MP2115
2A Synchronous Step-Down Converter
with Programmable Input Current Limit
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP2115 is a high frequency, current mode,
PWM step-down converter with integrated input
current limit switch. The step-down converter
integrates a main switch and a synchronous
rectifier for high efficiency without an external
Schottky diode. The input average current limit
can be externally programmed. It is ideal for
powering portable equipment that is powered
by an USB port. The MP2115 can supply 2A of
load current from a 2.8V to 6V input voltage.
The output voltage can be regulated as low as
0.6V.

Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) 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.
3) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.
4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

MP2115 – 2A, 6V SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN CONVERTER
OPERATION
The MP2115 is a constant frequency current
mode PWM step-down converter. The MP2115
is optimized for low voltage, USB port and LiIon battery powered applications where high
efficiency and small size are critical. The
MP2115 uses an external resistor divider to set
the output voltage from 0.6V to 6V. The device
integrates both a main switch and a
synchronous rectifier, which provides high
efficiency and eliminates an external Schottky
diode. The MP2115 can achieve 100% duty
cycle. The duty cycle D of a step-down
converter is defined as:
D = TON × fOSC × 100% ≈
VOUT
× 100%
VIN
Where TON is the main switch on time, and fOSC
is the oscillator frequency.
Current Mode PWM Control
Slope compensated current mode PWM control
provides stable switching and cycle-by-cycle
current limit for superior load and line response.
This protects the internal main switch and
synchronous rectifier. The MP2115 switch is
programmable from 0.7MHz to 2MHz. During
each cycle the PWM comparator modulates the
power transferred to the load by changing the
inductor peak current based on the feedback
error voltage. During normal operation, the
main switch is turned on for a certain time to
ramp the inductor current at each rising edge of
the internal oscillator, then switched off when
the peak inductor current rises above the error
voltage. When the main switch is off, the
synchronous rectifier will turn on immediately
and stay on until the next cycle starts.
Dropout Operation
The MP2115 allows the main switch to remain
on for more than one switching cycle and
increases the duty cycle when the input voltage
drops close to the output voltage. When the
duty cycle reaches 100%, the main switch
continuously delivers current to the output up to
the PFET current limit. The output voltage is the
input voltage minus the voltage drop across the
main switch and the inductor.
MP2115 Rev. 1.0
2/28/2011
Short Circuit Protection
The MP2115 has short circuit protection. When
the output is shorted to ground, the oscillator
frequency is reduced to prevent the inductor
current from increasing beyond the PFET
current limit. The PFET current limit is also
reduced to lower the short circuit current. The
frequency and current limit will return to the
normal values once the short circuit condition is
removed and the feedback voltage reaches
0.6V.
Maximum Load Current
The MP2115 can operate down to a 2.8V input
voltage; however the maximum load current
decreases at lower input due to a large IR drop
on the main switch and synchronous rectifier.
The slope compensation signal reduces the
peak inductor current as a function of the duty
cycle to prevent sub-harmonic oscillations at
duty cycles greater than 50%. Conversely the
current limit increases as the duty cycle
decreases.
Programmable Input Current Limit
The MP2115 has an input current limit
protection function. It will insure that the input
current doesn't exceed the maximum, when the
input is supplied by the USB. Once the input
current triggers the set current limit level, the
output voltage will shut down and latch off until
the input is reset.
The input current limit resistor R5 value can be
found from Table 1.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Output Voltage Setting
The external resistor divider sets the output
voltage (see Typical Application Circuit on page
1). The feedback resistor (R1) also sets the
feedback loop bandwidth with the internal
compensation capacitor (see Figure 1-Function
Block Diagram).
Inductor Selection
A 1µH to 10µH inductor with DC current rating at
least 25% higher than the maximum load current
is recommended for most applications. For best
efficiency, the inductor DC resistance shall be
<200mΩ. See Table 3 for recommended
inductors and manufacturers. For most designs,
the inductance value can be derived from the
following equation:
Choose R1 around 500kΩ for optimal transient
response. R2 is then given by:
R2 =
L1 =
VOUT × (VIN − VOUT )
VIN × ∆IL × fOSC

Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor (C1) reduces the surge
current drawn from the input and switching
noise from the device. The input capacitor
impedance at the switching frequency must be
less than input source impedance to prevent
high frequency switching current passing to the
input. Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R
dielectrics are highly recommended because of
their low ESR and small temperature
coefficients. For most applications, a 10µF
capacitor is sufficient.
Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor (C4) keeps output voltage
ripple small and ensures regulation loop stable.
The output capacitor impedance should remain
low at the switching frequency. Ceramic
capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics are
recommended. The output ripple ∆VOUT is
approximately:
∆VOUT ≤

VSYS Capacitor Selection
The VSYS capacitor C2 is used to supply the
USB port and with the peak output current,
such as during the TDM frame. That output
peak current is about 2A. Use three 470µF
capacitors to avoid large voltage drops.
