MPQ2420-AEC1
75V, 0.3A, Synchronous
Step-Down Converter with Watchdog
AEC-Q100 Qualified
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MPQ2420 is a step-down switching
regulator with integrated high- and low-side,
high-voltage power MOSFETs. It provides a
highly efficient output of up to 0.3A. The
integrated watchdog adds additional security
redundancy to the system.
The wide 4.5V to 75V input range accommodates
a variety of step-down applications in an
automotive environment. A 5μA shutdown
mode quiescent current in a full temperature
range is ideal for battery-powered applications.
It allows for high-power conversion efficiency
over a wide load range by scaling down the
switching frequency under a light-load condition
to reduce switching and gate driver losses. The
start-up switching frequency and short circuit
can also be scaled down to prevent inductor
current runaway.
Full protection features include under-voltage
lockout (UVLO) and thermal shutdown. Thermal
shutdown provides reliable, fault-tolerant
operation.
The MPQ2420 is available in a TSSOP-16 EP
package.

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 produces an excessive die temperature, causing
the regulator to 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
operating conditions.
4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

MPQ2420―75V, 0.3A, SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN CONVERTER WITH WATCHDOG
DC/DC OPERATION
The MPQ2420 is a 75V, 0.3A, synchronous,
step-down, switching regulator with integrated
high-side and low-side, high-voltage power
MOSFETs (HS-FET and LS-FET, respectively). It
provides a highly efficient 0.3A output and
features a wide input voltage range, external softstart control, and precision current limit. It has a
very low operational quiescent current, making it
suitable for battery-powered applications.
Control Scheme
The ILIM comparator, FB comparator, and zero
current detector (ZCD) block control of the PWM
(see Figure 2). If VFB is below the 1V reference
and the inductor current drops to zero, the HSFET turns on, and the ILIM comparator begins
sensing the HS-FET current. When the HS-FET
current reaches its limit, the HS-FET turns off,
and the LS-FET and the ZCD block turn on. The
ILIM comparator turns off to reduce the quiescent
current. The LS-FET and the ZCD block turn off
after the inductor current drops to zero. If VFB is
below the 1V reference, the HS-FET turns on
and begins another cycle. If VFB remains higher
than the 1V reference, the HS-FET remains off
until VFB drops below 1V.

regulation. Lower values of VIN result in lower
output voltages. When VBIAS > 2.9V, the BIAS
supply overrides the input voltage and supplies
power to the internal regulator. When VBIAS >
4.5V, BIAS powers the LS-FET driver. Using
BIAS to power the internal regulators improves
efficiency. It is recommended to connect BIAS to
the regulated output voltage when it is in the 2.9V
to 5.5V range. When the output voltage is out of
this range, BIAS can be powered using an
external supply of >2.9V to >4.5V.
Enable Control (EN)
The MPQ2420 has a dedicated enable control
(EN). When VIN goes high, EN enables and
disables the chip (high logic). Its falling threshold
is a consistent 1.2V, and its rising threshold is
about 350mV. When floating, EN is pulled down
internally to GND to disable the chip.
When EN = 0V, the chip enters the lowest
shutdown current mode. When EN is higher than
zero, but lower than its rising threshold, the chip
remains in shutdown mode with a slightly larger
shutdown current.
A Zener diode is connected internally from EN to
GND. The typical clamping voltage of the Zener
diode is 6.5V. VIN can be connected to EN
through a high ohm (Ω) resistor if the system
does not have another logic input acting as an
EN signal. The resistor must be designed to limit
the EN sink current to less than 150μA. Since
there is an internal 3M resistor from EN to GND,
the external pull-up resistor should be smaller
than
[VIN (MIN) - 1.55V] 3M
1.55V
to ensure that EN can
turn on at the lowest operational VIN.
Figure 2: Control Scheme
Internal Regulator and BIAS
The 2.6V internal regulator powers most of the
internal circuitry. This regulator takes VIN and
operates in the full VIN range. When VIN is greater
than 3.0V, the output of the regulator is in full

MPQ2420―75V, 0.3A, SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN CONVERTER WITH WATCHDOG
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) protects the chip
from operating below the operational supply
voltage range. The UVLO rising threshold is
about 4.2V while its falling threshold is about
3.75V.
Soft Start (SS)
The MPQ2420 employs a soft-start (SS)
mechanism to prevent the converter output
voltage from overshooting during start-up. When
the chip starts, the internal circuitry generates a
constant current to charge an external soft-start
capacitor. The SS voltage ramps up slowly from
0V at a slow pace set by the SS time. When VSS
is less than VREF, VSS overrides VREF, and the FB
comparator uses VSS as the reference instead of
VREF. When VSS is higher than VREF, VREF
resumes control.
VSS can be much smaller than VFB, but it can only
barely exceed VFB. If VFB drops, VSS tracks VFB.
This function prevents an output voltage
overshoot during short-circuit recovery. When the
short circuit is removed, a new SS process
ramps up.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown prevents the chip from
operating at exceedingly high temperatures.
When the silicon die reaches temperatures that
exceed its upper threshold, the entire chip shuts
down. When the temperature falls below its lower
threshold, the chip is enabled again.
Floating Driver and Bootstrap Charging
An external bootstrap capacitor powers the
floating HS-FET driver. This floating driver has
its own UVLO protection. This UVLO’s rising
threshold is about 2.4V with a hysteresis of about
300mV. During the UVLO, the SS voltage resets
to zero. When the UVLO is disabled, the
regulator follows the soft-start process.
The dedicated internal bootstrap regulator
charges and regulates the bootstrap capacitor to
about 5V. When the voltage difference between
BST and SW falls below its working parameters,
a PMOS pass transistor connected from VIN to
BST turns on to charge the bootstrap capacitor.
The current path runs from VIN to BST to SW.
The external circuit must have enough voltage
headroom to accommodate charging.
If VIN is sufficiently higher than SW, the bootstrap
capacitor charges. When the HS-FET is on, VIN is
about equal to SW, and the bootstrap capacitor
cannot charge. The optimal charging period
occurs when the LS-FET is on and VIN - VSW is at
its largest. VSW is equal to VOUT when there is no
current in the inductor. The difference between
VIN and VOUT charges the bootstrap capacitor.
If the internal circuit does not have sufficient
voltage and time to charge the bootstrap
capacitor, extra external circuitry can be used to
ensure that the bootstrap voltage operates in its
normal region.
Start-Up and Shutdown
If both VIN and VEN are higher than their
appropriate thresholds, the chip starts up. The
reference block starts first, generating stable
reference voltages and currents, and then the
internal regulator is enabled. The regulator
provides a stable supply for the remaining
circuitries.
If the internal supply rail is high, an internal timer
keeps the power MOSFET off for about 50µs to
clear any start-up glitches. When the soft-start
block is enabled, the SS output is held low and
ramps up slowly.
Three events can shut down the chip: VEN low,
VIN low, and thermal shutdown. During the
shutdown procedure, the signaling path is
blocked first to avoid any fault triggering. The
internal supply rail is then pulled down. The
floating driver is not subject to this shutdown
command, but its charging path is disabled.
Power OK (POK)
POK is an open-drain power good output. A high
output indicates that VOUT is higher than 90% of
its nominal value. POK is pulled down in
shutdown mode.
Reference Voltage Output (VREF)
VREF has an output reference voltage of 1V. It has
up to 500µA of source current capability.

MPQ2420―75V, 0.3A, SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN CONVERTER WITH WATCHDOG
WATCHDOG OPERATION
Supply Voltage
A supply voltage of VCC = 5V +/-10% is
recommended for normal operation. WDO is
pulled low when VCC rises to 1V or higher.
When VCC rises to 4.65V, WDO remains at a
low level for t0 to reset the MCU.
Timer
Calculate Period T (µs) with Equation (1):
T s 15.75 RTIMER k 73.5
(1)
Calculate RTIMER (k) with Equation (2):
RTIMER k 0.063 T s 4.67
(2)
For example, if RTIMER=51kΩ, then T0.88ms.
Monitor MCU Synchronization Signal
When the watchdog is in a sync signal
monitoring state, the watchdog IC receives a
WDI_OK signal from the MCU within t1, the
timer resets and the watchdog enters normal
operation (WDI remains low for 10µs to 5ms). If
the watchdog does not receive the WDI_OK
signal from the MCU during t1, it generates a
reset signal and enters the sync signal
monitoring state again.
Short Window Mode
When the MCU and watchdog are synchronized
correctly and MODE is low, the watchdog
operates in short window mode if WDI_OK is
received in a window close state (t2). The
watchdog then outputs a reset signal and
enters the sync signal monitoring state.
Long Window Mode
When the MCU and watchdog are synchronized
correctly and MODE is high, the watchdog
works in a long window mode if WDI_OK is
received in a window close state (t4). The
watchdog then outputs a reset signal and
enters the sync signal monitoring state.
If WDI_OK is received in a window open state
(t5), the watchdog enters a window close state.
The MCU is in normal operation in this
situation.
If WDI_OK is not received in t4+t5, the watchdog
then outputs a reset signal and enters the sync
signal monitoring state.
MODE is pulled low during a long window
mode, and the watchdog then enters a short
window mode.
Watchdog Disable
Pull /WD_DIS low to disable the watchdog. Pull
/WD_DIS high to enable the watchdog. It has a
weak internal pull-up so leaving /WD_DIS open
enables the watchdog.
WDI Error
The WDI signal remaining at a low level for
longer than the max WDI_OK pulse width is
regarded as an error. When this error occurs,
WDO is pulled down until WDI rises to a high
level again.
If WDI_OK is received in a window open state
(t3), the watchdog enters a window close state.
The MCU is in normal operation in this
situation.
If WDI_OK is not received in t2+t3, the watchdog
outputs a reset signal and enters the sync
signal monitoring state.
MODE is pulled high during the short window
mode, and the watchdog enters a long window
mode.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Selecting the Inductor
The Ipeak is fixed, and the inductor value can be
determined with Equation (3):
L
VOUT VIN - VOUT
VIN Ipeak fs
VIN (MAX ) t ON(MIN)
Ipeak
(4)
Where VIN(MAX) is the maximum value of the input
voltage, and tON(MIN) is the 115ns minimum switch
on time.
Switching Frequency
The switching frequency can be estimated with
Equation (5):
2 Io VOUT VIN - VOUT
(5)
fs
2
Ipeak
VIN L
A larger inductor can produce a lower fS. fS
increases as Io increases. When Io increases to
its maximum value Ipeak/2, fS also reaches its
highest value. The maximum fS value can be
estimated with Equation (6):
fs(max)
V VIN - VOUT
OUT
Ipeak VIN L
(6)
Setting the Output Voltage
The output voltage is set using a resistive voltage
divider from the output voltage to FB. To achieve
the desired output voltage, select a resistor
divider using Equation (7):
R1 VOUT
-1
R2 VREF
IIN_FB
(3)
Where fS is the switching frequency at the
maximum output current.
A larger inductor value results in a lower
switching frequency and higher efficiency.
However, the larger value inductor has a larger
physical size, a higher series resistance, a lower
saturation current, and/or a slow load transient
dynamic performance. The inductor value has a
lower limit, which is determined by the minimum
on time. To keep the inductor functioning
properly, choose an inductor value that is higher
than LMIN, which is derived from Equation (4):
L MIN
The current flowing into the resistor divider
increases the supply current, especially at noload and light-load conditions. The VIN supply
current caused by the feedback resistors can be
calculated with Equation (8):
VOUT
V
1
OUT
R1 R2 VIN η
(8)
Where ƞ is the efficiency of the regulator.
To reduce this current, resistors in the MΩ range
are recommended. The recommended value of
the feedback resistors are shown in Table 1.

Under-Voltage Lockout Point Setting
The MPQ2420 has an internal fixed undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold. The rising
threshold is about 4.2V while the falling threshold
is about 3.75V. An external resistor divider
between EN and VIN can be used to obtain a
higher equivalent UVLO threshold (see Figure 3).

Figure 3: Adjustable UVLO Using EN
The UVLO threshold can be calculated with
Equation (9) and Equation (10):
UVLO TH_Rising (1

) ENTH_Rising
3M//R5
UVLO TH_Falling (1
R4
) ENTH_Falling (10)

Where VREF is the FB reference voltage 1V.

Soft-Start Capacitor
The soft-start time is the duration of an internal
5μA current source charging the SS capacitor
from 0 to the FB reference voltage (1V). The SS
capacitor value can be determined with Equation
(11):
(11)
CSS 5 t SS (μF)
Feed-Forward Capacitor
The HS-FET turns on when FB drops below the
reference voltage, producing good load transient
performance. However, this also causes the HSFET to be sensitive to the FB voltage during turnon. The HS-FET is easily affected by FB noise at
turn-on, which can trigger a Fsw jitter. Fsw jitter
occurs most often when the Vo ripple is very
small. To improve jitter performance, it is
recommended to use a small feed-forward
capacitor of about 39pF between Vo and FB.
