Product details
Overview
MPQ4569GQ-AEC1-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a 75V, 0.3A AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified synchronous step-down converter with integrated 1.2Ω high-side and 0.45Ω low-side MOSFETs, 1V reference voltage output (QFN package), programmable soft-start, and 5μA shutdown current - designed for automotive front-end power rails supplying infotainment, ADAS camera modules, and body control units.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ4569GQ-AEC1-Z datasheet, MPQ4569GQ-AEC1-Z pinout, MPQ4569GQ-AEC1-Z application, or MPQ4569GQ-AEC1-Z equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, QFN-10 pin mapping, thermal shutdown behavior, POK functionality, and validated automotive-grade alternatives aligned to ISO 26262 functional safety readiness.
Technical Context
The MPQ4569GQ-AEC1-Z implements a constant-on-time (COT) control scheme with zero-current detection (ZCD) and internal 1V reference comparator, enabling fast transient response without external compensation. Its dual-mode operation scales switching frequency under light load to reduce gate driver and switching losses while maintaining regulation down to 1V output.
It integrates a dedicated BIAS pin that accepts 2.9–5.5V input to power internal circuitry and LS-FET driver, improving efficiency over VIN-only biasing. The POK open-drain output asserts HIGH when VOUT exceeds 90% of nominal FB reference and pulls LOW during shutdown or undervoltage conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 75V - supports cold-crank (4.5V) and load-dump (75V) transients in 12V/24V/48V automotive systems. |
| Output Current | 0.3A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and CAN transceivers in distributed ECUs. |
| Quiescent Current | 20μA active mode - enables always-on subsystems (e.g., door module wake-up logic) without excessive battery drain. |
| Shutdown Current | 5μA across -40°C to +125°C - ensures compliance with automotive sleep-mode leakage budgets. |
| FB Reference Accuracy | ±1% at 25°C, ±2% over full temperature - enables stable 3.3V or 5V rail generation with <±33mV error at 3.3V output. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175°C activation with 20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Minimum On-Time | 120ns - supports high VIN-to-VOUT ratios (e.g., 48V→3.3V) without pulse-skipping instability. |
Pinout & Package
MPQ4569GQ-AEC1-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-10 (3mm × 3mm) package with exposed thermal pad, optimized for automotive PCB layouts requiring minimal footprint and efficient heat dissipation via GND-connected copper pour.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Power Ground | Primary return path for high-current switch node and output capacitor; must be connected directly to thermal pad and large copper area. |
| 2 VIN | Input Supply | High-voltage DC input (4.5–75V); requires local 10μF/100V ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 3 EN | Enable Control | Active-HIGH logic input; internal 3MΩ pull-down ensures safe default-off state; clamped to 6.5V zener for robustness. |
| 4 VREF | Reference Output | 1V precision reference source (500μA sink/source capability); used for feedback divider and external circuit biasing. |
| 5 FB | Feedback Input | Compares resistive divider output against internal 1V reference; tolerance determines output voltage accuracy. |
| 6 SS | Soft-Start Control | Accepts external capacitor to linearly ramp reference voltage and prevent output overshoot during startup/recovery. |
| 7 POK | Power Good | Open-drain output asserting HIGH only when VOUT ≥ 90% of nominal; pulled LOW during shutdown or fault. |
| 8 BIAS | Bias Supply | Accepts regulated 2.9–5.5V supply to power internal regulator and LS-FET driver, reducing VIN current draw and improving efficiency. |
| 9 BST | Bootstrap Supply | Charges high-side gate driver via external capacitor to SW; requires 0.1μF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW. |
| 10 SW | Switch Node | Drives external inductor; carries high di/dt current; must be routed short and away from analog traces (FB, SS, POK). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 Qualification | Validated for operation from −40°C to +125°C junction temperature - meets automotive ECU ambient requirements. |

FAQ
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on MPQ4569GQ-AEC1-Z?
The BIAS pin accepts a regulated 2.9–5.5V supply to power the internal regulator and low-side FET driver, reducing VIN current draw and improving overall efficiency. When connected to the output rail (e.g., 3.3V or 5V), it lowers quiescent current by bypassing the VIN-based internal regulator, especially beneficial in high-input-voltage applications like 48V systems.
How does the POK pin function during startup and fault conditions?
The POK pin is an open-drain output that remains LOW during shutdown, startup, or when VOUT falls below 90% of its nominal value. It transitions HIGH only after VOUT stabilizes within regulation and remains HIGH until undervoltage, overtemperature, or EN deactivation occurs. Its 40μs deglitch timer prevents false triggering from transient ripple.
Can MPQ4569GQ-AEC1-Z operate with an input voltage below 4.5V?
No - the device incorporates an internal UVLO with a rising threshold of 4.2V (±0.3V) and hysteresis of 0.45V. Operation below 3.75V (falling threshold) disables switching. External resistor dividers on the EN pin can raise effective UVLO, but VIN itself must exceed 4.5V for guaranteed regulation per datasheet specifications.
What is the maximum recommended output capacitance for stable operation?
The datasheet specifies stable operation with up to 100μF total output capacitance using low-ESR ceramic or polymer capacitors. Exceeding this may destabilize the COT control loop due to increased phase lag; for >100μF designs, a feedforward capacitor (e.g., 39pF from VOUT to FB) is mandatory to suppress switching frequency jitter caused by FB noise sensitivity.
Is the VREF pin usable as a precision voltage reference for external circuitry?
Yes - the VREF pin delivers a 1V ±1% (25°C) / ±2% (−40°C to +125°C) reference with 500μA sourcing/sinking capability. It is electrically isolated from switching noise and intended for biasing external op-amps, ADC references, or sensor excitation circuits - provided load current stays within specified limits and layout avoids coupling from SW or GND return paths.
How does the soft-start capacitor value affect startup behavior?
The SS pin is charged by a 5μA internal current source; soft-start time (tSS) equals CSS × 1V ÷ 5μA. For example, a 100nF capacitor yields 20ms ramp time. Larger values extend startup duration and reduce inrush, but excessively long ramps may delay system boot timing or cause timeout in host MCU power sequencing logic.
Does MPQ4569GQ-AEC1-Z support forced PWM mode?
No - the device operates exclusively in auto-mode (diode emulation at light load) with frequency scaling. There is no pin or register to force continuous conduction mode (CCM). This architecture minimizes light-load losses but introduces variable switching frequency, requiring EMI filter design to accommodate the full operational range (≈100kHz to 2.2MHz depending on load and VIN).
