MPQ2459
The Future of Analog IC Technology
0.5A, 55V, 480KHz, Step-Down Converter
in a TSOT23-6 Package
AEC-Q100 Qualified
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MPQ2459 is a monolithic, step-down,
switch-mode converter with a built-in power
MOSFET. It achieves a 0.5A peak output
current over a wide input-supply range with
excellent load and line regulation. Current mode
operation provides a fast transient response
and eases loop stabilization. Fault protections
include cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal
shutdown.
The MPQ2459 requires a minimal number of
readily-available, standard, external components.
The MPQ2459 is available in a TSOT23-6
package.

Notes:
1) Absolute maximum are rated under room temperature unless
otherwise noted. 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
will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will 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.

SW
Bootstrap. Connect a capacitor between SW and BST to form a floating supply across the
power-switch driver. This capacitor drives the power switch’s gate above the supply voltage.
Ground. Voltage reference for the regulated, output voltage. Requires special layout
considerations. Place this node outside of the D1-to-C1 ground path to prevent currentswitching spikes from introducing voltage noise.
Feedback. Sets the output voltage through an external resistor divider from the output to GND.
To prevent current-limit runaway during a short-circuit fault, the frequency foldback comparator
lowers the oscillator frequency when VFB is below 250mV.
ON/OFF Control. Pull EN above 1.2V to turn the device ON. For automatic enable, connect a
100kΩ resistor between this pin and IN.
Supply Voltage. The MPQ2459 operates from a 4.5V-to-55V unregulated input. Requires C1 to
prevent large voltage spikes from appearing at the input.
Switch Output.

MPQ2459 –INDUSTRIAL GRADE, 55V, 480KHz, STEP-DOWN CONVERTER, AEC-Q100 QUALIFIED
OPERATION
The MPQ2459 is a current-mode buck regulator
— the EA output voltage is proportional to the
peak-inductor current.
At the beginning of a cycle, M1 is OFF. The EA
output voltage exceeds the current-senseamplifier output, and the current comparator’s
output is LOW. The rising edge of the 480kHz
CLK signal sets the RS flip-flop. The flip-flip’s
output turns on M1 to connect the SW pin and
inductor to the input supply.
The current-sense amplifier senses and
amplifies the rising inductor current. The PWM
comparator takes the sum of the current-sense
amplifier’s output and the ramp compensator
and the error amplifier output as its inputs.
When the sum of the current sense amplifier’s
output and the ramp-compensation signal
exceeds the EA output voltage, the RS flip-flop
resets and M1 turns OFF. The external
Schottky rectifier diode (D1) conducts the
inductor current.
If the sum of the current sense amplifier’s
output and the slope compensation signal does
not exceed the EA output for a whole cycle,
then the falling edge of the CLK resets the flipflop.
The EA output integrates the voltage difference
between the feedback and the 0.81V bandgap
reference. When VFB
