MP2420
75V, 0.3A Synchronous
Step-Down Converter with Watchdog
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP2420 is a step-down switching regulator
with integrated high- and low-side, high-voltage
power MOSFETs. It achieves a highly efficient
output of up to 0.3A, and the integrated
watchdog adds additional security redundancy
to the system.
•
•
The wide 4.5V to 75V input range accommodates
a variety of step-down applications in an
automotive environment. A 5μA shutdown
mode quiescent current in a full temperature
range is ideal for battery-powered applications.
The MP2420 allows for high-power conversion
efficiency over a wide load range by scaling
down the switching frequency under light-load
conditions to reduce switching and gate driver
losses. The start-up switching frequency and
short circuit can also be scaled down to prevent
an inductor current runaway.
Full protection features include under-voltage
lockout (UVLO) and thermal shutdown. Thermal
shutdown provides reliable, fault-tolerant
operation.
The MP2420 is available in a TSSOP-16 EP
package.

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 produces an excessive die temperature, causing
the regulator to 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 PCB.

MP2420―75V, 0.3A, SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN CONVERTER WITH WATCHDOG
OPERATION
DC/DC SECTION:
The MP2420 is a 75V, 0.3A, synchronous stepdown, switching regulator with integrated highside and low-side, high-voltage power MOSFETs
(HS-FET and LS-FET, respectively). It provides a
highly efficient 0.3A output and features a wide
input voltage range, external soft-start control,
and precision current limit. It has a very low
operational quiescent current, making it suitable
for battery-powered applications.
Control Scheme
The ILIM comparator, FB comparator, and zero
current detector (ZCD) block control the PWM
(see Figure 2). If VFB is below the 1V reference
and the inductor current drops to zero, the HSFET turns on, and the ILIM comparator begins
sensing the HS-FET current. When the HS-FET
current reaches its limit, the HS-FET turns off,
and the LS-FET and ZCD block turn on. The ILIM
comparator turns off to reduce the quiescent
current. The LS-FET and ZCD block turn off after
the inductor current drops to zero. If VFB is below
the 1V reference at this time, the HS-FET turns
on and begins another cycle. If VFB is still higher
than the 1V reference, the HS-FET remains off
until VFB drops below 1V.

Internal Regulator and BIAS
The 2.6V internal regulator powers most of the
internal circuitry. This regulator takes VIN and
operates in the full VIN range. When VIN is greater
than 3.0V, the output of the regulator is in full
regulation. Lower values of VIN result in lower
output voltages. When VBIAS > 2.9V, the BIAS
supply overrides the input voltage and supplies
power to the internal regulator. When VBIAS >
4.5V, BIAS powers the LS-FET driver.
Using BIAS to power the internal regulator
improves efficiency. It is recommended to
connect BIAS to the regulated output voltage
when it is in the 2.9V to 5.5V range. When the
output voltage is out of this range, an external
supply of >2.9V to >4.5V can be used to power
BIAS.
Enable (EN) Control
The MP2420 has a dedicated enable control
(EN). When VIN goes high, EN enables and
disables the chip (high logic). Its falling threshold
is a consistent 1.2V, and the rising threshold is
about 350mV higher. When floating, EN is pulled
down internally to GND to disable the chip.
When EN = 0V, the chip enters the lowest
shutdown current mode. When EN is higher than
zero but lower than its rising threshold, the chip
remains in shutdown mode with a slightly larger
shutdown current.
A Zener diode is connected internally from EN to
GND. The typical clamping voltage of the Zener
diode is 6.5V. VIN can be connected to EN
through a high ohm (Ω) resistor if the system
does not have another logic input acting as the
EN signal. The resistor must be designed to limit
the EN sink current to less than 150μA. Note that
there is an internal 3MΩ resistor from EN to GND,
so the external pull up resistor should be smaller
than
[VIN (MIN) - 1.55V] × 3M
1.55V
to ensure that EN can
turn on at the lowest operation (VIN).

Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
VIN under-voltage lockout (UVLO) protects the
chip from operating below its operational supply
voltage range. The UVLO rising threshold is
about 4.2V while its trailing threshold is about
3.75V.

Soft Start (SS)
The reference-type soft start prevents the
converter output voltage from overshooting
during start-up. When the chip starts, the internal
circuitry generates a constant current to charge
the external soft-start capacitor. The SS voltage
ramps up slowly from 0V at a pace set by the SS
time. When VSS is less than VREF, VSS overrides
VREF, and the FB comparator uses VSS as the
reference instead of VREF. When VSS is higher
than VREF, VREF resumes control.
VSS can be much smaller than VFB, but it can only
barely exceed VFB. If VFB drops, VSS tracks VFB.
This function prevents an output voltage
overshoot during short-circuit recovery. When the
short circuit is removed, a new SS process
ramps up.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown prevents a thermal runaway
on the chip. When the silicon die reaches
temperatures exceeding its upper threshold, the
entire chip shuts down. When the temperature
falls below its lower threshold, the chip is enabled
again.
Floating Driver and Bootstrap Charging
The external bootstrap capacitor powers the
floating HS-FET driver. This floating driver has
its own UVLO protection. This UVLO’s rising
threshold is about 2.4V with a hysteresis of about
300mV. During the UVLO, the SS voltage resets
to zero. When the UVLO is disabled, the
regulator follows the soft-start process.
The dedicated internal bootstrap regulator
charges and regulates the bootstrap capacitor to
about 5V. When the voltage difference between
BST and SW falls below its working parameters,
a PMOS pass transistor connected from VIN to
BST turns on to charge the bootstrap capacitor.
The current path runs from VIN to BST to SW.
The external circuit must have sufficient voltage
headroom to accommodate charging.
MP2420 Rev. 1.0
9/6/2015
As long as VIN is sufficiently higher than SW, the
bootstrap capacitor can charge. When the HSFET is on, VIN is about equal to SW, and the
bootstrap capacitor cannot charge. The optimal
charging period occurs when the LS-FET is on,
and VIN - VSW is at its largest. VSW is equal to VOUT
when there is no current in the inductor. The
difference between VIN and VOUT charges the
bootstrap capacitor.
If the internal circuit does not have sufficient
voltage and time to charge the bootstrap
capacitor, extra external circuitry can be used to
ensure that the bootstrap voltage operates in its
normal region.
Start-Up and Shutdown
If both VIN and VEN are higher than their
appropriate thresholds, the chip starts up. The
reference block starts first, generating stable
reference voltages and currents, and then it
enables the internal regulator. The regulator
provides a stable supply for the rest of the device.
If the internal supply rail is high, an internal timer
holds the power MOSFET off for about 50µs to
clear up any start-up glitches. When the soft-start
block is enabled, the SS output voltage is first
held low and then slowly ramps up.
Three events can shut down the chip: VEN low,
VIN low, and thermal shutdown. During the
shutdown procedure, the signaling path is
blocked first to avoid any fault triggering. The
internal supply rails are then pulled down. The
floating driver is not subject to this shutdown
command, but its charging path is disabled.
Power OK (POK)
POK is an open-drain power good output. A high
output indicates that VOUT is higher than 90% of
its nominal value. POK is pulled down in
shutdown mode.
Reference Voltage Output (VREF)
VREF has an output reference voltage of 1V. It has
up to 500µA of source current capability.

MP2420―75V, 0.3A, SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN CONVERTER WITH WATCHDOG
WATCHDOG SECTION:
Supply Voltage
A supply voltage of VCC = 5V +/-10% is
recommended for normal operation. WDO is
pulled low when VCC rises to 1V or above. After
VCC rises to 4.65V, WDO remains at a low level
for t0 to reset the MCU.
Timer
Calculate the period T (µs) with Equation (1):
T ( μs ) = 15.75 × R TIMER ( kΩ ) + 73.5 (1)
Calculate the RTIMER (kΩ) with Equation (2):
R TIMER ( kΩ ) = 0.063 × T ( μs ) − 4.67 (2)
For example, if RTIMER = 51kΩ, then T ≈ 0.88ms.
Monitoring the MCU Synchronization Signal
When the watchdog is in a sync signal
monitoring state, the watchdog IC receives a
WDI_OK signal from the MCU within t1. The
timer resets, and the watchdog enters normal
operation (WDI remains low for 10µs to 5ms). If
the watchdog does not receive the WDI_OK
signal from the MCU during t1, it generates a
reset signal and enters a sync signal monitor
state again.
Short Window Mode
If the MCU and watchdog are synchronized
correctly and MODE is low, the watchdog works
in a short window mode if WDI_OK is received
in a window close state (t2). The watchdog
outputs a reset signal and enters the sync
signal monitoring state.
Long Window Mode
If the MCU and watchdog are synchronized
correctly and MODE is high, the watchdog
works in long window mode if WDI_OK is
received in a window close state (t4). The
watchdog outputs a reset signal and enters a
sync signal monitoring state.
If WDI_OK is received in a window open state
(t5), the watchdog enters a window close state.
The MCU is in normal operation in this situation.
If WDI_OK is not received in t4+t5, the watchdog
then outputs a reset signal and enters the sync
signal monitoring state.
MODE is pulled low during the long window
mode, and the watchdog enters a short window
mode.
Watchdog Disable
Pull /WD_DIS low to disable the watchdog, and
pull /WD_DIS high to enable the watchdog. It
has a weak internal pull-up, so leaving
/WD_DIS open enables the watchdog.
WDI Error
The WDI signal remaining at a low level for
longer than the max WDI_OK pulse width is
regarded as an error. When this error occurs,
WDO is pulled down until WDI rises to its high
level again.
If WDI_OK is received in a window open state
(t3), the watchdog enters a window close state.
The MCU is in normal operation in this situation.
If WDI_OK is not received in t2+t3, the watchdog
outputs a reset signal and enters the sync
signal monitoring state.
MODE is pulled to high during the short window
mode, and the watchdog then enters long
window mode.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Selecting the Inductor
Ipeak is fixed, and the inductor value can be
determined with Equation (3):
L=
VOUT × (VIN - VOUT )
VIN × Ipeak × fs
(3)
Where fs is the switching frequency at the
maximum output current.
A larger inductor value results in a lower
switching frequency and higher efficiency.
However, the larger value inductor has a larger
physical size, a higher series resistance, a lower
saturation current, and slow load transient
dynamic performance. The inductor value has a
lower limit, which is determined by the minimum
on time. To keep the inductor functioning
properly, the inductor value should be higher
than LMIN and can be derived from Equation (4):
VIN (MAX) × t ON(MIN)
(4)
L MIN =
Ipeak
Where VIN(MAX) is the maximum value of the input
voltage, and tON(MIN) is the 115ns minimum
switch-on time.
Switching Frequency
The switching frequency can be estimated with
Equation (5):
2 × Io × VOUT × (VIN - VOUT )
fs =
2
Ipeak
× VIN × L
(5)
A larger inductor can achieve a lower fs. fs
increases as Io increases. When Io increases to
its maximum value (Ipeak/2), fs reaches its highest
value. The maximum fs value can be estimated
with Equation (6):
fs(max) =
VOUT × (VIN - VOUT )
Ipeak × VIN × L
Setting the Output Voltage
The output voltage is set using a resistive voltage
divider from the output voltage to FB. To achieve
the desired output voltage, select the resistor
divider with Equation (7):
R1 VOUT
(7)
=
-1
R2 VREF
Where VREF is the FB reference voltage (1V).
The current flowing into the resistor divider
increases the supply current, especially at noload and light-load conditions. The VIN supply
current caused by the feedback resistors can be
calculated with Equation (8):
VOUT
V
1
(8)
IIN_FB =
× OUT ×
R1 + R2 VIN η
Where
is the efficiency of the regulator.
To reduce this current, it is recommended to use
resistors in the MΩ range. The recommended
values of the feedback resistors are shown in
Table 1.

Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) Point Setting
The MP2420 has an internal, fixed, under-voltage
lockout (UVLO) threshold. The rising threshold is
about 4.2V while its trailing threshold is about
3.75V. External resistor dividers placed between
EN and VIN can be used to achieve a higher
equivalent UVLO threshold (see Figure 3).

Soft-Start Capacitor
The soft-start time is the duration of an internal
5µA current source charging the SS capacitor
form 0 to the FB reference voltage (1V). The SS
capacitor can be determined with Equation (11):
C SS = 5 × t SS (μF)
(11)
Feed-Forward Capacitor
The HS-FET turns on when FB drops below the
reference voltage, producing ideal load transient
performance. However, this also causes the HSFET to be very sensitive to the FB voltage during
turn-on. The HS-FET is affected easily at turn-on,
which can trigger a Fsw jitter. Fsw jitter occurs
most often when the Vo ripple is very small. To
improve jitter performance, it is recommended to
use a small feed-forward capacitor of about 39pF
between Vo and FB.
