with Input Disconnect Function
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP3435 is a 600kHz, fixed frequency,
high-efficiency,
highly
integrated
boost
converter that operates across a wide input
voltage (VIN) range, with optional input
disconnect and an input average current limit
function. The input disconnect feature provides
additional protection by isolating the input from
the output during an output short or shutdown.
For battery-operated applications, this feature
also helps prevent battery depletion. With a
configurable input average current limit, the
MP3435 supports a wide range of applications.

mode or if the power is cycled.

MP3435 – 19A, 600kHz, 22V SYNCHRONOUS BOOST WITH INPUT DISCONNECT
If IL quickly ramps and IL(MAX) exceeds 100(mV) /
RSENSE (mΩ), the MP3435 immediately shuts
down, entering SCP hiccup mode. This fast
protection allows the MP3435 to survive all
SCP events.
When the MP3435 is shut down by EN or VIN,
GATE is pulled down to GND, so input and
output are well isolated by the input MOSFET.
This is the VIN to VOUT disconnect function.
Light-Load Operation
To optimize efficiency at light loads, the
MP3435 employs
frequency foldback and
pulse-skipping mechanisms. When the load
becomes lighter, VCOMP decreases, causing the
MP3435 to enter fold-back operation (the lighter
the load, the lower the frequency). However, if
the load becomes exceedingly low, the MP3435
enters pulse-skip mode (PSM). PSM operation
is optimized so that only one switching pulse is
launched in every burst cycle.
Enable (EN) and Configurable UVLO
EN enables and disables the MP3435. When a
voltage exceeding VEN_H (about 1V) is applied,
the MP3435 starts up some of the internal
circuits (micro-power mode). If the EN voltage
continues to rise above VEN_ON (about 1.33V),
the MP3435 enables all functions and begins
boost operation. Boost operation is disabled if
the EN voltage is below VEN_ON. To shut down
the MP3435 completely, a voltage below VEN_L
MP3435 Rev. 1.0
11/30/2021
(about 0.4V) is required on EN. After shutdown,
the MP3435 sinks a current below 1µA from the
input power.
The maximum recommended voltage on EN is
5.5V. If the EN control signal comes from a
voltage above 5.5V, a resistor should be added
between EN and the control source. An internal
Zener diode on EN clamps the EN voltage to
prevent runaway.
Ensure the Zener-clamped current flowing into
EN is below 0.3mA. EN configures the VIN
UVLO threshold (see the Under-Voltage
Lockout (UVLO) Hysteresis section on page 18
for additional details).
Output Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
Except for controlling the COMP signal to
regulate VOUT, the MP3435 also provides OVP.
If the FB voltage exceeds 108% of VREF, boost
switching stops. When the FB voltage drops
below 104% of VREF, the device resumes
switching automatically.
Thermal Shutdown
The device has an internal temperature monitor.
If the die temperature exceeds 150°C, the
converter shuts down. Once the temperature
drops below 125°C, the converter turns on
again.

MP3435 – 19A, 600kHz, 22V SYNCHRONOUS BOOST WITH INPUT DISCONNECT
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Selecting the Current Limit Resistor
The MP3435 features an average current limit
when the external sensing resistor is used.
RSENSE is the resistor connected between IN
and SENSE, and it sets the current limit (ICL). ICL
can be calculated using Equation (1):
ICL = VCL /RSENSE
(1)
Where VCL is typically 54mV, ICL is in A, and
RSENSE is in mΩ.
Considering the parasitic inductance on the
sense resistor, a small package resistor (e.g.,
0805 package) is recommended. Add several
parallel resistors if the power rating is lower
than requested. To reduce parasitic resistance
and noise, a minimum 4mΩ current-sense
resistor is recommended.
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) Hysteresis
The MP3435 features a configurable UVLO
hysteresis. During start-up, EN sinks a 4.5μA
current from the upper resistor, RTOP (see
Figure 2).
VIN
MP3435
RTOP
4.5μA
Figure 2: Configurable VIN UVLO
VIN must increase to overcome the current sink.
The VIN start-up threshold (VIN-ON) can be
estimated with Equation (2):
VIN−ON = VEN−ON (1 +
RTOP
) + 4.5A RTOP
RBOT
(2)
Where VEN-ON is the EN turn-on threshold
(typically 1.33V).
Once the EN voltage reaches VEN-ON, the 4.5µA
sink current turns off to create a reverse
hysteresis for the VIN falling threshold (VIN-UVLOVIN-UVLO-HYS can be calculated with
HYS).
Equation (3):
VIN−UVLO−HYS = 4.5A RTOP
MP3435 Rev. 1.0
11/30/2021
Setting the Output Voltage (VOUT)
VOUT is fed back through two sense resistors
placed in series. The FB reference voltage (VFB)
is typically 1.225V. VOUT can be estimated with
Equation (4):
VOUT = VREF (1 +
R1
)
R2
(4)
Where R1 is the top FB resistor, R2 is the
bottom FB resistor, and VREF is the reference
voltage (typically 1.225V).
Choose the FB resistors in the 10kΩ range (or
higher) for good efficiency.
EN
RBOT
Selecting the Soft-Start Capacitor (CSS)
The MP3435 includes a SS circuit that limits
VCOMP during start-up to prevent excessive IIN.
This prevents premature termination of the
source voltage at start-up due to IIN overshoot.
When power is applied to the MP3435 and EN
asserts, a 7μA internal current source charges
the external CSS. VSS clamps VCOMP (as well as
IL(MAX)) until the output is close to regulation, or
until VCOMP reaches 2V. For most applications, a
10nF CSS is sufficient. If the output capacitance
is large or the front power supply cannot
withstand the huge inrush current, use a largervalue capacitor.
Selecting the Input Capacitor
An input capacitor is required to supply the AC
ripple current to the inductor while limiting noise
at the input source. A low-ESR capacitor is
required to minimize noise. Ceramic capacitors
are recommended, but tantalum or low ESR
electrolytic capacitors are sufficient.
For loop stability, at least two 22µF capacitors
are recommended for high-power applications,.
The capacitor can be electrolytic, tantalum, or
ceramic. Since the capacitor absorbs the input
switching current, it requires an adequate ripple
current rating. Use a capacitor with an RMS
current rating exceeding the inductor ripple
current (see the Selecting the Inductor section
on page 19 to determine the inductor ripple
current).

MP3435 – 19A, 600kHz, 22V SYNCHRONOUS BOOST WITH INPUT DISCONNECT
To ensure stable operation, place the input
capacitor as close to the IC as possible.
Alternately, a smaller, high-quality, 0.1μF
ceramic capacitor can be placed close to the IC,
while a larger-value capacitor is placed further
away. If using this technique, an electrolytic or
tantalum capacitor is recommended for the
larger-value capacitor. All ceramic capacitors
should be placed close to the MP3435’s input.
Selecting the Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is required to maintain the
DC
VOUT.
Low-ESR
capacitors
are
recommended to minimize the output voltage
ripple (VRIPPLE). The characteristics of the output
capacitor affect regulation and control system
stability. Ceramic, tantalum, or low-ESR
electrolytic capacitors are recommended. If
using ceramic capacitors, the impedance of the
capacitor at fSW is dominated by the
capacitance, so VRIPPLE is independent of the
ESR. VRIPPLE can be calculated with Equation
(5):
VRIPPLE
V
(1 − IN ) ILOAD
VOUT
=
COUT fSW
(5)
If using tantalum or low-ESR electrolytic
capacitors, the ESR dominates the impedance
at fSW, so VRIPPLE can be estimated using
Equation (6):
(1 −
VRIPPLE =
(6)
Where RESR is the equivalent series resistance
of the output capacitors.
Choose an output capacitor to satisfy the
VRIPPLE and load transient design requirements.
Capacitance de-rating should be taken into
consideration when designing high VOUT
applications. Three 22μF ceramic capacitors
are suitable for most applications.

Optimized Performance with
MPS Inductor MPL-AY1050 Series
The inductor is required to force a higher VOUT
while being driven by VIN. A larger-value
inductor has less ripple current, resulting in a
lower IL(MAX). This reduces stress on the internal
N-channel switch and enhances efficiency.
However, a larger-value inductor has a larger
physical size, a higher series resistance, and a
lower saturation current.
A good rule of thumb is to allow the peak-topeak ripple current to be approximately 30% to
40% of the maximum input current (IIN(MAX)).
Make sure that IL(MAX) is below 75% of ICL at the
operating duty cycle to prevent regulation loss
due to ICL. Additionally, make sure that the
inductor does not saturate under the worst-case
load transient and start-up conditions. The
required inductance value (L) can be estimated
with Equation (7):
L=
Where VIN and VOUT are the DC input and
output voltages, respectively, ILOAD is the load
current, fSW is the fixed 600kHz switching

Applications
Selecting the Input MOSFET
The MP3435 integrates one GATE pin to drive
an external N-channel MOSFET, which
disconnects the input power or limits IIN. The
parameters to select the input disconnect
MOSFET are described in greater detail below.
1. Drain-to-source voltage rating: This value
should exceed VIN.
2. Drain-to-source current rating: IIN(MAX) is the
maximum current through the input
disconnect MOSFET. This occurs when VIN
is at a minimum, and the load power is at a
maximum.
3. Safe operating area (SOA): When
conduction a current, the MOSFET should
be able to support a current pulse that has a
high level of VCL (mV) / RSENSE (mΩ) and
lasts for CSS (nF) x 0.7V / 7µA + 0.5ms.
4. Gate-to-source voltage rating: The positive
gate-to-source voltage rating should exceed
5.5V, while the negative voltage rating
should exceed VOUT. If VOUT is too high and
the MOSFET gate-to-source rating cannot
meet the requirement, placing a diode
between the source and disconnecting
MOSFET gate is recommended (see Figure
4).

BST Charger for Low Output Applications
In some low output applications (e.g. a 5V
output), the voltage across CBST may be
insufficient. In this case, a Schottky diode
should be connected from the output port to
BST, conducting the current into CBST when SW
goes low (see Figure 3).
5. Gate-to-source threshold voltage: The
threshold should be below 1.5V. A 1V to
1.2V range across the overall temperature
range is recommended.
6. On resistance (RDS_ON): This value should
be small for high conversion efficiency.
7. Low leakage current: This value should be
low for better isolation.
In addition to the parameters listed above,
consider the size and thermal temperature.
Compensation
The output of COMP compensates the
regulation control system. The system uses two
poles (FP1 and FP2) and one zero to stabilize the
control loop.
FP1 is set by the output capacitor (COUT) and the
load resistance (RLOAD), and FP2 starts from the
origin. The zero (FZ1) is set by the
compensation capacitor (CCOMP) and the
compensation resistor (RCOMP). FP1 and FZ1 can
be calculated with Equation (9) and Equation
(10), respectively:
FP1 =
FZ1 =

(Hz)

Where GCS is the compensation voltage to the IL
gain, AVEA is the error amplifier voltage gain,
and VFB is the feedback regulation threshold.

MP3435 – 19A, 600kHz, 22V SYNCHRONOUS BOOST WITH INPUT DISCONNECT
There is also a right half-plane zero (FRHPZ) that
exists in continuous conduction mode (CCM),
where IL does not drop to zero in each cycle.
FRHPZ can be calculated using Equation (12):
FRHPZ =

( IN )2 (Hz)

FRHPZ increases the gain and reduces the phase
simultaneously, resulting in a smaller phase
and gain margin. The worst-case condition
occurs when VIN is at its minimum and the
output power is at its maximum. See the Typical
Application Circuits section on page 23 for
compensation recommendations.

PCB Layout Guidelines
Efficient PCB layout is critical for high-frequency
switching power supplies. A poor layout can
result in reduced performance, excessive EMI,
resistive loss, and system instability. Use a 4layer PCB for high-power applications. For the
best results, refer to Figure 5 and follow the
guidelines below:
Via
1. Keep the output loop (OUT, PGND, and C2)
as small as possible.
2. Place a 0.1μF capacitor (C2D) close to the IC
to reduce the PCB parasitical inductance.
Top Layer
3. Connect SW to Mid-Layer 1 through two vias
on the right side of SW to enhance the
current capability (shown as the red
connections in the Top Layer and Mid-Layer
1 on Figure 5).
4. Place the FB dividers (R1 and R2) as close
as possible to FB.
5. Route the sensing traces (SENSE and IN)
closely in parallel with a small, closed area.
6. Use a 0805 package for the sensing resistor
(R4) to reduce parasitic inductance.
Mid-Layer 1
7. Connect the VOUT feedback wire close to the
output capacitor (C2C).
8. Connect the compensation components, CSS,
and VDD capacitor to AGND with a short loop.
9. Keep the input loop (C1, R4, Q1, L1, SW, and
PGND) as small as possible.
10. Make the BST path as short as possible.
11. Float the TM pin in application.
Mid-Layer 2
12. Place enough GND vias close to the MP3435
for good thermal dissipation.
13. Place wide copper or vias associated with the
input MOSFET’s drain pin for thermal
dissipation.
