MPQ4418A
0.6A, 36V, High-Efficiency, Low-RDS(ON),
Synchronous Step-Down Converter,
AEC-Q100 Qualified
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The
MPQ4418A
is
a
high-efficiency,
synchronous, rectified, switch-mode, step-down
converter with built-in internal power MOSFETs.
It can achieve up to 0.6A of continuous output
current (IOUT) across a wide input voltage (VIN)
range (4V to 36V), with excellent load and line
regulation.
•
Synchronous mode offers high efficiency across
the entire IOUT range. Current control mode
provides fast transient response and improves
loop stabilization.
Full protection features include over-current
protection (OCP) and thermal shutdown.
The MPQ4418A offers a compact solution that
requires a minimal number of readily available,
standard, external components, and is available
in a small TSOT23-8 package.

Name
Description
Power good (PG) output. The PG pin is an open-drain output. If the output voltage (VOUT)
exceeds 90% of the nominal voltage, this pin is pulled high.
Supply voltage. The MPQ4418A operates from a 4V to 36V input rail. An input capacitor
IN
(C1) is required to decouple the input rail. To minimize switching spikes, connect C1 to GND
to decouple the input rail. Place C1 as close to IN as possible.
SW
Switch output. The SW pin is the internal power switch’s output.
Reference system ground. The GND pin is critical to successful PCB layout. GND is the
GND
reference ground of the regulated VOUT; connect the GND pin to system ground using
copper traces and vias.
Bootstrap. Connect a capacitor between SW and BST to form a floating supply across the
BST
high-side MOSFET (HS-FET) driver. To reduce SW voltage spikes, it is recommended to
place a 20Ω resistor between SW and BST.
Enable/synchronous. To turn on the MPQ4418A, pull the EN/SYNC pin high. To configure
EN/SYNC
the switching frequency (fSW), apply an external clock to EN/SYNC.
Bias supply. Decouple VCC with a 0.1μF to 0.22μF capacitor, which must not exceed
VCC
0.22μF.
Feedback. To set VOUT, connect FB to the tap of an external resistor divider between the
output and GND. When the FB voltage (VFB) drops below 660mV, the frequency foldback
FB
comparator decreases the oscillator frequency to prevent current limit runaway during a
short-circuit fault.

Notes:
1) Absolute maximum ratings are rated under room temperature,
unless otherwise noted. Exceeding these ratings may damage
the device.
2) For details on the EN pin’s absolute maximum rating, see the
Enable/Synchronous (EN/SYNC) Control section on page 11.
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, which may
cause the device to 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.
