Product details
Overview
MP2013GG-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a 40V-input, 150mA low-dropout linear regulator with 3.2µA quiescent current, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and internal thermal shutdown-designed for ultra-low-power microcontrollers in battery-powered industrial sensors and automotive body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MP2013GG-Z datasheet, MP2013GG-Z pinout, MP2013GG-Z application, or MP2013GG-Z equivalent, this device supports fixed-output (e.g., 3.3V) and adjustable configurations, operates across –40°C to +125°C, and requires only ≥0.47µF ceramic output capacitance for stability.
Technical Context
The MP2013GG-Z implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling 620mV dropout at 150mA and stable regulation down to 2.5V input-critical for high-voltage battery systems where VIN may sag under load. Its feedback loop references a precision 1.215V internal bandgap, allowing accurate output setting via external resistive dividers.
Thermal protection activates at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis, and current limiting caps peak output at 270mA while maintaining 150mA continuous rating. The dual-input pin structure (IN1/IN2) isolates power path from internal logic biasing, improving noise immunity in noisy automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 40V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V/36V battery rails without pre-regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.2µA typical - enables >10-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes drawing <1µA standby current. |
| Output Current | 150mA continuous - sufficient for ARM Cortex-M0+ MCUs, CAN transceivers, and low-power RF modules. |
| Dropout Voltage | 620mV at 150mA - allows 3.3V output from 3.92V minimum input, preserving headroom in aging Li-ion cells. |
| Output Accuracy | ±2% over temperature - ensures ADC reference stability and analog sensor signal integrity without calibration. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C activation with 20°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during transient overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
| Package | QFN6 (2mm × 2mm, 0.65mm pitch) - compact footprint with exposed thermal pad for ≤80°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. |
Pinout & Package
MP2013GG-Z uses a QFN6 (2mm × 2mm) package with wettable flank leads and an exposed thermal pad that must be soldered to a dedicated GND copper pour for thermal and electrical performance. Pin 1 (IN1) is marked by a dot on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN1) | Main input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5V–40V; connects directly to battery or bulk rail; carries full load current. |
| 2 (IN2) | Internal logic bias supply | Must be tied to IN1; powers control circuitry independently of pass element to improve PSRR. |
| 3 & Exposed Pad (GND) | Power and signal ground reference | Exposed pad is electrically connected to GND; mandatory connection to large PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation. |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback voltage sense node | Internally regulated to 1.215V; used with external resistor divider to set adjustable output (1.215V–15V). |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated output voltage | Delivers up to 150mA; stable with ≥0.47µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor; no ESR requirements. |
| 6 (NC) | No-connect terminal | May be left floating or tied to GND to enhance thermal conduction from die to PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-quiescent-current LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B332MR-G | 3.3V fixed output only; 2.5µA IQ; 200mA current limit; SOT-25 package (higher θJA = 250°C/W). | Lacks adjustable option and wide 2.5V–40V input range; unsuitable for battery-sag scenarios below 3.3V. | Select when fixed 3.3V output suffices and board space permits larger thermal footprint. |
| Analog Devices ADM7172ACPZ-3.3-R7 | 3.3V fixed; 1.2µA IQ; 200mA; 200mV dropout; LFCSP-8 package; requires ≥2.2µF output cap. | Lower dropout and IQ but limited to 6.5V max input-requires pre-regulator in 12V/24V systems. | Prefer for ultra-low-noise analog subsystems where input voltage is tightly regulated and thermal budget is constrained. |
Compared with XC6210B332MR-G and ADM7172ACPZ-3.3-R7, MP2013GG-Z uniquely balances 40V input tolerance, sub-4µA quiescent current, and QFN6 thermal efficiency-making it optimal for unregulated high-voltage battery interfaces demanding long service life and robust fault handling.

FAQ
What output voltages does MP2013GG-Z support?
The MP2013GG-Z is the QFN6-packaged version of the adjustable-output MP2013. It supports outputs from 1.215V to 15V using an external resistor divider on the FB pin. Fixed-output variants (e.g., MP2013GQ-33) exist but are distinct part numbers-not configurable via FB on MP2013GG-Z.
Can MP2013GG-Z operate with a 2.5V input and 3.3V output?
No. With a 3.3V output target, the minimum input is VOUT + VDROPOUT = 3.3V + 0.62V = 3.92V at 150mA. At 2.5V input, the device cannot regulate 3.3V; however, it can deliver lower outputs (e.g., 1.8V) if configured via FB divider and loaded within dropout margin.
Is an input capacitor required for MP2013GG-Z?
Yes. A 1µF–10µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor between IN1 and GND is mandatory for stability and transient response. Smaller values (<1µF) risk oscillation; larger values (>10µF) improve line regulation but increase inrush current during startup.
How is thermal performance affected by the exposed pad connection?
The exposed pad is electrically and thermally connected to GND. Soldering it to a ≥100mm² solid copper pour reduces θJA from 80°C/W to ~45°C/W. Leaving it unconnected degrades thermal performance by >35°C/W and risks thermal shutdown under 100mA load at 70°C ambient.
Does MP2013GG-Z include reverse-voltage protection?
No. The internal PMOS pass transistor has a body diode conducting from OUT to IN1 when VOUT > VIN. In backup-battery or hot-swap scenarios, this causes uncontrolled reverse current. An external Schottky diode (anode to IN1, cathode to VIN source) is required to block reverse conduction.
What is the maximum allowable output capacitance?
No upper limit is specified. However, capacitors >10µF may slow startup time and increase inrush current. For fast wake-up applications (e.g., IoT sensors), keep COUT ≤4.7µF. Larger values (e.g., 10µF) improve load-transient suppression but require careful inrush limiting.
Can MP2013GG-Z replace MP2013GQ in the same PCB layout?
No. MP2013GG-Z (QFN6) and MP2013GQ (QFN8) have different pinouts, land patterns, and thermal pad dimensions. QFN6 uses 6 pins in 2×3 arrangement; QFN8 uses 8 pins in 3×3 layout. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign and requalification.
