Product details

Overview

MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-P from Monolithic Power Systems is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified 40V input, 150mA low-dropout linear regulator in QFN-8 (3mm×3mm) package with 3.3µA quiescent current, 620mV dropout at 150mA, and ±2% output voltage accuracy. It delivers stable 3.3V output for automotive body control modules requiring ultra-low standby power and high input voltage tolerance.

For engineers reviewing the MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-P datasheet, MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-P pinout, MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-P application, or MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-P equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, thermal shutdown at 150°C, EN pin logic thresholds (1.32–1.64V rise), FB reference voltage (1.215V), and compatibility with ≥0.47μF ceramic output capacitors.

Technical Context

The MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-P implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling operation from 2.5V to 40V input while maintaining regulation down to 620mV dropout at full 150mA load. Its internal 1.215V bandgap reference feeds an error amplifier that controls the pass element via feedback from the FB pin.

It integrates over-current limiting (trip point 160–400mA depending on output voltage), thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis, and EN-controlled startup/shutdown with sub-9µA shutdown supply current. The device operates across –40°C to +150°C junction temperature and is validated for automotive Grade 1 ambient conditions (–40°C to +125°C).

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 transients up to 42V absolute max.
Quiescent Current	3.3µA typical - enables >10-year battery life in always-on automotive modules with microamp-level sleep current budgets.
Output Accuracy	±2% for QFN-8 package - ensures reliable MCU core voltage compliance without post-production trimming.
Dropout Voltage	620mV at 150mA - sustains 3.3V output even when input drops to 3.92V, critical during engine cranking.
Thermal Shutdown	150°C junction threshold - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design in enclosed automotive enclosures.
EN Threshold	1.32–1.64V rising edge - allows direct interface with 3.3V GPIOs or resistor-divider control from higher-voltage rails.
Stability	With ≥0.47μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor - eliminates need for large electrolytics, reducing board area and improving reliability.

Pinout & Package

MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-P is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-8 (3mm × 3mm, 0.65mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad. The package supports high-power dissipation (θ_JA = 48°C/W) and requires soldering of the exposed pad to a dedicated ground plane for optimal thermal performance.

Pin	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1	IN	Main input supply connection; accepts 2.5V–40V; must be bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor near pin.
2	EN	Enable control input; logic HIGH (>1.32V) activates regulator; logic LOW (<1.26V) reduces supply current to <9µA.
3	GND	Analog ground reference; must be connected to same low-impedance ground plane as exposed pad.
4	FB	Feedback input; internally regulated to 1.215V; left floating for fixed 3.3V output version.
5	NC	No connection; may be tied to GND to improve thermal conduction without electrical impact.
6	NC	No connection; may be tied to GND to improve thermal conduction without electrical impact.
7	NC	No connection; may be tied to GND to improve thermal conduction without electrical impact.
8	OUT	Regulated 3.3V output; requires ≥0.47μF ceramic capacitor directly at pin for stability and transient response.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification	Validated for automotive applications operating from –40°C to +125°C ambient with full parametric testing per stress requirements.
Ultra-low quiescent current	3.3µA typical - enables compliance with ISO 16750-2 "parking mode" current limits (<100µA) in body electronics.
Integrated fault protection	Combines current limiting (160–400mA trip), thermal shutdown (150°C), and hysteresis (20°C) to prevent latch-up or damage under fault.
Fixed 3.3V output	Eliminates external feedback resistors - reduces BOM count, layout area, and calibration risk in space-constrained ECUs.
Wide VIN range with low dropout	Operates from 2.5V up to 40V with only 620mV dropout at 150mA - supports start-stop systems and 24V commercial vehicle platforms.

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 quiescent current (15µA), lower max input (40V), same AEC-Q100 Grade 1, QFN-8 package	Less suitable for ultra-low-power parking-mode applications due to 4.5× higher IQ	Select if higher PSRR (65dB @100Hz) or tighter output accuracy (±1%) is required over IQ budget.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable input voltage for MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-P?

The absolute maximum input voltage is +42V, but the recommended operating range is 2.5V to 40V. Exceeding 42V risks permanent damage to the internal PMOS pass transistor and ESD protection structures. For automotive applications with load dump transients, external TVS clamping is advised to limit VIN to ≤42V.

Can MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-P be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 1µF?

Yes - the device is stable with output capacitance as low as 0.47µF (X5R/X7R dielectric). This enables compact designs using 0402- or 0603-size ceramics. Using <0.47µF risks instability and oscillation; larger values (up to 10µF) improve load transient response but are not required for stability.

Does MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-P require an input capacitor?

Yes - a minimum 1µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor must be placed between IN and GND, within 2mm of the pin. This prevents oscillation during line transients and supplies peak current during EN turn-on. Omitting it causes startup failure or erratic regulation under dynamic load conditions.

How does the EN pin behave during power-up?

When EN rises above 1.32V (typical), the regulator enables with ~3ms startup time to reach 3.3V. If EN is tied directly to IN, automatic startup occurs at VIN >1.32V. During shutdown, output collapses within 10µs after EN falls below 1.26V, and quiescent current drops to <9µA.

Is thermal pad soldering mandatory for MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-P?

Yes - the exposed thermal pad (Pin 4 on bottom) must be soldered to a solid copper ground plane with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) connecting to inner/ground layers. Without this, θ_JA degrades from 48°C/W to >90°C/W, causing premature thermal shutdown at <100mA load in still-air conditions.

What is the output voltage tolerance over temperature and line/load?

For MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-P (fixed 3.3V QFN-8), output voltage is guaranteed ±2% over –40°C to +125°C ambient, 2.5V–40V input, and 0–150mA load. This includes initial accuracy, line regulation (0.012%/V), and load regulation (0.012%/mA) contributions per datasheet Section 7.

Does MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-P support reverse voltage protection?

No - the internal PMOS pass transistor contains a body diode that conducts from OUT to IN if V_OUT > V_IN. In backup-battery or dual-supply scenarios, an external Schottky diode (cathode to IN, anode to GND) is required to block reverse current and prevent damage.
