Product details
Overview
MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a 40V-input, 150mA AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified linear regulator with fixed 1.8V output, 3.3µA quiescent current, and 620mV dropout at full load-designed for automotive body electronics, ultra-low-power microcontrollers, and battery-backed sensor nodes requiring stable 1.8V rail under wide input voltage transients.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-P datasheet, MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-P pinout, MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-P application, or MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-P equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2% output accuracy (QFN-8), thermal shutdown at 150°C, EN pin logic threshold (1.32–1.64V), and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors ≥0.47µF.
Technical Context
The MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-P uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout and reverse-voltage robustness when paired with external input diode protection. Its internal feedback reference is trimmed to 1.215V, supporting precise 1.8V regulation via factory-set resistor divider.
It integrates overcurrent limiting (160–400mA trip range), thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis, and UVLO-independent enable control-allowing reliable operation across automotive cold-crank (4.5V) to load-dump (40V) conditions while maintaining sub-10µA ground current below 1mA load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 40V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V automotive batteries including cold-crank and load-dump transients. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±2% - factory-trimmed for precision powering of low-voltage MCUs and memory interfaces. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.3µA typical - enables >10-year battery life in always-on vehicle modules with <100µA system standby budgets. |
| Dropout Voltage | 620mV at 150mA - sustains regulation down to VIN = 2.42V, critical for deep discharge operation in 3.3V backup systems. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C junction activation - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking in sealed automotive enclosures. |
| Package | QFN-8 (3mm × 3mm, 0.65mm pitch) - exposes thermal pad for direct PCB copper plane attachment, achieving θJA = 48°C/W. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient) - qualified for engine bay, passenger compartment, and ADAS ECU power rails. |
Pinout & Package
MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-P is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-8 (3mm × 3mm) package with exposed thermal pad. The package requires soldering the exposed pad to a dedicated PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance and electrical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Main power input | Accepts 2.5–40V supply; must be decoupled with ≥1µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor close to pin. |
| 2 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; 1.32–1.64V rising threshold enables regulation; <0.1µA leakage allows high-impedance pull-up. |
| 3, 6, 7 (NC) | No-connect terminals | Internally unconnected; may be tied to GND for improved thermal conduction without functional impact. |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback reference node | Internally connected to 1.215V reference; left floating for fixed-output operation; used with external divider for adjustable versions. |
| 5 (GND) | Analog/digital ground | Primary ground return; must be shorted to exposed thermal pad and system ground plane to ensure stability and thermal safety. |
| 8 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.8V ±2%; stable with ≥0.47µF ceramic output capacitor; no electrolytic or tantalum required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3.3µA typical - reduces parasitic drain in always-on vehicle modules, extending battery service life beyond 10 years. |
| Wide input voltage range | 2.5V to 40V - eliminates need for pre-regulator in 12V/24V automotive systems facing ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (load dump). |
| Integrated fault protection | Current limit (160–400mA) + thermal shutdown (150°C) - prevents latch-up or damage during short-circuit or thermal overload events. |
| Stable with small output capacitor | 0.47µF minimum ceramic - enables compact layout in space-constrained ECUs and reduces BOM cost vs. traditional LDOs requiring ≥10µF. |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Grade 1 stress testing - validated for automotive temperature, vibration, and lifetime reliability per JESD47 and AEC-Q100 Rev H. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-quiescent-current linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7B8133QDGNRQ1 | 3.3V fixed output only; 2.5µA IQ; 300mV dropout at 150mA; QFN-8 package | Not suitable for 1.8V systems; lacks adjustable option; higher PSRR (70dB @ 100Hz) | Select only if 3.3V rail is required and lower dropout is prioritized over voltage flexibility. |
| NCP160AMX180TBG | 1.8V fixed; 500nA IQ; 150mA; SOT-563 package; no AEC-Q100 grade | Lower IQ but no automotive qualification; smaller package limits thermal headroom above 85°C ambient | Use in non-automotive portable equipment where footprint and ultra-low IQ outweigh qualification needs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-P?
The absolute maximum input voltage is +42V, but recommended operating range is 2.5V to 40V per datasheet specifications. Operation above 40V risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings and may trigger internal protection circuits or cause permanent damage.
Can MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-P be used without an external output capacitor?
No. A minimum 0.47µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor is required on the OUT pin for stability. Omitting it causes oscillation and regulation failure. Larger values (e.g., 4.7µF) improve load transient response and reduce output noise.
Does the EN pin require a pull-up resistor for automatic startup?
Yes. Connecting EN directly to IN provides automatic startup. If controlled externally, a pull-up to IN or regulated rail is required; EN has only 0.1µA leakage, so high-value resistors (e.g., 1MΩ) are acceptable without significant current penalty.
How does thermal shutdown behave during overload conditions?
When junction temperature reaches 150°C, the device shuts down completely-turning off the pass transistor and reducing supply current to <3µA. It automatically restarts once die temperature falls by ≥20°C (hysteresis), preventing thermal cycling damage.
Is reverse voltage protection built-in?
No. The internal PMOS pass element contains a body diode that conducts from OUT to IN if VOUT > VIN. External reverse-voltage protection (e.g., Schottky diode at IN) is mandatory in backup-battery or dual-supply configurations to prevent destructive reverse current.
What is the output voltage accuracy over temperature and load?
For MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-P (QFN-8), output voltage is specified as ±2% over −40°C to +125°C ambient and 0–150mA load. At +25°C and zero load, accuracy tightens to ±1.5% (1.773V to 1.827V), verified in production test.
Can the FB pin be used to adjust the output voltage of this fixed-version part?
Yes. Though optimized for 1.8V, the FB pin remains accessible. Adding an external resistor divider between OUT and FB allows fine-tuning or raising the output-accounting for internal 1.215V reference and known internal R1/R2 values (1.058MΩ/1MΩ for 1.8V version).
