Product details
Overview
MP2015AGG-33-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a fixed-output 3.3V, 150mA low-quiescent-current linear regulator in QFN-6 (2mm×2mm) package, designed for high-input-voltage battery-powered systems. It operates from 2.5V to 24V input, delivers ±2% output accuracy, maintains 700mV dropout at full load, and draws only 4.4–10µA quiescent current - enabling ultra-low-power operation in portable microcontroller subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the MP2015AGG-33-P datasheet, MP2015AGG-33-P pinout, MP2015AGG-33-P application, or MP2015AGG-33-P equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3V fixed output with tight tolerance, thermal shutdown and current limiting protection, compatibility with ≥0.47µF ceramic output capacitors, and suitability for space-constrained, wide-input industrial sensors and BLE peripherals.
Technical Context
The MP2015AGG-33-P uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout and reverse-voltage immunity via external diode protection. Its internal feedback reference is trimmed to 1.215V, and the fixed 3.3V output is achieved using an integrated resistor divider (R1_IN = 1.72MΩ, R2_IN = 1MΩ), eliminating external FB components.
It integrates EN control logic (EN rising threshold: 1.32–1.64V), thermal shutdown at 150–165°C with 20°C hysteresis, and current limiting that caps peak output at 160–400mA - exceeding its 150mA continuous rating while ensuring safe fault recovery under overload or short-circuit conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 24V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V battery rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% - meets standard I/O voltage requirements for ARM Cortex-M, ESP32, and Nordic nRF52 series MCUs. |
| Quiescent Current | 4.4–10µA (0–1mA load) - enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT endpoints. |
| Dropout Voltage | 700mV at 150mA - allows regulation down to VIN = 4.0V, critical for LiFePO₄ or 3S Li-ion discharge tails. |
| Output Capacitor | ≥0.47µF ceramic (X5R/X7R) - eliminates need for large electrolytics, reducing board area and cost. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150–165°C with 20°C hysteresis - provides self-recovering overtemperature protection without external circuitry. |
| PSRR @ 100Hz | 58dB - suppresses low-frequency ripple from switching pre-regulators or noisy DC-DC sources. |
Pinout & Package
MP2015AGG-33-P is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-6 (2mm × 2mm) package with exposed pad (must be soldered to GND plane for thermal and electrical performance). Pin 1 is marked by a dot or chamfered corner per JEDEC MO-229 VEEC-2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.5–24V unregulated input; requires ≥1µF X5R/X7R ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 2 (EN) | Enable Control | Active-high logic input; ties to IN for automatic startup; 1.32–1.64V threshold ensures robust noise margin in automotive environments. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary ground return; must be connected to PCB ground plane and tied to exposed pad for thermal dissipation and stability. |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback Input | Internally connected to fixed 3.3V divider; may be left floating - no external resistors required for this variant. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 3.3V; requires ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitor directly at pin for loop stability and transient response. |
| 6 (NC) | No Connection | Not internally bonded; may be left open or grounded to improve thermal conduction from exposed pad. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 4.4µA typical at zero load - extends shelf life and runtime in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Wide input range support | 2.5V–24V operation - eliminates need for separate 5V intermediate rail in 12V/24V industrial equipment. |
| Low-ESR capacitor compatibility | Stable with ≥0.47µF ceramic output cap - avoids costly tantalum or polymer capacitors and reduces BOM count. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown + current limiting - prevents latch-up or destruction during sustained overload or PCB trace faults. |
| Fixed 3.3V precision output | ±2% accuracy across -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable MCU core/peripheral voltage compliance without calibration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS7A0533PDBVR | 3.3V fixed, 200mA, 25µA IQ, SOT-23-5 package | Higher quiescent current (25µA vs. 4.4µA); larger footprint; no EN pin in base variant | Select when higher output current headroom is needed and board space permits SOT-23-5; avoid for <5µA standby targets. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MP2015AGG-33-P to regulate 3.3V at 150mA?
The device requires at least 4.0V input to maintain regulation at full 150mA load, based on its 700mV dropout specification. Below 4.0V, output voltage drops linearly with input; operation below 2.5V is prohibited per absolute maximum ratings.
Can MP2015AGG-33-P be used without an external output capacitor?
No. A minimum 0.47µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor is mandatory at the OUT pin for loop stability and transient response. Omitting it causes oscillation and potential damage; larger values (1–10µF) improve load-step performance.
Is the EN pin required for basic operation?
No - tying EN directly to IN enables automatic startup with no external control. However, leaving EN unconnected is not recommended; it must be actively driven high or low to avoid undefined states and ensure predictable power sequencing.
Does MP2015AGG-33-P require a feed-forward capacitor for noise reduction?
A 22nF feed-forward capacitor across the top FB resistor is optional and only beneficial in high-resolution ADC applications (>12-bit). For standard digital loads like MCUs or radios, the inherent 58dB PSRR at 100Hz is sufficient without added components.
How is thermal performance affected if the exposed pad is not soldered to GND?
Without soldering the exposed pad to a thermal pad on the PCB, θJA rises from 80°C/W to >150°C/W, causing junction temperature to exceed 125°C at just ~50mA load - triggering thermal shutdown. Full thermal derating requires proper pad connection and ≥1cm² copper area.
What happens during reverse-voltage conditions (VOUT > VIN)?
The internal PMOS body diode conducts uncontrolled current from OUT to IN, risking damage. An external Schottky diode (cathode to IN, anode to GND) is mandatory in backup-battery or hot-swap configurations to block reverse current.
Is MP2015AGG-33-P compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - it is rated for standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260°C. The QFN-6 package uses matte tin plating and complies with RoHS, REACH, and halogen-free standards per MPS quality documentation.
