Product details
Overview
MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-Z 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-Z datasheet, MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-Z pinout, MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-Z application, or MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-Z 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-Z 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 an error amplifier referenced to 1V, internal soft-start (1.65ms), and dynamic OVP with 5.75V recovery threshold.
USB auto-detection uses a state machine that defaults to Divider Mode at startup (5.05V output, full line drop comp), then transitions to BC1.2 Short or 1.2V/1.2V Mode (5.25V, half line drop comp) when device handshake is detected - enabling full 2.75A current delivery while maintaining cable-end voltage compliance per BC1.2 spec.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-25 (4mm × 4mm) package with exposed PGND pad for efficient heat dissipation in automotive PCB layouts. The 25-pin layout features dual PGND banks (pins 5,6,11,12,14,24), dedicated AGND (pins 16,17), and isolated data lines (DP/DM) to minimize noise coupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 23 | DM | USB D− data line - bidirectional handshake path for BC1.2/Divider/1.2V mode detection; ±8kV HBM protected. |
| 2 | USB | USB power output - 2.75A current-limited, with discharge resistor and dynamic OVP for cable-end voltage regulation. |
| 3, 14, 24 | OUT | Buck output node - supplies USB input; connects directly to output capacitor and USB VBUS trace with low-inductance routing. |
| 4, 13 | IN | Main input supply - accepts 7–36V; powers internal circuitry and serves as HS-FET drain; requires local 10μF ceramic decoupling. |
| 5, 6, 11, 12, 14, 24 | PGND | Power ground - reference for buck output and USB switch; must be tied to large copper plane with multiple vias for thermal and EMI control. |
| 7 | FREQ | Frequency select - float = 150kHz, GND = 250kHz, VCC = 350kHz; enables EMI spread-spectrum tuning without external resistors. |
| 8 | EN | Enable control - 1.43V threshold with 140mV hysteresis; internal 1MΩ pull-down allows auto-shutdown when left floating. |
| 9, 25 | SW | Switch node - connects to external inductor; requires wide copper pour and minimal loop area to reduce switching losses and EMI. |
| 10 | BST | Bootstrap supply - drives HS-FET gate via 0.1μF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW; UVLO-protected floating rail. |
| 15, 20, 21 | NC | No connection - pins 15 may be tied to OUT for thermal enhancement; pins 20/21 must remain unconnected and floating. |
| 16, 17 | AGND | Analog ground - reference for error amp, OVP, and current sense; must be star-connected to PGND near IC for noise immunity. |
| 18 | VCC | Internal 5V LDO output - powers control logic; requires 0.22μF ceramic decoupling close to pin; regulated from VIN across full input range. |
| 19 | VDROP | Line drop compensation select - GND = 130mV, float = 400mV, VCC = 280mV; sets slope of IR compensation voltage vs. load current. |
| 22 | DP | USB D+ data line - paired with DM for charger ID; same ±8kV HBM rating and layout rules apply. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-frequency selectability | 150/250/350 kHz via single FREQ pin - eliminates external timing resistors and simplifies EMI compliance across vehicle platforms. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB charging port applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ4475MGR-Z | Non-AEC-Q100 commercial grade; identical electrical specs and pinout. | Limited to non-automotive or interior-only applications where extended temperature and qualification are not mandated. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements and operating temperature stays ≤105°C. |
| TPS65987D | USB-C PD controller with integrated buck; supports 20V/3A PD profiles but lacks BC1.2 DCP hardware auto-detect. | Requires external MCU for legacy USB-A BC1.2 support; targets Type-C ecosystems, not legacy USB-A ports. | Choose only if migrating to USB-C PD architecture; not a drop-in replacement for BC1.2-focused designs. |
Compared with MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-Z, the MPQ4475MGR-Z omits automotive qualification but retains identical performance - ideal for cost-sensitive industrial docks. The TPS65987D adds USB-C PD capability but removes autonomous BC1.2 detection, increasing firmware complexity and BOM count for legacy USB-A use cases.

FAQ
What USB charging protocols does MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-Z support natively?
The MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-Z supports Battery Charging Specification 1.2 (BC1.2) Dedicated Charging Port (DCP) mode, Divider Mode, and 1.2V/1.2V Mode using fully hardware-based auto-detection - no external MCU or firmware is required. It identifies connected devices by monitoring DP/DM voltage levels and resistance states, then configures output voltage and current limit accordingly.
How does line drop compensation work, and how is it configured?
Line drop compensation offsets voltage loss across USB cables by increasing the buck output voltage proportionally to load current. It is configured via the VDROP pin: grounding sets 130mV compensation, floating sets 400mV, and tying to VCC sets 280mV. This generates a current-proportional voltage added to the feedback node, ensuring 4.75–5.25V remains at the connector under varying cable resistance and load.
Can MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-Z operate during automotive cold-crank conditions?
Yes - the MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-Z operates down to 7V input and features an under-voltage lockout (UVLO) with 5.7V rising threshold and 1V hysteresis. During cold-crank events where battery voltage dips to ~6.5V, the device remains functional until VIN falls below 4.7V, and resumes regulation immediately upon recovery - critical for always-on telematics and ADAS modules.
What is the thermal performance of the QFN-25 package in automotive ambient conditions?
In a standard 4-layer PCB with 2 oz copper and 6 thermal vias under the exposed pad, the MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-Z achieves θJA = 44°C/W. At 2.5A load and 85°C ambient, junction temperature rises to ~125°C - within AEC-Q100 Grade 1 limits. Layout adherence to MPS guidelines (wide traces, PGND plane, AGND star point) is essential to sustain full-rated output continuously.
Does MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-Z require external components for USB data line protection?
No - the DP and DM pins feature integrated ±8kV HBM ESD protection per JEDEC JS-001, eliminating the need for external TVS diodes in most automotive interior applications. However, for harsher environments (e.g., exposed exterior ports), adding a 100nF ceramic capacitor in series with each data line is recommended to filter high-frequency noise without affecting BC1.2 detection timing.
How does hiccup-mode over-current protection differ from latch-off protection?
Hiccup-mode cycles the device ON for 3ms and OFF for 500ms during sustained over-current, limiting average power dissipation and preventing thermal damage. Unlike latch-off, which disables output until reset, hiccup-mode enables automatic recovery once the fault clears - essential for automotive systems where manual reset is impractical and intermittent shorts (e.g., cable flex) must self-resolve.
Is the MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-Z compatible with existing MPQ4475MGR-Z PCB footprints?
Yes - MPQ4475MGR-AEC1-Z shares identical QFN-25 (4mm×4mm) package dimensions, pinout, and thermal pad layout with the commercial MPQ4475MGR-Z. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading to AEC-Q100 qualification; only bill-of-materials and test documentation require update to reflect automotive-grade screening and traceability.
