Product details
Overview
MP2015AGG-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a 24V-input, 150mA low-quiescent-current linear regulator in QFN-6 (2mm×2mm) package, featuring 2.5V–24V input range, 3.3µA quiescent current, 700mV dropout at 150mA, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting. It powers ultra-low-power microcontrollers in battery-backed industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MP2015AGG-P datasheet, MP2015AGG-P pinout, MP2015AGG-P application, or MP2015AGG-P equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at light load, stability with sub-1µF ceramic output capacitors, EN pin logic thresholds, FB reference voltage tolerance, and thermal resistance (θJA = 80°C/W) for compact PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MP2015AGG-P uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout and reverse-voltage blocking via its intrinsic body diode-though external protection is recommended when VOUT > VIN. Its feedback loop references a precision 1.215V bandgap, supporting both fixed-output (e.g., 3.3V) and adjustable configurations via external resistor divider.
It implements overcurrent limiting (trip point 160–400mA), thermal shutdown at 150–165°C with 20°C hysteresis, and operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. The EN pin enables logic-controlled on/off sequencing with 1.32–1.64V rising threshold and <0.1µA input current.
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. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.3µA - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell-powered IoT endpoints. |
| Output Current (Max) | 150mA - continuous rated current for QFN-6 package; sufficient for MCU + BLE SoC combinations. |
| Dropout Voltage | 700mV at 150mA - ensures regulation down to VIN = 4.0V when VOUT = 3.3V. |
| Output Accuracy | ±2% - tight tolerance reduces need for post-regulation trimming in precision analog subsystems. |
| FB Reference Voltage | 1.215V (±2.0%) - sets output via external resistive divider; enables 1.215V–15V adjustable range. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C activation - protects die during sustained overload or poor heatsinking; 20°C hysteresis prevents oscillation. |
| PSRR @ 100Hz | 58dB - suppresses low-frequency ripple from switching pre-regulators feeding the LDO. |
Pinout & Package
MP2015AGG-P is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-6 (2mm × 2mm) package with exposed pad soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal dissipation (θJA = 80°C/W). Pin 1 is marked by a dot or chamfered corner per JEDEC MO-229 standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.5V–24V unregulated input; requires ≥1µF X5R/X7R ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| 2 (EN) | Enable Control | Active-high logic input; 1.48V typical turn-on threshold; <0.1µA leakage enables direct MCU GPIO drive. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Power and signal return; must be connected to exposed pad and system ground plane for thermal and noise integrity. |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback Input | Senses regulated output via external resistor divider; internally biased to 1.215V reference. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable output; stable with ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitor; no ESR requirement. |
| 6 (NC) | No Connection | Internally unconnected; may be tied to GND to improve thermal conduction from die to PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ operation | 3.3µA quiescent current enables >10-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes. |

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 | 3.0µA IQ, 100mA max, SOT-25 package, no EN pin, ±2% accuracy | Lacks enable control and thermal shutdown; limited to simpler always-on loads | Choose only if EN and fault protection are unnecessary and board space permits SOT-25. |
| Analog Devices ADM7172ACPZ-3.3-R7 | 200mA, 15µA IQ, 200mV dropout at 200mA, LFCSP-8 package, ±0.8% accuracy | Higher IQ and cost; superior PSRR (70dB @ 100Hz); requires larger 2.2µF output cap | Select when ultra-low noise and tighter regulation outweigh battery life and BOM cost constraints. |

FAQ
What is the minimum output capacitor required for stability with MP2015AGG-P?
The MP2015AGG-P is stable with a minimum 0.47µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor on the output pin. This low-ESR requirement eliminates need for bulk electrolytic or specialized polymer capacitors, reducing BOM count and board area in space-constrained designs.
Does MP2015AGG-P support adjustable output voltage?
Yes-MP2015AGG-P is the adjustable version of the MP2015A family. Its FB pin is referenced to 1.215V, allowing output voltages from 1.215V to 15V using an external resistor divider. Fixed-output variants (e.g., MP2015AGG-33) use internal dividers and leave FB floating.
Can MP2015AGG-P operate with input voltage below 2.5V?
No-the absolute minimum input voltage is 2.5V per datasheet specifications. Operation below this risks improper biasing of internal circuitry and loss of regulation. For sub-2.5V inputs, consider dedicated low-VIN LDOs like MPS MP20041.
How does the EN pin behave during power-up?
The EN pin has a 1.48V typical rising threshold and 1.26V falling threshold, with hysteresis preventing chatter near the trip point. When left unconnected or tied to IN, the device powers up automatically; when driven low by a microcontroller GPIO, it enters shutdown with 3–9µA supply current.
Is the exposed thermal pad on MP2015AGG-P electrically connected?
Yes-the exposed pad is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a PCB ground plane. This connection provides the primary thermal path (θJC = 16°C/W) and improves EMI immunity; leaving it unconnected degrades thermal performance by >40°C/W.
What protection features are integrated into MP2015AGG-P?
MP2015AGG-P integrates overcurrent limiting (160–400mA trip), thermal shutdown (150–165°C), and safe-startup logic. It lacks reverse-voltage protection-external Schottky diode is recommended if VOUT may exceed VIN during battery backup or hot-swap conditions.
Does MP2015AGG-P require input capacitance?
Yes-a minimum 1µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor is required between IN and GND. Larger values (up to 10µF) improve line transient response and reduce high-frequency noise coupling into the regulator's control loop.
