Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) MP4573 Integrated Synchronous Buck Converters

Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) MP4573 Integrated Synchronous Buck Converters achieve up to 2.5A of continuous output current with peak current control for an excellent transient response. The MP4573 operates over a wide 4.5V to 60V input voltage range that accommodates a variety of step-down applications in automotive input environments. A 2μA shutdown current is ideal for battery-powered applications.

The MPS MP4573 Buck Converters integrate internal high-side and low-side power MOSFETs (HS-FET and LS-FET, respectively), enabling high efficiency without needing an external Schottky diode. The device’s Advanced Asynchronous Modulation (AAM) mode achieves high efficiency under light-load conditions by scaling down the frequency to reduce switching and gate driver losses.

The Converters offer many built-in features, including soft-start (SS), enable (EN) control, and power good (PG) indication. High duty cycle and low-dropout (LDO) mode allow the MP4573 to withstand automotive cold crank conditions. To avoid current runaway on the device, over-current protection (OCP) is employed with valley current detection. The MP4573 features short-circuit protection (SCP) with hiccup mode, input undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and auto-recovery thermal protection.

The MP4573 offers an ultra-compact solution that requires a minimal number of readily available, standard external components and is housed in a QFN-12 (2.5mm x 3mm) package.
