QUICK START GUIDE

1. Connect the positive and negative terminals of the load to the VOUT and GND pins,

respectively.

2. Preset the power supply output between 2.7V and 5.5V, and then turn off the power supply.

3. Connect the positive and negative terminals of the power supply output to the VIN and GND

pins, respectively.

4. Turn the power supply on. The board will automatically start up.

5. To use the Enable function, apply a digital input to the EN pin. Drive EN higher than 1.2V to turn

on the regulator or less than 0.4V to turn it off.

LAYOUT RECOMMENDATION OF MP2174C

Proper layout of the switching power supplies is very important, and sometimes critical to make it work

properly. Especially, for the high switching converter, if the layout is not carefully done, the regulator

could show poor line or load regulation, stability issues.

For MP2174C, the high speed step-down regulator, the input capacitor should be placed as close as

possible to the IC pins. As shown in Figure 6, the 0805 size ceramic capacitor is used, please make

sure the two ends of the ceramic capacitor be directly connected to PIN1 (the Power Input Pin) and PIN

3 (the Power GND Pin).
