Product details
Overview
MPQ5071GG-AEC1-P from Monolithic Power Systems is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified programmable load switch delivering 0.5A continuous output current with 50mΩ RDS(ON) at 5V, operating across 0.5V–5.5V input range, featuring adjustable soft-start, output discharge, and fast short-circuit protection (<200ns) for automotive infotainment power rail control.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ5071GG-AEC1-P datasheet, MPQ5071GG-AEC1-P pinout, MPQ5071GG-AEC1-P application, or MPQ5071GG-AEC1-P equivalent, this device supports precise inrush current limiting via external ILIM resistor, push/pull PG signaling with 50µs delay, thermal shutdown at 150°C, and operates reliably from −40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The MPQ5071GG-AEC1-P integrates a charge-pump–driven DMOS power MOSFET and uses a sense-FET topology to achieve accurate, resistor-programmable current limiting (e.g., 0.5A with 24kΩ ILIM resistor). Its internal 11µA SS current source enables predictable slew-rate control of VOUT rise time via external capacitor.
It implements dual-stage overcurrent protection: primary regulation at user-set limit (response ~20µs), and secondary fast-off at ~7A (response <200ns). The PG pin provides push/pull status reporting with 140–450mV voltage-gap threshold and 60mV hysteresis, synchronized to VOUT stabilization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 0.5V to 5.5V - supports wide-input low-voltage systems including USB PD, battery-backed rails, and automotive 3.3V/5V domains. |
| RDS(ON) | 50mΩ typical at VCC = 5V - minimizes conduction loss (≤12.5mW at 0.5A), enabling high-efficiency power gating in space-constrained modules. |
| Current Limit | Programmable 0.5A (via 24kΩ ILIM-to-GND) - sets precise overload threshold to protect downstream circuitry without derating. |
| Short-Circuit Response | <200ns - limits peak fault current and input voltage sag during transient shorts, preserving system stability. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 30°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage under sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| PG Delay | 50µs - ensures reliable power-good assertion only after VOUT settles within 280mV of VIN, avoiding false enable signals. |
| Shutdown Current | <5µA at TJ = −40°C to +125°C - enables ultra-low-power state retention in always-on automotive modules. |
Pinout & Package
MPQ5071GG-AEC1-P is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-12 (2mm × 2mm) package with exposed thermal pad, rated MSL 1 and compatible with standard reflow profiles. Pin 1 is marked by index area on top surface; exposed pad must be soldered for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 EN | Enable control input | Pull ≥1.5V to activate; logic-low disables switch and engages output discharge. |
| 2 GND | Ground reference | Common return for control circuitry, current sensing, and thermal path to PCB. |
| 3 VCC | Bias supply input | 3V–5.5V supply for internal logic and charge pump; decoupling required near pin. |
| 4 ILIM | Current limit programming | Connect external resistor to GND to set precise overload threshold (e.g., 24kΩ → 0.5A). |
| 5 SS | Soft-start timing control | External capacitor sets VOUT slew rate via 11µA internal current source; min 4.7nF recommended. |
| 6, 11, Exposed Pad VIN | Main power input | High-current path for input supply; exposed pad enhances thermal dissipation and current handling. |
| 9 VOUT | Switched output | Delivers regulated load current; internal discharge FET pulls low when disabled. |
| 12 PG | Power-good status indicator | Push/pull output asserts high when |VIN − VOUT| < 280mV, with 50µs delay and 60mV hysteresis. |
| 7, 8, 10 NC | No-connect terminals | Internally unconnected; recommended to tie to VOUT for improved thermal conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Soft-Start Slew Rate | Controlled by external SS capacitor (e.g., 22nF → ~1ms soft-start), preventing backplane voltage droop during hot-plug events. |
| Output Discharge Function | Internal 200Ω pull-down discharges VOUT rapidly upon disable, eliminating floating outputs and ensuring safe sequencing. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 Qualification | Validated for −40°C to +125°C operation with full automotive reliability testing (HTOL, TC, ESD, etc.), suitable for front-end power domains. |
| Fast Short-Circuit Protection | Sub-200ns response isolates fault before bus collapse, enabling robust protection in shared power rails without external fuses. |
| Low Quiescent Current | <1µA off-state leakage and ≤1µA VCC standby current minimize battery drain in always-on vehicle modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS22919DBVR | Fixed 0.5A current limit; no ILIM programming; 44mΩ RDS(ON); no output discharge. | Lacks programmability and discharge function; requires external pull-down for sequencing. | Select when fixed-limit simplicity suffices and thermal margin allows higher RDS(ON) at 3.3V. |
| ON Semi NIS5132MN | AEC-Q100 Grade 2; 0.6A limit; 60mΩ RDS(ON); no soft-start adjustment; PG open-drain only. | Lower temperature grade (−40°C to +105°C); lacks push/pull PG and SS flexibility. | Choose for cost-sensitive non-critical zones where Grade 1 qualification is not mandated. |
Compared with TPS22919DBVR and NIS5132MN, MPQ5071GG-AEC1-P uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, resistor-programmable current limit, integrated output discharge, and adjustable soft-start-enabling precise, sequenced, and fault-resilient power control in demanding automotive subsystems.

FAQ
What is the minimum SS capacitor value for stable soft-start operation?
The datasheet specifies a minimum SS capacitor of 4.7nF to ensure controlled VOUT ramp-up. Using smaller values risks uncontrolled inrush current due to insufficient slew-rate limiting, potentially triggering current-limit regulation or violating system voltage tolerance specs during startup.
How does the ILIM resistor affect current-limit accuracy across temperature?
ILIM sets current limit via a fixed sense-ratio (S ≈ 33000 at 3.6V VIN); resistor tolerance and tempco directly impact accuracy. A 1% 25ppm/°C resistor yields ±1.5% total error over −40°C to +125°C, sufficient for most automotive load protection requirements without calibration.
Can the PG pin drive an MCU GPIO directly without external pull-up?
Yes-the PG pin is push/pull capable and sources/sinks current up to 1mA. It can directly interface with 3.3V or 5V MCU GPIOs; no external pull-up is needed, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count in space-constrained automotive modules.
Is the exposed thermal pad electrically isolated from internal circuitry?
Yes-the exposed pad is internally connected only to GND. It must be soldered to a PCB GND plane for both thermal performance and electrical safety; connecting it to any other net may cause malfunction or damage.
What happens during simultaneous overcurrent and thermal overload conditions?
When current limit regulation causes die temperature to reach 150°C, thermal shutdown overrides current limiting and forces immediate turn-off. After cooling below 120°C (150°C − 30°C hysteresis), the device auto-restarts-provided EN remains asserted and fault condition is cleared.
Does the MPQ5071GG-AEC1-P support reverse current blocking?
No-it is a single-direction load switch with body diode conduction from VOUT to VIN when disabled. For reverse-current protection, an external Schottky diode or dedicated ideal diode controller is required in series with the output.
How is short-circuit recovery handled after fast-off activation?
After fast-off triggers (~200ns), the power MOSFET remains off for 80µs, then attempts automatic restart. If short persists, current limit reduces progressively until thermal shutdown occurs; removal of fault restores full preset limit without reset.
