MP9485
100V Input, 500mA,
Step-Down Converter
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP9485 is a high-voltage, step-down,
switching regulator that delivers up to 0.5A of
current to the load. It integrates a high-side,
high-voltage power MOSFET with a current limit
of 1.0A, typically. The wide 4.5V to 100V input
range accommodates a variety of step-down
applications, making it ideal for automotive,
industry, and lighting applications. Hysteretic
voltage-mode control is employed for very fast
response. MPS’s proprietary feedback control
scheme minimizes the number of required
external components.
The switching frequency can be up to 2MHz,
allowing for small component size. Thermal
shutdown and short-circuit protection (SCP)
provide reliable and fault-tolerant operations. A
170µA quiescent current allows the MP9485 to
be used in battery-powered applications.
The MP9485 is available in a SOIC-8 package
with an exposed pad.

Description
Feedback. FB is the input to the voltage feedback hysteretic comparator.
No connection. NC is not connected.
Input supply. VIN supplies power to all of the internal control circuitries, both BST
regulators, and the high-side switch. A decoupling capacitor to ground must be placed
close to VIN to minimize switching spikes.
Bootstrap. BST is the positive power supply for the internal, floating, high-side
MOSFET driver. Connect a bypass capacitor between BST and SW.
Switch node. SW is the output from the high-side switch. A low forward voltage (VF)
Schottky rectifier to ground is required. The rectifier must be placed close to SW to
reduce switching spikes.
PWM dimming input. DIM is useful in LED driver applications. Pull DIM below the
specified threshold for dimming off; pull DIM above the specified threshold for dimming
on. If there is no need for a dimming function, such as in common buck applications,
then connect DIM and EN together.
Enable input. Pull EN below the specified threshold to shut down the MP9485; pull EN
above the specified threshold or leave EN floating to enable the MP9485.
Ground. GND should be placed as close to the output capacitor as possible to avoid
the high-current switch paths. Connect the exposed pad to the GND plane for optimal
thermal performance.

MP9485 – 100V INPUT, 500mA, STEP-DOWN CONVERTER
OPERATION
Hysteresis Current Control with Adaptive
Threshold Adjustment
The MP9485 operates in a hysteretic voltagemode control to regulate the output voltage. FB
is connected to the tap of a resistor divider,
which determines the output voltage. The
power MOSFET is turned on and remains on
until FB rises to 215mV. The power MOSFET is
turned off and remains off until FB falls to
185mV. The two thresholds of 215mV and
185mV are adaptively adjusted to compensate
for all the circuit delays so that the output
voltage is regulated with an average 200mV
value at FB.
Enable (EN) Control
The MP9485 has a dedicated enable control pin
(EN) with positive logic. Its falling threshold is
1.23V, and its rising threshold is 1.55V (320mV
higher).
When floating, EN is pulled up to about 3.0V by
an internal 2µA current source, so it is enabled.
A current capability over 2µA is needed to pull
EN down.
Floating Driver and Bootstrap Charging
The floating power MOSFET driver is powered
by an external bootstrap capacitor. This floating
driver has its own UVLO protection. This
UVLO’s rising threshold is 2.2V with a threshold
of 150mV.
The bootstrap capacitor is charged and
regulated at about 5V by the dedicated internal
bootstrap regulator.
If the internal circuit does not have sufficient
voltage, and the bootstrap capacitor is not
sufficiently charged, extra external circuitry can
be used to ensure that the bootstrap voltage is
in the normal operating region. Refer to the
External Bootstrap Diode section on page 12
for more detail.
MP9485 Rev. 1.11
10/10/2019
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) is implemented
to protect the chip from operating at an
insufficient supply voltage. The UVLO rising
threshold is about 4.0V, while its falling
threshold is a consistent 3.6V.
Dimming Function for LED Applications
Because the FB reference of the MP9485 is
very low, it is a good idea for the LED driver to
have the LED current sense resistor connected
between FB and GND. In such applications, the
MP9485 uses DIM for dimming. To achieve
dimming, apply a pulse on DIM. The high level
of the pulse should be >1.5V, and the low level
should be 65%) and very
high frequency (over 1.5MHz) applications.

PCB Layout Guidelines
Efficient PCB layout is critical for stable
operation. Refer to Figure 3 and follow the
guidelines below.
1, Place the input decoupling capacitor, catch
diode, and MP9485 (VIN, SW, and PGND pin)
as close to each other as possible.
2, Power traces should be short and wide to
reduce voltage spikes on the SW node and
lower EMI noise level.
3, Run the feedback trace as far from the
inductor and noisy power traces as possible.
4, Thermal vias with 15mil barrel diameter and
40mil pitch (instance between the centers) are
suggested under the exposed pad to improve
thermal conduction.
