and logic; decoupled with 1–4.7μF ceramic capacitor |
| SGND (Pin 5) | Signal ground reference | Low-noise analog ground for FB, COMP, SS, and current sense circuitry - must be star-connected |
| SS (Pin 6) | Soft-start timing node | Controls startup ramp rate via external capacitor; prevents output overshoot and inrush current stress |
| COMP (Pin 7) | Error amplifier output | Drives external RC compensation network to stabilize loop response and ensure phase margin ≥45° |
| FB (Pin 8) | Output voltage feedback input | Compares resistive divider output against 0.800V reference; 10nA input bias minimizes divider error |
| CCM/AAM (Pin 9) | Mode selection control | Pull low ≥480mV for AAM; float or tie to VCC1 for CCM - determines light-load efficiency strategy |
| FREQ (Pin 10) | Frequency programming node | Resistor-to-SGND sets switching frequency; also sources 9.2μA for AAM threshold calculation |
| PG (Pin 11) | Power-good open-drain output | Indicates VOUT within ±10% of target; 25μs delay ensures stable regulation before assertion |
| ILIM (Pin 12) | Current limit threshold select | Three fixed thresholds: GND=25mV, VCC1=50mV, float=75mV - configures OCP trip point without external components |
| SYNCO (Pin 13) | 180° out-of-phase clock output | Enables interleaved operation with second MP9928 or compatible controller for reduced input/output ripple |
| SENSE− (Pin 14) | Negative current sense input | Differential pair with SENSE+ measures inductor current; common-mode range 0–24V supports high-side sensing |
| SENSE+ (Pin 15) | Positive current sense input | Paired with SENSE−; full-scale differential range ±0.7V enables accurate valley/peak current detection |
| PGND (Pin 16) | Power ground return | High-current return path for BG driver and VCC1 regulator - must connect directly to VCC1 capacitor negative terminal |
| BG (Pin 17) | Bottom gate driver output | Drives synchronous N-MOSFET source; 1Ω pull-down resistance ensures fast turn-off and shoot-through prevention |
| SW (Pin 18) | Switch node | High dv/dt node connecting external HS/LS MOSFETs; serves as return for BST capacitor and bootstrap charging path |
| TG (Pin 19) | Top gate driver output | Bootstrapped floating driver for HS N-MOSFET; 2Ω pull-up / 1Ω pull-down supports fast edge rates and low dead time (60ns) |
| BST (Pin 20) | Bootstrap supply | Charged via internal diode from VCC1 to SW; requires 0.1μF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW for reliable HS drive |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5116PWPR | Requires external slope compensation; no integrated AAM mode; 65V max input; 1.215V reference | Lacks automatic light-load efficiency optimization; less suitable for battery-backed or energy-sensitive PoE PDs | Select if needing higher input voltage margin (65V) and existing LM5116 design infrastructure |
| TPS40210DGQR | Current-mode controller with 75V max input; no integrated VCC regulator; 0.8V reference; no SYNCO output | No built-in 180° clock output for interleaving; requires external LDO for gate drivers; higher external component count | Select for ultra-high-input (75V) applications where interleaving is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs integration benefits |
Compared with LM5116PWPR and TPS40210DGQR, the MP9928GF-P offers superior integration (dual gate drivers, VCC1 regulator, AAM mode, SYNCO), tighter reference accuracy (±12mV vs. ±1.5%), and lower quiescent current (750μA vs. >1.5mA), making it optimal for space-constrained, efficiency-critical industrial and PoE designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for MP9928GF-P?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 65V, but continuous operation is specified from 4V to 60V. Exceeding 60V may trigger overvoltage stress on internal circuitry despite the 65V rating, and the UVLO rising threshold is 5V - meaning startup requires ≥5V, though operation can continue down to 4V after startup.
How does the ILIM pin configure current limiting?
The ILIM pin selects one of three fixed current-sense voltage thresholds: 25mV (ILIM = GND), 50mV (ILIM = VCC1), or 75mV (ILIM = floating). This sets the peak inductor current trip point without external resistors - for example, with a 5mΩ sense resistor, floating ILIM yields 15A trip current (75mV ÷ 5mΩ).
Can MP9928GF-P operate without an external VCC2 supply?
Yes. When VCC2 is left open or held below 4.45V, the internal VCC1 regulator derives power from VIN. However, supplying 5–12V to VCC2 disables the VIN-based regulator, reducing power dissipation and improving overall efficiency - especially beneficial in high-input-voltage applications like 48V industrial systems.
What is the purpose of the SYNCO pin?
The SYNCO pin outputs a clock signal 180° out-of-phase with the internal oscillator or external sync clock, enabling interleaved operation with a second MP9928 or compatible controller. This reduces input and output ripple current by half and eases EMI filtering requirements in high-current applications.
How is soft-start duration controlled?
Soft-start duration is set by an external capacitor connected between SS pin and SGND. The SS pin sources a constant 2–6μA current (typ. 4μA) to charge this capacitor; the resulting ramp voltage controls the COMP pin's initial level, thereby limiting output voltage slew rate during startup.
Does MP9928GF-P support forced continuous conduction mode (CCM)?
Yes. Connecting the CCM/AAM pin to VCC1 or leaving it floating forces CCM operation. Pulling CCM/AAM low (≥480mV) enables AAM mode for improved light-load efficiency. The part automatically transitions between modes based on load and COMP voltage, eliminating need for external mode-control logic.
What thermal protection mechanisms are implemented?
MP9928GF-P includes thermal shutdown at 170°C with 20°C hysteresis and internal thermal foldback. When junction temperature exceeds 170°C, the device shuts down all gate drivers and enters hiccup mode - cycling on/off until temperature falls below 150°C - preventing permanent damage during sustained overload or inadequate heatsinking.
