Description
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) across a wide input voltage (VIN) range, with excellent load and line regulation.
The USB outputs are fixed as one USB Type-A USB port and one USB 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 are 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.
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 USB Type-C advertised current capability changes to 1.5A.
The MPQ4253B requires a minimal number of readily available, standard external components, and is available in a QFN-26 (5mmx5mm) package.
