DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
MP171 is a primary-side regulator that provides
accurate constant voltage (CV) regulation
without an opto-coupler. It supports buck, boost,
buck-boost, and flyback topologies. It has an
integrated 700 V MOSFET to simplify the
structure and reduce cost. These features make
it an ideal regulator for offline low-power
applications, such as home appliances and
standby power.
MP171 is a green-mode-operation regulator.
Both the peak current and switching frequency
decrease as the load decreases. This feature
provides excellent efficiency at light load and
improves the overall average efficiency.
MP171 has various protection features
including thermal shutdown (TSD), VCC undervoltage lockout (UVLO), overload protection
(OLP), short-circuit protection (SCP), and openloop protection.
MP171 is available in a small TSOT23-5
package and SOIC-8 package.

maximum junction temperature TJ(MAX), the junction-toambient thermal resistance θJA, and the ambient temperature
TA. The maximum allowance continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by PD(MAX)=(TJ(MAX)TA)/θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowance power dissipation
will produce an excessive die temperature, causing the

OPERATION
The MP171 acts as a fully integrated regulator
when used in buck topology (see Typical
Application on page 1).
Start-Up and Under-Voltage Lockout
The internal high-voltage regulator self-supplies
the IC from DRAIN. When VCC voltage reaches
VCCOFF, the IC starts switching, and the internal
high-voltage regulator turns off. The internal highvoltage regulator turns on to charge the external
VCC capacitor when the VCC voltage falls below
VCCON. A small capacitor (in the low μF range)
maintains the VCC voltage and thus lowers the
capacitor cost.
The IC stops switching when the VCC voltage
drops blow VCCstop.
R
Under fault conditions—such as OLP, SCP, and
TSD—the IC stops switching, and an internal
current source (~16 μA) discharges the VCC
capacitor. The internal high-voltage regulator will
not charge the VCC capacitor until the VCC
voltage drops below VCCpro. The re-start time
can be estimated using Equation (1):

MP171 is a green-mode-operation regulator: The
peak current and the switching frequency both
decrease with a decreasing load. As a result, it
offers excellent light-load efficiency and improves
overall average efficiency. Also, the regulator
incorporates multiple features and operates with
a minimal number of external components.
Figure 2— min off at start-up
Constant Voltage (CV) Operation
The MP171 regulates the output voltage by
monitoring the sampling capacitor.
At the beginning of each cycle, the integrated
MOSFET turns on while the feedback voltage
drops below the 2.55 V reference voltage, which
indicates insufficient output voltage. The peak
current limitation determines the on period. After
the on period elapses, the integrated MOSFET
turns off. The sampling capacitor (C3) voltage is
charged to the output voltage when the
freewheeling diode (D1) turns on. In his way, the
sampling capacitor (C3) samples and holds the
output voltage for output regulation. The
sampling capacitor (C3) voltage decreases when
the L1 inductor current falls below the output
current. When the feedback voltage falls below
the 2.55 V reference voltage, a new switching
cycle begins. Figure 3 shows this operation in
continuous conduction mode (CCM).

IL
Ipeak

The IC stops operation when the VCC voltage
drops below VCCstop; the IC begins operation
when VCC charges to VCCOFF. Every time the
chip starts operation there is a soft-start period.
The soft start prevents the inductor current from
overshooting by limiting the minimum off time.
MP171 adopts a 2 phase minimum off time limit
soft start. Each soft-start phase retains 128
switching cycles. During the soft start, the off
time limit gradually shortens from 48 μs to 18 μs
and finally reaches the normal operation off time
limit (see Figure 2).

MP171 has an internal error amplifier (EA)

MP171 Rev. 1.01
9/21/2018
When the FB voltage drops below VFB_OLP, it is
considered an error flag, and the timer starts. If
the timer reaches 170 ms (fS = 36 kHz), OLP
occurs. This timer duration avoids triggering OLP
when the power supply starts up or the load
transitions. The power supply should start up in
less than 170 ms (fS = 36 kHz). The OLP delay
time is calculated using Equation (6):
Short-Circuit Protection (SCP)
The MP171 monitors the peak current and shuts
down when the peak current rises above the
SCP threshold through short-circuit protection.
The power supply resumes operation with the
removal of the fault.
EA Compensation
VFB
The maximum output power of the MP171 is
limited by the maximum switching frequency and
the peak current limit. If the load current is too
large, the output voltage drops, causing the FB
voltage to drop.
To prevent thermal induced damage, the MP171
stops switching when the junction temperature
exceeds 150°C. During thermal shutdown (TSD),
the VCC capacitor is discharged to VCCpro, and
the the internal high-voltage regulator re-charges.
MP171 recovers when the junction temperature
drops below 120°C.
Open-Loop Detection
If VFB is less than 0.5 V, the IC stops switching,
and a re-start cycle begins. During a soft start,
the open-loop detection is blanked.

Typically, the use of a half-wave rectifier requires
an input capacitor rated at 3 µF/W for the
universal input condition. When using a full-wave
rectifier, an input capacitor is chosen between
1.5~2 µF/W for the universal input condition. A
half-wave rectifier is recommended for a < 2 W output
application, otherwise use a full-wave rectifier.
Under very low input voltage, the inductor current
ramps up slowly; it may not reach the current
limit during τmanon, so the MOSFET maximum on
time should be less than the minimum value of
τmanon.
Inductor
The MP171 has a minimum off-time limit that
determines the maximum power output. A power
inductor with a larger inductance increases the
maximum power. Using a very small inductor
may cause failure at full load. Estimate the

It is recommended to use ceramic, tantalum, or

Feedback Resistors
The resistor divider determines the output
voltage. Choose appropriate R1 and R2 values to
maintain VFB at 2.55 V. An excessively large
value for R2 should be avoided.
Sampling Capacitor
The sampling capacitor (C3) samples and holds
the output voltage for feedback. With R1 and R2
fixed, a small sampling capacitor result in poor
regulation at light loads, and large sampling

For applications with VO above 7 V, the MP171
achieves the 30 mW no-load power requirement
by adopting an external VCC supply to reduce
power consumption on the internal VCC regulator
(see Figure 7).

This auxiliary VCC supply is derived from the
resistor connected between C2 and C3. C3
should be set larger than the value
recommendation above. D3 is used in case VCC
interferes with FB. R3 is determined using
Equation (12):
R3
Vo VFW 5.8V
IS
(12)
Where IS is the VCC consumption under a noload condition, and VFW is the forward voltage
drop of D3. Because IS varies in different
applications, R3 should be adjusted to meet the
application’s specific IS. In a particular
configuration, IS is measured at about 200 µA.

PCB Layout Guidelines
Efficient PCB layout is critical for reliable
operation, good EMI, and thermal performance.
For best results, follow the guidelines below:
1) Minimize the loop area formed by the input
capacitor, IC, freewheeling diode, inductor,
and output capacitor.
2) Place the power inductor far away from the
input filter while keeping the loop area to the
inductor at a minimum (see example below).
3) Place a capacitor valued at several hundred
pF between FB and SOURCE as close to the
IC as possible.
4) Connect the exposed pads or large copper
area with DRAIN to improve thermal
performance.
