MP2490
1.5A, 36V, 700KHz Step-Down Converter
with Programmable Output Current Limit
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
The MP2490 is a monolithic step-down switch
mode converter with a programmable output
current limit. It achieves 1.5A continuous output
current over a wide input supply range with
excellent load and line regulation.
The maximum output current can be
programmed by sensing current through the
inductor DC resistance (DCR) or an accurate
sense resistor.
Fault condition protection includes cycle-by-cycle
current limiting and thermal shutdown.
The MP2490 requires a minimum number of
readily available standard external components.
The MP2490 is available in QFN10 (3mm x 3mm),
8-pin SOIC and PDIP packages.

Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature T
J
(MAX), the junction-to-
ambient thermal resistance
θ
JA
, and the ambient temperature
T
A
. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by P
D
(MAX) = (T
J
(MAX)-T
A
)/θ
JA
. 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.
3) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.
4) Measured on JEDEC51-7 4 layer PCB.

Supply Voltage. The MP2490 operates from a +4.5V to +36V unregulated
input. C
IN
is needed to prevent large voltage spikes from appearing at the
VIN
input. Put C
IN
as close to the IC as possible. It is the drain of the internal
power device and power supply for the whole chip.
Ground. This pin is the voltage reference for the regulated output voltage.
For this reason care must be taken in its layout. This node should be placed
GND
outside of the D1 to C
IN
ground path to prevent switching current spikes from
inducing voltage noise into the part.
EN
On/Off Control Input. (Only available for the MP2490DQ)
Feedback. An external resistor divider from the output to GND, tapped to the
FB pin sets the output voltage. To prevent current limit run away during a
FB
short circuit fault condition the frequency-fold-back comparator lowers the
oscillator frequency when the FB voltage is below 250mV.
Connect to an external capacitor used for Soft-Start and compensation for
SS
current limiting loop.
ISN
Negative Current Sense Input for load current limiting.
ISP
Positive Current Sense
Power good signal. When FB is less than 90% of 0.8V, PGOOD is low. It is
PGOOD an open-drain output. Use a high value pull-up resistor externally to pull it up
to system power supply.
Bootstrap. This capacitor is needed to drive the power switch’s gate above
the supply voltage. It is connected between SW and BST pins to form a
floating supply across the power switch driver. An on-chip regulator is used
BST
to charge up the external boot-strap capacitor. If the on-chip regulator is not
strong enough, one optional diode can be connected from IN or OUT to
charge the external boot-strap capacitor.
SW
Switch Output. It is the source of power device.
