MP3217
36V, 670kHz Step-up Converter
with a 0.5A Switch
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
The MP3217 is a monolithic step up converter
integrating a 0.5A, 0.6Ω internal switch. The
MP3217 uses current mode, fixed frequency
architecture to regulate the output voltage,
providing fast transient response and cycle by
cycle current limit.
The MP3217 includes under-voltage lockout, over
voltage protection and thermal overload
protection preventing damage in the event of an
output overload.
The MP3217 is available in small 6-pin TSOT23
package. The device is ROHS compliance.

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

(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 Function
Power Ground.
Ground.
Feedback Input. Reference voltage is 1.24V, Connect a resistor divider from the
output to this pin.
ON/OFF Control Input. A voltage greater than 2V will turn the part on and less than
0.8V will turn the part off. When not used, float EN to the input source for automatic
startup.
Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed.
Power Switch Output. SW is the drain of the internal MOSFET switch. Connect the
power inductor and output rectifier to SW.
