Overview
MPQ2013AGQ-5-AEC1-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified 5V fixed-output linear regulator with 2.5V–40V input range, 3.3µA quiescent current, 620mV dropout at 150mA, and QFN-8 (3mm×3mm) package. It delivers stable 5V ±2% output for automotive body control modules, battery-powered telematics, and low-power microcontroller subsystems operating in high-voltage vehicle electrical systems.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ2013AGQ-5-AEC1-Z datasheet, MPQ2013AGQ-5-AEC1-Z pinout, MPQ2013AGQ-5-AEC1-Z application, or MPQ2013AGQ-5-AEC1-Z equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed AEC-Q100 thermal and fault protection behavior, and real-world design meaning for each key specification - all extracted from the official MPQ2013A Rev. 1.1 datasheet.
Technical Context
The MPQ2013AGQ-5-AEC1-Z uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low quiescent current (3.3µA typ.) and operation down to 2.5V input while maintaining regulation up to 40V. Its internal feedback reference is trimmed to 1.215V, and the fixed 5V output achieves ±2% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C ambient with thermal shutdown at 150°C and 20°C hysteresis.
It integrates current limiting (160–400mA trip range), reverse-voltage protection awareness (requires external diode), and stable operation with ≥0.47µF ceramic output capacitance. The EN pin features asymmetric thresholds (1.32–1.64V rise, 1.1–1.42V fall) for robust start-up sequencing in noisy automotive environments.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MPQ2013AGQ-5-AEC1-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-8 (3mm×3mm) package with an exposed paddle that must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or chamfered corner per JEDEC MO-229 VEEC-2 standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5V–40V unregulated input; requires ≥1µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability and transient suppression. |
| 2 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; 1.32–1.64V threshold ensures reliable wake-up from vehicle ignition signals; <0.1µA leakage minimizes standby drain. |
| 3, 6, 7 (NC) | No-connect terminals | Internally unconnected; may be tied to GND for improved thermal conduction but must not be used as signal paths. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary ground return; must be connected to same low-impedance ground plane as exposed paddle to maintain thermal performance and noise immunity. |
| 5 (FB) | Feedback reference node | Internally connected to 5V output divider; left floating for fixed-output operation; unused in this variant - no external components required. |
| 8 (OUT) | Regulated 5V output | Delivers clean 5V ±2% output; stable with ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitor; feed-forward cap (22nF) optional to reduce noise for ADC-sensitive loads. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ operation | 3.3µA typical supply current enables >10-year shelf life in battery-backed automotive event recorders and remote keyless entry modules. |
| Wide VIN range | 2.5V–40V input accommodates 12V/24V dual-battery architectures and survives ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (load dump up to 60V) with proper front-end clamping. |
| Fixed 5V output accuracy | ±2% over temperature and line/load ensures reliable power delivery to 5V-tolerant MCUs, CAN FD transceivers, and LIN interface ICs without calibration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-quiescent-current automotive LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7B6750QDGNRQ1 | Higher IQ (12µA), wider temp range (–40°C to +150°C), same 5V ±2% accuracy, but larger HTSSOP-8 package (4.4mm×3.0mm). | Preferred where higher thermal margin is needed in high-ambient under-hood locations; less suitable for space-constrained TCU modules. | Select if board layout allows larger footprint and junction temperature exceeds 135°C in worst-case thermal simulation. |
| NCP163AMX500TBG | Lower IQ (1.5µA), narrower VIN (1.9V–5.5V), only ±1% accuracy, QFN-8 (2mm×2mm); lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and thermal shutdown. | Suitable for consumer-grade portable devices but not automotive due to missing qualification, fault protection, and 40V input capability. | Reject for automotive use; consider only for cost-sensitive industrial IoT nodes with stable 3.3V/5V input and no safety-critical requirements. |

FAQ
Is MPQ2013AGQ-5-AEC1-Z pin-compatible with other MPQ2013A variants?
Yes - all MPQ2013A QFN-8 variants (including MPQ2013AGQ-33-AEC1-Z and MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z) share identical pinout, footprint, and thermal pad layout. Only the FB pin function differs: fixed-output versions leave FB floating, while adjustable versions require external resistors. No PCB redesign is needed when swapping fixed-output options.
What is the minimum input voltage required to maintain 5V output at 150mA load?
The minimum input voltage is 5.62V, calculated from the maximum dropout voltage (1100mV) plus nominal output (5.0V). At 150mA load and 25°C, typical dropout is 620mV, so 5.62V suffices - well within the 6V minimum specified for 5V operation in the datasheet, ensuring reliable regulation during automotive cranking events.
Does MPQ2013AGQ-5-AEC1-Z require an external reverse-voltage protection diode?
Yes - the internal PMOS pass device contains a body diode that conducts from OUT to IN if output voltage exceeds input (e.g., during backup battery hold-up). Without an external Schottky diode on the IN rail, reverse current can exceed safe limits and damage the IC. MPS explicitly recommends this diode in Section 15 of the datasheet.
Can the EN pin be directly tied to IN for automatic startup?
Yes - connecting EN to IN enables automatic startup when input voltage rises above the 1.32V rising threshold. This configuration is validated in the datasheet's Typical Application Circuits (Figures 7–9) and maintains full AEC-Q100 compliance. No pull-up resistor is needed, simplifying BOM and layout.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the QFN-8 package under standard JEDEC conditions?
The datasheet specifies θJA = 48°C/W for the QFN-8 (3mm×3mm) package on a 4-layer PCB per JESD51-7. This value assumes 2-in² copper area connected to the exposed thermal pad. Real-world θJA may vary between 35–65°C/W depending on PCB stack-up, copper area, and airflow - thermal simulation is recommended for ambient temperatures above 105°C.
How does the 3.3µA quiescent current impact battery life in a 200mAh Li-SOCl₂ cell?
At 3.3µA average draw, the theoretical battery life is 200mAh ÷ 0.0033mA ≈ 60,600 hours (~6.9 years). Factoring in self-discharge (0.7%/year for Li-SOCl₂) and intermittent load pulses, field deployment exceeds 5 years - meeting stringent requirements for remote vehicle trackers and smart toll tags.
Is the ±2% output accuracy maintained across the full –40°C to +125°C ambient range?
Yes - the datasheet guarantees ±2% output voltage accuracy for MPQ2013AGQ-5 variants over –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, with VIN ≥6V and IOUT ≤150mA. This includes initial trim error, line regulation (0.01–0.05%/V), and load regulation (0.012%/mA), verified across production lots and temperature chambers.
