GND Ground.
SW Power Switch Output. Inductor connection to drains of the internal PFET and NFET switches.
IN
Supply Input. Bypass to GND with a 2.2µF or greater ceramic capacitor.
Feedback Input (MP2104DJ). Connect FB to the center point of the external resistor divider. The
feedback threshold voltage is 0.6V.

Output Voltage Sense Input (MP2104DJ-1.5 and MP2104DJ-1.8). An internal resistor divider is
connected to this pin to set the proper output voltage.

OPERATION
The MP2104 is a constant frequency current
mode PWM step-down converter. The MP2104
is optimized for low voltage, Li-Ion battery
powered applications where high efficiency and
small size are critical. The MP2104 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 MP2104 can
achieve 100% duty cycle. The duty cycle D of a
step-down converter is defined as:
VOUT
D = TON × fOSC ×100% ≈
×100%
VIN
Where TON is the main switch on time, fOSC is
the oscillator frequency (1.7MHz), VOUT is the
output voltage and VIN is the input voltage.
