MP2492
2A, 55V, 100kHz Step-Down Converter
with Programmable Output Current Limit
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
The MP2492 is a monolithic step-down switch
mode converter with a programmable output
current limit. It achieves 2A 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.
MP2492 achieves low EMI signature with well
controlled switching edges.
Fault condition protection includes cycle-by-cycle
current limiting, and thermal shutdown.
The MP2492 requires a minimum number of
readily available standard external components.
The MP2492 is available in QFN10 (3mm x 3mm)
and SOIC8E 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 JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

PIN FUNCTIONS

Name
Description
Supply Voltage. The MP2492 operates from a +4.5V to +55V unregulated input.
C
IN
is needed to prevent large voltage spikes from appearing at the input. Put C
IN
VIN
as close to the IC as possible. It is the drain of the internal power device and
power supply for the whole chip.
GND Ground. This pin is the voltage reference for the regulated output voltage. For this
Exposed reason care must be taken in its layout. This node should be placed outside of the
Pad
D1 to C
IN
ground path to prevent switching current spikes from inducing voltage
noise into the part, Exposed Pad must be connected to Ground pin.
EN
On/Off Control Input.
An external resistor divider from the output to GND, tapped to the FB pin sets the
FB
output voltage.
Connect to an external capacitor used for Soft-Start and compensation for current
SS
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 an
PGOOD 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 to charge up
BST
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.
