MPQ3431C
21A, High-Efficiency, Fully Integrated,
Synchronous Boost Converter with
Configurable Peak Switching Current Limit,
AEC-Q100 Qualified
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MPQ3431C is a 450kHz, fixed-frequency,
highly integrated boost converter with a wide
input voltage (VIN) range. The MPQ3431C starts
from a VIN as low as 2.7V, and supports up to
20W of load power from a single-cell battery

The MPQ3431C adopts constant-off-time
(COT) control topology, which provides fast
transient response. The MODE pin allows the
user to select pulse-skip mode (PSM), forced
continuous conduction mode (FCCM), or
ultrasonic mode (USM) under light-load
conditions. The configurable current limit
provides accurate overload protection. The low-
side MOSFET (LS-FET) limits the cycle-by-
cycle inductor peak current, and the high-side
MOSFET (HS-FET) eliminates the requirement
for an external Schottky diode.
