MP2269
The Future of Analog IC Technology
3.3V - 30V, 1A, 12µA IQ,
Synchronous, Step-Down Converter
with External Soft Start and Power Good
in 2x3mm QFN Package
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP2269 is a frequency-programmable
(350kHz to 2.5MHz), synchronous, step-down,
switching regulator with integrated, internal,
high-side and low-side power MOSFETs. The
MP2269 provides 1A of highly efficient output
current with current-mode control for fast loop
response.
The wide 3.3V to 30V input range
accommodates a variety of step-down
applications. A 1μA shutdown mode quiescent
current allows the MP2269 to be used in
battery-powered applications.
High power conversion efficiency over a wide
load range is achieved by scaling down the
switching frequency at light-load condition to
reduce switching and gate driving losses.
An open-drain power good signal indicates the
output signal. Frequency foldback helps prevent
inductor current runaway during start-up.
Thermal shutdown provides reliable and faulttolerant operation. High duty cycle and low
drop-out mode are provided for batterypowered systems.
The MP2269 is available
(2mmx3mm) package.

NOTES:
1) Absolute maximum ratings are rated under room temperature
unless otherwise noted. 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.

MP2269 - 30V, 1A, LOW IQ, SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN CONVERTER
OPERATION
The MP2269 is a synchronous, step-down,
switching regulator with integrated, internal,
high-side and low-side power MOSFETs. It
provides 1A of highly efficient output current
with current-mode control. The MP2269
features a wide input voltage range,
programmable 350kHz to 2.5MHz switching
frequency, external soft start, and current limit.
Its very low operational quiescent current
makes it suitable
for battery-powered
applications.
PWM Control
At moderate-to-high output currents, the
MP2269 operates in a fixed-frequency, peakcurrent-control mode to regulate the output
voltage. A PWM cycle is initiated by the internal
clock. At the rising edge of the clock, the highside power MOSFET (HS-FET) is turned on
and remains on until its current reaches the
value set by the COMP voltage (VCOMP). When
the high-side power switch is off, the low-side
MOSFET (LS-FET) is turned on and remains on
until the next cycle begins. If the current in the
HS-FET does not reach the COMP-set current
value in one PWM period, the HS-FET remains
on, saving a turn-off operation.
Advanced Asynchronous Mode (AAM)
The MP2269 employs advanced asynchronous
mode (AAM) functionality to optimize efficiency
during light-load or no-load conditions. AAM
mode is selectable. Enable AAM by connecting
MODE to a low level or floating MODE; disable
AAM by connecting MODE to a high level.
If AAM is enabled, the MP2269 first enters nonsynchronous operation for as long as the
inductor current approaches zero at light load. If
the load is further decreased or is at no load,
VCOMP is below VAAM, and the MP2269 enters
AAM or sleep mode, which consumes very low
quiescent current and improves light-load
efficiency further.
In AAM, the internal clock is reset whenever
VCOMP crosses over VAAM, and the crossover
time is taken as the benchmark for the next
clock. When the load increases, and the DC
value of VCOMP is higher than VAAM, the
MP2269 Rev. 1.02
3/5/2019
operation mode is DCM or CCM, which have a
constant switching frequency.
Figure 2: AAM and PWM Mode
The MP2269 has a mode selection function
(see Figure 2). Pull MODE low or float MODE to
set auto PFM/PWM mode. Pull MODE high to
set forced PWM mode. MODE is pulled down
internally. Select MODE before the part starts
up.
Error Amplifier (EA)
The error amplifier (EA) compares the FB
voltage with the internal reference (typically
0.8V) and outputs a current proportional to the
difference between the two. This output current
is used to charge the internal compensation
network to form VCOMP, which is used to control
the power MOSFET current.
BIAS and VCC Regulator
Most of the internal circuitry is powered by the
internal regulator. The MP2269 has two internal
regulators (see Figure 3). The regulator LDO1
takes the VIN input and operates in the full VIN
range. When VIN is greater than 5V, the output
of the regulator is in full regulation, and VCC is
5V. When VIN is lower than 5V, the output
degrades.
Another regulator, LDO2, is powered by BIAS.
Connect BIAS to an external power source, and
keep the BIAS voltage higher than 4.8V. VCC
and the internal circuit are then powered by
BIAS. When VBIAS is greater than 5V, the output
of the regulator is in full regulation, and VCC is
5V. When VBIAS is lower than 5V, the output
degrades. LDO2 is enabled when VBIAS > 4.8V.
Once LDO2 is enabled, LDO1 is disabled. For a
5V output application, BIAS is recommended to
be connected to VOUT for improved efficiency.
The diode (D1) between BIAS and the internal
circuit is used for reverse blocking. Since LDO1

has no reverse block function, VBIAS must be
less than VIN. Connect BIAS to GND if BIAS is
not used.

Bootstrap Charging
The bootstrap capacitor is charged and
regulated to about 5V by the dedicated internal
bootstrap regulator. When the voltage between
the BST and SW nodes is lower than its
regulation, a PMOS connected from VCC to
BST is turned on. The charging current path is
from VCC to BST to SW. When the HS-FET is
on, VIN is about equal to SW, so the bootstrap
capacitor cannot be charged.
At higher duty cycle operation conditions, the
time period available to the bootstrap charging
is less, so the bootstrap capacitor may not be
charged sufficiently. If the internal circuit does
not have sufficient voltage or time to charge the
bootstrap capacitor, extra external circuitry can
be used to ensure that the bootstrap voltage is
in the normal operation region.
Low-Dropout Operation
To improve dropout, the MP2269 is designed to
operate at almost 100% duty cycle as long as
the BST to SW voltage is greater than 2.5V.
When the voltage from BST to SW drops below
2.5V, the HS-FET is turned off using an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit that allows the
LS-FET to conduct and refresh the charge on
the BST capacitor. In DCM or PSM, the LS-FET
is forced on to refresh the BST voltage.
Since the supply current sourced from the BST
capacitor is low, the HS-FET can remain on for
more switching cycles than are required to
refresh the capacitor, making the effective duty
cycle of the switching regulator high.
MP2269 Rev. 1.02
3/5/2019
The effective duty cycle during the dropout of
the regulator is mainly influenced by the voltage
drops across the power MOSFET, inductor
resistance, low-side diode, and printed circuit
board resistance.
Enable (EN) Control
EN is a digital control pin that turns the
regulator on and off. EN can be enabled by an
external logic H/L signal. When EN is pulled
below the threshold voltage, the chip is put into
the lowest shutdown current mode. Forcing EN
above the EN threshold voltage turns on the
part.
For the programmable VIN under-voltage
lockout (UVLO), with a high-enough VIN, the
chip can be enabled and disabled by EN (see
Figure 4). This circuit can generate a
programmable VIN UVLO and hysteresis.

Soft Start (SS)
Soft start (SS) is implemented to prevent the
converter output voltage from overshooting
during start-up. When the soft-start period
begins, an internal current source begins
charging the external soft-start capacitor. After
the soft-start voltage (SS) charges higher than
the internal offset voltage (typically 600mV),
VOUT starts up. When (SS - Voffest)/1.125 is lower
than the internal reference (REF), the error
amplifier uses (SS - Voffest)/1.125 as the

The MP2269 has been designed for monotonic
start-up into pre-biased loads. If the output is
pre-biased to a certain voltage during start-up,
the BST voltage is refreshed and charged. The
voltage on the soft-start capacitor is charged as
well. If the BST voltage exceeds its rising
threshold voltage, and the soft-start capacitor
voltage exceeds 1.125*VFB+Voffest, the part
begins working normally.
soft-start capacitor is fully discharged. This
hiccup process is repeated until the fault is
removed.
Start-Up and Shutdown
If both VIN and EN are higher than their
respective thresholds, the chip starts up. The
reference block starts first, generating a stable
reference voltage and current, and then the
internal regulator is enabled. The regulator
provides a stable supply for the rest of the
circuitries.
While the internal supply rail starts up, an
internal timer holds the power MOSFET off for
about 50µs to blank the start-up glitches. When
the soft-start block is enabled, it first holds its
SS output low to ensure that the rest of the
circuitries are ready and then ramps up slowly.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown is implemented to prevent
the chip from running away thermally. When the
silicon die temperature is higher than its upper
threshold, the power MOSFETs are shut down.
When the temperature is lower than its lower
threshold, thermal shutdown is removed, and
the chip is enabled again.
Three events can shut down the chip: EN low,
VIN low, and thermal shutdown. In the
shutdown procedure, the signaling path is
blocked first to avoid any fault triggering. VCOMP
and the internal supply rail are then pulled down.
The floating driver is not subject to this
shutdown command, but its charging path is
disabled.
Current Comparator and Current Limit
The power MOSFET current is accurately
sensed via a current sense MOSFET. The
current is then fed to the high-speed current
comparator for current-mode control purposes.
The current comparator uses this sensed
current as one of its inputs. When the HS-FET
is turned on, the comparator is first blanked
until the end of the turn-on transition to avoid
noise. Then, the comparator compares the
power switch current with VCOMP.
Power Good (PG) Output
The MP2269 has an open-drain pin as the
power good indicator (PG). PG can indicate
under-voltage (UV) and over-voltage (OV). Pull
PG up to VCC through a 100kΩ resistor. At the
UV condition, when VFB exceeds 90% of VREF,
PG goes high. If VFB goes below 84% of VREF,
an internal MOSFET pulls PG down to ground.
At the OV condition, when VFB exceeds 118% of
VREF, PG goes low. If VFB goes below 110% of
VREF, PG goes high.
When the sensed current is higher than VCOMP,
the comparator outputs low to turn off the HSFET.
The maximum current of the internal power
MOSFET is limited cycle-by-cycle internally.
Hiccup Protection
When the output is shorted to ground, causing
the output voltage to drop below 70% of its
nominal output, the IC shuts down momentarily
and begins discharging the soft-start capacitor.
The IC restarts with a full soft start when the

NOTES:
7) The recommended parameters are based on a 500kHz
switching frequency. A different input voltage, output inductor
value, and output capacitor value may affect the selection of
R1, R2, and Cf. For additional component parameters, please
refer to the Typical Application Circuits on pages 17 and 18.
Selecting the Inductor
For most applications, use a 1µH to 22µH
inductor with a DC current rating at least 25%
higher than the maximum load current. For
highest efficiency, use an inductor with a DC
resistance less than 15mΩ.
MP2269 Rev. 1.02
3/5/2019
For most designs, the inductance value can be
derived from Equation (4):
L1
VOUT (VIN VOUT )
VIN IL fOSC
(4)
Where ∆IL is the inductor ripple current.
Choose the inductor ripple current at
approximately 30% of the maximum load
current. The maximum inductor peak current is
calculated with Equation (5):
IL(MAX) ILOAD
IL
2
(5)
Selecting the Input Capacitor
The input current to the step-down converter is
discontinuous and therefore requires a
capacitor to supply AC current while
maintaining the DC input voltage. Use low ESR
capacitors for the best performance. Ceramic
capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics are
recommended because of their low ESR and
small temperature coefficients. For most
applications, use one 10µF capacitor.
Since C1 absorbs the input switching current, it
requires an adequate ripple current rating. The
RMS current in the input capacitor can be
estimated with Equation (6):
I C1 ILOAD
VOUT VOUT
1
VIN
VIN
(6)
The worst-case condition occurs at VIN = 2VOUT,
shown in Equation (7):
I C1
ILOAD
2
(7)
For simplification, choose an input capacitor
with an RMS current rating greater than half of
the maximum load current.
The input capacitor can be electrolytic, tantalum,
or ceramic. When using electrolytic or tantalum
capacitors, a small, high-quality ceramic
capacitor (e.g.: 0.1μF) should be placed as
close to the IC as possible. When using
ceramic capacitors, ensure that they have
enough capacitance to provide a sufficient
charge to prevent excessive voltage ripple at
the input.

Selecting the Output Capacitor
The output capacitor (C2) maintains the DC
output voltage. Use ceramic, tantalum, or low

use low ESR capacitors to keep the output

be estimated with Equation (9):

For ceramic capacitors, the capacitance
dominates the impedance at the switching
frequency, and the capacitance causes the

PCB Layout Guidelines (8)
Efficient PCB layout is critical for stable
operation. For best results, refer to Figure 6 and
follow the guidelines below.
1. Keep the connection of the input ground
and GND as short and wide as possible.
2. Keep the connection of the input capacitor
and VIN as short and wide as possible.
3. Ensure all feedback connections are short
and direct.
4. Place
the
feedback
resistors
and
compensation components as close to the
chip as possible.
5. Route SW away from sensitive analog
areas such as FB.
NOTES:
8) The recommended layout is based on the Typical Application
circuit on page 17 and page 18.

For tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, the ESR
dominates the impedance at the switching
frequency. For simplification, the output ripple
can be approximated with Equation (11):
