MPQ4415M – 36V, 1.5A, 2.2MHz, SYNCHRONOUS, STEP-DOWN CONVERTER
PIN FUNCTIONS
Package
Pin #
Name Description
Supply voltage. IN supplies power for the internal MOSFET and regulator. The
MPQ4415M operates from a 4V to 36V input rail. A low ESR and low-inductance
capacitor is required to decouple the input rail. Place the input capacitor very close to IN
and connect it with wide PCB traces and multiple vias.

PG
No connection. Do not connect.
Power good indicator. The output of PG is an open drain and goes high if the output
voltage exceeds 88% of the nominal voltage.
Enable/synchronize. Pull EN/SYNC high to enable the MPQ4415M. Float EN/SYNC or

EN/SYNC connect EN/SYNC to ground to disable the MPQ4415M. If an external sync clock is
applied to EN/SYNC, the internal clock follows the sync frequency.
Feedback. Connect FB to the tap of an external resistor divider from the output to AGND
to set the output voltage. The frequency foldback comparator lowers the oscillator

FB
frequency when the FB voltage is below 400mV to prevent current limit runaway during a
short-circuit fault. Place the resistor divider as close to FB as possible. Avoid placing vias
on the FB traces.
Internal bias supply. Decouple VCC with a 0.1μF - 0.22μF capacitor. The capacitance
should be no more than 0.22μF.
VCC
Analog ground. AGND is the reference ground of the logic circuit. AGND is connected to
PGND internally. There is no need to add external connections to PGND.

AGND
SW
Switch output. Connect SW using a wide PCB trace.
Bootstrap. A capacitor connected between SW and BST is required to form a floating
supply across the high-side switch driver. A 20Ω resistor placed between the SW and
BST capacitor is strongly recommended to reduce SW voltage spikes.

BST
Power ground. PGND is the reference ground of the power device and requires careful

PGND consideration during PCB layout. For best results, connect PGND with copper pours and
vias.
