DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP2102 is a dual-output, internally
compensated, 1.5MHz fixed frequency PWM
step-down converter. It is ideal for powering
portable equipment from a single cell LithiumIon (Li+) Battery. Each channel of the MP2102
can supply 800mA of load current from a 2.5V
to 6V input voltage. Both output voltages can be
regulated as low as 0.6V.

MP2102 – 1.5MHz, 800mA DUAL-OUTPUT SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN CONVERTER
OPERATION
The MP2102 is a dual-channel constant
frequency current mode PWM step-down
converter. The MP2102 is optimized for low
voltage, Li-Ion battery powered applications
where high efficiency and small size are critical.
The MP2102 uses an external resistor divider to
set the output voltage from 0.6V to 5.4V. The
device integrates both a main switch and a
synchronous rectifier which provides high
efficiency and eliminates the need for an
external Schottky diode.
Current Mode PWM Control
Slope compensated current mode PWM control
provides stable switching and cycle-by-cycle
current limit for superior load and line response
and protection of the internal main switch and
synchronous rectifier.
The MP2102 switches at a constant frequency
(1.5MHz) and regulates the output voltage.
During each cycle the PWM comparator
modulates the power transferred to the load by
changing the inductor peak current based on
the feedback error voltage. During normal
operation, the main switch is turned on for a
certain time to ramp the inductor current at
each rising edge of the internal oscillator, and
switched off when the peak inductor current is
above the error voltage.
When the main switch is off, the synchronous
rectifier will be turned on immediately and stay
on until the next cycle starts. The maximum
duty cycle of the MP2102 is around 90%,
therefore the maximum achievable output
voltage is 90% of the input voltage minus the
voltage drop across the main switch and the
inductor.
MP2102 Rev. 1.0
11/8/2006
Short Circuit Protection
The MP2102 has an independent short circuit
protection for each channel. When the output is
shorted to ground, the valley current limit
control is activated; the next cycle of turning on
the main switch will not start until the inductor
current has dropped to below 300mA. The
control mechanism will return to normal once
the feedback voltage reaches 0.3V.
Output Power Good Indication
The open-drain pin PWROK is used to monitor
the output condition. When the voltages of both
outputs are within ±10% of the expected value,
the open-drain device will turn off, floating the
PWROK pin. When at least one of the outputs
is outside of ±10% window, the PWROK will be
pulled “LOW”.
Power-On Reset Delay
The MP2102 has a programmable power on
reset delay. Changing the value of the capacitor
at the DLY pin sets the delay time. See
Programming
PWROK
Delay
in
the
Applications Information section.
Maximum Load Current
The MP2102 can operate down to 2.5V input
voltage; however the maximum load current
decreases at lower input due to large IR drop
on the main switch and synchronous rectifier.
The slope compensation signal reduces the
peak inductor current as a function of the duty
cycle to prevent sub-harmonic oscillations at
duty cycles greater than 50%. Conversely, the
current limit increases as the duty cycle
decreases.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Output Voltage Setting
Please reference the schematic on the front
page. The external resistor divider sets the
output voltage. The top feedback resistor RTOP
also sets the feedback loop bandwidth with the
internal compensation capacitor (see Typical
Application circuit).
Choose RTOP around 300kΩ for optimal
transient response. The bottom feedback
resistor RBOT is then given by:
R BOT =
R TOP
VOUT

Where RTOP is either R1 or R3, and RBOT is
either R2 or R4.
