Product details
Overview
MPQ7200AGLE-AEC1-P from Monolithic Power Systems is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified synchronous buck-boost or buck LED driver IC with integrated 44mΩ/40mΩ MOSFETs, delivering up to 1.2A continuous output in buck-boost mode or 3A in buck mode across 6V–42V input, operating at 410kHz with spread-spectrum FSS, and featuring fault-indicated OCP/OVP/UVP/thermal derating/shutdown.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ7200AGLE-AEC1-P datasheet, MPQ7200AGLE-AEC1-P pinout, MPQ7200AGLE-AEC1-P application, or MPQ7200AGLE-AEC1-P equivalent, this device supports automotive LED lighting design requiring high-current precision dimming, wide-input resilience, thermal robustness, and fault diagnostics in compact QFN-19 (3mm×4mm) wettable flank packaging.
Technical Context
The MPQ7200AGLE-AEC1-P implements constant-frequency hysteretic control for fast transient response without loop compensation, using band-gap reference-based current regulation and configurable two-step dimming via DUTY pin resistor setting (5–15% duty, 1% steps). Its dual-mode topology selection (buck vs. buck-boost) is determined by RIREF resistor value: ≤9.09kΩ enables buck-boost; ≥14.7kΩ selects buck.
It integrates full protection logic-including LED short-to-GND/battery, LED open, output OVP (20.5V typ), UVLO (6V rising), thermal derating (NTC-based), and latch-off OCP-with active-low FAULT signaling. The internal VCC regulator supplies gate drivers and logic, requiring ≥3µF decoupling capacitance close to the VCC pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6V to 42V - supports full automotive battery range including load dump (42V max) and cold-crank conditions. |
| LED Output Current | Up to 1.2A (buck-boost) or 3A (buck) - set via external ISET resistor with ±5% accuracy over 700mA–1.2A (BB) or 1A–2A (buck). |
| Switching Frequency | 410kHz nominal with ±10% spread spectrum - reduces EMI peak emissions and simplifies filtering. |
| Internal MOSFET RDS(on) | 44mΩ (HS) / 40mΩ (LS) - enables high efficiency (>94% at 13.5V, 2A, 2 LEDs) and low thermal dissipation. |
| Dimming Support | PWM dimming (100Hz–2kHz) + internal 500Hz two-step dimming - provides flexible brightness control without external controller. |

| AEC-Q100 Qualification | Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient, TJ up to +150°C) - validated for under-hood automotive LED lighting applications. |
Pinout & Package
MPQ7200AGLE-AEC1-P is housed in a space-saving QFN-19 (3mm × 4mm) package with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection (AOI) and enhanced solder joint reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 DUTY | Two-step dimming duty configuration | Resistor-to-ground sets 5–15% dimming duty cycle; open/short causes latch-off and FAULT assertion. |
| 3 EN/DIM | Enable and PWM dimming input | Pull >2.5V for full-on; apply 100Hz–2kHz signal for PWM dimming; configures topology during startup edge. |
| 4,13 VIN | Main power input | Accepts 6V–42V supply; requires local CIN decoupling; supports load dump up to 42V. |
| 5,6,11,12 PGND | Power ground return | Reference for HS/LS MOSFETs, BST, SW, and configuration pins; critical for thermal and EMI layout. |
| 7 BST | Bootstrap supply node | Connects external capacitor between BST and SW to drive high-side MOSFET gate; resistor optional for EMI reduction. |
| 8,9 SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor; small PCB trace minimizes ringing; connects to BST capacitor and inductor. |
| 10 FAULT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulls low on LED short/open, OVP, UVP, OCP, or thermal fault; includes 300kΩ pull-up to VIN. |
| 14 INGND | Buck-boost topology ground reference | Must be isolated from PGND in buck-boost mode; tied to PGND/AGND in buck mode. |
| 15 AGND | Analog ground reference | Reference for ISET, IREF, NTC, DUTY; connect externally to PGND with low-impedance trace. |
| 16 VCC | Internal bias supply | Regulated ~5.1V output; requires ≥3µF X7R ceramic cap placed adjacent to pin for stable gate driving. |
| 17 IREF | Topology selection & NTC reference | Resistor value selects buck (≥14.7kΩ) or buck-boost (≤9.09kΩ); sets NTC current scaling (5× or 50×). |
| 18 ISET | LED current programming | Resistor-to-ground sets average LED current; open/short triggers FAULT latch-off. |
| 19 NTC | Remote temperature sensing input | Connects NTC/resistor network to enable thermal derating; protected against shorts to all rails. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ7200GQ-AEC1-Z | Same die, QFN-20 (4mm×4mm) package without wettable flanks; no DUTY pin - lacks two-step dimming. | Suitable for non-dimming or externally controlled PWM systems where AOI is not required. | Select when board-level AOI is unnecessary and footprint size is less constrained than lead coplanarity. |
| LM3409QMY/NOPB | External MOSFET controller (no integrated FETs); 1.25MHz fixed frequency; no spread spectrum or NTC interface. | Requires external high-side switch and separate thermal monitoring circuitry. | Choose only if higher switching frequency or discrete FET optimization is prioritized over integration and automotive qualification depth. |
Compared with MPQ7200GQ-AEC1-Z, the MPQ7200AGLE-AEC1-P adds wettable flanks for solder-joint inspection and two-step dimming; versus LM3409QMY/NOPB, it delivers full integration, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 validation, and embedded thermal management - reducing system-level design effort and test complexity.

FAQ
What topology configurations does MPQ7200AGLE-AEC1-P support?
The MPQ7200AGLE-AEC1-P supports both buck and buck-boost topologies. Mode selection is determined by the resistor value connected to the IREF pin: ≥14.7kΩ configures buck mode (up to 3A), while ≤9.09kΩ selects buck-boost mode (up to 1.2A). This dual-mode capability allows one IC to serve multiple LED string configurations without redesign.
How is LED current accuracy maintained across temperature and input voltage?
LED current accuracy is maintained at ±5% from 700mA to 1.2A (buck-boost) or 1A to 2A (buck) through internal band-gap referenced current sensing and closed-loop hysteretic control. Electrical characterization confirms <±3% variation over 8V–20V input and −40°C to +100°C junction temperature, as shown in Figures 15–17 of the datasheet.
Does MPQ7200AGLE-AEC1-P require external current-sense resistors?
No. The MPQ7200AGLE-AEC1-P uses integrated current sensing via its internal MOSFETs and ISET pin voltage reference (0.592V typ), eliminating the need for external sense resistors. This reduces power loss, PCB area, and BOM cost while improving accuracy stability across temperature.
What fault conditions trigger the FAULT pin, and how is recovery handled?
The FAULT pin asserts low for LED short (to GND or battery), LED open, output over-voltage (20.5V), under-voltage (1.35V), over-current, thermal derating activation, or thermal shutdown. Recovery requires cycling EN/DIM or power reset - the device latches off until re-enabled, preventing uncontrolled restart during fault persistence.
Can MPQ7200AGLE-AEC1-P operate with a 48V input transient?
No. The absolute maximum VIN rating is +50V, but the recommended operating maximum is 42V, aligned with ISO 7637-2 Load Dump Pulse 5a specification. Sustained operation above 42V risks damage; external TVS clamping is required for 48V transients beyond standard automotive test profiles.
Is the QFN-19 wettable flank package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes. The MPQ7200AGLE-AEC1-P's QFN-19 (3mm×4mm) wettable flank package complies with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C). Wettable flanks enable reliable solder fillet inspection without x-ray, meeting automotive process audit requirements.
