MP2127
2.7-6V Input, 2A, 1.2MHz
Synchronous Step-Down Converter
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
The MP2127 is a fully integrated, internally
compensated 1.2MHz fixed frequency PWM
step-down converter. It is ideal for powering
portable equipment that runs from a single cell
Lithium-Ion (Li+) Battery, with an input range
from 2.7V to 6V. The MP2127 can provide up to
2A of load current with output voltage as low as
0.8V. It can also operate at 100% duty cycle for
low dropout applications. With peak current
mode control and internal compensation, the
MP2127 is stable with ceramic capacitors and
small inductors. Fault condition protection
includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting and
thermal shutdown.
MP2127 is available in
3mmx3mm QFN package.

Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) 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 will cause excessive die temperature, and the
regulator will go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal
shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent
damage.
3) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.
4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

PIN FUNCTIONS
Pin #
1
Name
FB
Description
Feedback input. An external resistor divider from the output to GND, tapped to the FB pin
sets the output voltage.
Ground pin. This pin is the reference ground of the regulated output voltage.
For this reason care must be taken in PCB layout. Suggested to be connected to
GND with copper and vias. Connect exposed pad to ground plane for proper thermal
performance.
Switch node to the inductor
Input supply pin for power FET
Input Supply pin for controller
Power-good indicator output. “Low” output indicates output is outside the window of
regulation level. PGOOD is pulled down in shutdown. PGOOD output has 160us deglitch
timer to avoid false trigger during transient response.
