Product details
Overview
MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified 40V input, 150mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 1.8V output, 3.3µA quiescent current, and 620mV dropout at full load - designed for automotive body electronics, battery-powered microcontrollers, and industrial sensors operating from high-voltage batteries.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z datasheet, MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z pinout, MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z application, or MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (QFN-8), thermal shutdown behavior, ±2% output accuracy, EN threshold specs, and real-world startup response time - all critical for automotive power rail design and long-life embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low quiescent current (3.3µA typ.) and stable operation down to 2.5V input while maintaining regulation up to 40V. Its internal feedback reference is trimmed to 1.215V, supporting precise 1.8V output via factory-set resistor divider.
It integrates thermal shutdown (150°C trip, 20°C hysteresis), current limiting (160–400mA peak), and EN-controlled enable/disable logic with 1.26V falling threshold. The device operates across –40°C to +150°C junction temperature and requires only ≥0.47µF ceramic output capacitance for stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 40V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V/36V automotive batteries and industrial DC rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±2% - factory-trimmed for precision powering of low-voltage MCUs, sensors, and RF ICs. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.3µA typical - enables >10-year battery life in always-on automotive modules (e.g., door controllers, seat position sensors). |
| Dropout Voltage | 620mV at 150mA - allows regulation from 2.42V input, critical for cold-crank scenarios in 12V systems. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C trip with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking in enclosed automotive enclosures. |
| Package | QFN-8 (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad - provides 48°C/W θJA for reliable 150mA operation at +85°C ambient. |
| EN Threshold | 1.26V (falling), 1.48V (rising) - compatible with standard CMOS logic and supports UVLO implementation via external resistor divider. |
| Startup Time | 1.1ms (10mA load, 6.8µF output cap) - ensures fast wake-up for CAN/LIN node power sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-8 (3mm × 3mm) package with exposed thermal pad. The pad must be soldered to a dedicated ground plane for optimal thermal performance and EMI suppression.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN | Main input supply connection (2.5V–40V); requires local 1µF X5R/X7R ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| 2 | EN | Active-high enable input; <1.26V disables regulator, reducing supply current to <3µA for system sleep modes. |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be tied to same plane as exposed thermal pad for thermal and noise integrity. |
| 4 | FB | Feedback input (1.215V nominal); left floating for fixed-output versions - not connected externally in this variant. |
| 5 | OUT | Regulated 1.8V output; stable with ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitor; no ESR requirements. |
| 6–8 | NC | No-connect pins; may be grounded to improve thermal conduction or left open per layout constraints. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive applications requiring operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient (junction up to +150°C). |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3.3µA typical enables >10-year runtime on coin-cell or LiSOCl₂ batteries in telematics and tire pressure sensors. |
| Low-dropout operation | 620mV dropout at 150mA allows uninterrupted 1.8V supply during automotive cold-crank (down to ~6.5V battery). |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown + current limiting prevent latch-up or damage during short-circuit or overtemperature events. |
| Stable with small ceramics | Supports ≥0.47µF X5R/X7R output capacitors - eliminates need for large, costly tantalum or aluminum electrolytics. |
| EN-controlled sequencing | 1.26V EN falling threshold enables precise power-up/down coordination with MCU GPIO or system supervisor ICs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current for MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z?
The MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z is rated for 150mA continuous output current in QFN-8 package at TA ≤ +85°C with proper PCB thermal design. Peak current limit is 160–400mA depending on input voltage and thermal conditions, but sustained operation above 150mA risks thermal shutdown due to its 2.08W max power dissipation limit.
Does MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z require an external feedback resistor network?
No. As a fixed-output variant, the FB pin is internally connected to the 1.8V regulation circuitry and must be left floating. External resistors are only required for adjustable-output versions (e.g., MPQ2013AGQ). Adding external components to FB on this part may disrupt regulation accuracy or cause instability.
Can MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z operate from a 42V input transient?
No. The absolute maximum input voltage is +42V, but continuous operation above 40V violates the recommended operating condition and risks permanent damage. Automotive load-dump transients must be clamped externally (e.g., TVS diode) before the IN pin to ensure VIN stays within 2.5V–40V range during normal operation.
How does the EN pin behave during power-up and brown-out conditions?
The EN pin has 1.26V falling and 1.48V rising thresholds with hysteresis. When VIN rises, EN must exceed 1.48V to enable regulation; if VIN drops causing EN to fall below 1.26V, the device shuts down with <3µA supply current. This prevents erratic behavior during slow-rising or noisy supply rails.
Is the exposed thermal pad electrically connected to GND?
Yes. The exposed pad on the QFN-8 package is internally connected to the GND pin and must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane. Failure to connect it compromises thermal performance (increasing θJA by >20°C/W) and may cause premature thermal shutdown or reduced long-term reliability.
What output capacitor value is required for stability?
A minimum 0.47µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor is required between OUT and GND for stability. Recommended values are 1µF–10µF; larger values improve load transient response. Tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors are not recommended due to ESR and temperature drift issues.
Does MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z support reverse voltage protection?
No. The internal PMOS pass transistor includes a body diode that conducts from OUT to IN if VOUT > VIN - potentially damaging the IC or upstream source. An external Schottky diode (cathode to IN, anode to GND) or ideal diode controller is required for reverse-polarity or backup-battery scenarios.
