MP4420GJ-Z Pin Configuration
| Package Pin # | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | PG | Power Good. The output of this pin is an open drain and goes high if the output voltage exceeds 90% of the nominal voltage. |
| 2 | IN | Supply Voltage. The MP4420 operates from a 4V to 30V input rail. Requires C1 to decouple the input rail. Connect using a wide PCB trace. |
| 3 | SW | Switch Output. Connect using a wide PCB trace. |
| 4 | GND | System Ground. This pin is the reference ground of the regulated output voltage, and PCB layout requires special care. For best results, connect to GND with copper traces and vias. |
| 5 | BST | Bootstrap. Requires a capacitor connected between SW and BST pins to form a floating supply across the high-side switch driver. A 20 Ω resistor placed between SW and BST cap is strongly recommended to reduce SW spike voltage. |
| 6 | EN/SYNC | Enable/Synchronize. EN high to enable the MP4420. Apply an external clock to the EN pin to change the switching frequency. |
| 7 | VCC | Bias Supply. Decouple with 0.1 μ F-to-0.22 μ F capacitor. Select a capacitor that does not exceed 0.22 μ F. |
| 8 | FB | Feedback. Connect to the tap of an external resistor divider from the output to GND, to set the output voltage. The frequency fold-back comparator lowers the oscillator frequency when the FB voltage is below 660mV to prevent current limit runaway during a short-circuit fault condition. |

MP4420GJ-Z Thermal Information
Thermal shutdown prevents the chip from operating at exceedingly high temperatures. When the silicon die temperature exceeds 170°C, it shuts down the whole chip. When the temperature drops below its lower threshold (typically 140°C) the chip is enabled again.
