Product details
Overview
MPQ2013AGQ-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a 40V-input, 150mA AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified low-quiescent-current linear regulator in QFN-8 (3mm×3mm) package. It delivers stable fixed 3.3V output with ±2% accuracy, 620mV dropout at full load, and 3.3µA quiescent current-enabling ultra-low-power operation in automotive body electronics and industrial sensor nodes powered by 12V/24V batteries.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ2013AGQ-Z datasheet, MPQ2013AGQ-Z pinout, MPQ2013AGQ-Z application, or MPQ2013AGQ-Z equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal shutdown behavior, EN threshold voltages, FB reference stability, and validated PCB layout guidance for high-reliability automotive-grade deployment.
Technical Context
The MPQ2013AGQ-Z implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling operation down to 2.5V input while maintaining regulation up to 40V. Its internal 1.215V feedback reference and integrated current limiting (160–400mA) provide robust overload protection without external components.
Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis, and the EN pin features asymmetric thresholds (1.32–1.64V rise, 1.1–1.42V fall) for controlled startup and brown-out immunity in noisy automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 40V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V/36V battery rails with UVLO margin. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% - specified over -40°C to +125°C ambient, suitable for MCU I/O and CAN transceiver VCC. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.3µA - enables >10-year battery life in always-on telematics modules with <10µA system sleep current. |
| Dropout Voltage | 620mV at 150mA - sustains regulation with ≤3.92V input at full load, critical for cold-cranking scenarios. |
| Load Current Limit | 160–400mA - protects against short-circuit faults while allowing 150mA continuous delivery with margin. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C activation with 20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| PSRR @ 100Hz | 58dB - suppresses alternator ripple and switching noise upstream of sensitive analog subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
MPQ2013AGQ-Z uses a thermally enhanced QFN-8 (3mm×3mm) package with exposed thermal pad. The pinout is optimized for minimal loop area and thermal resistance (θJA = 48°C/W on 4-layer PCB).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Main power input | Accepts 2.5–40V supply; requires ≥1µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor directly adjacent to pin. |
| 2 (EN) | Enable control input | Logic HIGH (>1.48V) enables regulation; LOW (<1.26V) reduces supply current to <3µA shutdown mode. |
| 3 & 6 & 7 (NC) | No-connect terminals | May be left floating or tied to GND to improve thermal conduction via internal copper slugs. |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback reference node | Internally regulated to 1.215V; unused in fixed-output version but must remain unconnected (not grounded). |
| 5 (GND) | Analog/digital ground | Must be connected to same low-impedance ground plane as exposed thermal pad for thermal and noise performance. |
| 8 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 3.3V; stable with ≥0.47µF ceramic output capacitor-no ESR requirement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for -40°C to +125°C ambient operation with full parametric testing per automotive stress requirements. |
| Low-noise output | 58dB PSRR at 100Hz enables direct powering of 12-bit+ ADCs without additional LDO filtering stages. |
| Stable with small ceramics | Guaranteed stability with ≥0.47µF X5R/X7R output capacitor-reduces BOM count and board space vs. electrolytic solutions. |
| Integrated fault protection | Combines current limiting, thermal shutdown, and EN-controlled soft-start to prevent inrush and latch-up in harsh environments. |
| Ultra-low IQ operation | 3.3µA quiescent current allows use in always-on domains where total system sleep current must stay below 10µA. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-quiescent-current linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7B6733QPWPRQ1 | Higher IQ (12µA), lower dropout (300mV), same AEC-Q100 Grade 1, but requires ≥1µF output cap and lacks EN hysteresis. | Better for ultra-low-dropout needs in 3.3V systems with tight input margins; less suitable for battery longevity-critical designs. | Select when dropout <400mV is mandatory and IQ >3µA is acceptable. |
| NCP163AMX330TBG | Lower IQ (1.5µA), narrower input (2.2–5.5V), no AEC-Q100 qualification, ±2% accuracy, QFN-8 package. | Limited to low-voltage battery systems (e.g., Li-ion); not qualified for automotive under-hood or industrial extended-temp use. | Select only for non-automotive, low-input-voltage portable applications where AEC-Q100 is unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS7B6733QPWPRQ1 and NCP163AMX330TBG, MPQ2013AGQ-Z uniquely balances 40V input tolerance, 3.3µA IQ, AEC-Q100 Grade 1, and 620mV dropout-making it optimal for automotive body electronics and industrial sensors requiring wide VIN and multi-year battery life.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for MPQ2013AGQ-Z?
The absolute maximum input voltage is +42V, but the recommended operating range is 2.5V to 40V. Operation above 40V risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings and may trigger internal protection or cause permanent damage. Designers should include external clamping if load-dump transients exceed 40V.
Can MPQ2013AGQ-Z be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 1µF?
Yes-MPQ2013AGQ-Z is explicitly characterized for stability with ≥0.47µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors. This eliminates ESR requirements and enables compact, low-cost designs. Larger values (up to 10µF) improve load transient response but are not required for stability.
How does the EN pin behave during power-up and brown-out conditions?
The EN pin has asymmetric thresholds: rising enable occurs at 1.32–1.64V, while falling disable occurs at 1.1–1.42V. This 0.22V hysteresis prevents oscillation during slow-rising or noisy supply ramps, ensuring clean startup and reliable shutdown during battery sag.
Is the exposed thermal pad electrically connected to GND?
Yes-the exposed pad is internally connected to the GND pin and must be soldered to a dedicated thermal land tied to the main system ground plane. Failure to connect it degrades thermal performance (θJA increases from 48°C/W to >70°C/W) and risks thermal shutdown under load.
What is the output voltage accuracy over temperature and line/load conditions?
For MPQ2013AGQ-Z (3.3V fixed version), output voltage is guaranteed ±2% over -40°C to +125°C ambient, full load (0–150mA), and input range (4.3V–40V). This includes initial tolerance, line regulation (0.015%/V), and load regulation (0.02%/mA) contributions.
Does MPQ2013AGQ-Z require an external feed-forward capacitor for noise reduction?
No-the feed-forward capacitor across the upper FB resistor is optional. It reduces output noise by ~10–15dB in high-precision analog applications (e.g., >12-bit ADCs) but is not required for basic regulation stability or digital load operation.
How is reverse voltage protection handled in MPQ2013AGQ-Z?
MPQ2013AGQ-Z lacks internal reverse-voltage blocking. If the output voltage exceeds the input (e.g., backup battery scenario), current flows through the PMOS body diode uncontrolled. An external Schottky diode in series with the IN pin is required to prevent damage in such configurations.
