MP86920
Intelli-PhaseTM Solution
with Integrated HS-/LS-FETs and Driver
in LGA (4mmx5mm) Package
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP86920 is a monolithic half-bridge driver
with built-in internal power MOSFETs and gate
drivers. It achieves 20A of continuous output
current across a wide input supply range.
The integrated driver and MOSFETS result in
high efficiency due to an optimal dead time and
reduced parasitic inductance.
This device works with tri-state output
controllers, and can operate between 100kHz
and 2MHz. It also comes with a generalpurpose current sense and temperature sense.
The MP86920 is well-suited for server and
telecom applications where efficiency and small
size are a premium. It is available in an LGA-27
(4mmx5mm) package.

OPERATION
The MP86920 is a 20A, monolithic half-bridge
driver with MOSFETs. It is well-suited for multiphase buck regulators. When the VIN, VDD
signals are sufficiently high, operation begins.
PWM
The PWM input pin is capable of tri-state input.
When the PWM input signal is within the tristate threshold window for about 50ns (tHT or
tLT), the high-side MOSFET (HS-FET) turns off
immediately. The low-side MOSFET (LS-FET)
enters diode emulation mode, and stays on until
zero-current detection (ZCD).
The tri-state PWM input is enabled by forcing a
middle-voltage PWM signal, or by floating the
PWM input. The internal current source charges
the signal to a middle voltage. See the PWM
Timing Diagram on page 6 to define the
propagation delay from PWM to the SW node.
Diode Emulation Mode
When PWM is in tri-state input in diode
emulation mode, the LS-FET turns on when the
inductor current is positive. The LS-FET turns
off if the inductor current reaches 0A. Diode
emulation mode can be enabled by floating the
PWM pin or driving it to a middle state.
Positive and Negative Inductor Current Limit
If an over-current (OC) condition is detected on
the HS-FET for four consecutive cycles, the
HS-FET latches off, and TMON/FLT is pulled to
3.3V. The LS-FET turns on, and stays on until
ZCD. To release the latch and restart the
device, cycle the power on VIN or VDD, or
toggle EN.
If the LS-FET detects a -15A current, the part
turns off the LS-FET for 40ns to limit the
negative current. The LS-FET’s negative
current limit does not trigger a fault report.
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
If the junction temperature reaches the overtemperature (OT) threshold, the HS-FET
latches off, and TMON/FLT is pulled to 3.3V.
The LS-FET turns on, and stays on until ZCD.
MP86920 Rev. 1.0
12/22/2020
Temperature-Sense Output with Fault
Indicator (TMON/FLT)
The TMON/FLT pin can sense the junction
temperature or indicate if certain faults have
occurred.
Junction Temperature Sense
When VDD exceeds its under-voltage lockout
(UVLO) threshold and the part is in active
mode, the TMON/FLT pin has an output voltage
that is proportional to the junction temperature.
The gain is 8mV/°C, and it has a 800mV offset
at 25°C (e.g. the voltage is 0.8V when TJ =
25°C, and 1.4V when TJ = 100°C).
Fault Function
If a fault occurs, the TMON/FLT pin is pulled to
VDD to report the fault, regardless of the
temperature. TMON/FLT monitors three fault
events, described below:
1. Over-current limit: The current limit fault
condition must remain for four consecutive
cycles to trigger this fault. If this fault occurs,
the part latches off to turn off the HS-FET.
The LS-FET turns on and stays on until the
current reaches 0A.
2. Over-temperature fault when TJ > 160°C: If
an over-temperature fault occurs, the part
latches off, and the HS-FET turns off. The
LS-FET turns on and stays on until the
current reaches 0A.
3. SW-to-PGND short: If a short fault occurs,
the part latches off to turn off the HS-FET.
The fault latch is not reset by entering standby
mode. The fault latch is released by cycling the
power on VIN or VDD.
Current Sense (CS)
The CS pin is a bidirectional current source that
is proportional to the inductor current. The
current-sense gain is 10μA/A. If required, a
resistor can be used to configure the voltage
gain proportional to the inductor current
The CS voltage must range between 0.8V and
2.0V to keep CS’s output current linearly
proportional to the inductor current. In general,
there is a resistor (RCS) connected from the CS
pin to an external voltage that is capable of

sinking small currents. This provides a sufficient
voltage level to meet the required operating
voltage range.
Choose a value for RCS such that VCS stays
within its operating range. This relationship can
be calculated with Equation (1):

APPLICATION INFORMATION
PCB Layout Guidelines
An efficient layout is critical for stable operation.
For the best results, refer to Figure 3 and follow
the guidelines below:
1. Place the MLCC input capacitors as close to
VIN and PGND as possible.
2. Place as many VIN and PGND vias
underneath the package as possible. Place
these vias between the VIN or PGND long
pads.
3. Place a VIN copper plane on the second
inner layer to form the PCB stack
(positive/negative/positive)
to
reduce
parasitic impedance from the MLCC input
capacitor to the MP86950. Ensure that the
copper plane on the inner layer covers the
VIN vias and MLCC input capacitors.
4. Place more PGND vias close to the PGND
pin/pad to minimize parasitic resistance,
parasitic impedance, and thermal resistance.
5. Place the BST capacitor, BST resistor, and
VDRV capacitor as close to the MP86950’s
pins as possible. For BST routing, use a
trace width greater than 20mils. Avoid
placing vias on the BST driving path.
6. Place the VDD decoupling capacitor close
to the device.
7. Route the CS signal trace away from high
voltages and current slew rate nodes (such
as SW, PWM, the VIN vias, and the PGND
vias).
