Current Comparator and Current Limit
The power MOSFET current is accurately
sensed via a current sense MOSFET. It is then
fed to the high speed current comparator for the
current mode control purpose. The current
comparator takes this sensed current as one of
its inputs. When the power MOSFET is turned
on, the comparator is first blanked till the end of
the turn-on transition to avoid noise issues. The
comparator then compares the power switch
current with the COMP voltage. When the
sensed current is higher than the COMP
voltage, the comparator output is low, turning
off the power MOSFET. The cycle-by-cycle
maximum current of the internal power
MOSFET is internally limited.

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.
While the internal supply rail is up, an internal
timer holds the power MOSFET OFF for about
50µs to blank the startup glitches. When the
internal soft-start block is enabled, it first holds
its SS output low to ensure the remaining
circuitries are ready and then slowly ramps up.
Three events can shut down the chip: EN low,
VIN low and thermal shutdown. In the shutdown
procedure, power MOSFET is turned off first to
avoid any fault triggering. The COMP voltage
and the internal supply rail are then pulled down.
Programmable Oscillator
The MP2565 oscillating frequency is set by an
external resistor, Rfreq from the FREQ pin to
ground. The value of Rfreq can be calculated
from:
R freq (KΩ) =
180000

APPLICATION INFORMATION
COMPONENT SELECTION
Setting the Output Voltage
The output voltage is set using a resistive
voltage divider from the output voltage to FB pin.
The voltage divider divides the output voltage
down to the feedback voltage by the ratio:
VFB = VOUT
R2
R1 + R2
Thus the output voltage is:
VOUT = VFB
(R1 + R2)
R2
About 20µA current from high side BS circuitry
can be seen at the output when the MP2565 is
at no load. In order to absorb this small amount
of current, keep R2 under 40KΩ. A typical
value for R2 can be 40.2kΩ. With this value, R1
can be determined by:
R1 = 50.25 × ( VOUT − 0.8)(kΩ)
For example, for a 3.3V output voltage, R2 is
40.2kΩ, and R1 is 127kΩ.
Inductor
The inductor is required to supply constant
current to the output load while being driven by
the switched input voltage. A larger value
inductor will result in less ripple current that will
result in lower output ripple voltage. However,
the larger value inductor will have a larger
physical size, higher series resistance, and/or
lower saturation current.
MP2565 Rev. 1.01
12/9/2015
A good rule for determining the inductance to
use is to allow the peak-to-peak ripple current in
the inductor to be approximately 30% of the
maximum switch current limit. Also, make sure
that the peak inductor current is below the
maximum switch current limit. The inductance
value can be calculated by:
L1 =
⎛
⎞
V
VOUT
× ⎜1 − OUT ⎟⎟
fS × ΔIL ⎜⎝
VIN ⎠
Where VOUT is the output voltage, VIN is the input
voltage, fS is the switching frequency, and ΔIL is
the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current.
Choose an inductor that will not saturate under
the maximum inductor peak current. The peak
inductor current can be calculated by:
ILP = ILOAD +
⎛
⎞
VOUT
V
× ⎜⎜1 − OUT ⎟⎟
2 × fS × L1 ⎝
VIN ⎠
Where ILOAD is the load current.
Table 1 lists a number of suitable inductors
from various manufacturers. The choice of
which style inductor to use mainly depends on
the price vs. size requirements and any EMI
requirement.

Output Rectifier Diode
The output rectifier diode supplies the current to
the inductor when the high-side switch is off. To
reduce losses due to the diode forward voltage
and recovery times, use a Schottky diode.
Choose a diode whose maximum reverse
voltage rating is greater than the maximum
input voltage, and whose current rating is
greater than the maximum load current. Table 2
lists
example
Schottky
diodes
and
manufacturers.
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 are preferred, but tantalum or low-ESR
electrolytic capacitors may also suffice.
For simplification, choose the input capacitor
with RMS current rating greater than half of the
maximum load current.

MP2565 – 2.5A, 4MHz, 50V STEP-DOWN CONVERTER
The input capacitor (C1) 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
⎞
⎟⎟
⎠
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 =
VOUT ⎛
V
× ⎜⎜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
MP2565 can be optimized for a wide range of
capacitance and ESR values.

Compensation Components
MP2565 employs current mode control for easy
compensation and fast transient response. The
system stability and transient response are
controlled through the COMP pin. COMP pin is
the output of the internal error amplifier. A
series capacitor-resistor combination sets a
pole-zero
combination
to
control
the
characteristics of the control system. The DC
gain of the voltage feedback loop is given by:
A VDC = R LOAD × G CS × A VEA ×
VFB
VOUT
Where AVEA is the error amplifier voltage gain,
200V/V;
GCS
is
the
current
sense
transconductance, 7.3A/V; RLOAD is the load
resistor value.
The system has two poles of importance. One
is due to the compensation capacitor (C3), the
output resistor of error amplifier. The other is
due to the output capacitor and the load resistor.
These poles are located at:
fP1 =
GEA
2π × C3 × A VEA
fP2 =
1
2π × C2 × R LOAD
Where,
GEA
is
the
transconductance, 60μA/V.
error
amplifier
The system has one zero of importance, due to
the compensation capacitor (C3) and the
compensation resistor (R3). This zero is located
at:
f Z1 =
1
2π × C3 × R3
The system may have another zero of
importance, if the output capacitor has a large
capacitance and/or a high ESR value. The zero,
due to the ESR and capacitance of the output
capacitor, is located at:
fESR =
1
2π × C2 × R ESR

MP2565 – 2.5A, 4MHz, 50V STEP-DOWN CONVERTER
In this case (as shown in Typical Application), a
third pole set by the compensation capacitor
(C6) and the compensation resistor (R3) is
used to compensate the effect of the ESR zero
on the loop gain. This pole is located at:
f P3 =
1
2π × C6 × R3
1. Choose the compensation resistor (R3) to set
the desired crossover frequency. Determine the
R3 value by the following equation:
R3 =
2π × C2 × f C VOUT
×
G EA × G CS
VFB
Where fC is the desired crossover frequency.
The goal of compensation design is to shape
the converter transfer function to get a desired
loop gain. The system crossover frequency
where the feedback loop has the unity gain is
important. Lower crossover frequencies result
in slower line and load transient responses,
while higher crossover frequencies could cause
system unstable. A good rule of thumb is to set
the crossover frequency to approximately onetenth of the switching frequency. The Table 3
lists the typical values of compensation
components for some standard output voltages
with various output capacitors and inductors.
The values of the compensation components
have been optimized for fast transient
responses and good stability at given conditions.

2. Choose the compensation capacitor (C3) to
achieve the desired phase margin. For
applications with typical inductor values, setting
the compensation zero, fZ1, below one forth of
the crossover frequency provides sufficient
phase margin. Determine the C3 value by the
following equation:
C3 >
4
2π × R3 × f C
3. Determine if the second compensation
capacitor (C6) is required. It is required if the
ESR zero of the output capacitor is located at
less than half of the switching frequency, or the
following relationship is valid:
f
1
< S
2π × C2 × R ESR
2
If this is the case, then add the second
compensation capacitor (C6) to set the pole fP3
at the location of the ESR zero. Determine the
C6 value by the equation:
C6 =
C2 × R ESR
R3
To optimize the compensation components for
conditions not listed in Table 3, the following
procedure can be used.

High Frequency Operation
The switching frequency of MP2565 can be
programmed up to 4MHz by an external resistor.
Please pay attention to the following if the
switching frequency is above 2MHz.
The minimum on time of MP2565 is about
100ns (typ). Pulse skipping operation can be
seen more easily at higher switching frequency
due to the minimum on time. Refer to Figure 2
below for detailed information.

Since the internal bootstrap circuitry has higher
impedance, which may not be adequate to
charge the bootstrap capacitor during each (1D)×Ts charging period, an external bootstrap
charging diode is strongly recommended if the
switching frequency is above 2MHz (see
External Bootstrap Diode section for detailed
implementation information).
Layout becomes more important when the
device switches at higher frequency. It is
essential to place the input decoupling
capacitor, catch diode and the MP2565 (Vin pin,
SW pin and PGND) as close as possible, with
traces that are very short and fairly wide. This
can help to greatly reduce the voltage spike on
SW node, and lower the EMI noise level as well.
Try to run the feedback trace as far from the
inductor and noisy power traces as possible. It
is often a good idea to run the feedback trace
on the side of the PCB opposite of the inductor
with a ground plane separating the two. The
compensation components should be placed
closed to the MP2565. Do not place the
compensation components close to or under
high dv/dt SW node, or inside the high di/dt
power loop. If you have to do so, the proper
ground plane must be in place to isolate those.
Switching loss is expected to be increased at
high switching frequency. To help to improve
the thermal conduction, a grid of thermal vias
can be created right under the exposed pad. It
is recommended that they be small (15mil
barrel diameter) so that the hole is essentially
filled up during the plating process, thus aiding
conduction to the other side. Too large a hole
can cause ‘solder wicking’ problems during the
reflow soldering process. The pitch (distance
between the centers) of several such thermal
vias in an area is typically 40mil. Please refer to
the PCB layout guide and example on EV2565
datasheet.
With higher switching frequencies, the inductive
reactance (XL) of capacitor comes to dominate,
so that the ESL of input/output capacitor
determines the input/output ripple voltage at
higher switching frequency. As a result of that,
high frequency ceramic capacitor is strongly
recommended as input decoupling capacitor
and output filtering capacitor for such high
frequency operation.

It is recommended that an external bootstrap
diode be added when the input voltage is no
