The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
The MP4350 is a high frequency step-down
switching regulator with an integrated internal
high-side high voltage power MOSFET. It
provides 2.5A output with current mode control
for fast loop response and easy compensation.
The wide 4.5V to 20V input range
accommodates a variety of step-down
applications, including those in an automotive
input environment. A 100µA operational
quiescent current allows use in battery-powered
applications.
High power conversion efficiency over a wide
load range is achieved by scaling down the
switching frequency at light load condition to
reduce the switching and gate driving losses.
The frequency foldback helps prevent inductor
current runaway during startup and thermal
shutdown provides reliable, fault tolerant
operation.
By switching at 4MHz, the MP4350 is able to
prevent switching related EMI (Electromagnetic
Interference) noise problems, such as those
found in AM radio and ADSL applications.
The MP4350 is available in a small 3mm x 3mm
10-pin QFN package.

PIN FUNCTIONS
Pin # Name Description
1, 2 SW
Switch Node. This is the output from the high-side switch. A low forward drop Schottky diode to
ground is required. The diode must be close to the SW pins to reduce switching spikes.
3 EN
Enable Input. Pulling this pin below the specified threshold shuts the chip down. Pulling it up
above the specified threshold or leaving it floating enables the chip.
4 COMP
Compensation. This node is the output of the error amplifier. Control loop frequency
compensation is applied to this pin.
5 FB
Feedback. This is the input to the error amplifier. An external resistive divider connected
between the output and GND which scales down V
OUT
equal to the internal +0.8V reference.
6 GND
Ground. It should be connected as close as possible to the output capacitor to shorten the high
current switch paths.
7 FREQ
Switching Frequency Program Input. Connect a resistor from this pin to ground to set the
switching frequency.
8, 9 VIN
Input Supply. This supplies power to all the internal control circuitry, including the bootstrap
regulator and the high-side switch. A decoupling capacitor to ground must be placed close to
this pin to minimize switching spikes.
10 BST
Bootstrap. This is the positive power supply for the internal floating high-side MOSFET driver.
Connect a bypass capacitor between this pin and SW pin.
