MP2110
3A Synchronous Step-Down Converter
with Programmable Input Current Limit
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
•
•
The MP2110 is a monolithic step-down switch
mode converter with integrated input current limit
switch. The step-down converter integrates a
main switch and a synchronous rectifier for high
efficiency without an external Schottky diode.
The input average current limit can be externally
programmed. It is ideal for powering portable
equipment that is powered by an USB port. The
MP2110 can supply 3A of load current from a
3.3V to 5.4V continuous input voltage with
excellent load and line regulation. The MP2110
input can support up to 12V transient and clamp
the current limit switch output at 5.65V (Typical).
•
The Constant-On-time (COT) control scheme
provides fast transient response high light-load
efficiency and easy loop stabilization. Fault
condition protection includes cycle-by-cycle
current limit and thermal shutdown.

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.
4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

MP2110 – 3A SYNCHRONOUS BUCK CONVERTER WITH INPUT CURRENT LIMIT
OPERATION
The MP2110 is a high efficiency, 1.5MHz,
synchronous step-down converter with input
current limit switch. The MP2110 is optimized for
low voltage, USB port and Li-Ion battery powered
applications where high efficiency and small size
are critical. The MP2110 can achieve 100% duty
cycle.
MP2110 uses constant on-time control with input
voltage feed forward to stabilize the switching
frequency over full input range. At light load,
MP2110 employs a proprietary control of low side
switch and inductor current to eliminate ringing
on switching node and improve efficiency.
Constant On-time Control
Compare to fixed frequency PWM control,
constant on-time control offers the advantage of
simpler control loop and faster transient response.
By using input voltage feed forward, MP2110
maintains a nearly constant switching frequency
across input and output voltage range. The ontime of the switching pulse can be estimated as:
TON
V
= OUT ⋅ 0.722μs
VIN
To prevent inductor current run away during load
transient, MP2110 fixes the minimum off time to
be 60ns. However, this minimum off time limit will
not affect operation of MP2110 in steady state.
Light Load Operation
In light load condition, MP2110 uses a
proprietary control scheme to save power and
improve efficiency. Instead of turning off the low
side switch immediately when inductor current
start to reverse, MP2110 gradually ramp down
and regulates the low side switch current to a
minimal level, thus avoids the ringing at switching
node that always occurs in discontinuous
conduction mode (DCM) operation.
Current Limit
MP2110 has a typical 5A current limit for the high
side switch. When the high side switch hits
current limit, the high side switch will turn off, and
low side switch will turn on until the inductor
current decreases to the valley current limit. This
will prevent inductor current from continuing to
build up which will result in damage of the
components.
MP2110 Rev. 1.11
9/26/2014
Short Circuit Protection
MP2110 enters short circuit protection mode after
the inductor current hits the current limit and lasts
for 100μs, and tries to recover from short circuit
with hiccup mode. In short circuit protection,
MP2110 will disable output power stage,
discharge soft-start cap and then automatically
try to soft-start again. If the short circuit condition
still holds, MP2110 repeats this operation cycle
till short circuit disappears and output rises back
to regulation level.
Programmable Input Current Limit
The MP2110 has an input current limit protection
function. It will insure that the input current
doesn't exceed the maximum value, when the
input is supplied by the USB. Once the input
current triggers the set current limit level, the
output current will hold at the current limit until
thermal shutdown.
The current limit can be estimated as:
ILIM =
0.96x4

RSET ( kΩ )
The input current limit resistor value can be found
from Table 1.
Notes:

limit setting.

MP2110 – 3A SYNCHRONOUS BUCK CONVERTER WITH INPUT CURRENT LIMIT
Output over Voltage Clamp
As the system input voltage rises up and the
current limit switch’s output exceeds its OVP
threshold 5.65V, the output voltage (REGIN) will
be clamped to 5.65V.
Current Limit Switch Output Discharge
When the current limit switch’s input SYSIN is
lower than 2.9V, MP2110 turns on the discharge
MOSFET to discharge the REGIN capacitor
storage. Discharge resistance is typical 8.5Ω and
the specific discharge time depends on the
capacitance between REGIN and GND.
Negative
Thermal
Thermistor
Coefficient
(NTC)
The MP2110 has a built-in NTC comparator that
allows it to sense the external device’s
temperature via the thermistor mounted near the
device. It ensures a safe operating environment
MP2110 Rev. 1.11
9/26/2014
and prevents any smoke and fire happen due to
over temperature. Connect an appropriatelyvalued resistor from SYSIN to the NTC-pin and
connect the thermistor from the NTC-pin to
AGND. The resistor divider with a dividing ratio
depends on device temperature determines the
voltage on the NTC-pin. Once the voltage at the
NTC-pin falls to 14.5% of VSYSIN, the MP2110
output is disabled. The MP2110 restarts if the
voltage rises to 27% of VSYSIN.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown is implemented to prevent the
chip from operating at exceedingly high
temperatures. When the silicon die temperature
is higher than 160°C, it shuts down the whole
chip. When the temperature is lower than its
lower threshold, typically 140°C, the chip is
enabled again.
