PIN FUNCTIONS

Pin #

Name

Description

1

BST

Power Switch Boost. BST powers the gate of the high-side N-Channel power MOSFET

switch. Connect a 10nF or greater capacitor between BST and LX.

2

VIN

Internal Power Input. VIN supplies the power to the MP2108 through the internal LDO

regulator. Bypass VIN to PGND with a 10µF or greater capacitor. Connect VIN to the input

source voltage.

3

LX

Output Switching Node. LX is the source of the high-side N-Channel switch and the drain

of the low-side N-Channel switch. Connect the output LC filter between LX and the output.

4

PGND

Power Ground. PGND is the source of the N-Channel MOSFET synchronous rectifier.

Connect PGND to SGND as close to the MP2108 as possible.

5

SGND

Signal Ground.

6

SS

Soft-Start Input. Place a capacitor from SS to SGND to set the soft-start period. The

MP2108 sources 2µA from SS to the soft-start capacitor at start up. As the voltage at SS

rises, the feedback threshold voltage increases to limit inrush current at startup.

7

FB

Feedback Input. FB is the inverting input of the internal error amplifier. Connect a resistive

voltage divider from the output voltage to FB to set the output voltage.

8

COMP

Compensation Node. COMP is the output of the error amplifier. Connect a series RC

network to compensate the regulation control loop.

9

VREF

Internal 2.4V Regulator Bypass. Connect a 10nF capacitor between VREF and SGND to

bypass the internal regulator. Do not apply any load to VREF.

10

RUN

On/Off Control Input. Drive RUN high to turn on the MP2108, drive RUN low to turn the

MP2108 off. For automatic startup, connect RUN to VIN via a pullup resistor.
