MP4561
1.5A, 2MHz, 55V
Step-Down Converter
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
The MP4561 is a high frequency step-down
switching regulator with integrated internal high-
side high voltage power MOSFET. It provides
1.5A output with current mode control for fast loop
response and easy compensation.
The wide 3.8V to 55V input range accommodates
a variety of step-down applications, including
those in automotive input environment. A 12µA
shutdown mode supply current allows use in
battery-powered applications.
High power conversion efficiency over a wide
load range is achieved by scaling down the
switching frequency at light load condition to
reduce the switching and gate driving losses.
The frequency foldback helps prevent inductor
current runaway during startup and thermal
shutdown provides reliable, fault tolerant
operation.
By switching at 2MHz, the MP4561 is able to
prevent EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) noise
problems, such as those found in AM radio and
ADSL applications.
The MP4561 is available in small 3mm x 3mm
10-pin QFN with exposed pad 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

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.

Description
Switch Node. This is the output from the high-side switch. A low V
F
Schottky rectifier to
ground is required. The rectifier must be close to the SW pins to reduce switching spikes.
Enable Input. Pulling this pin below the specified threshold shuts the chip down. Pulling it
up above the specified threshold or leaving it floating enables the chip.
Compensation. This node is the output of the GM error amplifier. Control loop frequency
compensation is applied to this pin.
Feedback. This is the input to the error amplifier. An external resistive divider connected
between the output and GND is compared to the internal +0.8V reference to set the
regulation voltage.
Ground. It should be connected as close as possible to the output capacitor avoiding the
high current switch paths. Connect exposed pad to GND plane for optimal thermal
performance.
Switching Frequency Program Input. Connect a resistor from this pin to ground to set the
switching frequency.
Soft start programming mode. Connect a capacitor between SS and GND to set the soft
start time.
Input Supply. This supplies power to all the internal control circuitry, both BST regulators
and the high-side switch. A decoupling capacitor to ground must be placed close to this
pin to minimize switching spikes.
Bootstrap. This is the positive power supply for the internal floating high-side MOSFET
driver. Connect a bypass capacitor between this pin and SW pin.
