MPQ4561 – 1.5A, 2MHz, 55V STEP-DOWN CONVERTER
PIN FUNCTIONS
QFN
Name
Pin #
Description
Switch Node. Output of the high-side switch. Requires a low VF Schottky rectifier to
ground. Place the rectifier close to the SW pins to reduce switching spikes..

Enable Input. Pull this pin below the specified threshold to shut the chip down. Pull it
above the specified threshold or leaving it floating to enable the chip.
Compensation. GM error amplifier output. Apply control-loop frequency compensation to
this pin.
4
COMP
Feedback. This is the input to the error amplifier. Connect an external resistive divider
connected between the output and GND. Compare to the internal +0.8V reference to set
the regulation voltage.

6
FB
Ground. Connect as close as possible to the output capacitor and avoid high-current
switching paths. Connect the exposed pad to GND plane for optimal thermal
performance.
GND,
Exposed Pad
Switching Frequency Program Input. Connect a resistor from this pin to ground to set the
switching frequency.

8
FREQ
SS
Soft start programming mode. Connect a capacitor between SS and GND to set the soft
start time.
Input Supply. Supplies power to all the internal control circuitry, both BS regulators, and
the high-side switch. Place a decoupling capacitor to ground close to this pin to minimize
switching spikes.
9
VIN
Bootstrap. This is the positive power supply for the internal floating high-side MOSFET
driver. Connect a bypass capacitor between this pin and the SW pin.
