MP5016GQH-P

Overview

The MP5016GQH-P is a high-side current limit switch manufactured by Monolithic Power Systems. It operates within an input voltage range of 2.7V to 15V and supports output currents from 0.7A to 5A. The device integrates over-voltage clamp and reverse blocking capabilities. It utilizes a 10-QFN (1.5x2mm) package for compact surface-mount applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates over-voltage clamp protection to safeguard downstream circuits from input transients.
• Provides reverse blocking functionality to prevent current flow from source to input.
• Features programmable current limiting with adjustable soft-start characteristics.

Applications

• Power distribution in portable electronic devices
• Protection of peripheral interfaces such as USB or HDMI
• Load switching in industrial control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm pinout and thermal specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required operating temperature range and package dimensions for your PCB layout. Cross-reference ordering codes with manufacturer documentation to avoid substitution errors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring robust input protection and precise current management. Consider the 15V maximum rating and 5A peak capability relative to your system's power budget. Evaluate the 10-QFN footprint constraints during the mechanical design phase to ensure adequate thermal dissipation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MP5016 series of current limit switches from Monolithic Power Systems. It is designed for applications needing integrated protection features in a small form factor. The series typically includes variants with different suffixes indicating packaging or testing options, all sharing core electrical characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

MP5016HGQH offers similar functionality with an extended voltage range up to 22V. Verify pin compatibility and thermal performance before substituting. Consult official MPS documentation for detailed cross-reference data.
