MPQ4253B
36V Buck Converter Supports One Type-A,
One Type-C Dual USB Charging Ports and
Passes Apple MFI, AEC-Q100 Qualified
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MPQ4253B integrates a monolithic, step-
down, switch-mode converter with two USB
current-limit switches and charging port
identification circuitry for each port. The
MPQ4253B can achieve up to 6A of output
current (IOUT), with excellent load and line
regulation across a wide input voltage (VIN)
range.

Plugged In
Default Frequency Spread Spectrum (FSS)
at 480kHz (FREQ is Floating)
Auto-PFM/PWM Mode
Wide 6V to 36V Operating Input Voltage

The USB outputs are fixed as one Type-A USB
port and one Type-C USB port. Each USB switch
is current-limited. The USB1 port supports USB
Type-C 5V @ 3A DFP mode. The USB2 port
supports DCP schemes for battery charging
specification (BC1.2), Apple divider 3 mode, and
1.2V/1.2V mode, which eliminates the need for
outside user interaction.

The MPQ4253B buck and USB2 output is
always on if EN is high. If USB2 detects that a
device is plugged in, then the USB1 port
capability changes to 1.5A automatically.
The step-down converter uses peak current
(IPEAK) mode control to regulate IOUT. Under light-
load conditions, the part enters pulse-frequency
modulation (PFM) mode to improve efficiency.
Buck and USB Over-Current Protection
(OCP) with Hiccup Mode
Supports DCP Schemes for BC1.2, Apple
Divider 3 Mode, and 1.2V/1.2V Mode
Supports USB Type-C 5V @ 3A DFP Mode
Available in a QFN-26 (5mmx5mm)

Full protection features include over-current
protection (OCP) with hiccup mode, output over-
voltage protection (OVP), and thermal
shutdown. The device supports load-shedding
mode for the USB1 port. When entering load-
shedding, the Type-C advertised current
capability changes to 1.5A.
