Product details
Overview
MPQ2013AGQ-25-AEC1-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a 40V-input, 2.5V fixed-output AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified linear regulator in QFN-8 (3mm×3mm) package, delivering up to 150mA with 3.3µA quiescent current and 620mV dropout at full load. It powers ultra-low-power microcontrollers in automotive body electronics and battery-backed industrial sensors where input voltage may reach 40V from alternator transients or 24V systems.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ2013AGQ-25-AEC1-P datasheet, MPQ2013AGQ-25-AEC1-P pinout, MPQ2013AGQ-25-AEC1-P application, or MPQ2013AGQ-25-AEC1-P equivalent, this device offers verified AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, ±2% output accuracy over -40°C to +125°C ambient, thermal shutdown at 150°C, and EN-controlled startup - critical for automotive power domain sequencing and low-power wake-up circuits.
Technical Context
The MPQ2013AGQ-25-AEC1-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, with internal resistor divider setting nominal 2.5V output (±2% tolerance).
EN pin logic thresholds (1.32–1.64V rising, 1.1–1.42V falling) support direct connection to 3.3V/5V MCU GPIOs or resistive UVLO configuration. Shutdown current is ≤9µA, and thermal shutdown includes 20°C hysteresis for reliable recovery after overload or ambient temperature excursions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 40V - supports 12V/24V automotive batteries including load dump transients up to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2% - calibrated for use with 2.5V ADC references, CAN transceivers, or low-voltage MCUs like S32K1xx. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.3µA typical - enables >10-year battery life in always-on vehicle modules (e.g., door module wake-up circuitry). |
| Dropout Voltage | 620mV at 150mA - allows regulation down to VIN = 3.12V, sustaining operation during cold-crank events (e.g., 6.5V minimum battery). |
| Output Current Limit | 160–400mA - provides short-circuit robustness while limiting thermal stress during fault conditions in confined enclosures. |
| Junction Temp Range | -40°C to +150°C - validated for under-hood placement per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (TA = -40°C to +125°C). |
| PSRR @ 100Hz | 58dB - suppresses alternator ripple and switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
Pinout & Package
MPQ2013AGQ-25-AEC1-P is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-8 (3mm × 3mm, 0.75mm height) package with exposed thermal pad. The pad must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for thermal performance (θJA = 48°C/W, θJC = 11°C/W).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN | Main input supply connection (2.5V–40V); requires ≥1µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| 2 | EN | Enable control: HIGH ≥1.48V enables regulation; LOW ≤1.26V disables output and reduces IQ to ≤9µA. |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference; must connect to same low-impedance ground plane as exposed thermal pad. |
| 4 | FB | Feedback input - internally connected to 2.5V divider; leave floating for fixed-output operation. |
| 5 | OUT | Regulated 2.5V output; stable with ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitor - no ESR requirement. |
| 6,7,8 | NC | No-connect pins; may be tied to GND to improve thermal conduction without electrical impact. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 Qualification | Validated for automotive applications with TA = −40°C to +125°C and lifetime reliability testing per stress test conditions. |
| Low-IQ Operation | 3.3µA typical quiescent current enables direct connection to vehicle battery without excessive parasitic drain. |
| Stable with Small Ceramic Capacitors | Supports ≥0.47µF X5R/X7R output cap - eliminates need for large tantalum or aluminum electrolytics in space-constrained modules. |
| Integrated Fault Protection | Thermal shutdown (150°C trip, 20°C hysteresis) and current limiting (270mA typical peak) prevent damage during sustained overload. |
| Wide Input Range | 2.5V–40V operation covers start-stop systems, 12V/24V architectures, and transient immunity up to 42V absolute max. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS7B6750QDDARQ1 | 5V fixed output only; 2.5µA IQ; 40V max input; ±1% accuracy; QFN-8 package | Requires external resistor divider for 2.5V output - adds BOM cost and layout area; lacks integrated 2.5V option | Select if higher accuracy (±1%) and lower IQ outweigh need for dedicated 2.5V variant and added external components. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for MPQ2013AGQ-25-AEC1-P?
The absolute maximum input voltage is +42V, but continuous operation is specified up to +40V. Exceeding 40V risks permanent damage even for brief transients unless explicitly validated per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a test conditions. Designers should verify clamping behavior with external TVS diodes for 42V+ surge immunity.
Can MPQ2013AGQ-25-AEC1-P be used without an output capacitor?
No. A minimum 0.47µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor is required on the OUT pin for stability. Omitting it causes oscillation and potential thermal runaway. Larger values (1–10µF) improve load transient response and reduce output noise, especially in ADC-supply applications.
How does the EN pin behave during power-up and brownout?
The EN pin has hysteresis: rising threshold is 1.32–1.64V, falling threshold is 1.1–1.42V. This prevents chatter during slow-rising supplies. When EN is pulled low, output shuts down and quiescent current drops to ≤9µA. For automatic startup, tie EN directly to IN.
Is external reverse-voltage protection required?
Yes. The internal PMOS body diode conducts from OUT to IN if VOUT > VIN (e.g., backup battery scenario), with no current limit. An external Schottky diode (anode to IN, cathode to OUT) or ideal diode controller is mandatory to prevent destructive reverse current and IC failure.
What is the thermal performance difference between QFN-6 and QFN-8 packages?
QFN-8 (3mm×3mm) has θJA = 48°C/W vs QFN-6 (2mm×2mm) at 80°C/W. Under identical 150mA load and PCB layout, QFN-8 runs ~48°C cooler - critical for AEC-Q100 Grade 1 operation at +125°C ambient. The exposed pad must be fully soldered to a thermal plane in both packages.
Does MPQ2013AGQ-25-AEC1-P support adjustable output voltage?
No. MPQ2013AGQ-25-AEC1-P is factory-trimmed for fixed 2.5V output. Adjustable versions (e.g., MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1) use the FB pin with external resistor dividers. Attempting to modify the fixed version's output alters regulation accuracy and voids AEC-Q100 qualification.
What is the guaranteed output voltage accuracy over temperature?
For QFN-8 packages like MPQ2013AGQ-25-AEC1-P, output voltage is guaranteed ±2% over -40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. At +25°C, typical accuracy tightens to ±0.5% (2.475V–2.525V), supporting high-precision analog interfaces without post-calibration.
