36V, 6A, Step-Down Converter with Programmable
Frequency and Spread Spectrum Option, Dual USB
Charging Ports, 135°C Load-Shedding Temp
AEC-Q100 Qualified
MPQ4488T
DESCRIPTION
The MPQ4488T integrates a monolithic, step-
down, switch-mode converter with two USB
current-limit switches and charging port
identification circuitry for each port. The
MPQ4488T achieves 6A of output current with
excellent load and line regulation over a wide
input supply range.
The output of each USB switch is current-
limited. Both USB ports support DCP schemes
for battery charging specification (BC 1.2),
divider mode, 1.2V/1.2V mode, and USB Type-
C 5V @ 3A DFP mode, eliminating the need for
outside user interaction.
Full protection features include hiccup current
limiting, output over-voltage protection (OVP),
and thermal shutdown.
The MPQ4488T requires a minimal number of
readily
available,
standard,
external
components and is available in a QFN-26
(5mmx5mm) package.

PIN FUNCTIONS
QFN 5x5
Pin #
Name
Description
Configuration channel.
CC1 is used to detect connections and configure the interface
1
CC1
across the USB1 Type-C cables and connectors. Once a connection is established, CC1
or CC2 is reassigned to provide power over the VCONN pin of the plug.
2
USB1
USB1 output.
3, 15, 25
OUT
Buck output.
OUT is the power input for USB1 and USB2.
Supply voltage.
IN is the drain of the internal power device and provides power to the
entire chip. The MPQ4488T operates from a 6 - 36V input voltage. An input capacitor
4, 14
IN
(C
IN
) prevents large voltage spikes from appearing at the input. Place C
IN
as close to the
IC as possible.
Power ground.
PGND is the reference ground of the regulated output voltage. PGND
5, 13
PGND
requires extra care during the PCB layout. Connect PGND with copper traces and vias.
6
AGND
Analog ground.
Connect AGND to PGND.
7
VCC
Internal 4.5V LDO regulator output.
Decouple VCC with a 1µF capacitor.
8, 9, 26
SW
Switch output.
Use a wide PCB trace to make the connection.
Bootstrap.
A 0.22µF capacitor is connected between SW and BST to form a floating
10
BST
supply across the high-side switch driver.
Buck output voltage set.
Setting OUT_SEL to a low, floating, or high connection can
11
OUT_SEL
set three different output voltages: 5.1V, 5.17V, or 5.3V.
Switching frequency program input.
Connect a resistor from FREQ to GND to set the
switching frequency. Float FREQ or connect FREQ to VCC for the default 450kHz
frequency. Connect FREQ to ground for a 250kHz internal frequency.
For the MPQ4488TGU-FD-AEC1, float FREQ or connect FREQ to VCC to achieve a
±10% frequency spread spectrum based on 450kHz. Connect a resistor from FREQ to
GND or pull FREQ to GND to set the switching frequency without a frequency spread
spectrum.
For the MPQ4488TGU-FD2-AEC1, float FREQ or connect FREQ to VCC to achieve a
±10% frequency spread spectrum based on 250KHz. Connect a resistor from FREQ to
GND or pull FREQ to GND to set the switching frequency without a frequency spread
spectrum.
USB2 output.
Configuration channel.
CC4 is used to detect connections and configure the interface
across the USB2 Type-C cables and connectors. Once a connection is established, CC3
or CC4 is reassigned to provide power over the VCONN pin of the plug.
Configuration channel.
CC3 is used to detect connections and configure the interface

NOTES:
1) Absolute maximum ratings are rated under room temperature
unless otherwise noted. Exceeding these ratings may
damage the device.
2) For details on EN’s ABS max rating, please refer to the EN
Control section on page 11.
3) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature T
J
(MAX), the junction-to-
ambient thermal resistance
θ
JA
, and the ambient temperature
T
A
. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by P
D
(MAX) = (T
J
(MAX)-T
A
)/θ
JA
. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation produces an excessive die temperature, causing
the regulator to go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal
shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent
damage. Measured on a 4-layer PCB (50mmx50mm).
4) HBM, per JEDEC specification JESD22-A114; CDM, per
JEDEC specification JESD22-C101, AEC specification AEC-
Q100-011. JEDEC document JEP155 states that 500V HBM
allows safe manufacturing with a standard ESD control
process. JEDEC document JEP157 states that 250V CDM
allows safe manufacturing with a standard ESD control
process.
5) HBM, with regard to GND.
6) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.
7) The value of
θ
JA
given in this table is only valid for comparison
with other packages and cannot be used for design purposes.
These values were calculated in accordance with JESD51-7
and simulated on a specified JEDEC board. They do not
represent the performance obtained in an actual application.
