Product details
Overview
MPQ4263GQVE-0000-AEC1-P from Monolithic Power Systems is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-qualified buck-boost DC/DC converter with two integrated low-side MOSFETs, 3.6V–36V input range, 1V–36V output range, and up to 140W peak output power. It delivers USB PD 3.1 EPR/PPS-compliant power delivery via I²C-configurable voltage/current regulation and high-side current sensing, targeting in-vehicle USB-C charging ports and DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ4263GQVE-0000-AEC1-P datasheet, MPQ4263GQVE-0000-AEC1-P pinout, MPQ4263GQVE-0000-AEC1-P application, or MPQ4263GQVE-0000-AEC1-P equivalent, this device supports I²C register programming of VREF (0.1V–2.147V), selectable 280/420/580kHz switching frequency, forced PWM or auto PFM/PWM mode, and accurate ±5% CC current limit with IMON monitoring - critical for USB PD hub and automotive DC supply design validation.
Technical Context
The MPQ4263GQVE-0000-AEC1-P implements a fixed-frequency, multi-mode buck-boost topology with seamless transitions between buck, boost, and buck-boost operating regions using VIN/VOUT ratio-based mode control (buck-boost-to-buck threshold = 120%, buck-boost-to-boost = 82%). Its dual bootstrap gate drivers (HG1/HG2) support external high-side MOSFETs, while integrated LS-FETs reduce BOM count and improve thermal performance in QFN-20 (3mm×5mm) wettable flank package.
Control architecture includes a PLL-synchronized oscillator, programmable soft-start (1ms), line-drop compensation (100mV @ 1A), and dual OVP thresholds (trim options: 24.5–28.5V or 37–41V). Fault protection integrates high-side current-sense-based CC limiting, output OVP/OCP, thermal shutdown at 160°C with 20°C hysteresis, and hiccup-mode recovery (50ms off-time).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ4269GQVE-AEC1 | Higher 180W peak power, 40V max VIN, same QFN-20 package and I²C interface but no OTP preconfigurations | Targets next-gen 140W+ USB PD EPR systems requiring extended input range and higher thermal headroom | Select when >140W output or 36–40V input tolerance is required; shares identical pinout and firmware compatibility |
| LM5175QRGERQ1 | Non-synchronous buck-boost with external MOSFETs, no integrated LS-FETs or I²C interface; 3–42V input, 150W capability | Used in cost-sensitive industrial DC/DC where programmability is secondary to raw power density and discrete FET selection flexibility | Choose when discrete gate drive tuning, higher VIN (>36V), or absence of I²C dependency is prioritized over USB PD integration |
Compared with MPQ4269GQVE-AEC1, the MPQ4263GQVE-0000-AEC1-P offers factory-optimized OTP configurations for rapid USB PD deployment, while LM5175QRGERQ1 trades integrated control for greater external FET flexibility - making MPQ4263 optimal for AEC-Q100-compliant, I²C-managed automotive USB power systems.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the ISEN+ and ISEN− pins?
ISEN+ and ISEN− form a differential input pair for high-side current sensing across an external sense resistor. This configuration enables accurate ±5% output current limiting and feeds the IMON analog monitor output. Unlike low-side sensing, it avoids ground path interference and preserves load-side ground integrity - essential for USB PD compliance and multi-rail systems.
Can MPQ4263GQVE-0000-AEC1-P operate without an external USB PD controller?
Yes - it can function as a standalone buck-boost regulator using fixed resistor feedback (FB pin) and EN pin control. However, full USB PD 3.1 EPR/PPS functionality (e.g., dynamic VOUT/IOUT negotiation, AVS) requires an external PD controller communicating via I²C. The "0000" OTP config provides default 140W-ready settings for immediate evaluation.
How does the VCC pin derive its supply?
VCC is an internal 5V LDO output powered either from VIN (when VIN ≥ 6.4V) or from VOUT (when VOUT ≥ 6.8V), automatically selecting the higher valid source. This dual-source architecture ensures continuous bias during input brownout or output ramp-up, eliminating need for external bias supplies in automotive start-stop cycles.
What thermal derating applies above 25°C ambient?
With θJA = 9.1°C/W (QFN-20), maximum continuous power drops linearly: at TA = 85°C, PD(MAX) = (150°C − 85°C) / 9.1 ≈ 7.1W - but actual usable output power depends on PCB layout. On a 4-layer 64mm×64mm board, 140W is achievable only at TA ≤ 45°C with forced airflow or heatsinking per thermal simulation data in Rev. 1.0 datasheet Figure 12.
Is the "0000" OTP configuration reprogrammable?
No - the OTP memory is one-time programmable and factory-set. "0000" is the default configuration enabling full 140W capability, 420kHz switching, and default VREF = 0.5V. Alternative codes like "0001" and "0002" are pre-programmed for 60W and 100W USB PD use cases but cannot be modified in the field.
What is the minimum inductor value supported?
The recommended inductor is 4.7µH (RDC = 8mΩ) for 420kHz operation, but the device supports values down to 2.2µH with appropriate compensation. Minimum on/off times (180ns each) constrain practical lower limits; using <3.3µH may require loop compensation adjustment and increases peak current stress on internal LS-FETs.
Does the ALT pin support level-shifting for 3.3V microcontrollers?
Yes - ALT is an open-drain output with 20Ω pull-low resistance and ±2kV HBM ESD rating. When pulled up to 3.3V, it asserts active-low fault signals compatible with 3.3V logic. No level-shifter is needed, but a 10kΩ pull-up to the host MCU's VDD is recommended for noise immunity in automotive environments.
