MP5505A
7V, 4A, High-Efficiency Energy Storage and
Management Unit
The Future of Analog IC Technology
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The MP5505A is a lossless energy storage and
management unit targeted at solid-state and
hard-disk drive applications. Its highly integrated
input current limit and energy storage and
release management makes the system solution
very compact.
The internal input-current-limit block with dv/dt
control prevents inrush current during system
start-up; the bus voltage start-up slew rate is
programmable. Also, it includes a power-on-reset
function for hot-swapping. MPS’ patented energy
storage and release management control circuit
minimizes the storage capacitor requirement. It
pumps the input voltage to a higher storage
voltage and releases the energy over a hold-up
time to the system in the case of an input outage.
The storage voltage and the release voltage are
both programmable for different system
applications.
The MP5505A requires a minimal number of
readily available, standard, external components
and is available in a QFN-20 (3mm x 4mm)
package.

Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum power dissipation is a function of the maximum
junction temperature TJ (MAX), the junction-to-ambient
thermal resistance θJA, and the ambient temperature TA. The
maximum continuous power dissipation at any ambient
temperature is calculated by PD (MAX) = (TJ (MAX)-TA)/θJA.
Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will
produce an excessive die temperature, causing the regulator
to go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal shutdown
circuitry protects the device from permanent damage.

MP5505A – ENERGY STORAGE AND MANAGEMENT UNIT
OPERATION
The MP5505A is an energy storage and
management unit in a QFN-20 (3mm×4mm)
package. It provides a very compact and
efficient energy management solution for
typical solid-state drive or hard-disk drive
applications. MPS patented lossless energy
storage and release management circuits use a
bi-directional buck/boost converter to achieve
optimal energy transfer and provide the most
cost-effective energy storage solution.
The integrated boost converter raises the
energy-storage voltage level. The storage
feedback resistor divider sets the storage
voltage. If the input shuts down suddenly, the
internal buck converter transfers the energy
from the storage capacitor to the bus and holds
the bus voltage when the system consumes the
energy from the storage capacitor. The buck
converter can work in 100% duty cycle
operation to deplete fully the stored energy.
Start-Up
When VIN starts-up, the VB bus voltage is
charged from 0 to VIN (nearly). The VB rising
slew rate is controlled by DVDT capacitance.
This function avoids the input-inrush current
and provides protection to the whole system.
EHCH is used to enable the storage charge and
release circuitry. If ENCH is already high before
VB finishes the DVDT process, the storage
charge circuitry works automatically when VIN
is higher than the UVLO (2.5V, typically).
The storage charge circuitry operates in two
modes: pre-charge mode (where the STRG
voltage is charged to the VB voltage using a
current source) and boost mode (where the
STRG voltage is charged to set the voltage).
The pre-charge mode charges the STRG
voltage up to the VB voltage using an almost
constant current source (around 130mA). When
STRG voltage is close to VB and VB voltage is
higher than a certain threshold (where the
corresponding FBB is higher than 0.813V),
boost mode is initiated.
Boost mode charges the STRG voltage to the
target voltage. Figure 2 shows the charging
build-up process when ENCH is high before VB
starts up.
It is recommended strongly to enable ENCH
after VB has settled (see Figure 3). Because
release mode is triggered when FBB voltage is
lower than 0.79V (although there is a 23mV
hysteresis between boost mode and release
mode, in some high-current charges boost
mode can be programmed by ICH), VB voltage
may be pulled back low and accidently enter
release mode. In order to avoid this, enable
ENCH after VB settles. Figure 3 shows the
charging build-up process when ENCH is
enabled after VB settles.

Storage Voltage
After the start-up period, the internal boost
converter regulates automatically the storage
voltage to a set value. The MP5505A uses
burst mode to minimize the converter’s power
loss. When the storage voltage drops below the
set voltage, burst mode initiates and charges

MP5505A – ENERGY STORAGE AND MANAGEMENT UNIT
the storage capacitor. During the burst period,
the current limit and the low-side MOSFET (LSFET) control the switch. When the LS-FET
turns on, the inductor current increases until it
reaches its current limit. The boost-current limit
can be programmed by an ICH resistor. By
floating ICH, the boost-current limit is around
500mA. After hitting the current limit, the LSFET turns off for the set minimum off-time. At
the end of this minimum off-time, if the
feedback voltage remains below the 0.79V
internal reference, the LS-FET turns on again;
otherwise the MP5505A waits until the voltage
drops below the threshold before turning on the
LS-FET.
Release
The MP5505A monitors continuously the input
and bus voltages. Once the bus voltage drops
below the selected release voltage (such as
when losing input power), the internal boost
converter stops charging and works in buckrelease mode. In buck mode, the part transfers
energy from the high-voltage storage capacitor
to the low-voltage bus capacitor. Determine the
release voltage by selecting resistor values for
the bus resistor divider.
VSTRG
The input-current limiter controls carefully the
input-inrush current of the internal hot-swap
MOSFET to prevent an inrush current from the
input to the bus. A capacitor connected to dv/dt
sets the soft-start time. Despite the soft-start
process, ILIM can limit the steady-state current.
Connect a resistor between ILIM and GND to
set the current limit.
Reverse-Current Protection
The hot-swapping circuit uses reverse-current
protection to prevent the storage energy from
transferring back to the input when energy is
released from the storage capacitors to bus.
The hot-swap MOSFET turns on when the input
voltage exceeds the VIN UVLO threshold
during start-up (or when input voltage is about
0.2V higher than VB voltage). The hot-swap
MOSFET turns off when input voltage falls
below the bus voltage during release (or input
falls below the PGIN threshold).
Start-Up Sequencing
Connect a capacitor across DVDT to program
the soft-start time; during soft-start, the energy
storage capacitors will charge. Very short dv/dt
times can trigger the current-limit threshold.
Select the DVDT capacitor based on the
storage capacity.

Voltage
When the voltage on FBS (storage feedback)

Bus Power-Good Indicator (PGIN)
Figure 4. Release Times
The released buck applies the fixed-frequency
constant-on-time (COT) control and enables the
fast transition between the charge and release
modes. The buck converter works at 100% duty
cycle until the storage-capacitor voltage
approaches the bus voltage. Then the storage
and bus voltages drop until they reach the DCDC converter’s UVLO (see Figure 4).
When the voltage on FBB (bus feedback) falls
below 1.0×VFBB, the MP5505A pulls PGIN low to
indicate the releasing status. When MP5505A
works in boost mode, PGIN is pulled high to
indicate the charging status.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Selecting Input Capacitor and TVS
Capacitors at VIN are recommended to absorb
possible voltage spikes during input-power turn
on, input-switch hard off (during power off), or
other special conditions. The application
determines the capacitor. For example, if the
input-power trace is too long (with higher
parasitic inductance) during the input-switch
hard-off period, more energy pumps into the
input. This means more input capacitors are
needed to ensure the input voltage spike stays in
a safe range. Use a 0.1uF (or larger) capacitor
based on the spike condition.
Keep inrush-current requirements in mind when
selecting an input capacitor. Typically, more input
capacitors result in a higher input-inrush current
during hot-plugging. A smaller input capacitor is
needed for a smaller inrush current. MP5505A
works normally with a very small input capacitor.
However, this leads to a possible high-voltage
spike. An efficient solution is to add a TVS diode
at the input to absorb the possible input-voltage
spike. At the same time, keep the inrush current
small during hot-plugging. A typical TVS diode,
like SMA6J5.0A, is recommended.
Setting the Storage Voltage
Set the storage voltage by choosing the external
feedback resistors R11 and R12 shown in Figure

VFBB is 0.79V, typically. However, R1 and R2 not
only determine the release voltage, but also
affect stability. Since the release-buck mode
works in COT mode, avoid small resistor values
to ensure a sufficient voltage ramp. Generally,
choose R1//R2≥20kΩ for stable performance with
CB=22μF. Table 2 lists the recommended resistor
values for different release voltages.

Where VFBS is 0.79V, typically. R11 and R12 are
not critical for normal operation. Select R11 and
R12 higher than 10kΩ to account for the bleed
current. For example, if R12 is 14kΩ, R11 is then:

MP5505A – ENERGY STORAGE AND MANAGEMENT UNIT
when VIN loses input power. Use a generalpurpose electrolytic capacitor or low-profile POS
capacitor for most applications. One 4.7uF
ceramic capacitor is recommended if the
electrolytic capacitor ESR is high.
Select a storage capacitor with a voltage rating
that exceeds the targeted storage voltage.
Consider the capacitance reduction with the DC
voltage offset when choosing the capacitors.
Different capacitors have a different capacitance
de-rating performance. Choose a capacitor with
enough voltage rating to guarantee enough
capacitance.
The required capacitance depends on the length
of the “dying gasp” for a typical application.
Assume the release current is IRELEASE when VB
voltage is regulated at VRELEASE for the DC-DC
converter, the storage is VSTORAGE, and the
required dying gasp time is τDASP. The required
storage capacitance is then:

Input Hot-swap Voltage Drop
MP5505A integrates one back-to-back MOSFET
between VIN and VB for current limit and reverse
current blocking. The voltage drop on this FET
may affect application when VIN voltage is low.
One load switch such as MP5090 is suggested to
place in parallel with MP5005A input hot-swap
MOSFET, as Figure 7 block diagram. In this
application, OUT1 and OUT2 of MP5090 must be
connected together without capacitor to GND.
PGB of MP5505A will enable MP5090 and
provide much lower resistance between VIN and
VB power, while providing reverse current block
at the same time.
Consider the power loss during release; the buck
converter can run up to 90% efficiency in most
applications. Select storage capacitance at
1.1xCs to ensure enough releasing time. If
IRELEASE=1A, τDASP=20ms, VSTORAGE=12V, and
VRELEASE=4.2V, then the required storage
capacitance is 1500μF.
For typical applications using a 5V input supply,
set the storage voltage above 10V to utilize fully
the high-voltage energy and minimize the storage
capacitance requirements. Generally, use the
16V POS capacitor or 25V electrolytic capacitors.
Selecting the External Diode
An external diode parallel with the high-side
power MOSFET (HS-FET) is optional for normal
charge mode operation. This diode improves the
boost efficiency if the boost peak current is high.
The voltage rating should be higher than the
storage voltage, and the current rating should be
higher than the current programmed by ICH.
Setting the Input Hot-Swap Current Limit
Connect a resistor from ILIM to GND to set the
current-limit value. For example, a 1.2kΩ resistor
sets the current limit to about 4.1A. Table 3 lists
Figure 7.MP5505A parallel with MP5090
Selecting the Inductor
The inductor is necessary to supply constant
current to the load. Since boost mode and buck
mode share the same inductor, and generally the
buck mode current is higher, an inductor that at
least supports the buck mode releasing current is
recommended.
Select the inductor based on the buck-release
mode. If the storage voltage is VS, then the
release voltage is VR and the buck running is
fixed at a 500kHz frequency. The inductance
value can be calculated by:

Where ∆IL is the peak-to-peak inductor-ripple
current (which can be set in the range of 30% to
40% of the full releasing current).
The inductor should not saturate under the
maximum inductor peak current.
Setting the Power-On Reset Delay Time
Connect a capacitor to TPOR to set the poweron-reset delay time. Leave TPOR floating for the
default delay time (around 0.4ms). Table 4 lists
the recommended capacitors for different delay
times. In order to eliminate the power-on-reset
delay, connect TPOR directly to VIN.

Setting the Bus Voltage Rise Time
Connect a capacitor to the DVDT to set the bus
voltage start-up slew rate and soft-start time.
Leave DVDT floating for the default soft-start
time (around 0.9ms from 0V to 5V). Table 5 lists
the recommended capacitors for different softstart times at a 5V input condition.

PCB Layout
1) Use short, wide, and direct traces in the
high-current paths (VIN, VB, VBO, SW,
STRG, and GND).
2) Place the decoupling capacitor across VB
and GND as close as possible.
3) Place the decoupling capacitor across
STRG and GND as close as possible.
4) Keep the switching node SW short and
away from the feedback network.
5) Place the external feedback resistors next
to the FB pins.
6) Keep the BST voltage path (BST, C6,
R10, and SW) as short as possible.
A 4-layered layout is recommended to
achieve better thermal performance and
simplify layout.
