NOTES:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) For details of EN’s ABS Max rating, please refer to the EN
Control section on page 11.
3) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature TJ (MAX), the junction-to-
ambient thermal resistance JA, and the ambient temperature
TA. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by PD (MAX) = (TJ
(MAX)-TA)/JA. Exceeding the maximum allowable powe
r
dissipation produces an excessive die temperature, causing
the regulator to 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.

OPERATION
BUCK CONVERTER SECTION
The MPQ4475M integrates a monolithic,
synchronous, rectified, step-down, switch-mode
converter with internal power MOSFETs and a
USB current-limit switch with charging port auto-
detection. The MPQ4475M offers a very compact
solution that achieves 2.5A of continuous output
current with excellent load and line regulation
over a wide input supply range.
The MPQ4475M operates in a fixed-frequency,
peak-current-mode control to regulate the output
voltage. The internal clock initiates the PWM
cycle, which turns on the integrated high-side
power MOSFET (HS-FET). The HS-FET remains
on until its current reaches the value set by the
COMP voltage (VCOMP). When the power switch is
off, it remains off until the next clock cycle begins.
If the duty cycle reaches 88% (350kHz switching
frequency) in one PWM period, the current in the
power MOSFET cannot reach the COMP-set
current value, and the power MOSFET is forced
off.
Error Amplifier (EA)
The error amplifier (EA) compares the internal
feedback voltage against the internal 1V
reference (REF) and outputs a COMP voltage,
which controls the power MOSFET current. The
optimized internal compensation network
minimizes the external component count and
simplifies the control loop design.
Internal VCC Regulator
The 5V internal regulator powers most of the
internal circuitries. This regulator takes the VIN
input and operates in the full VIN range. When VIN
exceeds 5.0V, the output of the regulator is in full
regulation. When VIN is less than 5.0V, the output
decreases with VIN. VCC requires an external
0.22µF ceramic decoupling capacitor.
Enable Control (EN)
The MPQ4475M has an enable control pin (EN).
Pulling EN high enables the IC; pulling EN low
disables the IC. Connect EN to VIN through a
resistor for automatic start-up. An internal 1M
resistor from EN to GND allows EN to float to
shut down the IC. EN is clamped internally using
a 7.6V series Zener diode (see Figure 2).
Connect the EN input through a pull-up resistor
to any voltage connected to VIN. EN requires
limiting the EN input current below 230A and
the amplitude of the voltage source below 10V to
prevent damage to the Zener diode.
For example, if connecting 36V to VIN, then
RPULLUP (36V - 10V) / 230µA = 113k.
Figure 2: Zener Diode between EN and GND
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) protects the chip
from operating at an insufficient supply voltage.
The MPQ4475M’s UVLO comparator monitors
the input voltage. The UVLO rising threshold is
5.7V, and its falling threshold is 4.7V.
Internal Soft Start (SS)
The soft start (SS) prevents the converter output
voltage from overshooting during start-up. When
the chip starts up, the internal circuitry generates
a SS voltage that ramps up from 0V to 5V. When
SS is lower than REF, the error amplifier uses SS
as the reference. When SS is higher than REF,
the error amplifier uses REF as the reference.
The SS time is set to 1.65ms internally.
If the output of the MPQ4475M is pre-biased to a
certain voltage during start-up, the IC disables
the switching of both the high-side and low-side
switches until the voltage on the internal SS
capacitor exceeds the internal feedback voltage.

Buck Over-Current-Protection (OCP)
The MPQ4475M uses a cycle-by-cycle over-
current limit when the inductor peak current
exceeds the current-limit threshold, and the FB
voltage drops below the under-voltage (UV)
threshold (typically 70% below the reference).
Once UV is triggered, the MPQ4475M enters
hiccup mode to restart the part periodically. This
protection mode is especially useful when the
output is dead-shorted to ground. This reduces
the average short-circuit current greatly,
alleviates thermal issues, and protects the
regulator. The MPQ4475M exits hiccup mode
once the over-current condition is removed.
Buck Output Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
The MPQ4475M buck converter has output over-
voltage protection (OVP). If the output is higher
than 6V, the high-side switch stops turning on.
The low-side switch turns on to discharge the
output voltage until the output decreases to
5.75V, and the chip then resumes normal
operation. If the output over-voltage cannot be
discharged to 5.75V, the low-side switch is
turned off after the inductor current reaches the
negative current limit. The low-side switch turns
on again when the next clock cycle is triggered.
Floating Driver and Bootstrap Charging
An external bootstrap capacitor powers the
floating power MOSFET driver. This floating
driver has its own UVLO protection. The UVLO’s
rising threshold is 2.2V with a hysteresis of
150mV. The bootstrap capacitor voltage is
regulated internally by VIN through D1, M1, C4,
L1, and C2 (see Figure 3). If VBST - VSW exceeds
5V, U1 regulates M1 to maintain a 5V BST
voltage across C4.

Start-Up and Shutdown
If both VIN and EN exceed their respective
thresholds, the chip is enabled. The reference
block starts first, generating a stable reference
voltage and current, and then the internal
regulator is enabled. The regulator provides a
stable supply for the remaining circuitries.
Three events can shut down the chip: EN low, VIN
low, and thermal shutdown. During shutdown, the
signaling path is blocked first to prevent any fault
triggering. VCOMP and the internal supply rail are
then pulled down. The floating driver is not
subject to this shutdown command.
Buck Output Discharge
The buck portion involves a discharge function
that provides a resistive discharge path for the
external output capacitor. This function is active
when the part is disabled (input voltage is under
UVLO, enable off), and is done in a very limited
amount of time. After VCC is discharged below
1V, the buck output discharge resistor is
disconnected.

USB CURRENT-LIMIT SWITCH SECTION
Current-Limit Switch
The MPQ4475M integrates a single-channel USB
current-limit switch. The switch provides built-in,
soft-start circuitry that controls the rising slew
rate of the output voltage to limit inrush current
and voltage surges.
When the load current reaches the current-limit
threshold (typically 2.75A), the USB power
MOSFET switches into foldback current limit
mode (70% of the current limit) (see Figure 4).
When the over-current limit condition lasts longer
than 3ms, the device enters hiccup mode with
3ms of on time and 0.5s of off time.

Output Line Drop Compensation
The MPQ4475M can compensate for an output-
voltage drop (such as high impedance caused by
a long trace) to maintain a fairly constant 5V
load-side voltage.
The MPQ4475M uses the internal current-sense
output voltage of the current-limit switch to
compensate for the line drop voltage. Since the
trace resistance is different for different cables,
the MPQ4475M provides selectable line drop
compensation through VDROP. The line drop
compensation amplitude increases linearly as the
load current increases, and also has an upper
limitation.
USB Output Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
To protect the device at the cable terminal, the
USB switch output uses a dynamic over-voltage
protection (OVP) threshold. The MPQ4475M
adjusts the OVP threshold based on different
USB loading currents.
The MPQ4475M uses intelligent line drop
compensation and a dynamic over-voltage
protection control scheme to ensure that the
voltage at the cable terminal meets the 4.75V -
5.25V specification.
USB Output Discharge
USB portion involves a discharge function that
provides a resistive discharge path for the
external output capacitor. The function is active
when the part is disabled (input voltage is under
UVLO, enable off), and is done in a very limited
amount of time.
Auto-Detection
The MPQ4475M integrates the USB dedicated
charging port auto-detect function, which
recognizes most mainstream portable devices.
The MPQ4475M supports the following charging
schemes:
USB Battery Charging Specification BC1.2/
Chinese Telecommunications Industry
Standard YD/T 1591-2009
Divider Mode
1.2V/1.2V Mode
The auto-detect function utilizes a state machine
that supports all of the above DCP charging
schemes.
After power startup, MPQ4475M will enter default
divider mode, output voltage is 5.05V with full line
drop compensation. If MPQ4475M enters BC1.2
short mode or 1.2V/1.2V mode, output voltage
will change to 5.25V with half line drop
compensation. By doing this, the device uses
BC1.2 mode or 1.2V/1.2V mode that can charge
at its full rated current.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown prevents the chip from
operating at exceedingly high temperatures.
When the silicon die temperature exceeds 165°C,
the entire chip shuts down. When the
temperature falls below its lower threshold
(typically 145°C), the chip is enabled again.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Selecting the Inductor
Use an inductor with a DC current rating at
least 25% percent higher than the maximum
load current for most applications. Select an
inductor with a small DC resistance for optimum
efficiency. For most designs, the inductor value
can be derived with Equation (1):
OUT IN OUT
1
IN L OSC
V(VV)
LVIf
(1)
Where IL is the inductor ripple current.
Choose the inductor ripple current to be
approximately 30% of the maximum load
current. The maximum inductor peak current
can be calculated with Equation (2):

I
II L
LOAD)MAX(L
(2)
Typically, a 22H inductance is recommended
to improve EMI.
Selecting the Buck Input Capacitor
The input current to the step-down converter is
discontinuous and therefore requires a
capacitor to supply AC current to the step-down
converter while maintaining the DC input
voltage. Use low ESR capacitors for best
performance. Ceramic capacitors with X5R or
X7R dielectrics are highly recommended
because of their low ESR and small
temperature coefficients. For CLA applications,
a low ESR 100F electrolytic capacitor and two
10F ceramic capacitors are recommended for
EMI reduction.
Since the input capacitor (C1) absorbs the input
switching current, it requires an adequate ripple
current rating. The RMS current in the input
capacitor can be estimated with Equation (3):
IN

The worst-case condition occurs at VIN = 2VOUT,
shown in Equation (4):

1C (4)
For simplification, choose an input capacitor
with an RMS current rating greater than half of
the maximum load current.
The input capacitor can be electrolytic, tantalum,
or ceramic. When using electrolytic capacitors,
place two additional high-quality ceramic
capacitors as close to IN as possible. The input
voltage ripple caused by the capacitance can
be estimated with Equation (5):
LOAD OUT OUT
IN IN
SIN
IV V

fC1V V

Selecting the Buck Output Capacitor
The device requires an output capacitor (C2) to
maintain the DC output voltage. Estimate the
output voltage ripple with Equation (6):
OUT OUT
OUT ESR
S1 IN S
VV 1
V1R
fL V 8fC2
(6)
Where L1 is the inductor value, and RESR is the
equivalent series resistance (ESR) value of the
output capacitor.
For electrolytic capacitors, the ESR dominates
the impedance at the switching frequency. For
simplification, the output ripple can be
approximated with Equation (7):
OUT OUT
OUT ESR
IN
S1
VV
V1R
fL V
(7)
The characteristics of the output capacitor
affect the stability of the regulatory system. A
low ESR electrolytic capacitor is recommended
for low output ripple and good control loop
stability. For CLA applications, a 270µF polymer
or electrolytic capacitor with ~20m ESR and
one 1µF ceramic capacitor are recommended.
