Overview
MPX2001GY-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is an all-in-one flyback controller IC integrating primary-side MOSFET drive, secondary-side regulation, and synchronous rectification (SR) driver with capacitive isolation. It delivers 4500Vrms isolation, supports both DCM and CCM SR operation, and enables PSR+SSR hybrid control without optocoupler or auxiliary winding feedback. It is used in USB PD 45W AC/DC adapters requiring high efficiency, compact layout, and robust protection.
For engineers reviewing the MPX2001GY-Z datasheet, MPX2001GY-Z pinout, MPX2001GY-Z application, or MPX2001GY-Z equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed application use cases, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts - all grounded in Monolithic Power's Rev. 1.1 datasheet and official evaluation kit documentation.
Technical Context
The MPX2001 implements a dual-domain architecture: primary-side circuitry (HV, PDrv, CS, EBO) handles high-voltage start-up, brown-in/out detection, peak-current mode control with slope compensation, and primary OCP/SCP; secondary-side circuitry (VDD, FB, COMP, IS, SRD, SDrv) performs precise CV/CC regulation, real secondary-sense OLP, and adaptive SR timing synchronized to primary switching via capacitive isolation channel.
Its capacitive isolation barrier enables direct transmission of sync signals between domains, allowing the SR driver (SDrv) to precisely match the primary MOSFET gate drive (PDrv) timing - enabling safe CCM operation and eliminating cross-conduction risk. Protection logic includes independent OTP (150°C), UVLO (VCC: 7–16V; VDD: 4.75–32V), and externally triggered fault handling via PEP pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Voltage | 4500Vrms - UL1577 & IEC 62368 certified; enables reinforced insulation for Class II AC/DC systems without creepage/clearance redesign. |
| Primary HV Breakdown | 650V - integrates HV current source for direct line-start; eliminates external HV startup resistor in <24W designs. |
| SR Operating Modes | DCM & CCM support - allows full-load efficiency optimization across universal input (90–264VAC) and wide output load ranges. |
| Feedback Architecture | Hybrid PSR+SSR - no optocoupler or TL431 required; FB pin senses output voltage directly on secondary side for tight CV regulation (VREF = 1.00V ±0.9%). |
| Protection Suite | OVP (primary-sense & secondary-sense), POCP, real OLP (via IS pin), SCP, B/O & B/I (internal/external), thermal shutdown (150°C), Ext.P - reduces need for discrete protection ICs. |
| Quiescent Current | 300µA (VCC), 300µA (VDD) - enables sub-30mW no-load consumption compliant with DoE Level VI and CoC Tier 2. |
| Switching Frequency | 20–85kHz (PFM/PWM hybrid) - auto-adjusts to load; minimizes audible noise at light loads while maintaining efficiency at full load. |
Pinout & Package
MPX2001GY-Z is packaged in SOICW20 (wide-body 20-pin surface-mount), with pin 9 as NC and dual ground pins (PGND at pins 2 & 7; SGND at pins 14 & 20) for primary/secondary domain separation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (PEP) | External primary protection input | Accepts fault signal (e.g., MOSFET overtemperature or auxiliary-winding OVP); triggers latch-off with 300µs delay - enables system-level safety interlocks. |
| 4 (CS) | Primary peak current sense | Samples MOSFET drain current via shunt; sets current limit (0.6V typ) and enables sensing-short protection (VSCP = 0.9V) - prevents false triggering during line transients. |
| 6 (PDrv) | Primary MOSFET gate driver output | Drives external HV MOSFET with 9.9V high-level (VCC=12V), 100mV low-level, 30ns rise time - ensures fast turn-on/turn-off and low switching loss. |
| 11 (SRD) | SR MOSFET drain voltage sense | Detects SR FET drain-to-source voltage; triggers turn-off at -10 to +10mV threshold - enables zero-voltage switching (ZVS) in DCM and prevents reverse conduction in CCM. |
| 12 (SDrv) | Secondary SR MOSFET gate driver output | Delivers 10.5V drive (VDD=10.5V), 110ns max turn-off delay, 200ns turn-on delay - synchronizes SR timing to primary switch with <1.9µs min on-time control. |
| 18 (FB) | Secondary-side voltage feedback input | Connects to output divider; references 1.00V internal bandgap - achieves ±1% CV accuracy without optocoupler drift or aging effects. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitive isolation barrier | Enables bidirectional sync signaling between primary and secondary domains - eliminates optocoupler latency and enables true CCM SR operation. |
| Adjustable cable drop compensation | CP pin accepts 1µF capacitor + parallel resistors - compensates for voltage drop across USB-C cables up to 3A, maintaining ±5% output regulation at connector. |
| Real secondary-sense overload protection | IS pin monitors output current via sense resistor; triggers OLP at 40mV (±2mV) with 68ms delay - protects battery packs and downstream USB-PD devices from overcurrent faults. |
| Internal/external brown-in/out selection | EBO pin configures sensing path: external resistor divider for precise, adjustable thresholds (VEBO-ON = 1.10V) or short-to-PGND for internal HV-based detection (VHV-ON = 106V). |
| 100% production HIPOT tested | Every unit screened at 4500Vrms/50Hz - guarantees isolation integrity for safety-critical consumer and industrial power supplies. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar all-in-one flyback controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28780RTWR | Uses transformer-coupled communication instead of capacitive isolation; higher VCC UVLO (12.5V); no integrated HV current source - requires external startup circuit. | Requires optocoupler or auxiliary winding for feedback; less suitable for ultra-low no-load designs due to higher quiescent current (500µA). | Preferred when legacy transformer feedback topology must be retained or when higher VCC margin is needed for high-VOUT designs. |
| INN3266C-H205 | Integrated primary MOSFET (650V/1.2Ω); no external PDrv needed; uses digital control with configurable parameters via I²C - adds firmware dependency. | Fixed 650V MOSFET limits flexibility for high-efficiency GaN or SiC primary switches; I²C interface increases design complexity for simple analog systems. | Chosen when BOM reduction is prioritized over design flexibility, and digital configurability justifies added validation effort. |
Compared with UCC28780RTWR and INN3266C-H205, MPX2001GY-Z uniquely combines capacitive isolation, integrated HV start-up, and dual-domain protection - enabling optocoupler-free, low-noise, and ultra-low standby designs without sacrificing layout simplicity or thermal robustness.

FAQ
What is the function of the CP pin on MPX2001GY-Z?
The CP pin provides programmable cable drop compensation for USB PD applications. A 1µF ceramic capacitor is connected to CP as a low-pass filter, and parallel resistors adjust the compensation voltage. When shorted to SGND, CP is disabled - making it optional for non-USB applications where output voltage regulation is referenced directly at the converter output.
Does MPX2001GY-Z require an external optocoupler?
No. MPX2001GY-Z uses capacitive isolation to transmit synchronization signals between primary and secondary domains, eliminating the need for an optocoupler or TL431. Output voltage regulation is performed via the FB pin on the secondary side, and SR timing is synchronized internally - reducing component count and improving reliability.
How does the MPX2001GY-Z handle brown-in/brown-out detection?
It supports dual-mode brown-in/out: internal mode uses HV pin sensing (VHV-ON = 106V, VHV-OFF = 96V), while external mode uses EBO pin with user-defined resistor divider (VEBO-ON = 1.10V). The mode is auto-configured at startup - EBO shorted to PGND selects internal mode; EBO connected to divider selects external mode for tighter tolerance and adjustability.
What is the maximum continuous output power supported by MPX2001GY-Z?
MPX2001GY-Z is validated for up to 45W output in reference designs (e.g., EVKT-MPX2001-45-PD). Its SOICW20 package has θJA = 55°C/W and 2.3W max power dissipation at 25°C ambient. At 40°C ambient, thermal derating limits practical continuous output to ~36W with standard 4-layer PCB layout and natural convection cooling.
Can MPX2001GY-Z drive GaN or SiC primary switches?
Yes. PDrv outputs 9.9V (VCC=12V) with 30ns rise time and 100mV low-level - compatible with enhancement-mode GaN HEMTs and SiC MOSFETs requiring 5–12V gate drive. However, external gate resistors and negative turn-off bias may be needed for optimal switching behavior and dV/dt immunity in high-frequency GaN designs.
What protection features are implemented on the secondary side?
Secondary-side protections include real output overload protection (OLP) via IS pin (40mV threshold, 68ms delay), VDD UVLO (4.3V rising, 3.8V falling), internal thermal shutdown (150°C), and COMP-based OVP. These operate independently of primary-side protections and provide fail-safe response to output short circuits, overloads, and regulator faults.
Is MPX2001GY-Z RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes. MPX2001GY-Z is lead-free, halogen-free, and fully compliant with the EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. MPS confirms green status on its official quality assurance portal, and the SOICW20 package uses matte tin (Sn) lead finish with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level MSL3.
