MPQ4312
45V, 2A, Low IQ, Synchronous Step-Down
Converter with Frequency Spread Spectrum,
AEC-Q100 Qualified
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MPQ4312 is a configurable-frequency,
synchronous step-down switching converter with
integrated internal high-side and low-side power
MOSFETs (HS-FET and LS-FET, respectively).
It provides up to 2A of highly efficient output
current (IOUT) with current mode control for fast
loop response.
•
The wide 3.3V to 45V input voltage (VIN) range
accommodates a variety of step-down
applications in automotive input environments. A
1.7μA shutdown mode quiescent current allows
the device to be used in battery-powered
applications.
•
High power conversion efficiency across a wide
load range is achieved by scaling down the
switching frequency (fSW) under light-load
conditions to reduce the switching and gate
driver losses. An open-drain power good (PG)
signal indicates whether the output is within 95%
to 105% of its nominal voltage.
Frequency foldback helps prevent inductor
current runaway during start-up. Thermal
shutdown provides reliable, fault-tolerant
operation. High-duty cycle and low-dropout
mode are provided for automotive cold-crank
conditions.
The MPQ4312 is available in a QFN-20
(4mmx4mm) package.

PIN FUNCTIONS
Pin #
Name
Description
1
MODE
AAM or FCCM selection pin. Pull this pin high to make the MPQ4312 operate in forced
continuous conduction mode (FCCM). Pull it low to make it operate in advanced
asynchronous modulation (AAM) mode under light-load conditions. Do not float this pin.
2
SYNC input. Apply a 350kHz to 1000kHz clock signal to this pin to synchronize the
internal oscillator frequency to the external clock. This pin is also used for multi-phase
operation. This pin is internally high impedance. Do not float this pin under any
SYNCIN circumstances. If used, ensure that the external sync clock has adequate pull-up and pulldown capability. It is recommended to place a ≤51kΩ resistor between the pin and GND
in case the external sync clock’s pull-down capability is not strong enough or the pin
enters a high-impedance (Hi-Z) state.
Input supply. VIN supplies power to all of the internal control circuitry, as well as the
power MOSFET, which is connected to SW. To minimize switching spikes, it is
recommended to connect a decoupling capacitor from VIN to ground, as close to VIN as
possible.
3, 12
VIN
4, 5, 10, 11
PGND
6
BST
Bootstrap. BST is the positive power supply for the high-side MOSFET (HS-FET) driver
connected to SW. Connect a bypass capacitor between this BST and SW. See the
Application Information section on page 32 to calculate the size for this capacitor.
7, 8
SW
Switch node. SW is the output of the internal power MOSFET.
9
EN
Enable. Pull this pin below the specified threshold (0.85V) to shut down the chip. Pull it
above the specified threshold (1V) to enable the chip.
13
SYNCO
SYNC output. The SYNCO pin outputs a clock signal that is 180° out of phase with the
internal oscillator signal. It can also output a signal that is opposite to the clock signal
applied at the SYNCIN pin. Float this pin if it is not used.
14
PG
Power good indicator. PG is an open-drain output. Use a pull-up resistor when
connecting PG to a power source. If the output voltage (VOUT) is within 95% to 105% of
the nominal voltage, PG goes high. If VOUT is above 106.5% or below 93% of the nominal
voltage, then PG goes low.
15
NC
Not connected. Float this pin.
16
VCC
17
AGND
Power ground.
Bias supply. This pin supplies power to the internal control circuitry and gate drivers. A
decoupling capacitor connected to ground must be placed close to this pin. See the
Selecting the VCC Capacitor section on page 33 to calculate the size for this capacitor.
Analog ground.
FB
Feedback input. Connect FB to the midpoint of the external resistor feedback divider,
between the output and AGND. This sets the output voltage. The feedback threshold
voltage is 0.815V. Place the resistor divider as close to FB as possible. Avoid placing vias
on the FB traces.
19
SS
Soft-start input. Place a capacitor from SS to GND to set the soft-start time (tSS). The
MPQ4312 sources 13µA from the SS pin to the soft-start capacitor (CSS) during start-up.
As the SS voltage (VSS) rises, the feedback threshold voltage increases to limit inrush
current during start-up.
20
FREQ
Switching frequency selection. Connect a resistor from this pin to ground to set the
switching frequency (fSW). To set the frequency, see the fSW vs. RFREQ curves on page 15.

Notes:
2) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
3) 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 can cause excessive die temperature, and the
regulator may go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal
shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent
damage.
4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB. The values given in this
table are only valid for comparison with other packages and
cannot be used for design purposes. These values were
calculated in accordance with JESD51-7, and simulated on a
specified JEDEC board. They do not represent the
performance obtained in an actual application.
5) Measured on an MPS standard EVB: 9cmx9cm, 2-oz copper,
4-Layer PCB.

MPQ4312 – 45V, 2A, LOW IQ, SYNC STEP-DOWN CONVERTER WITH FSS
OPERATION
The MPQ4312 is a synchronous, step-down
switching converter with integrated internal highside and low-side power MOSFETs (HS-FET
and LS-FET, respectively). The device provides
2A of highly efficient output current (IOUT) with
current mode control.
The MPQ4312 features a wide input voltage (VIN)
range, configurable switching frequency (fSW),
external soft start (SS), and a precise current
limit. The device’s low operational quiescent
current (IQ) makes it well-suited for batterypowered applications.
PWM Control
At moderate to high output currents, the
MPQ4312 operates with fixed-frequency, peak
current control to regulate the output voltage
(VOUT). A PWM cycle is initiated by the internal
clock. At the rising edge of the clock, the HS-FET
turns on. The HS-FET remains on for at least
100ns, until its current reaches the value set by
the internal COMP voltage (VCOMP).
When the HS-FET is off, the LS-FET
immediately turns on, and remains on until the
next cycle starts. The LS-FET remains on for at
least 80ns before the next cycle starts.
If the current in the HS-FET does not reach the
value set by COMP within one PWM period, then
the HS-FET remains on, which saves a turn-off
operation. The HS-FET is forced off after about
10µs, even if it does not reach the value set by
COMP.
Light-Load Operation
Under light-load conditions, the MPQ4312 can
work in two different operation modes based on
the MODE pin.
The MPQ4312 works in forced continuous
conduction mode (FCCM) when the MODE pin
is pulled above 1.8V. In FCCM, the device works
with a fixed frequency from no-load to full-load
conditions. The advantage of FCCM is its
controllable frequency and lower output ripple
under light loads.
The chip works in advanced asynchronous
modulation (AAM) mode when the MODE pin is
pulled below 0.4V. AAM mode optimizes
efficiency under
conditions.
light-load
and
no-load
When AAM mode is enabled, the MPQ4312
enters asynchronous operation while the
inductor current (IL) approaches 0A under light
loads (see Figure 3). If the load is further
decreased or there is no load, VCOMP drops to the
set value, and the MPQ4312 enters AAM mode.

Figure 3: AAM and FCCM
In AAM mode, the internal clock resets when
VCOMP crosses the set value. The crossover time
is used as the benchmark for the next clock.
When the load increases and VCOMP exceeds the
set value, the device operates in discontinuous
conduction mode (DCM) or CCM, both of which
have a constant fSW.
Error Amplifier (EA)
The error amplifier (EA) compares the FB pin
voltage (VFB) to the internal reference voltage
(VREF, typically 0.815V), and outputs a current
proportional to the difference between the two
voltages. IOUT charges the compensation
network to form VCOMP, which controls the
MOSFET current.
During normal operation, the minimum VCOMP is
clamped to 0.9V, and its maximum is clamped to
2V. COMP is internally pulled down to GND
when the device shuts down.
Internal Regulator VCC
The internal 4.9V regulator (VCC) powers most
of the internal circuitry. This regulator uses VIN
as the input and operates in the full VIN range.
When VIN exceeds 4.9V, VCC is in full regulation.
When VIN is below 4.9V, the VCC output
degrades.
Bootstrap (BST) Charging
The bootstrap (BST) capacitor (CBST) is charged
and regulated to about 5V by the dedicated

MPQ4312 – 45V, 2A, LOW IQ, SYNC STEP-DOWN CONVERTER WITH FSS
internal BST regulator. When the voltage
between the BST and SW nodes drops below its
regulated value, a P-channel MOSFET pass
transistor connected from VCC to BST turns on
to charge CBST. The external circuit should
provide enough voltage headroom to facilitate
charging. When the HS-FET is on, BST exceeds
VCC, which means that CBST cannot be charged.
Under higher duty cycles, there is less time for
CBST to charge, so it may not be charged
sufficiently. If the external circuit has an
insufficient voltage (or not enough time) to
charge CBST, use additional external circuitry to
ensure that the BST voltage (VBST) remains in the
normal operation range.
Low-Dropout Mode and BST Refresh
To improve dropout, the MPQ4312 is designed
to operate at close to 100% duty cycle when the
difference between the voltages on the BST and
SW pins exceeds 2.5V. When the voltage from
BST to SW drops below 2.5V, the HS-FET turns
off using an under-voltage lockout (UVLO) circuit.
This allows the LS-FET to conduct and refresh
the charge on CBST. In DCM or pulse-skip mode
(PSM), the LS-FET is forced on to refresh VBST.
Since the supply current sourced from CBST is
low, the HS-FET can remain on for more
switching cycles than are required to refresh the
capacitor. As a result, the effective duty cycle of
the switching regulator is high.
The regulator’s effective duty cycle during
dropout is mainly influenced by the voltage drops
across the power MOSFET, the inductor
resistance, the low-side diode, and the PCB
resistance.
Enable Control
EN is a digital control pin that turns the
MPQ4312 on and off.
Enabled by an External Logic (High/Low)
Signal
When EN is pulled below its falling threshold
voltage (about 0.85V), the chip operates in the
lowest shutdown current mode. Pull EN above its
rising threshold voltage (about 1V) to enable the
part.
Configurable VIN Under-Voltage Lockout
(UVLO)
When VIN is sufficiently high, the chip can be
enabled and disabled via the EN pin. With an
internal current source, the circuit can generate
a configurable VIN UVLO threshold and
hysteresis. Use resistor dividers to set the EN
voltage (see Figure 4).
VIN
REN1
EN
REN2
Figure 4: Enable Divider Circuit
Configurable Frequency and Foldback
The MPQ4312’s oscillating frequency can be
configured via an external resistor (RFREQ)
connected from the FREQ pin to ground, or by a
logic level SYNC signal.
To set fSW, select RFREQ using the fSW vs. RFREQ
curve on page 15. When fSW is set high, it may
fold back at high input voltages to avoid
triggering a minimum on time and forcing the
output out of regulation.
In car-battery applications, fSW is between
350kHz and 1000kHz. Table 1 lists the
recommended RFREQ values for common
frequencies. Higher frequencies can be used in
applications that do not have a critical fSW limit,
as well as applications with a low and stable VIN.

MPQ4312 – 45V, 2A, LOW IQ, SYNC STEP-DOWN CONVERTER WITH FSS
Frequency Spread Spectrum
The MPQ4312 uses a 12kHz modulation
frequency with a fixed 128-step triangular profile
to spread the internal oscillator frequency across
a 20% (±10%) window (see Figure 5). The steps
are fixed and independent of the set oscillator
frequency, which optimizes frequency spread
spectrum (FSS) performance.
128 steps are
fixed
power MOSFETs. When the temperature falls
below the lower threshold (150°C), the chip
starts up again and resumes normal operation.
Current Comparator and Current Limit
The power MOSFET current is accurately
sensed via a current-sense MOSFET. This
current is then fed to the high-speed current
comparator for current mode control. The current
comparator uses this sensed current as one of
its inputs.
fSPAN = 20% x fSW
fMOD = 12kHz
Figure 5: Frequency Spread Spectrum Scheme
Side bands are created by modulating fSW with a
triangle modulation waveform. This reduces the
emission power of the fundamental fSW, as well
as its harmonics, which then reduces peak
electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise.
Soft Start (SS)
Soft start (SS) is implemented to prevent the
converter’s VOUT from overshooting during startup.
When SS begins, an internal current source
begins charging the external soft-start capacitor
(CSS). When the soft-start voltage (VSS) is below
the internal VREF, VSS overrides VREF and the EA
uses VSS as the reference. When VSS exceeds
VREF, the EA uses VREF as the reference.
CSS can be calculated with Equation (1):
CSS (nF) =
t SS (ms) ISS (A)
= 13.5 t SS (ms) (1)
VREF (V)
The SS pins can be used for tracking and
sequencing.
Pre-Biased Start-Up
If VFB exceeds VSS - 150mV during start-up, this
means that the output has a pre-biased voltage.
In the scenario, the HS-FET and LS-FET do not
turn on until VSS exceeds VFB.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown is implemented to protect the
chip from thermal runaway. If the silicon die
temperature exceeds its upper threshold
(typically 170°C), the device shuts down the
When the HS-FET turns on, the comparator is
blanked until the end of the turn-on transition to
mitigate noise. The comparator compares the
MOSFET current to the value set by VCOMP.
When the sensed current exceeds the value set
by COMP, the comparator outputs low to turn off
the HS-FET. The MOSFET’s maximum current
is internally limited cycle by cycle.
Hiccup Protection
If the output is shorted to ground, VOUT may drop
below 70% of its nominal output. If this occurs,
the MPQ4312 shuts down momentarily and
begins discharging CSS. The device restarts with
a full soft start once CSS is fully discharged. This
process is repeated until the fault condition is
removed.
Start-Up and Shutdown
If both VIN and EN exceed their respective
thresholds, the chip starts. The reference block
starts first, generating a stable reference voltage
and currents, and then the internal regulator is
enabled. The regulator provides a stable supply
for the remaining circuitries.
While the internal supply rail is up, an internal
timer holds the power MOSFET off for about
50µs to blank the start-up glitches. When the
soft-start block is enabled, the SS output
remains low to ensure that the remaining
circuitries are ready before slowly ramping up.
Three events can shut down the chip: EN going
low, VIN going low, and thermal shutdown. When
shutdown is initiated, the signaling path is first
blocked to avoid any fault triggering. Next, VCOMP
and the internal supply rail are pulled down. The
floating driver is not subject to this shutdown
command, but its charging path is disabled.

Power Good (PG) Output
The MPQ4312 includes an open-drain power
good (PG) output. If this function is used, a pullup resistor to power source is required. If VOUT is
within 95% to 105% of the nominal voltage, then
the PG pin goes high. If VOUT is above 106.5% or
below 93.5% of the nominal voltage, then PG
goes low
SYNCIN and SYNCO
fSW can be synchronized to the rising edge of the
clock signal applied at SYNCIN. The
recommended SYNCIN frequency range is
350kHz to 1000kHz. Ensure that SYNCIN’s off
time is shorter than the internal oscillator period.
Otherwise, the internal clock may turn on the HSFET before the rising edge of SYNCIN.
If the pulse width is too short, a clear rising and
falling edge may not be seen due to the parasitic
capacitance. It is recommended to make the
pulse longer than 100ns.
When using SYNCIN in AAM mode, drive
SYNCIN below its specified threshold (about
0.4V), or float the SYNCIN pin before starting up
the MPQ4312. Then add the external SYNCIN
clock. If using this function, connect a resistor
(10kΩ to 51kΩ) from SYNCIN to GND and do not
float SYNCIN.
The SYNCO pin provides a default 180° phaseshifted clock for the internal oscillator. If there is
no external SYNCIN clock, SYNCO can provide
a clock that is phase-shifted 180° compared to
the internal clock.
There is no limit for the SYNCIN pulse width, but
there is always parasitic capacitance on the pad.

The RMS current in the input capacitor (ICIN) can
be estimated with Equation (3):
Selecting the Input Capacitor
The step-down converter has a discontinuous
input current, and requires a capacitor to supply
AC current to the converter while maintaining the
DC input voltage. For the best performance, use
low-ESR capacitors. Ceramic capacitors with
X5R or X7R dielectrics are highly recommended
due to their low ESR and small temperature
coefficients.
For most applications, a 4.7µF to 10µF capacitor
is sufficient. It is strongly recommended to use
another, lower-value capacitor (e.g. 0.1µF) with
a small package size (0603) to absorb highfrequency switching noise. Place the smaller
capacitor as close to VIN and GND as possible.
Since the input capacitor (CIN) absorbs the input
switching current, it requires an adequate ripple
current rating.
The input capacitor can be electrolytic, tantalum,
or ceramic. When using electrolytic or tantalum
capacitors, place a small, high-quality ceramic
capacitor (e.g. 0.1μF) as close to the device as
possible.
When using ceramic capacitors, ensure that they
have enough capacitance to provide a sufficient
charge to prevent an excessive voltage ripple at
the input. The input voltage ripple (∆VIN) caused
by the capacitance can be estimated with
Equation (5):

Selecting the Output Capacitor
The output capacitor maintains the DC output
voltage. Use ceramic, tantalum, or low-ESR
electrolytic capacitors. For the best results, use
low-ESR capacitors to keep the output voltage
ripple low. The output voltage ripple (∆VOUT) can
be calculated with Equation (6):

Where L is the inductance, and RESR is the

For ceramic capacitors, the capacitance
dominates the impedance at the switching
frequency and causes the majority of the output
voltage ripple.

Selecting the Inductor
A 1µH to 10µH inductor with a DC current rating
at least 25% greater than the maximum load
current is recommended for most applications.
For higher efficiency, choose an inductor with a
lower DC resistance. A larger-value inductor
results in less ripple current and a lower output
ripple voltage; however, it also has a larger
physical size, higher series resistance, and lower
saturation current. A good rule for determining
the inductance is to allow the inductor ripple
current to be approximately 30% of the
maximum load current. The inductance (L) can
then be calculated with Equation (9):
(9)
VIN_UVLO_RI SING = (1+
RUP
) VEN_RISING (11)
RDOWN
VIN_UVLO_FA LLING = (1+
RUP
) VEN_FALLING (12)
RDOWN
Where VEN_RISING is 1V, and VEN_FALLING is 0.85V.
Selecting the External BST Diode and
Resistor
An external BST diode can enhance the
regulator’s efficiency when the duty cycle is high.
A power supply between 2.5V and 5V can be
used to power the external bootstrap diode. It is
recommended to make VCC or VOUT the power
supply in the circuit (see Figure 8).

The characteristics of the output capacitor also
affect the stability of the regulation system. The

VIN Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) Setting
The MPQ4312 has an internal, fixed undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold. The rising
threshold is 3V, and the falling threshold is about
2.7V. For the applications that require a higher
UVLO point, an external resistor divider between

Figure 8: Optional External Bootstrap Diode to
Enhance Efficiency
The recommended external BST diode is
IN4148, and the recommended CBST value is
between 0.1µF and 1μF. Connect a resistor
(RBST) in series with CBST to reduce the SW rising
rate and voltage spikes. This improves EMI
performance and reduces voltage stress at
higher input voltages. A higher resistance
reduces SW spikes but compromises efficiency,
so an appropriate tradeoff for the application
must be made. It is recommended for RBST to be
≤20Ω.

Selecting the VCC Capacitor
The VCC capacitor should be 10 times greater
than the boost capacitor. A VCC capacitor above
68µF (nominal) is not recommended.
PCB Layout Guidelines (9)
Efficient PCB layout, is critical for stable
operation. A 4-layer layout is strongly
recommended to achieve better thermal
performance. For the best results, refer to Figure
9 and follow the guidelines below:
1.
Place symmetric input capacitors as close to
the VIN and GND pins as possible.
2.
Connect a large ground plane directly to
PGND.
3.
Add vias near PGND if the bottom layer is a
ground plane.
4.
Ensure that the high-current paths at GND
and VIN have short, direct, and wide traces.
5.
Place the ceramic input capacitor, especially
the small package size (0603) input bypass
capacitor, as close to VIN and PGND as
possible to minimize high-frequency noise.
6.
Keep the connection of the input capacitor
and VIN as short and wide as possible.
7.
Place the VCC capacitor as close to the
VCC and GND pins as possible.
8.
Route SW and BST away from sensitive
analog areas, such as FB.
9.
Place the feedback resistors close to the
chip to ensure that the trace that connects to
FB is as short as possible.

planes to the internal layers.
