Product details
Overview
MPQ4347GLE-5-AEC1-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering 4A continuous output at fixed 5V with ultra-low 1µA shutdown current and 3.3V–36V input range. It integrates 60mΩ high-side and 35mΩ low-side MOSFETs, supports 350kHz–2.5MHz configurable switching frequency, and features zero-delay PWM control, power-good (PG) monitoring, and cold-crank low-dropout mode for automotive infotainment and ADAS power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ4347GLE-5-AEC1-Z datasheet, MPQ4347GLE-5-AEC1-Z pinout, MPQ4347GLE-5-AEC1-Z application, or MPQ4347GLE-5-AEC1-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its 42V load-dump tolerance, AAM/FCCM mode flexibility, wettable-flank QFN-17 package for automated optical inspection, and ±1.2% output voltage accuracy over –40°C to +150°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The MPQ4347GLE-5-AEC1-Z implements a fixed-frequency, zero-delay PWM controller with internal gate drivers optimized for fast transient response in automotive environments. Its dual-mode operation-Advanced Asynchronous Modulation (AAM) under light loads and Forced Continuous Conduction Mode (FCCM) under heavy loads-enables high efficiency across 0.1mA–4A output current while maintaining tight regulation.
Thermal management is enhanced by MeshConnect™ flip-chip packaging and integrated thermal shutdown (150°C trip, 20°C hysteresis). The device supports external synchronization, programmable soft-start via capacitor, and configurable frequency setting through a single resistor on the FREQ pin-enabling EMI optimization per CISPR25 Class 5 requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1.2% over –40°C to +150°C; enables direct powering of MCU cores and sensors without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.3V to 36V with 42V load-dump survival; supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank (3.1V) and transients. |
| Continuous Output Current | 4A at ambient; sustained delivery enabled by internal 60mΩ HS-FET and 35mΩ LS-FET with thermal derating per θJA = 44.7°C/W. |
| Quiescent Current | 1µA in shutdown, 3µA in sleep mode; extends battery life in always-on vehicle modules like telematics and domain controllers. |
| Switching Frequency | Configurable 350kHz–2.5MHz via FREQ pin resistor; allows trade-off between inductor size, efficiency, and EMI compliance (CISPR25 Class 5). |
| Power Good Threshold | 94%–106% of nominal VOUT (4.7V–5.3V); open-drain PG signal provides reliable system-level power sequencing and fault detection. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +150°C; validated for under-hood and cockpit applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 reliability standards. |
Pinout & Package
The MPQ4347GLE-5-AEC1-Z is housed in a wettable-flank QFN-17 (3mm × 4mm) package with exposed thermal pad, rated MSL Level 1 and compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SS | Soft-start input | Sources 10µA to external capacitor; controls ramp rate of output voltage to limit inrush current during power-up. |
| 2 FREQ | Frequency configuration | Resistor-to-ground sets fSW from 350kHz to 2.5MHz; enables EMI tuning and inductor size optimization. |
| 3 SYNCIN/MODE | Sync input & mode select | Pull low for AAM (light-load efficiency), pull high for FCCM (low-noise steady-state), or drive with external clock for synchronization. |
| 4,11 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 3.3V–36V; powers internal circuitry and switches; requires local ceramic decoupling for noise suppression. |
| 5,10 PGND | Power ground | High-current return path for HS/LS FETs; must be connected to PCB ground plane with low-inductance layout. |
| 6 BST | Bootstrap supply | Drives HS-FET gate; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW pins for proper high-side gate charging. |
| 7,8 SW | Switch node | Connection point between internal HS/LS FETs; routes to external inductor; critical for EMI and thermal performance. |
| 9 EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; <0.85V disables regulator (1µA IQ), >1V enables operation; no internal pull-up. |
| 12 SYNCO | Synchronization output | Open-drain clock output phase-aligned to internal oscillator or SYNCIN; optional for multi-rail timing coordination. |
| 13 PG | Power good indicator | Open-drain status flag; pulled high externally; asserts low if VOUT falls outside 94%–106% window. |
| 14 DNU | Do Not Use | Must be connected directly to VCC; floating causes undefined behavior and potential malfunction. |
| 15 VCC | Bias supply | Internal 5V LDO output; powers control logic and gate drivers; requires 1µF ceramic capacitor to AGND. |
| 16 AGND | Analog ground | Reference for feedback, PG, and soft-start circuits; separate from PGND to minimize noise coupling. |
| 17 VOUT | Regulated output sense | Direct connection point to output capacitor; used internally for feedback; must be routed with minimal trace length. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wettable-flank QFN-17 package | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints for automotive-grade manufacturing traceability and reliability assurance. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for operation from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature with full stress testing per automotive reliability standards. |
| Zero-delay PWM control | Minimizes output voltage deviation during load transients-critical for powering real-time ADAS processors and radar SoCs. |
| Configurable spread-spectrum modulation | Reduces peak EMI emissions by spreading switching energy across frequency band-meets CISPR25 Class 5 without added shielding. |
| Low-dropout (LDO) mode | Maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 0.3V during cold-crank events, preventing system brownout when battery dips to 3.1V. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ4347JGLE-5-AEC1-Z | QFN-19 package with wettable flanks; adds NC pin and dedicated SYNCIN/MODE pin separation vs. shared function on MPQ4347. | Same electrical specs but improved manufacturability for AOI; preferred for new designs requiring higher process yield verification. | Select when board space permits larger footprint and AOI coverage is mandatory for Tier-1 automotive production. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for startup?
The MPQ4347GLE-5-AEC1-Z has a VIN UVLO rising threshold of 2.8V to 3.2V, allowing reliable startup during automotive cold-crank events down to 3.1V. Below this threshold, the device remains disabled with only 1µA shutdown current drawn.
How does the AAM mode improve light-load efficiency?
AAM mode reduces switching frequency under light loads to minimize gate-driving and switching losses, achieving >85% efficiency at 1mA output. This is implemented automatically when SYNCIN/MODE is pulled low, without requiring external control signals.
Can the output voltage be adjusted externally?
No-the MPQ4347GLE-5-AEC1-Z is a fixed 5V output variant. Output voltage is trimmed at wafer test and cannot be modified; for adjustable versions, refer to the MPQ4347 family's resistor-programmable variants (e.g., MPQ4347GLE-ADJ-AEC1-Z).
What is the purpose of the DNU pin?
Pin 14 is designated Do Not Use and must be connected directly to VCC. Leaving it floating may cause internal logic instability or erratic enable behavior; this connection ensures proper biasing of internal reference circuitry.
Is the BST capacitor value dependent on switching frequency?
Yes-the recommended BST capacitor (0.1µF X7R ceramic) is validated for stable high-side gate drive across the full 350kHz–2.5MHz range. Larger values do not improve performance and may degrade startup timing or cause oscillation.
Does the PG signal require an external pull-up resistor?
Yes-the PG pin is open-drain and must be pulled up to a valid logic voltage (e.g., 3.3V or 5V) with a 10kΩ resistor. Without pull-up, the signal remains undriven and cannot indicate power-good status to system controllers.
How is thermal performance affected by PCB layout?
Thermal resistance θJA = 44.7°C/W assumes a 4-layer board with 2oz copper and thermal vias under the exposed pad. Reducing copper area or omitting vias increases junction temperature by up to 30°C at 4A load, potentially triggering thermal shutdown.
