Product details
Overview
MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-P from Monolithic Power Systems is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, monolithic synchronous step-down converter with integrated USB charging port identification and current-limiting switch. It delivers 2.5A continuous output at fixed 5V with programmable line drop compensation, operates from 7V–36V input, and supports BC1.2 DCP, divider, and 1.2V/1.2V auto-detection modes for automotive USB smart charging applications.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-P datasheet, MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-P pinout, MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-P application, or MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-P equivalent, key selection considerations include its triple-frequency selectability (150/250/350 kHz), ±8kV HBM ESD rating on DP/DM/USB pins, hiccup-mode over-current protection with <1s short-circuit recovery, and QFN-25 (4mm×4mm) package with exposed thermal pad for automotive under-hood thermal management.
Technical Context
The MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-P integrates a peak-current-mode controlled buck regulator with internal 40mΩ/32mΩ HS/LS MOSFETs and a dedicated 24mΩ USB power switch. Its control architecture includes a 1V internal reference, optimized error amplifier with internal compensation, and dynamic OVP threshold that scales with load to maintain 4.75–5.25V at the cable terminal.
USB auto-detection uses a state machine implementing BC1.2 short mode, divider mode (2.7V on DP/DM), and 1.2V/1.2V mode - each triggering distinct line drop compensation profiles and output voltage setpoints (5.05V or 5.25V). The VDROP pin selects three compensation levels (GND/float/VCC), enabling precise trace-loss compensation up to 500mV at 2.4A.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-P is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-25 (4mm × 4mm) package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 25), optimized for automotive under-hood conduction cooling. The 4-layer PCB layout requires multiple vias under the thermal pad and direct copper connection to PGND plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 23 (DM) | USB D− data line | Bi-directional handshake pin for BC1.2/Divider/1.2V mode detection; ±8kV HBM ESD rated. |
| 2 (USB) | USB power output | Current-limited 2.75A output with soft-start, discharge path, and dynamic OVP; connects directly to USB connector VBUS. |
| 3, 14, 24 (OUT) | Buck output node | 5V regulated output feeding USB switch input; shared with internal current-sense for line drop compensation. |
| 4, 13 (IN) | Main power input | 7–36V supply input; also powers internal circuitry and high-side driver bootstrap via BST pin. |
| 5, 6, 11, 12 (PGND) | Power ground | High-current return path for buck inductor and USB switch; must be low-impedance copper plane with multiple vias. |
| 7 (FREQ) | Frequency select | Logic-level input: float = 150kHz, GND = 250kHz, VCC = 350kHz - enables EMI tuning without external components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB-integrated buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ4475MGR-Z | AEC-Q100 unqualified commercial version; identical electrical specs but no automotive qualification testing or extended temperature validation. | Suitable for non-automotive industrial or consumer USB charging applications where AEC-Q100 is not mandated. | Select MPQ4475MGR-Z only if automotive qualification, extended temperature operation, or PPAP documentation is unnecessary. |
| TPS62130AQRGTRQ1 | Automotive 3A buck only - no integrated USB switch, BC1.2 detection, or line drop compensation; requires external USB IC for charging functionality. | Used in systems where USB port control is handled by separate microcontroller or USB PD controller. | Choose TPS62130AQRGTRQ1 when system architecture separates power conversion and USB protocol handling, and higher 3A buck current is required. |
Compared with MPQ4475MGR-Z, the AEC1-P variant adds guaranteed −40°C to +125°C operation, automotive qualification testing, and PPAP support - critical for Tier-1 production. Against TPS62130AQRGTRQ1, MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-P reduces total solution size and BOM count by integrating USB functions, but trades off maximum buck current (2.5A vs. 3A).

FAQ
What USB charging standards does MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-P support?
The MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-P supports USB Battery Charging Specification 1.2 (BC1.2) Dedicated Charging Port (DCP) mode, YD/T 1591-2009 divider mode (2.7V on DP/DM), and 1.2V/1.2V mode. Detection is performed autonomously by internal hardware state machine without MCU involvement, completing identification within 100ms of power-up.
How does line drop compensation work and how is it configured?
Line drop compensation corrects for voltage loss across PCB traces or cables using the internal current-sense signal from the USB switch. The VDROP pin accepts three logic states: GND (130mV compensation), float (400mV), or VCC (280mV) - selected to match trace resistance. At 2.4A load, this delivers up to 400mV of boost to maintain 5V at the load end.
What is the thermal performance of MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-P in automotive environments?
In a standard 4-layer PCB with 2oz copper and 10 thermal vias under the exposed pad, MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-P sustains 2.5A continuous output at +85°C ambient with ≤125°C junction temperature. Thermal shutdown activates at 165°C with 20°C hysteresis, ensuring reliable operation in under-hood locations per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements.
Can MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-P operate with input voltage below 7V?
No - the device has a 5.7V UVLO rising threshold and requires ≥7V for guaranteed operation per datasheet specifications. Below 7V, the buck converter ceases switching and the USB port is disabled. Input transients down to 6.5V are tolerated briefly during cold-crank, but sustained operation below 7V is not supported.
What is the purpose of the NC pins and can they be used for thermal relief?
Pins 15, 20, and 21 are no-connect; Pin 15 is thermally connected to the die and may be soldered to the OUT net to improve heat transfer, while Pins 20 and 21 must remain electrically floating. This thermal enhancement option is documented in the datasheet and validated for use in high-power automotive applications.
Does MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-P support USB suspend mode or dynamic current adjustment?
No - the device provides fixed 2.75A current limit and lacks USB suspend signaling or dynamically adjustable current profiles. It implements only charging port emulation (DCP/divider/1.2V) and does not support USB enumeration, data transfer, or BC1.2 CDP/SDP modes requiring data-line communication.
What is the minimum recommended input capacitance for MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-P?
A minimum 100μF low-ESR electrolytic capacitor plus two 10μF X5R/X7R ceramics placed adjacent to IN and PGND is recommended. The ceramics handle high-frequency ripple, while the bulk capacitor absorbs low-frequency energy; RMS current rating must exceed 1.25A to support 2.5A output at worst-case VIN = 2×VOUT.
