Product details
Overview
MPQ2013AGQ-33-AEC1-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a 40V-input, 3.3V fixed-output linear regulator delivering up to 150mA with 3.3µA quiescent current, 620mV dropout at full load, ±2% output accuracy (QFN-8), and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive power rails. It powers ultra-low-power microcontrollers in battery-backed ADAS sensors and engine control modules.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ2013AGQ-33-AEC1-Z datasheet, MPQ2013AGQ-33-AEC1-Z pinout, MPQ2013AGQ-33-AEC1-Z application, or MPQ2013AGQ-33-AEC1-Z equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (QFN-8), validated thermal shutdown (150°C), confirmed EN threshold (1.26V–1.48V), and real-world startup response (1.8ms @ 3.3V/10mA).
Technical Context
The MPQ2013AGQ-33-AEC1-Z uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout and reverse-voltage resilience via external diode protection. Its internal 1.215V reference feeds a precision error amplifier that regulates output by adjusting gate drive to maintain VOUT within ±2% across -40°C to +125°C ambient.
EN pin logic controls startup/shutdown with hysteresis (1.26V fall / 1.48V rise); shutdown reduces supply current to <3µA. Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis, and current limiting caps peak output at 270mA to protect against overload.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 40V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V/36V automotive batteries without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% - meets I/O voltage requirements of ARM Cortex-M0+ MCUs and CAN transceivers. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.3µA typical - enables >10-year battery life in always-on telematics modules with 220mAh coin cells. |
| Dropout Voltage | 620mV at 150mA - sustains regulation down to VIN = 3.92V, critical for cold-crank scenarios in 12V systems. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C junction activation - prevents permanent damage during sustained 150mA loads on minimal PCB copper. |
| Load Regulation | 0.015%/mA - ensures <15mV output shift from no-load to full 150mA, preserving ADC reference stability. |
| PSRR @ 100Hz | 58dB - suppresses alternator ripple and ignition noise before reaching sensitive analog front-ends. |
Pinout & Package
MPQ2013AGQ-33-AEC1-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-8 (3mm × 3mm) package with exposed thermal pad. The 0.65mm pitch, 8-pin layout prioritizes thermal dissipation and compact routing in space-constrained automotive ECUs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Main input supply | Accepts 2.5–40V; requires ≥1µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor close to pin for transient immunity. |
| 2 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic; 1.26V–1.48V hysteresis prevents chatter during slow-rising battery rails. |
| 3 & 6 & 7 (NC) | No-connect terminals | May be tied to GND to improve thermal conduction from exposed pad without affecting function. |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback reference node | Internally connected to 3.3V divider; left floating for fixed-output operation - no external resistors needed. |
| 5 (GND) | Analog/digital ground | Must be connected to same ground plane as exposed pad; primary return path for bias and load currents. |
| 8 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 3.3V; requires ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitor - no ESR constraints simplify BOM. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for -40°C to +125°C ambient operation - certified for engine bay and transmission control units. |
| Stable with low-value ceramic capacitors | Works with ≥0.47µF X5R/X7R output caps - eliminates need for costly tantalum or high-ESR electrolytics. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3.3µA typical - enables compliance with ISO 16750-2 "parking mode" current budgets (<10µA). |
| Integrated fault protection | Thermal shutdown + current limiting - removes need for external foldback circuitry in safety-critical designs. |
| Wide input range | 2.5V to 40V - accommodates 12V/24V dual-battery architectures and load-dump transients up to 42V. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7B6733QPWPRQ1 | Higher IQ (15µA), lower dropout (450mV), same AEC-Q100 Grade 1, but requires ≥2.2µF output cap. | Better for high-transient environments where dropout margin is critical; less suitable for ultra-low-power sleep modes. | Select when 450mV dropout is mandatory and board space allows larger output capacitor. |
| MCP1703T-3302E/MB | Non-automotive grade, 2.5µA IQ, 600mV dropout, no thermal shutdown hysteresis, only industrial temp range (-40°C to +125°C). | Cost-sensitive non-safety applications like aftermarket infotainment; lacks AEC-Q100 validation and extended junction rating. | Select only for non-automotive designs where AEC-Q100 is not required and thermal robustness is secondary. |
Compared with TPS7B6733QPWPRQ1 and MCP1703T-3302E/MB, MPQ2013AGQ-33-AEC1-Z uniquely balances ultra-low IQ (3.3µA), AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance, and minimal output capacitance (0.47µF), making it optimal for space- and power-constrained automotive edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current for MPQ2013AGQ-33-AEC1-Z?
The device is specified for 150mA continuous output current in QFN-8 package. Peak current limit is 270mA, but sustained operation above 150mA requires careful thermal design due to power dissipation limits (2.08W max at +25°C ambient). Derating is necessary above +85°C ambient per θJA = 48°C/W.
Does MPQ2013AGQ-33-AEC1-Z require an external feedback resistor network?
No. As a fixed 3.3V output variant, the FB pin is internally connected to the output divider and must be left floating. External resistors are only required for adjustable versions or when fine-tuning the output voltage of fixed variants using the internal divider as a base.
How does the EN pin behave during automotive cold-crank conditions?
The EN pin has 1.26V falling and 1.48V rising thresholds with hysteresis, ensuring clean startup once battery voltage recovers above 1.48V after cranking dips. This prevents oscillation during slow-rising or noisy battery rails common in start-stop systems.
Can MPQ2013AGQ-33-AEC1-Z operate with a 2.5V input?
Yes - the 2.5V minimum input enables operation directly from LiFePO₄ batteries or regulated 3.3V rails. However, at VIN = 2.5V, VOUT drops to ~2.2V due to 620mV dropout, so it cannot sustain 3.3V output below VIN ≈ 3.92V. Use only where input remains ≥3.92V for full regulation.
Is reverse-voltage protection integrated?
No. The internal PMOS pass transistor includes 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 uncontrolled reverse current and potential IC damage.
What is the recommended output capacitor for stability?
A single 0.47µF or larger X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor is sufficient for stability. Larger values (e.g., 4.7µF) improve load transient response and reduce output noise. Avoid Y5V dielectrics due to severe capacitance loss over temperature and bias.
Does MPQ2013AGQ-33-AEC1-Z support feed-forward capacitor configuration?
Yes - a 22nF feed-forward capacitor across the top feedback resistor (R1) significantly reduces output noise, especially beneficial for high-resolution ADCs (>12-bit) powered by this LDO. It is optional for stability but strongly recommended in precision analog signal chains.
