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 function is not guaranteed outside of the
recommended operating conditions.
4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB..

Bootstrap. Connect a capacitor between the SW and BST pins to form a floating supply across
the power switch driver. This capacitor drives the power switch’s gate above the supply voltage.
Ground. Voltage reference for the regulated output voltage. Requires special layout
considerations. Isolate this node from the D1 to C1 ground path to prevent switching current
spikes from inducing.
Feedback. Sets the output voltage. Connect to the tap of an external resistor divider from the
output to GND. The frequency foldback comparator lowers the oscillator frequency when the FB
voltage is below 250mV to prevent current-limit runaway during a short-circuit fault.
On/Off. Pull EN above 1.35V to turn the device ON. For automatic enable, connect to VIN using
a resistor. Note that make sure the sink current of EN pin not exceed 100μA.
Supply Voltage. The MP2456 operates from a 4.5V-to-50V unregulated input. Requires C1 to
prevent large voltage spikes from appearing at the input.

MP2456 – 0.5A, 50V, 1.2MHz, STEP-DOWN CONVERTER IN A TSOT23-6
OPERATION
The MP2456 is a current mode buck regulator.
That is, the EA output voltage is proportional to
the peak inductor current.
At the beginning of a cycle, M1 is off. The EA
output voltage is higher than the current sense
amplifier output, and the current comparator’s
output is low. The rising edge of the 1.2MHz
CLK signal sets the RS Flip-Flop. Its output
turns on M1 thus connecting the SW pin and
inductor to the input supply.
The increasing inductor current is sensed and
amplified by the Current Sense Amplifier. Ramp
compensation is summed to the Current Sense
Amplifier output and compared to the Error
Amplifier output by the PWM Comparator.
When the sum of the Current Sense Amplifier
output and the Ramp Compensation signal
exceeds the EA output voltage, the RS FlipFlop is reset and M1 is turned off. The external
Schottky rectifier diode (D1) conducts the
inductor current.
If the sum of the Current Sense Amplifier output
and the Ramp Compensation signal does not
exceed the EA output for a whole cycle, then
the falling edge of the CLK resets the Flip-Flop.
MP2456 Rev. 1.01
1/24/2017
The output of the Error Amplifier integrates the
voltage difference between the feedback and
the 0.81V bandgap reference. The polarity is
such that lower than 0.81V FB pin voltage
increases the EA output voltage. Since the EA
output voltage is proportional to the peak
inductor current, an increase in its voltage also
increases current delivered to the output.
The MP2456 has 0.6ms internal soft-start. Softstart prevents the converter output voltage from
overshooting during startup. When the chip
starts, the internal circuit generates a soft-start
voltage (SS) ramping up with fixed rising rate.
When it is less than the internal reference
(REF), SS overrides REF so the error amplifier
uses SS as the reference. When SS exceeds
REF, REF regains control.
When there is extreme big capacitor at output
(e.g. 2200uF or even bigger), output voltage
would rises slower than SS because the current
that needed to charge up the big output
capacitor is higher than chip's max output
current ability. Current limit would be kicked in
the whole startup period untill Vo rises to its
regulated value.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Setting Output Voltage
The external resistor divider sets the output
voltage (see the Typical Application schematic).
Table 1 lists resistors for common output
voltages. The feedback resistor (R2) also sets
the feedback loop bandwidth with the internal
compensation network (see Figure 1). R1 is:

Selecting the Inductor
Use an inductor with a DC current rating at
least 25% percent higher than the maximum
load current for most applications. For best
efficiency, the inductor’s DC resistance should
be less than 200m. Refer to Table 2 for
suggested surface-mount inductors. For most
designs, the required inductance value can be
derived from the following equation.
L
VOUT ( VIN VOUT )
VIN IL f SW
Selecting the Input Capacitor
The input capacitor reduces the surge current
drawn from the input supply and the switching
noise from the device. The input capacitor
impedance at the switching frequency should be
less than the input source impedance to prevent
high-frequency-switching current from passing
through the input. Use ceramic capacitors with
X5R or X7R dielectrics for their low ESRs and
small temperature coefficients. For most
applications, a 4.7µF capacitor will sufficient.
Selecting the Output Capacitor
The output capacitor keeps the output voltage
ripple small and ensures feedback loop stability.
The output capacitor impedance should be low
at the switching frequency. Use ceramic
capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics for their
low ESR characteristics. For most applications,
a 22µF ceramic capacitor will sufficient.
PCB Layout Guide
PCB layout is very important to stability. Please
follow these guidelines and use Figure 2 as
reference.
1) Keep the path of switching current short
and minimize the loop area formed by the
input capacitor, high-side MOSFET, and
Schottky diode.
2)
Keep the connection from the power
ground→Schottky diode→SW pin as short
and wide as possible.
3)
Ensure all feedback connections are short
and direct. Place the feedback resistors
and compensation components as close to
the chip as possible.
4)
Route SW away from sensitive analog
areas such as FB.
5)
Connect IN, SW, and especially GND to
large copper areas to cool the chip for
improved thermal performance and longterm reliability. For single layer PCBs, avoid
soldering the exposed pad.
Where ∆IL is the inductor ripple current.
Choose the inductor ripple current to be 30% of
the maximum load current. The maximum
inductor peak current is:
IL(MAX ) ILOAD
I L
2
Under light-load conditions (below 100mA), use
a larger inductance to improve efficiency.
