DESCRIPTION
The MP28259 is a fully-integrated synchronous,
rectified, step-down switch mode converter with
programmable frequency. It offers a very
compact solution that can achieve a 2A
continuous output current over a wide input
supply range with excellent load and line
regulation, and can operate at high efficiency
over a wide output current load range.
Constant-On-Time
(COT)
control
mode
provides fast transient response and eases loop
stabilization.
Full protection features include SCP, OCP, OVP,
UVP, and thermal shut down.
The MP28259 requires a minimal number of
readily-available standard external components.
The device is available in a space saving
2mmx3mm 12-pin 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.

Name
Description
Supply Voltage. The MP28259 operates from a +4.2V to +20V input rail. C1 is
needed to decouple the input rail. Use wide PCB traces and multiple vias to make the
connection.
System Ground. These pins are the reference ground for the regulated output
voltage, and require special consideration during PCB layout.
Switch Output. Connect with wide PCB traces.
Bootstrap. Requires a capacitor connected between SW and BST pins is required to
form a floating supply across the high-side switch driver.
Bias Supply. Decouple with a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor as close to this pin as
possible.
EN = 1 to enable the MP28259. For automatic start-up, connect EN pin to VIN with a
pull-up resistor.
Feedback. Sets the output voltage when connected to the tap of an external resistor
divider, connected between output and GND.
Frequency. Set during CCM operation. Connect a resistor R
7
to IN to set the
switching frequency. Decouple with a 1nF capacitor.
Power-Good Output, The output of this pin is an open drain that goes high if the
output voltage is higher than 90% of the nominal voltage. There is a delay of (0.5ms
+ 0.5xSS time) delay from FB
≥
90% to PG goes high.
