Description
The MPQ3445-AEC1 is a high-efficiency, current-mode, synchronous boost controller with a wide input voltage (VIN) range. It can be used as a pre-boost controller to maintain the output voltage (VOUT) from a vehicle battery during automotive cranking or from a backup battery. The MPQ3445-AEC1 is capable of driving 10V MOSFETs, greatly improving efficiency and minimizing power loss.
The MPQ3445-AEC1 provides either an I2C or SPI interface to program some key operating parameters, such as the switching frequency (fSW), current limit, light-load mode, frequency spread spectrum (FSS), dead time (DT), and slope compensation. fSW can be adjusted from 250kHz to 2.5MHz or synchronized directly to an external source.
The MPQ3445-AEC1 operates in low quiescent current (IQ) bypass mode in the condition that VOUT is above the preset bypass threshold while VIN is above VOUT. When VOUT drops below the wake threshold, the part exits bypass mode and resumes normal operation with the high-side MOSFET (HS-FET) and low-side MOSFET (LS-FET) switching to regulate the output. The MPQ3445-AEC1 also includes under-voltage lockout (UVLO), current limit, and thermal shutdown protection.
The MPQ3445-AEC1 is available in a QFN-21 (5mmx5mm) package, and is AEC-Q100 qualified.
