Product details
Overview
MPQ4571GQBE-AEC1-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a fully integrated, AEC-Q100 Grade-1 qualified synchronous buck converter delivering 1A continuous output current with 4.5V–60V input range, 2μA shutdown quiescent current, and internal 250mΩ/45mΩ MOSFETs. It operates in automotive infotainment power rails where cold-crank (4.5V) and load-dump (60V) transients occur.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ4571GQBE-AEC1-Z datasheet, MPQ4571GQBE-AEC1-Z pinout, MPQ4571GQBE-AEC1-Z application, or MPQ4571GQBE-AEC1-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 qualification, wettable flank QFN-12 package for solder joint inspection, valley-current OCP with hiccup SCP, and 180° out-of-phase SYNC clock output for multi-rail synchronization.
Technical Context
The MPQ4571GQBE-AEC1-Z employs peak-current-mode control with valley-current over-current protection and zero-cross detection for accurate light-load regulation. Its advanced asynchronous modulation (AAM) dynamically scales switching frequency below 400kHz under light loads to minimize gate driver and switching losses.
It integrates internal compensation, soft-start (0.45ms), power-good (PG) with ±16% window, and low-dropout mode enabling stable operation down to 4.5V input-critical for automotive cold-crank conditions. The CCM/SYNCO pin supports both forced continuous conduction mode and 180° phase-shifted clock output for synchronized multi-converter systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 60V - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank (4.5V) and load-dump (60V) events |
| Output Current | 1A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and display logic in automotive modules |
| Quiescent Current | 40μA typical - enables always-on subsystems without excessive battery drain |
| Shutdown Current | 2μA - meets ultra-low-power requirements for vehicle sleep-mode compliance |
| Switching Frequency | Configurable 300kHz–2.2MHz via external resistor - allows EMI optimization and compact magnetics selection |
| FB Reference Voltage | 0.800V ±1% at 25°C - enables precise output regulation with standard resistor dividers |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170°C with 25°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload in enclosed automotive enclosures |
Pinout & Package
MPQ4571GQBE-AEC1-Z is housed in a wettable flank QFN-12 package (2.5mm × 3mm), enabling automated optical solder-joint inspection per automotive manufacturing standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST | Bootstrap supply | Connects external capacitor between BST and SW to bias high-side gate driver during HS-FET conduction |
| SW | Power switch node | Drives external inductor; requires wide PCB trace and low-inductance layout to minimize ringing |
| PG | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output asserting high when VOUT is within 90–108% of target; pulls low at <84% or >116% |
| FB | Feedback input | Negative input of error amplifier; connects to resistor divider to set output voltage and enable PG/UVLO monitoring |
| FREQ | Frequency setting | Resistor-to-GND sets switching frequency from 300kHz to 2.2MHz for EMI and size trade-offs |
| VCC | Internal bias supply | Requires ≥1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor close to pin for stable gate drive and control circuitry |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary thermal and signal return; must connect to large copper pour tied to input/output capacitors |
| IN | Main power input | Accepts 4.5V–60V; requires local ceramic capacitor to suppress switching noise and transients |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; threshold 1.45V typical; floating or low disables converter and reduces IQ to 2μA |
| CCM/SYNCO | Mode select & sync output | Pull to GND via 10k–300kΩ for forced CCM; float for AAM; outputs 180° out-of-phase clock for multi-rail sync |
| NC (9,10) | No connection | Internally unconnected; recommended to tie to GND for improved thermal dissipation and EMI performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wettable flank QFN-12 | Enables automated X-ray and AOI inspection of solder joints per IATF 16949 requirements |
| AEC-Q100 Grade-1 qualification | Rated for -40°C to +125°C junction temperature - validated for under-hood and infotainment applications |
| Valley-current OCP with hiccup SCP | Detects overcurrent at switch turn-off point and enters safe restart cycle on short-circuit, preventing thermal runaway |
| Low-dropout mode | Maintains regulation down to VIN = 4.5V with minimal duty-cycle loss - essential for cold-crank survival |
| 180° out-of-phase SYNC clock | Reduces input ripple current in multi-converter systems by interleaving phases without external timing controller |
| Internal compensation | Eliminates need for external Type-II/III compensation network - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM61480-Q1 | 4.5V–60V input, 1A, but uses external compensation and lacks wettable flank package | Requires additional compensation components and manual solder-joint inspection | Preferred when design already uses TI ecosystem tools and external compensation is acceptable |
| TPS543B20 | 4.5V–20V input only; not rated for 60V load-dump; supports PMBus but no AEC-Q100 Grade-1 | Limited to low-voltage automotive domains (e.g., ADAS cameras), not under-hood or chassis systems | Select only for non-critical 12V subsystems where digital interface outweighs voltage rating needs |
Compared with LM61480-Q1 and TPS543B20, MPQ4571GQBE-AEC1-Z uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade-1, wettable flank QFN, internal compensation, and 60V transient tolerance-making it the only drop-in solution for space-constrained, high-reliability automotive power rails requiring automated optical inspection and cold-crank resilience.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the CCM/SYNCO pin?
The CCM/SYNCO pin serves dual functions: pulling it to GND via 10kΩ–300kΩ selects forced continuous conduction mode, while leaving it floating enables advanced asynchronous modulation (AAM) at light loads. It also outputs a 180° out-of-phase clock signal to synchronize multiple converters and reduce input ripple current.
How does the MPQ4571GQBE-AEC1-Z handle cold-crank conditions?
It maintains regulation down to 4.5V input via low-dropout mode, which maximizes duty cycle without compromising stability. Combined with valley-current OCP and 170°C thermal shutdown, it survives extended cold-crank events while keeping downstream electronics powered and functional.
Is external compensation required?
No. The MPQ4571GQBE-AEC1-Z features internal compensation, eliminating external Type-II or Type-III networks. This reduces bill-of-materials count, simplifies layout, and improves production yield-especially critical in automotive applications with tight space constraints.
What distinguishes the "E" suffix in MPQ4571GQBE-AEC1-Z?
The "E" denotes the wettable flank variant of the QFN-12 package. Unlike standard QFN, its side-wettable leads allow automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints-a mandatory requirement for IATF 16949-compliant automotive manufacturing lines.
Does the device support power sequencing with other rails?
Yes. The EN pin provides precise enable/disable control with 1.45V typical threshold and 330mV hysteresis, while the open-drain PG output signals valid regulation status. These features enable robust power sequencing in multi-rail systems such as infotainment head units or telematics gateways.
What protection features are integrated?
Integrated protections include valley-current over-current protection (OCP), hiccup-mode short-circuit protection (SCP), input under-voltage lockout (UVLO) with 500mV hysteresis, auto-recovery thermal shutdown (170°C), and output over-voltage detection via PG flag-ensuring robust operation across automotive environmental stresses.
Can the switching frequency be synchronized to an external clock?
No-the CCM/SYNCO pin functions only as an output (180° out-of-phase clock) or mode-select input. It does not accept external synchronization signals. For master-slave synchronization, use the SYNCO output to drive the FREQ pin of a second MPQ4571 or compatible device.
