MPQ4561
DESCRIPTION
The MPQ4561 is a high-frequency, step-down,
switching regulator with an integrated internal
high-side high voltage power MOSFET. It
provides up to a 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 makes it suitable
for battery-powered applications.
A scaled-down switching frequency in light-load
conditions provides high power-conversion
efficiency over a wide load range while reducing
switching and gate driver losses.
The frequency foldback prevents inductor current
runaway during startup and thermal shutdown
provides reliable, fault tolerant operation.
By switching at 2MHz, the MPQ4561 is able to
prevent EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) noise
problems, such as those found in AM radio and
ADSL applications.
The MPQ4561 is available in a 3mm x 3mm
QFN10 package with an exposed pad.
APPLICATIONS

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

, and the ambient temperature
T

. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by P

. 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 board.

Description
Switch Node. Output of the high-side switch. Requires a low V
F
Schottky rectifier to
ground. Place the rectifier close to the SW pins to reduce switching spikes..
Enable Input. Pull this pin below the specified threshold to shut the chip down. Pull it
above the specified threshold or leaving it floating to enable the chip.
Compensation. GM error amplifier output. Apply control-loop frequency compensation to
this pin.
Feedback. This is the input to the error amplifier. Connect an external resistive divider
connected between the output and GND. Compare to the internal +0.8V reference to set
the regulation voltage.
Ground. Connect as close as possible to the output capacitor and avoid high-current
switching paths. Connect the 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. Supplies power to all the internal control circuitry, both BS regulators, and
the high-side switch. Place a decoupling capacitor to ground 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 the SW pin.
