Product details
Overview
MPQ2454GH-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a frequency-programmable (350kHz–2.3MHz), AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, non-synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated 200mΩ high-side MOSFET, delivering up to 0.6A output current across a 3.3V–36V input range. It features current-mode control, programmable power-good delay, and low-dropout operation for automotive cold-crank support.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ2454GH-P datasheet, MPQ2454GH-P pinout, MPQ2454GH-P application, or MPQ2454GH-P equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3.5μA shutdown current, 60μA operating quiescent current, internal compensation, ceramic-capacitor compatibility, and MSOP-10 EP package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The MPQ2454GH-P implements peak-current-mode PWM control with blanking and slope compensation for stable regulation under transient load steps. Its oscillator supports external resistor programming (RFREQ) or synchronization to an external clock (350kHz–2.3MHz), with frequency foldback during start-up and short-circuit conditions to limit inductor current.
It integrates a 3.5V internal regulator powering control circuitry across full VIN range, a floating bootstrap driver with 5V BST regulation, and a dedicated low-current refresh switch enabling 100% duty-cycle operation when BST–SW > 2.5V-critical for automotive cold-crank (VIN as low as 3.3V at full load).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.3V to 36V - supports wide automotive battery rails including cold-crank (down to ~3.3V) and load-dump transients. |
| Output Current | Up to 0.6A - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and CAN transceivers in automotive ECUs. |
| Switching Frequency | 350kHz to 2.3MHz - programmable via FREQ pin resistor; enables compact magnetics and EMI optimization. |
| Quiescent Current | 60μA - enables always-on subsystems in battery-powered automotive modules without excessive drain. |
| Shutdown Current | 3.5μA - ensures minimal battery leakage during vehicle sleep mode. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.8V ±2% - precise voltage regulation with external resistor divider; enables accurate 3.3V, 5V, or custom outputs. |
| Power Good Accuracy | ±10% window with 4.5% hysteresis - provides reliable system reset and sequencing signaling. |
Pinout & Package
MPQ2454GH-P is housed in an MSOP-10 EP (exposed pad) package. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance and reliability in automotive environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switch Node | Drives external inductor; requires low-VF Schottky diode to GND for flyback path and spike suppression. |
| 2 VIN | Main Input Supply | Powers internal regulators and high-side MOSFET; requires local low-ESR decoupling capacitor. |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | Common return for power and signal paths; connect output capacitor directly to minimize high-current loop area. |
| 4 SS | Soft-Start Control | Sources 1.8µA to external capacitor; sets controlled output ramp time and prevents inrush current. |
| 5 FB | Feedback Input | Compares divided output voltage against 0.8V reference; determines regulated output level. |
| 6 POKDL | Power-Good Delay | Sinks 1.8µA to external capacitor; programs delay before POK asserts high after output stabilization. |
| 7 POK | Open-Drain Power Good | Asserts high-Z when VOUT is within ±10%; pulled low during fault or shutdown; requires external pull-up. |
| 8 FREQ | Frequency Programming | Connects to GND via resistor (e.g., 49.9kΩ for 1MHz); sets oscillator frequency and enables sync mode. |
| 9 EN/SYNC | Enable & Clock Input | Digital enable (1.8V logic high) or external clock input (350kHz–2.3MHz) for synchronization. |
| 10 BST | Bootstrap Supply | Charges external BST capacitor (BST–SW); enables high-side gate drive; requires 0.1µF ceramic cap to SW. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal High-Side MOSFET | 200mΩ RDS(on) - reduces conduction loss and eliminates external high-side switch in space-constrained designs. |
| Low Quiescent Current | 60μA operating / 3.5μA shutdown - extends battery life in always-on automotive modules (e.g., body control units). |
| Cold-Crank Support | 100% duty cycle capability down to VIN ≈ 3.3V - maintains regulation during engine cranking where battery drops below 6V. |
| Programmable Power Good | Adjustable delay via POKDL capacitor - enables precise power sequencing with downstream processors or PMICs. |
| Stable with Ceramic Capacitors | No external compensation required - simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and improves reliability vs. electrolytic alternatives. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ2451GJ-AEC1 | 0.5A output, fixed 2.2MHz switching frequency, no FREQ or POKDL pins | Lacks programmable frequency and power-good delay; simpler layout but less flexible sequencing | Select when fixed-frequency EMI control suffices and POK delay is unnecessary. |
| TI LM61460QPWRQR | 0.6A, 3.3V–36V, integrated low-side FET, 40μA IQ, requires external compensation | Synchronous architecture improves light-load efficiency; adds complexity with external compensation network | Select when highest light-load efficiency is critical and board space allows extra components. |
Compared with MPQ2454GH-P, MPQ2451GJ-AEC1 trades flexibility for simplicity and lower cost, while LM61460QPWRQR offers synchronous efficiency gains at the expense of design complexity and lack of AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended input voltage for MPQ2454GH-P?
The absolute maximum VIN rating is 40V, but continuous operation above 36V violates the specified operating range and risks permanent damage. The device is characterized and guaranteed for reliable operation from 3.3V to 36V, with thermal derating required above 24V at full load due to power dissipation limits in the MSOP-10 EP package.
Does MPQ2454GH-P require external compensation components?
No. MPQ2454GH-P features fully internal compensation, eliminating the need for external RC networks on the COMP or FB pins. This simplifies layout, reduces BOM count, and improves production yield-confirmed in the datasheet's "Internal Compensation" feature and functional block diagram.
How is the power-good delay time set on MPQ2454GH-P?
The POK delay is programmed by connecting a capacitor from POKDL pin to GND. The delay time (tDL) follows tDL = CPOKDL × 1.2V / 1.8µA. For example, a 100nF capacitor yields ~67ms delay. This allows precise coordination with downstream processor reset timing without additional logic.
Can MPQ2454GH-P operate with 100% duty cycle during cold-crank?
Yes. When BST–SW voltage exceeds 2.5V, the device enters low-dropout mode enabling 100% duty cycle. Combined with active BST capacitor refresh via internal low-current switch, it sustains regulation down to VIN ≈ 3.3V at full 0.6A load-verified in Figure 4 (Minimum Input Voltage vs. Load Current) of the datasheet.
What package thermal enhancements are required for automotive use?
The MSOP-10 EP package requires the exposed thermal pad to be soldered to a minimum 100mm² copper pour connected to PCB ground. Thermal resistance θJA is 55°C/W on a 4-layer JEDEC board; insufficient copper area or missing thermal vias will cause premature thermal shutdown above 85°C ambient at full load.
Is MPQ2454GH-P pin-compatible with other MPQ245x variants?
Yes. MPQ2454GH-P shares identical pinout and footprint with MPQ2454GH, MPQ2454GH-AEC1, and MPQ2454GQ variants. However, AEC-Q100 qualification applies only to -AEC1 suffix parts; the -P suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging with enhanced traceability for automotive production.
