Product details
Overview
MP2013AGQ-33-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a fixed-output, 3.3V, 150mA low-quiescent-current linear regulator with 2.5V–40V input range, 620mV dropout at full load, ±2% output accuracy, and thermal shutdown protection-designed for battery-powered microcontrollers and industrial sensors operating in harsh voltage environments.
For engineers reviewing the MP2013AGQ-33-Z datasheet, MP2013AGQ-33-Z pinout, MP2013AGQ-33-Z application, or MP2013AGQ-33-Z equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, QFN8 package layout guidance, fixed-output stability data, and real-world use cases for ultra-low-power 3.3V rail generation under wide-input conditions.
Technical Context
The MP2013AGQ-33-Z implements a PMOS-based LDO architecture with internal feedback reference (1.215V) and precision bandgap regulation, enabling stable 3.3V output across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Its enable input features 1.26V falling threshold and 1.48V rising threshold for controlled startup sequencing.
It integrates current limiting (~270mA peak), thermal shutdown (150°C trip, 20°C hysteresis), and operates with only a 0.47μF ceramic output capacitor-eliminating need for electrolytic or tantalum types. Quiescent current remains ≤10µA at no load and ≤50µA at 150mA load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% (3.234V–3.366V), calibrated at VIN=4.3V, IOUT=0-ensures reliable logic-level compatibility with 3.3V microcontrollers and peripherals. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 40V-supports direct connection to automotive batteries (12V/24V), industrial 24V rails, and high-voltage backup supplies without external pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous-sufficient for low-power MCUs (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+), sensors, and RF transceivers while maintaining thermal safety in QFN8 package. |
| Quiescent Current | 4.4µA (typ) to 10µA (max) at IOUT<1mA-enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT endpoints and remote monitoring nodes. |
| Dropout Voltage | 700mV (typ) to 850mV (max) at 150mA-allows operation down to VIN=4.0V while sustaining regulated 3.3V output, critical for brownout resilience. |
| PSRR @ 100Hz | 58dB-suppresses low-frequency ripple from switching converters or noisy DC sources, preserving ADC reference integrity in mixed-signal systems. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C trip with 20°C hysteresis-prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking; auto-recovery on cooldown. |
Pinout & Package
MP2013AGQ-33-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN8 (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad. The 8-pin layout supports compact, high-density PCB designs and efficient heat dissipation when the exposed pad is soldered to a solid ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.5V–40V unregulated input; requires ≥1µF X5R/X7R ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability and transient response. |
| 2 (EN) | Enable Control | Active-high logic input (1.26V–1.58V thresholds); tie to IN for automatic startup or drive externally for power sequencing and system sleep control. |
| 3 & 7 (NC) | No Connection | Unbonded pins-may be left floating or connected to GND to improve thermal conduction and mechanical rigidity of the package. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground Reference | Main signal and power return; must be tied directly to exposed thermal pad and shared low-impedance ground plane for noise immunity and thermal management. |
| 5 (FB) | Feedback Input | Internally connected to 3.3V divider; float for fixed-output operation-no external resistors required, simplifying BOM and layout. |
| 6 & 8 (NC) | No Connection | Unbonded pins-same handling as pins 3 and 7; grounding recommended for thermal enhancement. |
| 8 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 3.3V; requires ≥0.47μF ceramic capacitor (X5R/X7R) at pin for loop stability-no ESR constraints unlike older LDOs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3.3µA typical supply current enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered sensors and wearables. |
| Wide input voltage range | 2.5V–40V operation eliminates need for upstream buck converter in 12V/24V industrial or automotive subsystems. |
| Low-ESR capacitor compatibility | Stable with ≥0.47μF ceramic output capacitors-reduces cost, size, and aging concerns vs. tantalum or aluminum electrolytics. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (~270mA) and thermal shutdown prevent failure during short-circuit or ambient overheating-no external circuitry needed. |
| Precision output accuracy | ±2% over temperature and line/load ensures reliable interface with 3.3V I/O standards (e.g., SPI, I²C, UART) without margining overhead. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B332MR-G | 3.3V fixed, 150mA, 2.0V–6.0V input, 1.5µA IQ, SOT-25 package | Limited to ≤6V input-requires pre-regulation for automotive or industrial 12V/24V rails. | Select when ultra-low IQ (<2µA) is critical and input stays below 6V; avoid for direct battery connection above 6V. |
| Analog Devices ADM7172ACPZ-3.3-R7 | 3.3V fixed, 2A, 2.3V–6.5V input, 250µA IQ, LFCSP-10 package | Higher current and IQ, narrower input range, larger footprint-over-specified for 150mA use cases. | Choose only if future scalability to >500mA is required; otherwise, MP2013AGQ-33-Z offers better cost, size, and IQ efficiency at 150mA. |
Compared with XC6210B332MR-G, MP2013AGQ-33-Z supports 6.7× wider input range (40V vs. 6V) but trades 1.2µA lower IQ for robustness in unregulated systems; versus ADM7172ACPZ-3.3-R7, it delivers identical 3.3V accuracy at 1/25th the quiescent current and 1/3rd the package area for 150mA loads.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required to maintain 3.3V output at 150mA?
The MP2013AGQ-33-Z requires VIN ≥ 4.0V (3.3V + 700mV dropout) to sustain regulation at full load. At 25°C, typical dropout is 700mV; worst-case is 850mV, so design margin should assume VIN ≥ 4.15V for guaranteed performance across temperature and process variation.
Can the EN pin be left unconnected for always-on operation?
No-EN must be actively driven high (≥1.48V) or tied directly to IN. Leaving EN floating risks erratic enable behavior due to noise coupling; internal pull-down is not present. For automatic startup, connect EN to IN via a low-impedance path.
Is an output capacitor mandatory, and what type is recommended?
Yes-a minimum 0.47μF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor is required between OUT and GND for stability. Larger values (e.g., 4.7μF) improve load transient response and reduce output noise. Tantalum or aluminum electrolytics are not recommended due to ESR and aging effects.
Does MP2013AGQ-33-Z require input capacitance, and how much?
Yes-an input ceramic capacitor of 1µF to 10µF (X5R/X7R) is required between IN and GND, placed as close as possible to the IN pin. This filters high-frequency noise and supports transient current demands during load steps, preventing input voltage sag that could trigger UVLO.
How does thermal performance differ between QFN6 and QFN8 packages?
QFN8 (3mm×3mm) has θJA = 48°C/W vs. QFN6 (2mm×2mm) at 80°C/W-meaning QFN8 dissipates heat ~67% more effectively. At 150mA and 12V input, QFN8 junction rise is ~50°C vs. ~83°C for QFN6, making QFN8 preferred for high-ambient or high-power-dissipation applications.
What happens during reverse voltage conditions (VOUT > VIN)?
The internal PMOS pass device contains a body diode that conducts from OUT to IN when VOUT exceeds VIN-causing uncontrolled reverse current. External reverse-voltage protection (e.g., Schottky diode at IN) is mandatory in backup-battery or hot-swap scenarios to prevent damage.
Is the FB pin accessible for adjusting the 3.3V output?
Yes-the FB pin is brought out and internally biased to 1.215V. While the fixed 3.3V version uses internal resistor dividers (R1_IN=1.716MΩ, R2_IN=1MΩ), external resistors can fine-tune output voltage per the datasheet equations-enabling precise calibration or dynamic adjustment.
