MPQ4314
45V, 4A, Low-IQ, Synchronous Step-Down
Converter with Frequency Spread Spectrum,
AEC-Q100 Qualified
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MPQ4314 is a configurable-frequency,
synchronous, step-down switching regulator with
integrated internal high-side and low-side power
MOSFETs (HS-FET and LS-FET, respectively).
It provides up to 4A 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 MPQ4314 is available in a QFN-20
(4mmx4mm) package.

PIN FUNCTIONS
Pin #
Name
Description
1
MODE
AAM or FCCM select pin. Pull this pin high to make the MPQ4314 operate in forced
continuous conduction mode (FCCM). Pull it low to make the MPQ4314 operate in
advanced asynchronous modulation (AAM) mode under light loads. Do not float this pin.
2
SYNC input. Apply a 350kHz to 1000kHz clock signal to the SYNCIN pin to synchronize
the internal oscillator frequency to the external clock. This pin has an internal high
impedance. Do not float this pin. If using the SYNCIN pin, ensure that the external SYNC
SYNCIN
clock has adequate pull-up and pull-down capability. It is recommended to place a ≤51kΩ
resistor between the SYNCIN pin and GND if the external SYNC clock’s pull-down
capability is not sufficient, or if 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 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 pin and SW. See the
Application Information section on page 33 to calculate the size of this capacitor.
7, 8
SW
Switch node. SW is the output of the internal power MOSFET.
9
EN
Enable. Pull the EN pin below the specified threshold (0.85V) to shut down the chip. Pull
the EN pin above the specified threshold (1V) to enable the chip.
Power ground.
13
SYNC output. This pin can output a clock signal 180° out-of-phase with the internal
SYNCO oscillator signal, or opposite of the clock signal applied at the SYNCIN pin. Float this pin if
it is not used.
14
PG
Power good (PG) indicator. This pin has an open-drain output. A pull-up resistor
connected to the power source is required if this pin is used. PG goes high if the output
voltage (VOUT) is within 95% to 105% of the nominal voltage. PG goes low if VOUT is above
106.5% or below 93.5% of the nominal voltage.
15
NC
Not connected. Float this pin.
16
VCC
17
AGND
18
FB
Feedback input. To set VOUT, connect FB to the center point of the external resistor divider
between the output and AGND. The feedback threshold voltage (VFB) is 0.815V. Place the
resistor divider as close to FB as possible. Avoid placing vias on the FB traces.
19
SS
Soft start (SS) input. Place a capacitor from SS to GND to set the soft-start time (tSS).
The MPQ4314 sources 13μA from SS to the soft-start capacitor (CSS) at start-up. As the
SS voltage (VSS) rises, VFB increases to limit the inrush current during start-up.
20
FREQ
Switching frequency configuration. Connect a resistor from this pin to ground to set the
switching frequency. To set the frequency, see the fSW vs. RFREQ curve on page 15.
Bias supply. This pin supplies power to the internal control circuit and gate drivers. A
decoupling capacitor to ground must be placed close to this pin. See the Application
Information section on page 33 to calculate the size of this capacitor.
Analog ground.

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, 4-layer (9cmx9cm) PCB.

MPQ4314 – 45V, 4A, LOW IQ, SYNC STEP-DOWN CONVERTER WITH FSS, AEC-Q100
OPERATION
The MPQ4314 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
4A of highly efficient output current (IOUT) with
current mode control.
The MPQ4314 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
MPQ4314 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, and remains on until its current reaches
the value set by the internal COMP voltage
(VCOMP). The HS-FET stays on for at least 100ns.
When the HS-FET is off, the LS-FET
immediately turns on, and stays 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 if it stays on
for about 10µs, even if it does not reach the value
set by COMP.
Light-Load Operation
Under light-load conditions, the MPQ4314 can
work in two different operation modes based on
the MODE pin.
The MPQ4314 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 MPQ4314 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 MPQ4314
enters asynchronous operation while the
inductor current (IL) approaches 0A under light
loads (see Figure 6). If the load is further
decreased or there is no load, VCOMP drops to the
set value, and the MPQ4314 enters AAM mode.

Figure 6: AAM Mode and FCCM
In AAM mode, the internal clock resets when
VCOMP crosses the set value. The crossover time
is used as a 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, which both
have a constant fSW.
Error Amplifier (EA)
The error amplifier (EA) compares the FB pin
voltage (VFB) to the internal reference voltage
(VREF, about 0.815V), and outputs a current that
is proportional to the difference between the
voltages. This current charges the compensation
network to form VCOMP, which controls the power
MOSFET current.
During normal operation, the minimum VCOMP is
clamped to 0.9V, and its maximum is clamped to
2.0V. 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
internal BST regulator. When the voltage

MPQ4314 – 45V, 4A, LOW IQ, SYNC STEP-DOWN CONVERTER WITH FSS, AEC-Q100
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 bootstrap voltage (VBST) remains
in the normal operation range.
Low-Dropout Mode and BST Refresh
To improve dropout, the MPQ4314 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 drop
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 regulator
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 its
lowest shutdown current mode. Force EN above
its rising threshold voltage (about 1V) to turn the
MPQ4314 on.
internal current source, the circuit can generate
a configurable VIN UVLO threshold and
hysteresis. Use resistor dividers to set the EN
voltage (see Figure 7).

Configurable Switching Frequency (fSW) and
Foldback
The MPQ4314’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. Note that 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.
The fSW for car battery applications 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 switching
frequency limit, as well as applications with a
low, stable VIN.

MPQ4314 – 45V, 4A, LOW IQ, SYNC STEP-DOWN CONVERTER WITH FSS, AEC-Q100
Frequency Spread Spectrum
The MPQ4314 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 8). The steps
are fixed and independent of the set oscillator
frequency, which optimizes the frequency
spread spectrum (FSS) performance.
Steps Vary with
Oscillator
Frequency (Max
128 Steps)
fSPAN = 20% of fSW
fMOD = 12k
Figure 8: 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 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 reference voltage (VREF), VSS
overrides VREF, so the EA uses VSS as the
reference. When VSS exceeds VREF, the EA uses
VREF as the reference.
CSS can be calculated using Equation (1):
CSS (nF) =
t SS (ms) ISS (μA)
= 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
power MOSFETs. Once the temperature falls
below the lower threshold (150°C), the chip is reenabled and resumes normal operation.
Current Comparator and Current Limit
The power MOSFET’s 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.
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
power MOSFET’s 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 internal power
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 MPQ4314 shuts down momentarily and
begins discharging CSS. The device restarts with
a full soft start when CSS is fully discharged. This
process repeats until the fault is removed.
Start-Up and Shutdown
If both VIN and EN exceed their appropriate
thresholds, the chip starts up. 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 keeps the power MOSFET off for about
50µs to blank any start-up glitches. When the SS
block is enabled, the SS output stays 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 MPQ4314 includes an open-drain power
good (PG) output. If using the PG pin, connect it
to a power source using a pull-up resistor. PG
goes high if VOUT is within 95% to 105% of the
nominal voltage. PG goes low if VOUT is above
106.5% or below 93.5% of the nominal voltage.
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.
There is no limit for the SYNCIN pulse width, but
there is always parasitic capacitance on the pad.
If the pulse width is too short, a clear rising and
falling edge may not be achieved 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 MPQ4314. Then add the external SYNCIN
clock. Connect a resistor from SYNCIN to GND
to avoid floating SYNCIN when using this
function. It recommended to use a 10kΩ to 51kΩ
resistor.
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.

For most applications, use a 4.7µF to 10µF
capacitor. 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. Estimate the RMS current in the
input capacitor (ICIN) with Equation (3):

by the capacitance can be estimated with

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.

The input capacitor can be electrolytic, tantalum,

possible.

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
equivalent series resistance (ESR) value of the
output capacitor.
For ceramic capacitors, the capacitance
dominates the impedance at the switching
frequency and causes the majority of the output
voltage ripple. For simplification, the output
voltage ripple (∆VOUT) can be estimated with

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, also has a larger
physical size, higher series resistance, and lower
saturation current. A good rule to determine the
inductance is to allow the inductor ripple current
to be approximately 30% of the maximum load
current. The inductance (L) can be estimated
with Equation (9):

VIN Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) Setting
The MPQ4314 has an internal fixed undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold. The rising
threshold is 3V, and the falling threshold is about
2.7V. For applications that require a higher
UVLO point, place an external resistor divider
between VIN and EN to raise the equivalent
UVLO threshold (see Figure 10).
Figure 10: Adjustable UVLO Using EN Divider
The UVLO rising and falling thresholds can be
calculated with Equation (11) and Equation (12),
respectively:
VIN _ UVLO _ RISING = (1 +
RUP
) VEN _ RISING (11)
RDOWN
VIN _ UVLO _ FALLING = (1 +
RUP

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 BST diode. It is
recommended to make VCC or VOUT the power
supply in the circuit (see Figure 11).

Figure 11: 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 enhances EMI
performance and reduces voltage stress at
higher input voltages. A higher resistance
reduces SW spikes but compromises efficiency.
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, especially input capacitor
placement, is critical for stable operation. A 4layer layout is strongly recommended to achieve
better thermal performance. For the best results,
refer to Figure 12 and follow the guidelines below:
1.
Place symmetric input capacitors as close to
VIN and GND as possible.
2.
Connect a large copper plane directly to
PGND.
3.
If the bottom layer is a ground plane, add
vias near PGND.
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 between the input
capacitor and VIN as short and wide as
possible.
7.
Place the VCC capacitor as close to VCC
and GND 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 connected to
FB is as short as possible.

Mid-Layer 1
Mid-Layer 2
10. Use multiple vias to connect the power
planes to the internal layers.
Note:
9) The recommended PCB layout is based on Figure 13 on page
35.
