Product details
Overview
MPQ4345GLE-5-AEC1-P from Monolithic Power Systems is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified synchronous step-down converter delivering 2A continuous output at fixed 5V with 3.3V–36V input range, 1μA shutdown current, 350kHz–2.5MHz configurable switching frequency, and integrated 60mΩ HS-FET / 35mΩ LS-FET - designed for automotive infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ4345GLE-5-AEC1-P datasheet, MPQ4345GLE-5-AEC1-P pinout, MPQ4345GLE-5-AEC1-P application, or MPQ4345GLE-5-AEC1-P equivalent, key selection criteria include cold-crank support (3.1V), 42V load-dump tolerance, PG output accuracy (±6%), wettable-flank QFN-17 package, and AAM/FCCM mode control via SYNCIN/MODE pin.
Technical Context
The MPQ4345GLE-5-AEC1-P implements zero-delay PWM control with programmable frequency and advanced asynchronous modulation (AAM) to maintain high efficiency across light-to-heavy loads. Its internal power stage integrates matched HS/LS MOSFETs with thermal shutdown, over-current hiccup protection, and low-dropout (LDO) mode for automotive cold-crank conditions.
It features a dedicated soft-start pin (10µA current source), external synchronization capability (SYNCIN/MODE and SYNCO), open-drain power-good output with ±6% window, and bootstrap gate drive with BST-SW refresh thresholds (2.5V–2.9V). The device operates from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature and supports spread-spectrum FSS for EMI reduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.000 V ±1.2% (4900–5100 mV over –40°C to +150°C) |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.3 V to 36 V - supports full automotive battery range including cold crank (3.1V) and 42V load dump survival |
| Continuous Output Current | 2 A - sustained delivery with internal 60 mΩ HS-FET and 35 mΩ LS-FET enabling <1.5W conduction loss at full load |
| Quiescent Current | 3 µA typical in sleep mode - enables >1-year battery standby in always-on automotive modules |
| Switching Frequency | Configurable 350 kHz to 2.5 MHz via resistor on FREQ pin - allows optimization of size (high-f) vs. efficiency (low-f) |
| Power Good Accuracy | ±6% window (94–106% of VOUT) with 50 µs delay - provides reliable system power sequencing feedback |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +150°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood and head-unit applications |
Pinout & Package
MPQ4345GLE-5-AEC1-P is housed in a wettable-flank QFN-17 (3mm × 4mm) package with exposed thermal pad, optimized for automotive reflow inspection and thermal performance (θJA = 44.7°C/W on 4-layer JEDEC board).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SS | Soft-start timing node - 10µA current source charges external capacitor to control inrush current ramp rate |
| 2 | FREQ | Frequency setting - resistor-to-ground configures fSW from 350kHz to 2.5MHz; enables EMI tuning |
| 3 | SYNCIN/MODE | Mode selection and sync input - pull low for AAM (light-load efficiency), high for FCCM, or drive with external clock |
| 4, 11 | VIN | Main input supply - powers control circuitry and HS-FET gate driver; requires local ceramic decoupling |
| 5, 10 | PGND | Power ground return - separate from AGND to minimize noise coupling into feedback path |
| 6 | BST | Bootstrap supply - connects to SW via 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to enable HS-FET gate drive above VIN |
| 7, 8 | SW | Switch node - connects to external inductor; carries high di/dt; layout critical for EMI and efficiency |
| 9 | EN | Enable control - active-high logic (1V threshold); pulls down to 0.85V to enter 1µA shutdown state |
| 12 | SYNCO | Synchronization output - phase-aligned clock signal for multi-rail timing coordination |
| 13 | PG | Open-drain power-good - requires external pull-up; asserts high when VOUT is within ±6% of 5V |
| 14 | DNU | Do-not-use - must be connected directly to VCC per datasheet; floating causes undefined behavior |
| 15 | VCC | Bias supply - regulated 5V internal rail; requires 1µF ceramic capacitor to ground for stability |
| 16 | AGND | Analog ground - reference for feedback, SS, and PG circuits; star-connected to PGND at single point |
| 17 | VOUT | Regulated output sense - direct connection to output capacitor; used for feedback and PG monitoring |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ4345JGLE-5-AEC1-P | QFN-19 package with extra NC and SYNCIN/MODE pins; identical electrical specs and AEC-Q100 qualification | Supports more complex synchronization schemes requiring dedicated MODE control and additional routing flexibility | Select when board layout requires isolation between SYNCIN and MODE functions or when using MPS evaluation boards with QFN-19 footprints |
| TPS62933RQYR | 3.3V–36V, 3A, 1.5µA IQ, but only AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (–40°C to +125°C); no wettable flanks or FSS | Limited to cabin-zone applications without under-hood thermal stress or strict AOI requirements | Choose only if higher current (3A) is required and Grade 1 qualification is not mandated by OEM specification |
Compared with MPQ4345JGLE-5-AEC1-P, the MPQ4345GLE-5-AEC1-P offers identical performance in a smaller QFN-17 footprint ideal for space-constrained displays, while the TPS62933RQYR trades Grade 1 reliability and EMI features for higher current - making it unsuitable for safety-critical ADAS or cluster use.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage supported during cold-crank conditions?
The MPQ4345GLE-5-AEC1-P supports operation down to 3.1V input while maintaining regulated 5V output at full 2A load, enabled by its low-dropout (LDO) mode - verified per AEC-Q100 cold-crank test profiles.
Does this part require an external bootstrap capacitor?
Yes - a 0.1µF X7R ceramic capacitor must be placed between BST and SW pins. This capacitor supplies gate drive energy for the internal high-side MOSFET and is critical for proper startup and regulation.
How is power-good (PG) accuracy defined, and what is its trip window?
PG asserts high when VOUT is within 94% to 106% of nominal 5V (i.e., 4.7V–5.3V), with 50µs delay on both rising and falling edges. The ±6% window is guaranteed over –40°C to +150°C junction temperature.
Can the switching frequency be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes - applying a clock signal to the SYNCIN/MODE pin synchronizes the internal oscillator. The device accepts external clocks from 90% to 115% of its free-running frequency, enabling multi-rail EMI alignment.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) for the QFN-17 package?
θJA is 44.7°C/W measured per JESD51-7 on a 4-layer PCB. On MPS's standard EVB (2oz copper, 4-layer, 8.3cm × 8.3cm), θJA is 29.2°C/W - enabling 2A continuous operation with ≤20°C case rise at TA = 85°C.
Is the DNU pin optional or mandatory to connect?
The DNU pin is mandatory to connect directly to VCC. Leaving it floating violates the absolute maximum ratings and may cause erratic enable behavior or startup failure - per datasheet Section 5, Pin Functions.
What protection features are included beyond over-current?
In addition to hiccup-mode over-current protection, the device includes thermal shutdown (150°C trip, 20°C hysteresis), input over-voltage protection (40V), under-voltage lockout (3.0V rising), and zero-current detection for valley-switching control in AAM mode.
