MP3414
1.8A,1MHz, Synchronous, Step-up
Converter with Output Disconnect
The Future of Analog IC Technology
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The MP3414 is a high-efficiency, synchronous,
current–mode, step-up converter with output
disconnect.
The MP3414 can start up from an input voltage
as low as 0.8V to provide inrush current limiting,
and output short-circuit protection. The
integrated, P-channel, synchronous rectifier
improves efficiency and eliminates the need for
an external Schottky diode. The PMOS
disconnects the output from the input when the
part shuts down. This output disconnect feature
allows the output to be completely discharged,
thus allowing the part to draw a 1μA supply
current in shutdown mode.
The 1MHz switching frequency allows for
smaller external components, while the internal
compensation and the soft-start minimize the
external component count: these feature help to
produce a compact solution for a wide current
load range.

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
operation conditions.

MP3414 – 1.8A, 1MHZ, SYNCHRONOUS, STEP-UP CONVERTER WITH OUTPUT DISCONNECT
OPERATION
The MP3414 is a 1MHz, synchronous, step-up
converter housed in a compact TSOT23
package with true output disconnect. Able to
operate at low-input voltages of less than 0.8V,
the device features fixed-frequency currentmode PWM control for exceptional line and load
regulation. Internal soft-start and loop
compensation simplify the design process and
minimize the external components. The internal
low-RDS(ON) MOSFETs combined with Power
Save Mode operation enable the device to
maintain high efficiency over a wide currentload range.
Synchronous Rectifier
The MP3414 integrates an N-channel and a Pchannel MOSFET to realize a synchronous
rectifier. Replacing the traditional Schottky
diode with a low-RDS(ON) PMOS improves
efficiency. In a conventional synchronous
rectifier, the PMOS body diode is forwardbiased, and the current flows from VIN to VOUT.
The MP3414 allows for true output disconnect
by eliminating the body diode, and prevents
battery depletion when the converter shuts
down. To prevent excessive inductor current,
the PMOS synchronous rectifier only functions
when VOUT > (VIN +200mV).
Start-Up
When EN is on, the MP3414 starts up with a
linear charge period. During this linear charge
period, the rectifier PMOS turns on until the
output capacitor charges to VIN–200mV; the
PMOS current is limited during this period to
around 750mA to avoid inrush current. This
circuit also helps to limit the output current
under short circuit conditions.
After the linear charging period, the device
starts switching. If VOUT remains below 1.7V, the
part then works in free-running mode; in this
mode, the device works in open loop at a fixed
500kHz switching frequency, the duty cycle
depends on the input-output ratio, and the
switching current is limited to 1.2A to avoid the
start-up current inrush.
The internal soft-start (SS) does not take
MP3414 Rev 1.05
3/30/2018
charge and continues to rise following the FB
voltage during the linear charging and freerunning period. Once the output voltage
reaches 1.7V, the normal closed-loop operation
initiates, VOUT starts to rise under the control of
SS, and the current limit goes to 1.8A. It then
works either in boost mode or down mode
depending on VIN and VOUT. Table 1 lists the
operation modes during start up.
Table 1: Operation Mode during Start-Up
Sequence
VOUT VOUT) Operation
The MP3414 will continue to regulate the output
voltage even when the input voltage exceeds
the output voltage. This is achieved by
terminating the switching at the synchronous
PMOS and applying VIN statically on its gate.
This ensures that the slope of the inductor
current will reverse while current flows to the
output. Since the PMOS no longer acts as a
low-impedance switch in this mode, power
dissipation increases within the IC to cause a
sharp drop in efficiency. Limit the maximum
output current to maintain an acceptable
junction temperature.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
COMPONENT SELECTION
Input Capacitor Selection
Low ESR input capacitors reduce input
switching noise and reduce the peak current
drawn from the battery. It follows that ceramic
capacitors are also a good choice for input
decoupling and should be located as close as
possible to the device. Add a ceramic capacitor
larger than 10μF in parallel with a 100nF
ceramic capacitor close to the IC.
Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor requires a minimum
capacitance value of 22μF at the programmed
output voltage to ensure stability over the full
operating range. A higher capacitance value
may be required to lower the output ripple and
also the transient response. Low ESR
capacitors, such as X5R- or X7R-type ceramic
capacitors, are recommended. Assuming that
the ESR is zero, estimate the minimum output
capacitance to support the ripple in the PWM
mode as.
CO
IO (VOUT(MAX) VIN(MIN) )
fS V OUT(MAX) ∆V
(2)
Where,
VOUT(MAX) = Maximum output voltage
VIN(MIN) = Minimum Input voltage
IO=Output current
fS = Switching frequency
∆V= Acceptable output ripple
Additional output capacitance may also be
required for applications where VIN≈VOUT to
reduce ripple in PSM mode and to ensure
stability in PWM mode, especially at higher
output load currents.
MP3414 Rev 1.05
3/30/2018
Inductor Selection
The MP3414 can use small surface-mount
inductors due to its 1MHz switching frequency.
Inductor values between 1.5μH and 4.7μH are
suitable for most applications. Larger values of
inductance will allow slightly greater output
current capability (and lower the PSM threshold)
by reducing the inductor ripple current.
Increasing the inductance above 6.8μH will
increase component size while providing little
improvement in output current capability. The
minimum inductance value is given by:
L
VIN(MIN) (VOUT(MAX) VIN(MIN) )
2 V OUT(MAX) ∆IL fS
(3)
Where ∆IL is the acceptable inductor current
ripple
The inductor current ripple is typically set at
30% to 40% of the maximum inductor current.
High-frequency ferrite-core inductor materials
reduce frequency-dependent power losses and
improve efficiency compared to cheaper
powdered-iron cores. The inductor should have
low DCR (inductor series resistance without
saturated windings) to reduce the resistive
power loss; further reducing the DCR will
significantly
improve
efficiency
