Product details
Overview
MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified low-quiescent-current linear regulator in QFN-6 (2mm×2mm) package, designed for automotive and industrial power rails requiring stable 3.3V output at up to 150mA. It operates from 2.5V to 40V input, delivers ±4% output accuracy, features 3.3µA quiescent current, 620mV dropout at full load, and integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-Z datasheet, MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-Z pinout, MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-Z application, or MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-Z equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade reliability data, and real-world design guidance for battery-supplied ECUs, sensor nodes, and ultra-low-power microcontroller subsystems.
Technical Context
The MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-Z implements a PMOS-based LDO architecture with internal feedback reference (1.215V), enabling fixed 3.3V output without external resistors. Its EN pin supports logic-controlled startup with 1.26V falling threshold and 0.1µA input leakage, allowing direct connection to high-voltage battery rails via resistor divider for UVLO configuration.
Thermal protection activates at 150°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis, and current limiting engages at 160–400mA depending on output voltage and input conditions. The device remains stable with ≥0.47µF ceramic output capacitance and achieves 58dB PSRR at 100Hz under 10mA load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 40V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V automotive batteries and industrial HV rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±4% - specified over -40°C to +125°C ambient, enabling use in engine bay and chassis-mounted modules. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.3µA typical - enables >10-year battery life in always-on vehicle telematics and tire pressure sensors. |
| Dropout Voltage | 620mV at 150mA - allows regulation down to VIN = 3.92V, critical for cold-cranking scenarios where battery dips to 6V. |
| Output Current | 150mA continuous - sufficient for powering CAN transceivers, MCU cores, and analog front-ends in compact automotive modules. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C activation with 20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
| Package | QFN-6 (2mm×2mm, 0.65mm pitch) - exposes thermal pad for direct PCB copper plane attachment, achieving θJA = 80°C/W. |
Pinout & Package
MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-Z uses a thermally enhanced QFN-6 (2mm×2mm) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or chamfered corner; the exposed pad must be soldered to a dedicated ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Main input supply connection | Accepts 2.5V–40V; requires ≥1µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for transient immunity. |
| 2 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; 1.26V falling threshold enables UVLO configuration using external resistor divider on battery rail. |
| 3 & 4 (GND) | Ground reference and thermal path | Both pin 3 and the exposed pad must connect to same low-impedance ground plane to ensure thermal dissipation and noise rejection. |
| 5 (FB) | Feedback reference node | Internally connected to 3.3V divider; left floating for fixed-output operation; used only when adjusting output externally. |
| 6 (OUT) | Regulated output terminal | Delivers 3.3V ±4%; requires ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitor directly at pin for stability; supports feedforward cap for noise reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for -40°C to +125°C ambient operation with full parametric testing across temperature and lifetime stress conditions. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3.3µA typical - reduces standby power loss to <13.2µW at 4V input, extending battery runtime in always-on systems. |
| Stable with minimal output capacitance | Guaranteed stability with ≥0.47µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor - eliminates need for large electrolytics in space-constrained modules. |
| Integrated fault protection | Combines current limiting (160–400mA trip), thermal shutdown (150°C), and EN-controlled shutdown (<3µA sleep current). |
| Wide input range with low dropout | Operates from 2.5V up to 40V while maintaining regulation at 620mV dropout - supports start-stop systems and 24V industrial supplies. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7B6733QPWPRQ1 | Higher IQ (15µA), wider temp range (-40°C to +150°C), same 3.3V fixed output and QFN-6 package. | Offers higher thermal margin but consumes ~4.5× more quiescent current - less suitable for multi-year battery life targets. | Select when junction temperature exceeds 125°C or when TI's automotive qualification ecosystem is preferred. |
| MCP1703T-3302E/MB | Lower IQ (1.6µA), lower max input (16V), SOIC-8 package, ±2% accuracy. | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and 40V input capability - unsuitable for 24V commercial vehicles or direct battery connection. | Select for cost-sensitive non-automotive industrial applications with ≤16V input and no automotive compliance requirement. |
Compared with TPS7B6733QPWPRQ1 and MCP1703T-3302E/MB, MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-Z uniquely balances AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance, 40V input support, and sub-4µA quiescent current in a 2mm×2mm footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, long-life automotive modules operating directly from battery rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-Z?
The absolute maximum input voltage is +42V, but the recommended operating range is 2.5V to 40V. Exceeding 40V risks violating safe operating area limits, especially under high ambient temperatures or heavy load. For 24V automotive systems with load-dump transients, external TVS clamping is advised before the IN pin.
Does MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-Z require an external feedback resistor network for 3.3V output?
No. The "AGG" suffix denotes the fixed-output version; the internal resistor divider sets VOUT to 3.3V. The FB pin is internally connected and may be left unconnected. External resistors are only needed if adjusting output voltage beyond factory-trimmed values.
How does thermal performance differ between QFN-6 and QFN-8 packages?
QFN-6 has θJA = 80°C/W versus QFN-8's 48°C/W due to smaller copper area and thermal pad size. At 150mA and 40V input, QFN-6 dissipates ~5.6W - requiring ≥4cm² of 2oz copper pour to maintain TJ < 125°C. QFN-8 reduces required copper area by ~40% for equivalent thermal rise.
Can MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-Z be used with input voltages below 2.5V?
No. Operation below 2.5V violates the specified minimum input voltage and causes undefined behavior, including failure to regulate or erratic EN pin response. For sub-2.5V inputs, consider buck-boost regulators or specialized low-VIN LDOs not covered by this device's qualification.
Is reverse voltage protection built-in?
No. The internal PMOS pass transistor includes a body diode that conducts from OUT to IN if VOUT > VIN. This can cause destructive reverse current during backup battery scenarios. An external Schottky diode in series with the IN pin is required for reverse polarity and reverse voltage protection.
What is the significance of the "-AEC1-Z" suffix in the part number?
"AEC1" indicates AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (−40°C to +125°C ambient), and "Z" denotes tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 units per reel). This suffix confirms full automotive stress testing, lot traceability, and RoHS-compliant green packaging - essential for Tier 1 automotive procurement.
