DESCRIPTION
The MPQ8636 is a fully-integrated, highfrequency, synchronous, rectified, step-down,
switch-mode converter. It offers a very compact
solution to achieve 4A/10A/20A output current
over a wide input supply range, with excellent
load and line regulation. The MPQ8636 operates
at high efficiency over a wide output-current–load
range.
The MPQ8636 uses Constant-On-Time (COT)
control to provide a fast transient response and
ease loop stabilization.
An external resistor programs the operating
frequency from 200kHz to 1MHz, and the
frequency keeps nearly constant as input
supply
varies
with
the
feed-forward
compensation.
The default under-voltage lockout threshold is
internally set at 4.1V, but a resistor network on
the enable pin can increase this threshold. The
soft-start pin controls the output-voltage startup
ramp. An open-drain power-good signal
indicates that the output is within nominal
voltage range.

Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) Refer to the section “Configuring the EN Control”.
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
will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go
into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal shutdown circuitry
protects the device from permanent damage.
4) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.
5) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

Description
Enable. Digital input that turns the regulator on or off. Drive EN high to turn on the
regulator; drive it low to turn it off. Connect EN to IN through a pull-up resistor or a
resistive voltage divider for automatic startup. Do not float this pin.
Frequency Set. Require a resistor connected between FREQ and IN to set the switching
frequency. The input voltage and the resistor connected to the FREQ pin determine the
ON time. The connection to the IN pin provides line feed-forward and stabilizes the
frequency during input voltage’s variation.
Feedback. Connect to the tap of an external resistor divider from the output to GND to
set the output voltage. FB is also configured to realize over-voltage protection (OVP) by
monitoring output voltage. MPQ8636-10 and MPQ8636H-10 provide different OVP
mode. Please refer to the section “Over-Voltage-Protection (OVP)”. Place the resistor
divider as close to FB pin as possible. Avoid using vias on the FB traces.
Soft-Start. Connect an external capacitor to program the soft start time for the switch
mode regulator.
Analog Ground. The control circuit reference.
Power-Good. The output is an open drain signal. Requires a 100kΩ typical pull-up
resistor to a DC voltage to indicate HIGH if the output voltage exceeds 91% of the
nominal voltage. Recommend a 10nF capacitor from PG to GND when the PG pull up
resistor is
