Description
Feedback. An external resistor divider from the output to GND, tapped to the FB pin,
sets the output voltage. To prevent current limit run away during a short circuit fault
condition the frequency fold-back comparator lowers the oscillator frequency when
the FB voltage is below 400mV.
Power good output, the output of this pin is an open drain and is low if the output
voltage is lower than 10% of the nominal voltage. There is a 20µs delay to pull PG if
the output voltage is lower than 10% of regulation value.

MP8768 – 8A, 28V, SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN CONVERTER WITH INTERNAL MOSFET
OPERATION
The MP8768 is a high frequency synchronous
rectified step-down switch mode converter with a
built in internal high side power MOSFET. It
offers a very compact solution to achieve 8A
continuous output current over a wide input
supply range with excellent load and line
regulation.
The MP8768 operates in a fixed frequency, peak
current control mode to regulate the output
voltage. A PWM cycle is initiated by the internal
clock. The integrated high-side power MOSFET
is turned on and remains on until its current
reaches the value set by the COMP voltage.
When the power switch is off, it remains off until
the next clock cycle starts. If, in 90% of one PWM
period, the current in the power MOSFET does
not reach the COMP set current value, the power
MOSFET will be forced to turn off.
Error Amplifier
The error amplifier compares the FB pin voltage
with the internal 0.8V reference (REF) and
outputs a current proportional to the difference
between the two. This output current is then used
to charge or discharge the internal compensation
network to form the COMP voltage, which is used
to control the power MOSFET current. The
optimized
internal
compensation
network
minimizes the external component counts and
simplifies the control loop design.
Internal Regulator
Most of the internal circuitries are powered from
the 5V internal regulator. This regulator takes the
VIN input and operates in the full VIN range.
When VIN is greater than 5.0V, the output of the
regulator is in full regulation. When VIN is lower
than 5.0V, the output decreases. Since this
internal regulator provides the bias current for the
bottom gate driver that requires significant
amount of current depending upon the external
MOSFET selection, a 1uF ceramic capacitor for
decoupling purpose is required.
Enable/Sync Control
The MP8768 has a dedicated Enable/Sync
control pin (EN/SYNC). By pulling it high or low,
the IC can be enabled and disabled by EN. Tie
EN to VIN for automatic start up. To disable the
part, EN must be pulled low for at least 5µs.
MP8768 Rev. 1.0
12/12/2013
The MP8768 can be synchronized to external
clock range from 300KHz up to 2MHz through
the EN/SYNC pin. The internal clock rising edge
is synchronized to the external clock rising edge.
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) is implemented to
protect the chip from operating at insufficient
supply voltage. The MP8768 UVLO comparator
monitors the output voltage of the internal
regulator, VCC. The UVLO rising threshold is
about 4.0V while its falling threshold is a
consistent 3.2V.
Internal Soft-Start
The soft-start is implemented to prevent the
converter output voltage from overshooting
during startup. When the chip starts, the internal
circuitry generates a soft-start voltage (SS)
ramping up from 0V to 1.2V. When it is lower
than the internal reference (REF), SS overrides
REF so the error amplifier uses SS as the
reference. When SS is higher than REF, REF
regains control.
Over-Current-Protection and Hiccup
The MP8768 has cycle-by-cycle over current limit
when the inductor current peak value exceeds
the set current limit threshold. Meanwhile, output
voltage starts to drop until FB is below the UnderVoltage (UV) threshold, typically 30% below the
reference. Once a UV is triggered, the MP8768
enters hiccup mode to periodically restart the part.
This protection mode is especially useful when
the output is dead-short to ground. The average
short circuit current is greatly reduced to alleviate
the thermal issue and to protect the regulator.
The MP8768 exits the hiccup mode once the
over current condition is removed.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown is implemented to prevent the
chip from operating at exceedingly high
temperatures. When the silicon die temperature
is higher than 150°C, it shuts down the whole
chip. When the temperature is lower than its
lower threshold, typically 140°C, the chip is
enabled again.

MP8768 – 8A, 28V, SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN CONVERTER WITH INTERNAL MOSFET
Floating Driver and Bootstrap Charging
The floating power MOSFET driver is powered by
an external bootstrap capacitor. This floating
driver has its own UVLO protection. This UVLO’s
rising threshold is 2.2V with a hysteresis of
150mV. The bootstrap capacitor voltage is
regulated internally (Figure 2). In DCM mode at
light load condition, as long as VIN is 3V higher
than VOUT, BST capacitor C4 will have enough
voltage which is provided by VIN through D1, M3,
C4, L1 and C2. If (VIN-VSW) is more than 5V, U2
will regulate M3 to maintain a 5V BST voltage
across C4.
SW
Figure 2—Internal Bootstrap Charging Circuit
Startup and Shutdown
If both VIN and EN are higher than their
appropriate thresholds, the chip starts. The
reference block starts first, generating stable
reference voltage and currents, and then the
internal regulator is enabled. The regulator
provides stable supply for the remaining
circuitries.
Three events can shut down the chip: EN low,
VIN low and thermal shutdown. In the shutdown
procedure, the signaling path is first blocked to
avoid any fault triggering. The COMP voltage and
the internal supply rail are then pulled down. The
floating driver is not subject to this shutdown
command.

Setting the Output Voltage
The external resistor divider R1 and R2 is used
to set the output voltage (see the schematic on
front page). The feedback resistor R1 also sets
the feedback loop bandwidth with the internal
compensation capacitor (see Typical Application
on page 1). Choose R1 to be around 31.6kΩ for
optimal transient response. R2 is then given by:

Selecting the Inductor
A 1µH to 10µH inductor with a DC current rating
of at least 25% percent higher than the maximum
load current is recommended for most
applications. For highest efficiency, the inductor
DC resistance should be less than 15mΩ. For
most designs, the inductance value can be
derived from the following equation.
L=
VOUT × ( VIN − VOUT )
VIN × ΔIL × f OSC
Choose inductor current to be approximately
30% if the maximum load current, 8A. The
maximum inductor peak current is:
IL(MAX ) = ILOAD +
ΔIL
2
Under light load conditions below 100mA, larger
inductance is recommended for improved
efficiency.
Synchronous MOSFET
The external synchronous MOSFET is used to
supply current to the inductor when the internal
high-side switch is off. It reduces the power loss
significantly when compared against a Schottky
rectifier.
Table 2 lists example synchronous MOSFETs
and manufacturers.

Selecting the Input Capacitor
The input current to the step-down converter is
discontinuous, therefore a capacitor is required to
supply the AC current to the step-down converter
while maintaining the DC input voltage. Use low ESR
capacitors for the best performance. Ceramic
capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics are highly
recommended because of their low ESR and
small temperature coefficients. For most
applications, a 22µF capacitor is sufficient.
Since the input capacitor (C1) absorbs the input
switching current it requires an adequate ripple
current rating. The RMS current in the input capacitor
can be estimated by:
I C1 = ILOAD ×
VOUT ⎛⎜ VOUT
× 1−
VIN ⎜⎝
VIN
⎞
⎟
⎟
⎠
The worse case condition occurs at VIN = 2VOUT,
where:
IC1 =
ILOAD
2
Where ΔIL is the inductor ripple current.

MP8768 – 8A, 28V, SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN CONVERTER WITH INTERNAL MOSFET
For simplification, choose the input capacitor
whose 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, i.e. 0.1μF, should be placed as close
to the IC as possible. When using ceramic
capacitors, make sure that they have enough
capacitance to provide sufficient charge to
prevent excessive voltage ripple at input. The
input voltage ripple caused by capacitance can
be estimated by:
ΔVIN =
⎛
ILOAD
V
V
× OUT × ⎜⎜1 − OUT
fS × C1 VIN ⎝
VIN
⎞
⎟⎟
⎠
Selecting the Output Capacitor
The output capacitor (C2) is required to maintain
the DC output voltage. Ceramic, tantalum, or low
ESR electrolytic capacitors are recommended.
Low ESR capacitors are preferred to keep the
output voltage ripple low. The output voltage
ripple can be estimated by:
ΔVOUT
⎛
V
V
= OUT × ⎜⎜1 − OUT
fS × L ⎝
VIN
⎞
⎞ ⎛
1
⎟
⎟⎟ × ⎜ R ESR +
⎜
8 × f S × C2 ⎟⎠
⎠ ⎝
Where L is the inductor value and RESR is the
equivalent series resistance (ESR) value of the
output capacitor.
In the case of ceramic capacitors, the impedance
at the switching frequency is dominated by the
capacitance. The output voltage ripple is mainly
caused by the capacitance. For simplification, the
output voltage ripple can be estimated by:
ΔVOUT =
⎞
⎛
V
× ⎜⎜1 − OUT ⎟⎟
VIN ⎠
× L × C2 ⎝
VOUT
8 × fS
2
In the case of tantalum or electrolytic capacitors,
the ESR dominates the impedance at the
switching frequency. For simplification, the output
ripple can be approximated to:
ΔVOUT =
VOUT ⎛
V
× ⎜ 1 − OUT
f S × L ⎜⎝
VIN
⎞
⎟⎟ × R ESR
⎠
The characteristics of the output capacitor also
affect the stability of the regulation system. The
MP8768 can be optimized for a wide range of
capacitance and ESR values.
External Bootstrap Diode
An external bootstrap diode may enhance the
efficiency of the regulator, the applicable
conditions of external BST diode are:

VOUT is 5V or 3.3V; and
z
Duty cycle is high: D=

In these cases, an external BST diode is

Connect IN, SW, and especially GND
respectively to a large copper area to
improve chip thermal performance and longterm reliability.
It is suggested to add snubber circuit across
the high side MOSFET (VIN pin and SW pin)
so as to reduce SW spikes.

Keep the connection of low-side MOSFET
between SW pin and input power ground as
short and wide as possible.

Keep the path of switching current short and
minimize the loop area formed by Input cap,
high-side and low-side MOSFETs.
Place
the
feedback
resistors
and
compensation components as close to the
