MPS MP5520 Power Loss Protection IC | SSD Backup Power Management Chip

2026-02-27 10:11:40 CORE View times 119

  MPS MP5520 is a power loss protection management IC designed for high-efficiency power management in enterprise and datacenter solid-state drives (SSDs). It integrates multiple functions in a compact monolithic converter to ensure reliable operation during power interruptions — making it suitable for systems that need robust energy hold-up and protection.

MP5520 QFN-37 (5mmx6mm)

  Key Features & Description

  1.Wide Input Voltage Range

  • Designed to operate from 2.7 V up to 16 V.

  2.Integrated Dual E-Fuses (Current-Limit Switches)

  • Provides two input current-limit switches (“e-fuses”) with low on-resistance (RDS(ON)).

  • Each e-fuse limits input current and blocks reverse current, protecting the system against voltage faults.

  3.Bidirectional Buck-Boost Converter

  • Manages energy storage and delivery between the input and backup storage capacitors.

  • Increases (boosts) or decreases (bucks) voltage as needed to maintain power during an input source loss.

  • Only one external inductor is required, keeping solution size small.

  4.Energy Storage & Hold-Up Support

  • Backup energy is stored in high-voltage capacitors.

  • During a power loss, the bidirectional converter releases stored energy to the system, maintaining operation through a controlled hold-up time.

  5.Power-Sharing Converter

  • A separate bidirectional converter allows power sharing between the e-fuses.

  • Configurable modes include boost power-sharing and buck power-sharing.

  6.Monitoring & Reliability Features

  • Internal ADC monitors input voltages, currents, and power for each channel.

  • Includes health monitoring for the storage capacitor to ensure long-term reliability.

  7.Soft-Start Function

  • Prevents inrush current during system start-up.

  8. Compact Package

  • Available in a QFN-37 (5 mm × 6 mm) package.

  Typical Applications

  • Enterprise SSD power management

  • Datacenter storage systems

  • Backup power protection circuits
