Product details
Overview
MPQ8875AGVE-0000-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a 36V, 5A, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, four-switch synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter with I²C programmability. It operates across 2.2V–36V input and delivers 0.5V–30V output in CCM, using proprietary constant-on-time (COT) control to enable seamless buck/boost/buck-boost mode transitions-critical for automotive camera monitor and infotainment power rails where VIN may dip below or exceed VOUT.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ8875AGVE-0000-P datasheet, MPQ8875AGVE-0000-P pinout, MPQ8875AGVE-0000-P application, or MPQ8875AGVE-0000-P equivalent, key selection factors include its I²C-configurable switching frequency (200kHz–1MHz), spread-spectrum EMI reduction, OTP-default register settings, and integrated 10mΩ/25mΩ MOSFETs enabling high-efficiency operation at 450kHz with 10μH inductors in FCCM mode.
Technical Context
The MPQ8875AGVE-0000-P implements a fully integrated four-switch buck-boost topology with independent high-side and low-side MOSFETs per half-bridge (10mΩ buck HS, 25mΩ buck LS, 10mΩ boost LS, 25mΩ boost HS), enabling bidirectional power flow and true buck-boost regulation without external switches. Its COT control architecture dynamically adjusts on-time based on output voltage error and input conditions, ensuring stable regulation during rapid VIN transients-e.g., cold-crank (4.5V) to load-dump (36V) in automotive systems.
Control is executed via a standard I²C interface supporting dynamic output voltage slew-rate adjustment, configurable UVLO/OVP thresholds, mode transition hysteresis (±0.03VOUT), and real-time junction temperature readback. All protection functions-including cycle-by-cycle current limiting (2A–9A range), output short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown (150°C–170°C)-are hardware-asserted with fault latching and auto-recovery timers (2–16ms).

Pinout & Package
MPQ8875AGVE-0000-P is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-34 (4mm × 5mm) package with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. The layout features dedicated high-current PGND1/PVIN/SW1 and PGND2/PVOUT/SW2 clusters, dual bootstrap pins (BST1/BST2), and separate AGND/VCC for noise isolation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 EN | Enable & UVLO threshold input | Logic-controlled on/off with internal 1.3µA pull-up; resistor divider from PVIN sets custom input under-voltage lockout (e.g., 6V start-up). |
| 2 SYNC | Sync input/output | Configurable via I²C: accepts external clock (250kHz–1MHz) or outputs chip's switching clock to synchronize adjacent converters. |
| 3–5, 17–19, 26, 33 PGND1/PGND2 | Power ground return paths | Eight dedicated ground pins split between buck (PGND1) and boost (PGND2) half-bridges to minimize ground bounce and improve EMI performance. |
| 6–8, 27, 34 PVIN | Main input power supply | Five parallel PVIN pins reduce impedance and thermal stress; require local bulk + ceramic bypass capacitors near each pin group. |
| 9, 28–30 SW1 / 16, 25, 31–32 SW2 | High-side/low-side switch node outputs | Four SW1 and four SW2 pins per bridge enable low-inductance connection to external inductor; internal paralleling reduces RDS(on) impact. |
| 10 BST1 / 15 BST2 | Bootstrap supply for high-side drivers | Capacitor-connected floating supplies (SW1→BST1, SW2→BST2) enable gate drive above source potential; 100nF ceramic required. |
| 11 SDA / 12 SCL | I²C serial data/clock | Open-drain interfaces requiring external pull-ups to VCC; support runtime reconfiguration of all operating parameters and fault monitoring. |
| 13 AGND | Analog signal ground | Isolated reference for internal error amplifier, ADC, and I²C logic; must be connected to clean ground plane, separate from PGND if possible. |
| 14 VCC | Internal 5V regulator output | Supplies gate drivers, control logic, and I²C interface; requires 1–10µF low-ESR ceramic bypass to AGND for stability. |
| 20–22 PVOUT | Regulated output power | Three parallel PVOUT pins deliver up to 5A; require tight-layout output capacitor bank with short return path to PGND2. |
| 23 VFB | Feedback input | Connects to internal error amp; supports external RC compensation network for loop stability tuning across wide VOUT and load ranges. |
| 24 PG | Power good open-drain indicator | Asserts low when VOUT deviates >±3% from target; requires external 100kΩ pull-up to VCC for system power sequencing feedback. |

FAQ
What is the default output voltage configured in the OTP memory of MPQ8875AGVE-0000-P?
The OTP register of MPQ8875AGVE-0000-P is factory-programmed with a default output voltage of 11.5V, configured for forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) at 450kHz switching frequency. This setting enables immediate operation upon power-up without I²C initialization, and can be modified via I²C write commands to address 0x00h (VOUT_MSB) and 0x01h (VOUT_LSB) registers.
Does MPQ8875AGVE-0000-P support dynamic output voltage adjustment during operation?
Yes-MPQ8875AGVE-0000-P supports real-time VOUT adjustment via I²C with programmable slew rate control. Writing new values to the VOUT register triggers a smooth voltage ramp with user-defined step interval (20–166.67μs) and step size, preventing transient glitches during mode transitions or load changes in camera and radar systems.
How does the COT control architecture handle input voltage transitions across the buck-boost crossover point?
The MPQ8875AGVE-0000-P's proprietary COT control continuously monitors VIN relative to VOUT and adjusts switching behavior in real time. During VIN crossing (e.g., rising from 10V to 14V across 12V VOUT), it seamlessly shifts between buck, buck-boost, and boost modes with <100ns delay and no output deviation exceeding ±0.5%, verified in typical application circuits with 10μH inductors.
What thermal derating applies to the 5A output current rating?
The 5A continuous output rating is specified at TA ≤ 85°C with proper PCB copper area (≥4 cm² 2oz thermal pad). Above 85°C, current must be linearly derated to 0A at 150°C junction temperature. Thermal resistance θJA is 31°C/W on the EVQ8875A-VE-00A evaluation board, enabling 5A operation up to 105°C ambient with 2-layer heatsinking.
Can the MPQ8875AGVE-0000-P be synchronized to an external clock while operating in spread-spectrum mode?
No-the spread-spectrum function is disabled when the SYNC pin is configured for external clock synchronization. In sync-input mode, the device locks to the external clock (250kHz–1MHz) with ±15% PLL accuracy, but frequency dithering is inactive. Spread spectrum is only available in free-running mode or sync-output mode.
What is the minimum output voltage achievable in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)?
In DCM, MPQ8875AGVE-0000-P supports output voltages from 5V to 30V. Below 5V, the device automatically forces FCCM operation to maintain regulation stability and avoid subharmonic oscillation. This behavior is hard-coded and cannot be overridden via I²C.
How is reverse current limited during light-load or no-load conditions?
Reverse current is actively limited to −2.5A to −4.7A (configurable via I²C register 0x0Ch bits[5:0]) using valley-current detection. When inductor current falls below the selected negative threshold, the low-side switch is turned off to prevent energy backflow-critical for protecting upstream sources in battery-powered ADAS modules.
