DESCRIPTION
The MPQ2490 is a monolithic step-down switch
mode converter with programmable output
current limit. It achieves 1.5A continuous output
current over a wide input supply range with
excellent load and line regulation.
The maximum output current can be
programmed by sensing current through the
inductor DC resistance (DCR) or an accurate
sense resistor.

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

T

)/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 approximately 1” square of 1 oz copper.

Supply Voltage. The MPQ2490 operates from a +4.5V to +36V unregulated input. C
IN
is needed to prevent large voltage spikes from appearing at the input. Put C
IN
as close
VIN
to the IC as possible. It is the drain of the internal power device and power supply for
the whole chip.
Ground. This pin is the voltage reference for the regulated output voltage. For this
reason care must be taken in its layout. This node should be placed outside of the D1
GND
to C
IN
ground path to prevent switching current spikes from inducing voltage noise into
the part.
EN
On/Off Control Input. (Only available for the MPQ2490DQ)
Feedback. An external resistor divider from the output to GND, tapped to the FB pin
sets the output voltage. To prevent current limit run away during a short circuit fault
FB
condition the frequency-fold-back comparator lowers the oscillator frequency when the
FB voltage is below 250mV.
Connect to an external capacitor used for Soft-Start and compensation for current
SS
limiting loop.
ISN
Negative Current Sense Input for load current limiting.
ISP
Positive Current Sense
Power good signal. When FB is less than 90% of 0.8V, PGOOD is low. It is an open-
PGOOD drain output. Use a high value pull-up resistor externally to pull it up to system power
supply. (Only available for the MPQ2490DQ)
Bootstrap. This capacitor is needed to drive the power switch’s gate above the supply
voltage. It is connected between SW and BST pins to form a floating supply across the
BST
power switch driver. An on-chip regulator is used to charge up the external boot-strap
capacitor. If the on-chip regulator is not strong enough, one optional diode can be
connected from IN or OUT to charge the external boot-strap capacitor.
SW
Switch Output. It is the source of power device.
