Product details
Overview
SiP12117DMP-T1-GE4 from Vishay Siliconix is a monolithic current-mode constant-on-time (CM-COT) synchronous buck regulator with integrated 85 mΩ high-side and 55 mΩ low-side MOSFETs, delivering up to 3 A continuous output current at 600 kHz switching frequency from a 4.5 V–15 V input, generating adjustable output down to 0.6 V for graphics card and notebook power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SiP12117DMP-T1-GE4 datasheet, SiP12117DMP-T1-GE4 pinout, SiP12117DMP-T1-GE4 application, or SiP12117DMP-T1-GE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultrafast transient response enabled by CM-COT architecture, integrated compensation eliminating external loop components, 2.9 ms soft-start timing, cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection, and thermal pad-equipped DFN10-33C package for high-power-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SiP12117DMP-T1-GE4 implements a current-mode COT control scheme using valley-current sensing via RDS(on) of the low-side FET, with fixed on-time generation (138 ns typ. at VIN = 12 V, VOUT = 1 V) and internal 0.6 V reference (±15 mV over temperature). Its PWM logic includes zero-crossing detection for diode emulation in light-load conditions and automatic frequency scaling down to hundreds of Hz at no load.
Protection functions are tightly coupled to real-time operation: overtemperature shutdown triggers at 145 °C (typ.) with 35 °C hysteresis; input UVLO activates at 2.8 V rising edge with 550 mV hysteresis; and cycle-by-cycle OCP compares sensed valley current against 4.25 A (typ.) threshold after blanking time-enabling immediate pulse skipping without delay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input voltage range | 4.5 V to 15 V - supports wide-input industrial and computing rails without pre-regulation |
| Output voltage range | 0.6 V to 5.5 V - set via external resistor divider; 0.6 V reference enables core voltage regulation for modern SoCs |
| Continuous output current | 3 A - sustained delivery with integrated MOSFETs eliminates need for external power stage |
| Switching frequency | 600 kHz (fixed) - balances efficiency, size, and EMI; minimal variation across load due to COT architecture |
| Feedback reference voltage | 600 mV (±15 mV, -40 °C to +85 °C) - precise setting point for output accuracy and load regulation |
| Shutdown current | < 5 μA typ. - enables ultra-low quiescent power in system standby modes |
| Thermal resistance θJA | 36.3 °C/W - verified with exposed thermal pad; supports 3 A operation in compact 3 mm × 3 mm footprint |
Pinout & Package
The SiP12117DMP-T1-GE4 is housed in a lead-free 3 mm × 3 mm DFN10-33C package with an exposed thermal pad (AGND) on the bottom for enhanced heat dissipation and low-inductance grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 FB | Feedback input | Connects to resistor divider midpoint; senses 0.6 V reference to regulate VOUT; bias current < 100 nA minimizes divider error |
| 2 VCC | Internal LDO output | Supplies gate driver and control logic; not externally powered; requires local 1 μF decoupling |
| 3 VIN | Main power input | Accepts 4.5–15 V; feeds both power stage and internal regulator; UVLO threshold 2.8 V |
| 4,5 PGND | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for high di/dt switching currents; must be connected directly to thermal pad |
| 6,7 LX | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries full switching waveform; requires tight layout to minimize ringing |
| 8 BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Drives high-side gate; requires ≥100 nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and LX |
| 9 PGOOD | Open-drain status output | Asserts when VOUT is within ±10% of target; pull-up required; 28 Ω typical pull-down resistance |
| 10 EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; enable above 1.5 V, disable below 0.4 V; must not float |
| Pad AGND | Analog ground / thermal slug | Primary thermal path and quiet reference for feedback circuitry; soldered to PCB copper pour |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Integrated compensation | Eliminates external Type-II/III compensation network; reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity |
| Pre-bias startup support | Monitors FB voltage during startup; prevents negative VOUT spikes when output is pre-charged |
| Diode emulation mode | Disables low-side FET at zero-crossing to eliminate reverse conduction losses and improve light-load efficiency |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | Fixed 500 kHz frequency; 3.5 A rating; no integrated soft-start; requires external compensation | Lacks PGOOD and pre-bias startup; less suitable for systems requiring strict power sequencing | Choose MP2315DJ-LF-Z only if lower cost outweighs loss of integrated features and reduced design margin |
| TPS54332DR | Voltage-mode control; 3.5 A rating; external MOSFETs; 500 kHz–2.5 MHz programmable frequency | Higher component count and layout complexity; better for designs needing frequency synchronization or higher current scalability | Select TPS54332DR when flexibility in MOSFET selection or frequency tuning is required over integration and ease-of-use |
Compared with MP2315DJ-LF-Z and TPS54332DR, the SiP12117DMP-T1-GE4 delivers superior transient response and smaller solution size due to its CM-COT architecture and fully integrated power stage, while offering built-in protections and sequencing features that reduce validation effort in consumer electronics designs.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor configuration for SiP12117DMP-T1-GE4?
For optimal high-frequency noise suppression and input loop stability, use two ceramic capacitors placed close to VIN and PGND pins: one 100 nF (0402) and one 10 μF (1210), both rated ≥35 V. The 100 nF capacitor handles switching ripple, while the 10 μF provides bulk energy storage. Layout must minimize loop area between VIN, PGND, and the capacitors to reduce EMI and voltage spikes on the LX node.
Does SiP12117DMP-T1-GE4 support pre-bias startup, and how does it behave?
Yes, SiP12117DMP-T1-GE4 supports pre-bias startup. During enable, the device monitors the FB pin voltage; if it exceeds the internal reference ramp value, the control logic inhibits switching of both high-side and low-side FETs to prevent reverse current flow and negative VOUT spikes. This ensures safe startup into an already charged output rail, critical for hot-swap and multi-rail sequencing applications.
What is the function of the AGND thermal pad on SiP12117DMP-T1-GE4, and how should it be connected?
The AGND thermal pad on SiP12117DMP-T1-GE4 serves dual roles: it provides the primary thermal path to the PCB and acts as the analog ground reference for the feedback and control circuitry. It must be soldered to a dedicated, low-impedance copper pour connected to the system AGND plane via ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter), and electrically isolated from PGND except at a single-point connection near the input capacitors to avoid noise coupling.
How does the SiP12117DMP-T1-GE4 achieve ultrafast transient response?
The SiP12117DMP-T1-GE4 achieves ultrafast transient response through its current-mode constant-on-time (CM-COT) architecture, which senses inductor valley current in real time and adjusts off-time dynamically-eliminating loop compensation delays. Combined with integrated MOSFETs and low-output-impedance design, this enables <10 μs undershoot recovery (e.g., 0 A → 3 A step) and stable regulation with only 66 μF total ceramic output capacitance, reducing reliance on high-ESR bulk capacitors.
What protection features are implemented in SiP12117DMP-T1-GE4, and how do they activate?
SiP12117DMP-T1-GE4 implements cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection (OCP), overtemperature protection (OTP), and input under-voltage lockout (UVLO). OCP triggers when valley current exceeds 4.25 A (typ.), skipping high-side pulses until current falls below threshold. OTP shuts down both FETs at 145 °C (typ.) with 35 °C hysteresis. UVLO disables operation below 2.8 V (rising edge) with 550 mV hysteresis-ensuring reliable start-up and fault containment without external supervision.
