DESCRIPTION  
The MPQ8632 is a fully integrated high  
frequency synchronous rectified step-down  
switch mode converter. It offers a very compact  
solution to achieve 4A/6A/8A/10A/12A/15A/20A  
output current over a wide input supply range  
with excellent load and line regulation.  
The MPQ8632 uses Constant-On-Time (COT)  
control mode to provide fast transient response  
and ease loop stabilization.  
Programmable Switching Frequency from  
200kHz to 1MHz  
Non-latch OCP, OVP and Thermal  
Shutdown Protection  
An external resistor programs the operating  
frequency from 200kHz to 1MHz and the  
frequency keeps nearly constant as input  
supply  
varies  
with  
the  
feedforward  
Output Adjustable from 0.611V to 13V  
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.  
APPLICATIONS  
Telecom and Networking Systems  
Base Stations  
Servers  
Personal Video Recorders  
Flat Panel Television and Monitors  
Distributed Power Systems  
It has fully integrated protection features that  
include over-current protection, over-voltage  
protection and thermal shutdown.  
All MPS parts are lead-free and adhere to the RoHS directive. For MPS green  
status, please visit MPS website under Products, Quality Assurance page.

The MPQ8632 requires a minimal number of  
readily available standard external components  
and is available in a 16-Pin QFN 3mm×4mm or  
a 29-Pin QFN 5mm×4mm package.

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-to-  
ambient 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.

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.  
1
EN  
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.  
2
3
FREQ  
FB  
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. MPQ8632 and MPQ8632H 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.  
4
5
SS  
AGND  
Analog ground. The control circuit reference.  
Power Good. The output is an open drain signal. Require a pull-up resistor to a DC  
voltage to indicate high if the output voltage exceeds 91% of the nominal voltage.  
There is a delay from FB ≥ 91% to PG goes high.  
6
PG  
Internal 4.8V LDO Output. Power the driver and control circuits. 5V external bias  
can disable the internal LDO. Decouple with a 1µF ceramic capacitor as close to  
the pin as possible. For best results, use X7R or X5R dielectric ceramic capacitors  
for their stable temperature characteristics.  
7
VCC  
BST  
IN  
Bootstrap. Require a capacitor connected between SW and BST pins to form a  
floating supply across the high-side switch driver.  
8
Supply Voltage. Supply power to the internal MOSFET and regulator. The  
MPQ8632 operates from a +2.5V to +18V input rail with 5V external bias and a  
+4.5V to +18V input rail with internal bias. Require an input decoupling capacitor.  
Connect using wide PCB traces and multiple vias.  
9, 14  
10-13  
System Ground. Reference ground of the regulated output voltage. PCB layout  
requires extra care. Connect using wide PCB traces.  
PGND  
Switch Output. Connect to the inductor and bootstrap capacitor. The high-side  
switch drives the pin up to the VIN during the PWM duty cycles ON time. The  
inductor current drives the SW pin negative during the OFF-time. The low-side  
switchs ON-resistance and the internal Schottky diode clamp the negative voltage.  
Connect using wide PCB traces.

interval determined by the one- shot on-timer as  
per equation 1. When the HS-FET turns off, the  
LS-FET turns on until the next period.  
The MPQ8632 is a fully integrated synchronous  
rectified step-down switch mode converter. It  
uses Constant-on-time (COT) control to provide a  
fast transient response and ease loop  
stabilization.  
In CCM operation, the switching frequency is  
fairly constant and is also called PWM mode.  
Light-Load Operation  
As the load decreases, the inductor current  
decreases too. When the inductor current  
touches zero, the operation is transited from  
At the beginning of each cycle, the high-side  
MOSFET (HS-FET) turns ON when the feedback  
voltage (VFB) drops below the reference voltage  
(VREF), which indicates an insufficient output  
voltage. The input voltage and the frequency-set  
resistor determine the ON period as follows:  
continuous-conduction-mode  
(CCM)  
to  
discontinuous-conduction-mode (DCM).  
Figure 3 shows the light load operation. When  
VFB drops below VREF, HS-FET turns on for a  
fixed interval determined by the one- shot on-  
timer as per equation 1. When the HS-FET turns  
off, the LS-FET turns on until the inductor current  
reaches zero. In DCM operation, the VFB does  
not reach VREF when the inductor current is  
approaching zero. The LS-FET driver turns into  
tri-state (high Z) whenever the inductor current  
reaches zero. A current modulator takes over the  
control of LS-FET and limits the inductor current  
less than -1mA. Hence, the output capacitors  
discharge slowly to GND through LS-FET. As a  
result, this mode improves greatly the light load  
efficiency. At light load condition, the HS-FET  
does not turns ON as frequently as at heavy load  
condition. This is called skip mode.

TON(ns)   
V (V) 0.4  
IN  
After the ON period elapses, the HS-FET turns  
off. It turns ON again when VFB drops below VREF  
.
By repeating this operation, the converter  
regulates the output voltage. The integrated low-  
side MOSFET (LS-FET) turns on when the HS-  
FET is OFF to minimize the conduction loss.  
There is a dead short (or shoot-through)  
between input and GND if both HS-FET and LS-  
FET turn on at the same time. A dead-time (DT)  
internally generated between HS-FET OFF and  
LS-FETON, or LS-FET OFF and HS-FET ON  
avoids shoot-through.  
Heavy-Load Operation  
At light load or no load condition, the output  
drops very slowly and the MPQ8632 reduces the  
switching frequency naturally and then achieves  
high efficiency at light load.

current is always above zero amps, it is called

load condition, the current modulator regulates  
the operating period that becomes shorter. The  
HS-FET turns ON more frequently. Hence, the  
switching frequency increases correspondingly.  
The output current reaches the critical level when  
the current modulator time decreases to zero.  
Determine the critical output current level as  
follows:  
Jitter and FB Ramp Slope  
Figure 4 and Figure 5 show jitter occurring in  
both PWM mode and skip mode. When there is  
noise on the VFB descending slope, the HS-FET  
ON time deviates from its intended point and  
produces jitter and influences system stability.  
The VFB ripples slope steepness dominates the  
noise immunity though its magnitude has no  
direct effect.

Where FSW is the switching frequency.  
The IC turns into PWM mode once the output  
current exceeds the critical level. After that, the  
switching frequency stays fairly constant over the  
output current range.  
Switching Frequency  
Selecting the switching frequency requires  
trading off between efficiency and component  
size. Low frequency operation increases  
efficiency by reducing MOSFET switching losses,  
but requires larger inductor and capacitor values  
to minimize the output voltage ripple.

For MPQ8632set the on time using the FREQ  
pin to set the frequency for steady state  
operation at CCM.  
The MPQ8632 uses adaptive constant-on-time  
(COT) control, though the IC lacks a dedicated  
oscillator. Connect the FREQ pin to the IN pin  
through the resistor (RFREQ) so that the input  
voltage is feed-forwarded to the one-shot on-time  
timer. When operating in steady state at CCM,  
the duty ratio stays at VOUT/VIN, so the switching  
frequency is fairly constant over the input voltage  
range. Set the switching frequency as follows:

reasonable that the jitter in skip mode is larger  
A typical pull-up resistor is 100kΩ.  
To achieve less jitter during ultra light load  
condition, reduce R1 and R2, but that will  
decrease the light load efficiency.  
External VCC bias  
An external 5V VCC bias can disable the internal  
LDO, in this case, Vin can be as low as 2.5V.  
Configuring the EN Control  
Soft Start  
The regulator turns on when En goes high;  
conversely it turns off when EN goes low. Do not  
float the pin.  
The MPQ8632 employs a soft start (SS)  
mechanism to ensure a smooth output during  
power-up. When the EN pin goes high, an  
internal current source (20μA) charges the SS  
capacitor. The SS capacitor voltage takes over  
the REF voltage to the PWM comparator. The  
output voltage smoothly ramps up with the SS  
voltage. Once the SS voltage reaches the REF  
voltage, it continues ramping up while VREF takes  
over the PWM comparator. At this point, soft start  
finishes and the device enters steady state  
operation.  
For automatic start-up, pull the EN pin up to input  
voltage through a resistive voltage divider.  
Choose the values of the pull-up resistor (RUP  
from the IN pin to the EN pin) and the pull-down  
resistor (RDOWN from the EN pin to GND) to  
determine the automatic start-up voltage:

the VIN-START is set at 4.44V.

To reduce noise, add a 10nF ceramic capacitor

VREF

   
An internal zener diode on the EN pin clamps the  
EN pin voltage to prevent run away. The  
maximum pull up current assuming the worst  
case 6V for the internal zener clamp should be  
less than 1mA.  
If the output capacitors are large, then avoid  
setting a short SS time or risk hitting the current  
limit during SS. Use a minimum value of 4.7nF if  
the output capacitance value exceeds 330μF.  
Pre-Bias Startup  
Therefore, when driving EN with an external logic  
signal, use an EN voltage less than 6V. When  
connecting EN to IN through a pull-up resistor or  
a resistive voltage divider, select a resistance  
that ensures a maximum pull-up current less than  
1mA.  
The MPQ8632 has been designed for monotonic  
startup into pre-biased loads. If the output is pre-  
biased to a certain voltage during startup, the IC  
will disable switching for both high-side and low-  
side switches until the voltage on the soft-start  
capacitor exceeds the sensed output voltage at  
the FB pin.  
If using a resistive voltage divider and VIN  
exceeds 6V, then the minimum resistance for the  
pull-up resistor RUP should meet:  
Power Good (PG)  
The MPQ8632 has a power-good (PG) output.  
The PG pin is the open drain of a MOSFET.  
Connect it to VCC or some other voltage source  
that measures less than 5.5V through a pull-up  
resistor (typically 100k). After applying the input  
voltage, the MOSFET turns on so that the PG pin  
is pulled to GND before the SS is ready. After the  
FB voltage reaches 91% of the REF voltage, the  
PG pin is pulled high after a 2.5ms delay.

soft-start. If the over-current condition still holds  
after soft-start ends, the device repeats this  
operation cycle until the over-current conditions  
disappear and then output rises back to  
regulation level. OCP offers non-latch protection.  
If the input supply fails to power the MPQ8632,  
the PG pin is also pulled low even though this pin  
is tied to an external DC source through a pull-up  
resistor (typically 100kΩ).  
Low-Side Negative Current Limit: If the sensed  
LS-FET negative current exceeds the negative  
current limit, the LS-FET turns off immediately  
and stays OFF for the remainder of the OFF  
period. In this situation, both MOSFETs are OFF  
until the end of a fixed interval. The HS-FET body  
diode conducts the inductor current for the fixed  
time.  
Over-Current Protection (OCP)  
The MPQ8632 features three current limit levels  
for over-current conditions: high-side peak  
current limit, low-side valley current limit and low-  
side negative current limit.  
However, the OCP operation mechanism of  
MPQ8632GL-10 is different from other parts in  
this family.  
Over -Voltage Protection (OVP)  
The MPQ8632 monitors the output voltage using  
the FB pin connected to the tap of a resistor  
divider to detect over-voltage. MPQ8632 and  
MPQ8632H provide non-latch and latch off OVP  
mode as showed in Table 1.  
For MPQ8632GLE-10:  
High-Side Peak Current Limit: The part has a  
cycle-by-cycle over-current limiting function. The  
device monitors the inductor current during the  
HS-FET ON state. When the sensed inductor  
current hits the peak current limit, the output  
over-current comparator goes high, the device  
enters OCP mode immediately and turns off the  
HS-FET and turns on the LS-FET.

MPQ8632-20  
MPQ8632-10  
Low-Side Valley Current Limit: The device also  
monitors the inductor current during the LS-FET  
ON state. When ILIM=1 and at the end of the  
OFF time, the LS-FET sourcing current is  
compared to the internal positive-valleycurrent  
limit. If the valley current limit is less than the LS-  
FET sourcing current, the HS-FET remains OFF  
and the LS-FET remains ON for the next ON time.  
When the LS-FET sourcing current drops below  
the valley current limit, the HS-FET turns on  
again.  
For MPQ8632GLE-10:  
If the FB voltage exceeds the nominal REF  
voltage but remains lower than 120% of the REF  
voltage (0.611V), both MOSFETs are off.  
If the FB voltage exceeds 120% of the REF  
voltage but remains below 130%, the LS-FET  
turns on while the HS-FET remains off. The LS-  
FET remains on until the FB voltage drops below  
110% of the REF voltage or the low-side  
negative current limit is hit.  
For other parts except MPQ8632GLE-10:  
These parts enter OCP mode if only the LS-FET  
sourcing valley current exceeds the valley current  
limit. Once the OCP is triggered, the LS-FET  
keeps ON state until the LS-FET sourcing valley  
current is less than the valley current limit. And  
then the LS-FET turns off, the HS-FET turns on  
for a fixed time determined by frequency-set  
resistor RFREQ and input voltage.  
If the FB voltage exceeds 130% of the REF  
voltage, then the device is latched off. Need  
cycle the input power supply or EN to restart.  
During OCP, the device tries to recover from the  
over-current fault with hiccup mode: the chip  
disables the output power stage, discharges the

Thermal Shutdown  
For other parts except MPQ8632GLE-10:  
The MPQ8632 has thermal shutdown. The IC  
internally monitors the junction temperature. If  
the junction temperature exceeds the threshold  
value (minimum 150ºC), the converter shuts off.  
This is a non-latch protection. There is about  
25ºC hysteresis. Once the junction temperature  
drops to about 125ºC, it initiates a soft startup.  
Even the FB voltage exceeds 130% of the REF  
voltage, these parts enter a non-latch off mode.  
Once the FB voltage comes back to the  
reasonable value, they will exit this OVP mode  
and operate normally again.  
UVLO protection  
The MPQ8632 has under-voltage lock-out  
protection (UVLO). When the VCC voltage  
exceeds the UVLO rising threshold voltage, the  
MPQ8632 powers up. It shuts off when the VCC  
voltage falls below the UVLO falling threshold  
voltage. This is non-latch protection.  
The MPQ8632 is disabled when the VCC voltage  
falls below 3.3 V. If an application requires a  
higher UVLO threshold, use the two external  
resistors connected to the EN pin as shown in  
Figure 9 to adjust the startup input voltage. For  
best results, use the enable resistors to set the  
input voltage falling threshold (VSTOP) above 3.6 V.  
Set the rising threshold (VSTART) to provide  
enough hysteresis to account for any input  
supply variations.

Where VFB(AVG) is the average FB voltage. VFB(AVG)  
varies with the VIN, VOUT, and load condition,  
where the load regulation is strictly related to the  
VFB(AVG). Also the line regulation is related to the  
VFB(AVG); improving the load or line regulation  
involves a lower VRAMP that meets equation 9.  
Figure10Simplified POSCAP Circuit  
First, choose a value for R2 that balances  
between high quiescent current loss (low R2) and  
high noise sensitivity on FB (high R2). A typical  
value falls within 5kΩ to 50kΩ, using a  
comparatively larger R2 when VOUT is low, and a  
smaller R2 when VOUT is high. Then calculate R1  
as follows, which considers the output ripple:

Using equations 16 and 17 to calculate the  
output voltage can be complicated. To simplify  
the R1 calculation in equation 16, add a DC-  
blocking capacitor, CDC, to filter the DC influence  
from R4 and R9. Figure 12 shows a simplified  
circuit with external ramp compensation and a  
DC-blocking capacitor. The addition of this  
capacitor, simplifies the R1 calculation as per  
equation 19 for PWM mode operation.

The output capacitor maintains the DC output  
voltage. Use ceramic capacitors or POSCAPs.  
Estimate the output voltage ripple as:  
The input current to the step-down converter is  
discontinuous, and therefore, requires  
a
capacitor to supply the AC current to the step-  
down converter while maintaining the DC input  
voltage. Use ceramic capacitors for best  
performance. During layout, Place the input  
capacitors as close to the IN pin as possible.

The ESR dominates the switching-frequency  
to 40% of the maximum switch current limit. Also,  
design for a peak inductor current that is below  
the maximum switch current limit. Calculate the  
inductance value as:  
impedance for POSCAPs,. The ESR ramp  
voltage is high enough to stabilize the system.  
thus eliminating the need for an external ramp.  
Select a minimum ESR value around 12mΩ to  
ensure stable operation. For simplification, the  
output ripple can be approximated as:

inductor current can be calculated as:

The inductor supplies constant current to the  
output load while being driven by the switching  
input voltage. A larger value inductor results in  
less ripple current and lower output ripple voltage,  
but is larger physical size, has a higher series  
resistance, and/or lower saturation current.  
Generally, select an inductor value that allows

LAYOUT RECOMMENDATION  
GND  
1. Place high current paths (GND, IN, and SW)  
very close to the device with short, direct and  
wide traces.  
C1E  
C3  
C1D  
2. Two-layer IN copper layers are required to  
achieve better performance. Place at least  
one 0.1uF-1uF 0603 or 0402 decoupling input  
capacitor on each side of the IC. The input  
capacitors should be placed as close to the  
IN and GND pins as possible (maximum 2mm  
edge-to-edge distance is allowed). Multiple  
vias with 18mil diameter and 8mil hole-size  
are required to be placed under the device  
and near input capacitors. These vias can  
help to reduce the parasitic inductance and  
optimize the thermal dissipation.

3. Put a decoupling capacitor as close to the  
VCC and AGND pins as possible.  
4. Keep the switching node (SW) plane as small  
as possible and far away from the feedback  
network.  
GND  
5. Place the external feedback resistors next to  
the FB pin. Make sure that there are no vias  
on the FB trace. The feedback resistors  
should refer to AGND instead of PGND.  
6. Keep the BST voltage path (BST, C3, and  
SW) as short as possible.  
7. Recommend strongly a four-layer layout to  
improve thermal performance.
