Product details
Overview
MPQ4419GJ-AEC1-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a synchronous step-down DC/DC converter IC qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1, delivering 1A continuous output current with 4V–36V input range, 0.8V–32.4V adjustable output, and 410kHz default switching frequency. It integrates 90mΩ/55mΩ high- and low-side MOSFETs and operates in forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) for stable automotive cold-crank performance.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ4419GJ-AEC1-Z datasheet, MPQ4419GJ-AEC1-Z pinout, MPQ4419GJ-AEC1-Z application, or MPQ4419GJ-AEC1-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, TSOT23-8 package footprint, power-good (PG) open-drain signal, internal soft-start timing (1.5ms), and synchronization capability across 200kHz–2.2MHz external clock range.
Technical Context
The MPQ4419GJ-AEC1-Z employs peak-current-mode control with internal 0.8V reference and optimized compensation, enabling fast transient response without external loop components. Its integrated bootstrap regulator sustains high-side gate drive during duty cycles up to 95%, supporting operation down to 4V input-critical for automotive cold-crank conditions.
Functional safety features include over-current protection with hiccup-mode recovery, thermal shutdown at 170°C (with 30°C hysteresis), and UVLO with 3.5V rising/3.3V falling thresholds. The PG pin provides validated power-rail status with 90μs delay after VFB reaches 90% of reference, referenced to FB voltage-not absolute output voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 36V continuous - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank dips to 4V and load-dump transients up to 36V. |
| Output Current | 1A continuous - rated under thermal limits in TSOT23-8 package with θJA = 100°C/W on 4-layer PCB. |
| Switching Frequency | Default 410kHz, synchronizable 200kHz–2.2MHz - enables EMI optimization and avoids sensitive bands like AM radio (530–1710kHz). |
| RDS(ON) | 90mΩ (HS) / 55mΩ (LS) - minimizes conduction loss at 1A, enabling >92% efficiency at 12V→3.3V/1A per typical curves. |
| Feedback Reference | 792mV typ (776–808mV) - sets output via resistor divider; tolerance directly impacts output accuracy (e.g., ±1.5% at VOUT = 3.3V). |
| Power Good Threshold | 90% of VFB rising, 84% falling - ensures reliable rail validation independent of absolute VOUT drift. |
| Soft-Start Time | 1.5ms typ (0.55–2.45ms) - prevents inrush current and output overshoot during startup with no external component required. |
Pinout & Package
MPQ4419GJ-AEC1-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced TSOT23-8 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 0.85mm), with exposed pad for improved heat dissipation and RoHS-compliant matte-tin lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - PG | Open-drain power-good indicator | Pulled low until VFB ≥ 90% of reference; delays 90μs before asserting high - confirms regulation stability, not just voltage presence. |
| 2 - IN | Main input supply connection | Accepts 4–36V; requires local 22μF + 0.1μF ceramic decoupling to suppress switching noise and sustain current during transients. |
| 3 - SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor; connects to BST capacitor; voltage swings from GND to VIN - layout critical for EMI and efficiency. |
| 4 - GND | System ground reference | Return path for power and signal; must be low-impedance copper plane with multiple vias to inner layers to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5 - BST | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver | Requires 0.1μF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW; 20Ω series resistor recommended to damp ringing and reduce EMI. |
| 6 - EN/SYNC | Enable input / external clock sync | Logic-high (>1.4V) enables operation; external 200kHz–2.2MHz clock applied here overrides internal oscillator - no pull-up needed due to internal 500kΩ GND resistor. |
| 7 - VCC | Bias supply for internal circuitry | Internally regulated ~5V; requires 0.1–0.22μF ceramic decoupling close to pin - exceeding 0.22μF risks instability. |
| 8 - FB | Feedback input for output regulation | Compares against 0.792V reference; connects to resistor divider tap - trace must be short and远离SW/GND noise sources to avoid regulation error. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C TJ) - validated for engine bay and ADAS power rails with full temperature-range parametric testing. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MPQ4419GJ-AEC1-Z to regulate output?
The MPQ4419GJ-AEC1-Z maintains regulation down to 4V input, enabled by its 95% maximum duty cycle and internal high-side driver architecture. Below 4V, UVLO disables operation - this threshold is fixed and non-adjustable, ensuring reliable cold-crank performance in 12V automotive systems.
Can MPQ4419GJ-AEC1-Z operate without an external bootstrap resistor?
No external bootstrap resistor is required, but a 20Ω resistor between SW and BST is strongly recommended in the datasheet to damp high-frequency ringing on the BST node. Omitting it increases EMI risk and may cause premature high-side FET failure due to voltage overshoot exceeding VBS = VSW + 6V absolute maximum.
How does the power-good (PG) pin behave during thermal shutdown?
During thermal shutdown, the PG pin is actively pulled low regardless of FB voltage level - providing unambiguous fault indication. This behavior is hardwired and cannot be disabled; PG resumes normal regulation monitoring only after die temperature falls below the 140°C hysteresis threshold and the part exits shutdown.
Is the MPQ4419GJ-AEC1-Z compatible with ceramic output capacitors only?
It supports ceramic, tantalum, or low-ESR electrolytic output capacitors. Ceramic is preferred for low ESR and stability; if using tantalum or electrolytic, ensure ESR ≤ 30mΩ to avoid loop instability. The internal compensation is optimized for ceramic, so external type-II compensation is needed for high-ESR types.
What is the purpose of the 500kΩ internal resistor on the EN/SYNC pin?
The internal 500kΩ pull-down resistor allows EN/SYNC to be left floating for automatic shutdown - eliminating need for external pull-down. When driven high, it sinks ≤6μA (at 2V), enabling direct MCU GPIO control without level-shifting. The resistor also enables UVLO adjustment via external divider per Figure 6 in the datasheet.
Does MPQ4419GJ-AEC1-Z require external compensation components?
No external compensation is required - the MPQ4419GJ-AEC1-Z uses an internally optimized Type-II compensation network tied to the FB pin. This reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity, though R1/R2 values still affect loop bandwidth; the datasheet recommends limiting bandwidth to <40kHz for stability with 410kHz fSW.
How is output voltage accuracy affected by temperature drift?
Feedback reference drift is ±0.5mV/°C over −40°C to +125°C, resulting in ≤±1.5% total output error for a 3.3V rail. This is confirmed by Figure 6 in the datasheet showing VFB variation of 0.790V–0.800V across temperature - a tighter spec than many competing AEC-Q100 buck regulators.
