MP111
Dying Gasp Storage and Release
Control IC
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP111 is a dying gasp storage and release
controller. It charges storage capacitor from the
input during normal operation. Once the storage
capacitor is charged to the selected voltage, the
charge is stopped, and the storage capacitor is
separated from the input. The charging circuit
maintains the storage voltage after the charge
is completed.
The MP111 keeps monitoring the input voltage,
and releases the charge from storage capacitor
to input capacitor when the input voltage is
lower than the selected release voltage. It
regulates the input voltage to keep it close to
release voltage for as long as possible.

Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature TJ (MAX), the junction-toambient thermal resistance θJA, and the ambient temperature
TA. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by PD (MAX) = (TJ
(MAX)-TA)/θJA. 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.

MP111 – DYING GASP STORAGE AND RELEASE CONTROL IC
OPERATION
MP111 is a dying gasp storage and release
control IC. It charges the storage capacitors
from input supply during power start up and
keeps refreshing the storage voltage at a
regulated value during normal operation.
MP111 continuously monitors the input voltage.
Once the input voltage is lower than the
programmed release voltage in case of losing
input power, it releases the charge from the
storage capacitors to input, and keeps the input
voltage regulated to the release voltage for as
long as possible. It allows the system to
respond to input power failure.
Start-Up
Release
MP111 keeps monitoring the input voltage.
Once the input voltage is lower than selected
release voltage in case of losing input power,
MP111 moves the charge from high voltage
storage capacitor to low input voltage capacitor.
The release voltage can be determined by
choosing appropriate input resistance divider.
The maximum LDO release current can be as
high as 2.5A. Until the storage capacitor voltage
is near the input voltage, the input voltage loses
its regulation and reduces further. A conceptual
release process of MP111 is shown in Figure 3.
Vstorage
During the power start-up, there are two periods
to charge the storage capacitors. In the first
period, the MP111 pre-charges the large
storage capacitors from 0 to nearly VIN with
built-in inrush current limit. Once the storage
voltage is close to the input voltage, the storage
voltage is boosted and regulated at target
voltage.
The BST pin of MP111 should connect to the
DCDC switch node. Only after the DCDC is
enabled, the MP111 will start boosting. Figure 2
shows the charging build-up process of MP111.

Figure 3 – Timing of Releasing
Gasp Indicator
When the FB2 voltage, feedback voltage for the
input power, is higher than 1.05XVFB2, the
GASP pin will be pulled high. Connect a resistor
across VIN and GASP can drive GASP high.
When the FB voltage is lower than 1.00XVFB2,
the GASP voltage will be internally pulled low.
GASP voltage can be used as communication
indicator signal which states input power
availability.

Select Storage Capacitor
The Storage Capacitor is for energy storage
during normal operation and the energy will be
released to VIN in case of losing input power.
Typically, a general purpose electrolytic
capacitor is recommended.
The voltage rating of storage capacitor needs to
be higher than the targeted storage voltage.
The voltage rating of storage capacitor can be
fully utilized since the voltage on storage
capacitor is very stable during normal operation.
There will be less ripple current/voltage for most
of the time during normal operation. The ripple
current rating of storage cap can be less
consideration.
The needed capacitance is dependent on how

MP111 – DYING GASP STORAGE AND RELEASE CONTROL IC
application. Assume the input release current is
IRELEASE when input voltage is regulated at
VRELEASE for the DCDC converter. The storage
voltage of MP111 is VSTORAGE, and the required
dying gasp time is TDASP. The necessary storage
capacitance can be calculated as following
equation:
Cs
IRELEASE TDASP
VSTORAGE VRELEASE
TD=20ms,
VSTORAGE=20V,
If
IRELEASE=1A,
VRELEASE=10V, the needed storage capacitance is
2000μF. Generally, the storage capacitance
should be chosen a little bit large to avoid
capacitance reduction at high voltage offset.
In typical xDSL applications using a 12V input
supply, it is recommended to set the storage
voltage higher than 20V to fully utilize the high
voltage
energy
and
minimize
storage
capacitance requirements. Generally, a 25V
rated electrolytic capacitor can be used. The
lifetime of electrolytic capacitors can be severely
impacted by both environmental and electrical
factors. One of the most critical electrical factors
is the AC RMS ripple current through the
capacitor which leads to increased capacitor core
temperatures. Normally, for typical industrial uses,
it is recommended to derate the capacitor voltage
rating by as much as 70%-80%. For example, a
25V rated electrolytic capacitor would be used for
a 16V to 20V application.
However, since the MP111 tightly regulates the
storage voltage, the storage capacitor almost has
no AC ripple current going through it. The
resulting refresh rate of the MP111 is very low
which allows customers to safely use a 90%
capacitor derating (6). For example, a 25V
electrolytic capacitor, can safely handle a storage
voltage of up to 22V. Table 3 is some
recommended storage electrolytic capacitors
which can be used in typical xDSL application
PCB Layout Guide
PCB layout is very important to achieve stable
operation. Please follow these guidelines and
take the EVB board layout for references.
1) Connect the BST pin as close as possible to
the SW node of DCDC converter through a
resistor and a small ceramic capacitor. Try to
avoid interconnect the feedback path.
2) Ensure all feedback connections are short
and direct. Place the feedback resistors and
compensation components as close to the
chip as possible.
3) Keep the connection of the storage
capacitors and STRG pin as short and wide
as possible.
