Product details
Overview
MP2013AGQ-5-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a fixed-output 5V, 150mA low-quiescent-current linear regulator with 2.5V–40V input range, 620mV dropout at full load, ±2% output accuracy, and thermal shutdown protection. It operates in QFN8 (3mm×3mm) package and targets battery-powered industrial sensors and ultra-low-power microcontrollers requiring stable 5V rail under wide-input-voltage conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MP2013AGQ-5-Z datasheet, MP2013AGQ-5-Z pinout, MP2013AGQ-5-Z application, or MP2013AGQ-5-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include quiescent current (4.4–8 µA), dropout voltage at 150mA, EN threshold hysteresis (1.26V/1.48V), FB reference tolerance (±2%), and thermal shutdown activation at 150°C - all critical for low-power, high-reliability embedded power rails.
Technical Context
The MP2013AGQ-5-Z implements a PMOS-based LDO architecture with internal feedback regulation referenced to a 1.215V bandgap. Its enable logic features asymmetric thresholds (1.26V falling, 1.48V rising) for robust UVLO behavior, and its thermal shutdown circuit activates at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis to prevent oscillation during overload.
Stability is achieved with ≥0.47µF ceramic output capacitance; no ESR requirements apply. The device delivers 150mA continuous output while maintaining <8 µA quiescent current across 6V–40V input and zero-to-full-load conditions - enabling operation directly from automotive or industrial 12V/24V/36V batteries without pre-regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±2% - ensures compatible logic-level supply for MCU peripherals without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 40V - supports direct connection to automotive batteries (12V/24V), industrial 24V/36V rails, and backup LiFePO₄ stacks. |
| Quiescent Current | 4.4–8 µA at IOUT = 0–1mA, VIN = 6–40V - enables >10-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes powered by CR2032 or AA cells. |
| Dropout Voltage | 600–850 mV at 150mA - allows regulation down to VIN = 5.85V, supporting operation through deep automotive cranking transients. |
| Load Regulation | 0.005–0.01 %/mA - maintains <1.5mV output shift from 100µA to 150mA, critical for precision ADC reference supplies. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C activation with 20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| EN Thresholds | Falling: 1.26V; Rising: 1.48V - provides noise-immune enable control and clean startup sequencing in noisy environments. |
Pinout & Package
MP2013AGQ-5-Z uses a thermally enhanced QFN8 (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; the exposed pad must be soldered to a dedicated ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.5V–40V unregulated input; requires ≥1µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 2 (EN) | Enable Control | Active-high logic input; pulls internal bias off when <1.26V, reducing supply current to <3µA in shutdown. |
| 3 & 6 & 7 (NC) | No Connection | Unused pins; may be left floating or tied to GND to improve thermal conduction from die to PCB. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground Reference | Main signal and power return; must connect to same ground plane as exposed thermal pad (Pin 4). |
| 5 (FB) | Feedback Input | Internally connected to 5V divider; floats in fixed-output version - no external components required. |
| 8 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 5V; requires ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitor directly at pin for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | As low as 4.4 µA at no load - extends battery runtime in IoT edge nodes and portable medical devices. |
| Wide input voltage range | 2.5V to 40V - eliminates need for upstream buck converter in 12V/24V/36V industrial systems. |
| Low-value ceramic capacitor stability | Stable with ≥0.47 µF X5R/X7R output cap - reduces BOM cost and board area vs. traditional LDOs requiring ≥10µF tantalum. |
| Integrated fault protection | Current limiting (180–400 mA) + thermal shutdown (150°C) - enables robust operation in unattended equipment without external monitoring. |
| Precision output accuracy | ±2% over -40°C to +125°C junction temperature - ensures reliable logic-level compliance across automotive and industrial temperature ranges. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS7B6750QPWPRQ1 | Higher quiescent current (15 µA), wider temp range (-40°C to +150°C), AEC-Q100 qualified | Automotive-grade qualification required; less suitable for battery life-critical designs | Select when AEC-Q100 compliance and extended temperature margin outweigh quiescent current penalty. |
| Analog Devices ADM7172ACPZ-5-R7 | Lower dropout (175mV @ 150mA), higher IQ (250 µA), 20V max input | Requires pre-regulation for >20V inputs; better for low-VIN, high-efficiency apps | Choose for 3.3V/5V systems with VIN < 15V where minimal dropout dominates design priority. |
Compared with TPS7B6750QPWPRQ1 and ADM7172ACPZ-5-R7, MP2013AGQ-5-Z uniquely balances ultra-low IQ (<8 µA), 40V input tolerance, and production-ready QFN8 packaging - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, long-life industrial and automotive auxiliary rails where input voltage variability exceeds 20V.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 5V output?
The MP2013AGQ-5-Z requires input voltage ≥5.62V to maintain regulation at 150mA load, based on its maximum dropout voltage of 850mV. At lighter loads, regulation is maintained down to 5.1V (600mV dropout). Below 5.1V, the output follows the input minus dropout, entering pass-through mode.
Can the EN pin be left unconnected for automatic startup?
Yes - connecting EN directly to IN enables automatic startup. The internal EN threshold (1.48V rising) ensures reliable turn-on even with slow-rising input rails such as those from battery chargers or soft-start DC/DC outputs. No pull-up resistor is needed.
Is an external feedforward capacitor required for stable operation?
No - the MP2013AGQ-5-Z is stable with only a ≥0.47µF ceramic output capacitor. A 22nF feedforward capacitor across the top feedback resistor (in adjustable versions) reduces output noise but is unnecessary for fixed 5V operation and does not affect stability.
Does the device require a minimum load current to maintain regulation?
No - the MP2013AGQ-5-Z regulates accurately from zero load to 150mA. Its bandgap reference and error amplifier remain active at all load levels, and quiescent current remains within specification (4.4–8 µA) even with no output load.
How is thermal performance affected by NC pin connections?
Tying NC pins (3, 6, 7) to GND improves thermal conduction from the die to the PCB ground plane, lowering θJA by ~5–8°C/W in typical 4-layer layouts. This enhances safe operating area during sustained 150mA operation, especially in enclosed enclosures with limited airflow.
What is the recommended input capacitor value and type?
A 1µF to 10µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor is recommended between IN and GND, placed as close as possible to the IN pin. A 1µF capacitor suffices for basic stability; larger values (e.g., 4.7µF) improve line transient response and reduce input ripple coupling.
Is reverse voltage protection integrated?
No - the MP2013AGQ-5-Z lacks internal reverse-voltage blocking. If output voltage may exceed input (e.g., backup battery scenarios), an external Schottky diode must be added in series with the IN pin to prevent reverse current flow through the internal PMOS body diode.
