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 function is not guaranteed outside of the
recommended operating conditions.
4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

Bootstrap. Connect a capacitor between SW and BS to form a floating supply across the
power switch driver. This capacitor drives the power switch’s gate above the supply voltage.
Ground. GND is the voltage reference for the regulated output voltage. GND requires special
consideration during layout. Isolate GND from the D1 to C1 ground path to prevent inducing
switching current spikes.
Feedback. FB sets the output voltage. Connect FB to the tap of an external resistor divider
from output to GND. The frequency foldback comparator lowers the oscillator frequency when
the FB voltage is below 250mV to prevent current-limit runaway during a short-circuit fault.
On/off. Pull EN above 1.35V to turn the device on. For automatic enable, connect EN to VIN
using a resistor. Ensure that the sink current of EN does not exceed 100μA.
Supply voltage. The MPQ2456 operates from a 4.5V to 50V unregulated input. Requires C1 to
prevent large voltage spikes from appearing at the input.

MPQ2456 – 0.5A, 50V, 1.2MHz, STEP-DOWN CONVERTER IN A TSOT23-6
OPERATION
The MPQ2456 is a current mode buck regulator,
meaning the EA output voltage is proportional
to the peak inductor current.
At the beginning of a cycle, M1 is off. The EA
output voltage is higher than the current sense
amplifier output, and the current comparator’s
output is low. The rising edge of the 1.2MHz
CLK signal sets the RS flip-flop. Its output turns
on M1, connecting SW and the inductor to the
input supply.
The increasing inductor current is sensed and
amplified by the current sense amplifier. Ramp
compensation is summed to the current sense
amplifier output and compared to the error
amplifier output by the PWM comparator. When
the sum of the current sense amplifier output
and the slope compensation signal exceed the
EA output voltage, the RS flip-flop is reset and
M1 is turned off. The external Schottky rectifier
diode (D1) conducts the inductor current.
If the sum of the current sense amplifier output
and the slope compensation signal do not
exceed the EA output for an entire cycle, then
the falling edge of the CLK resets the flip-flop.
MPQ2456 Rev.1.0
2/16/2016
The output of the error amplifier integrates the
voltage difference between the feedback and
the 0.81V bandgap reference. The polarity is
such that a FB voltage lower than 0.81V
increases the EA output voltage. Since the EA
output voltage is proportional to the peak
inductor current, an increase in its voltage also
increases the current delivered to the output.
The MPQ2456 has a 0.6ms internal soft start.
The soft start prevents the converter output
voltage from overshooting during start-up.
When the chip starts up, the internal circuit
generates a soft-start voltage (SS) that ramps
up with a fixed rising rate. When the SS voltage
is below the internal reference (REF), SS
overrides REF, so the error amplifier uses SS
as the reference. When SS exceeds REF, REF
regains control.
When there is an extremely large capacitor at
the output (e.g. 2200µF or larger), the output
voltage rises slower than SS because the
current needed to charge up the large output
capacitor is higher than the chip's max output
current ability. The current limit is kicked during
the entire start-up period until VOUT rises to its
regulated value.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Setting the Output Voltage
The external resistor divider sets the output
voltage (see the Typical Application schematic).
Table 1 lists resistors for common output
voltages. The feedback resistor (R2) sets the
feedback loop bandwidth with the internal
compensation capacitor (see Figure 1). R1 can
be calculated with Equation (1):

Selecting the Input Capacitor
The input capacitor reduces the surge current
drawn from the input supply and the switching
noise from the device. The input capacitor
impedance at the switching frequency should
be less than the input source impedance to
prevent high-frequency switching current from
passing through the input. Ceramic capacitors
with X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended
for their low ESR and small temperature
coefficients. For most applications, a 4.7µF
capacitor is sufficient.
Selecting the Output Capacitor
The output capacitor keeps the output voltage
ripple small and ensures feedback loop stability.
The output capacitor impedance should be low
at the switching frequency. Ceramic capacitors
with X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended
for their low ESR characteristics. For most
applications, a 22µF ceramic capacitor is
sufficient.
Selecting the Inductor
For most applications, use an inductor with a
DC current rating at least 25% higher than the
maximum load current. For best efficiency, the
inductor’s DC resistance should be less than
200mΩ. For most designs, the required
inductance value can be derived from Equation
(2):
L=
VOUT × ( VIN − VOUT )
VIN × ΔIL × f SW
(2)
Where ΔIL is the inductor ripple current.
Choose the inductor ripple current to be 30% of
the maximum load current. The maximum
inductor peak current can be calculated with
Equation (3):
IL(MAX ) = ILOAD +
ΔI L
2
(3)
Under light-load conditions (below 100mA), use
a larger inductance to improve efficiency.

PCB Layout Guide
Efficient PCB layout is critical for stable
operation. For best results, refer to Figure 2 and
follow the guidelines below.
1) Keep the path of the switching current short
and minimize the loop area formed by the
input capacitor, high-side MOSFET, and
Schottky diode.
2)
Keep the connection from the power
ground to the Schottky diode to SW as
short and wide as possible.
3)
Ensure that all feedback connections are
short and direct.
4)
Place the feedback resistors and
compensation components as close to the
chip as possible.
5)
Route SW away from sensitive analog
areas, such as FB.
6)
Connect IN, SW, and especially GND to
large copper areas to cool the chip for
improved thermal performance and longterm reliability. For single layer PCBs, avoid
soldering the exposed pad.

External Bootstrap Diode
An external bootstrap diode may enhance
regulator efficiency under the following
conditions:
z
VOUT = 5V or 3.3V
z
High duty cycle: D =

In these cases, add an external BST diode from
the output of the voltage regulator to BST (see
Figure 3).
