Product details
Overview
MPQ8112GJ-AEC1-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a 60V AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified high-side current-sense amplifier with fixed 50V/V gain, 700kHz bandwidth, 300µA supply current, and 0V–60V common-mode input range. It operates from 2.7V to 60V supply and delivers precise voltage-output current sensing for battery monitoring in automotive ADAS and EPS systems.
For engineers reviewing the MPQ8112GJ-AEC1-Z datasheet, MPQ8112GJ-AEC1-Z pinout, MPQ8112GJ-AEC1-Z application, or MPQ8112GJ-AEC1-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed-gain voltage-output architecture, TSOT23-6L package compatibility, V5 enable/disable control, ±1% gain accuracy, and high-side sensing capability without ground-path disruption.
Technical Context
The MPQ8112GJ-AEC1-Z implements a precision current mirror topology with internal 1kΩ common-input resistors (RIN_1/RIN_2) and a 10kΩ internal output resistor (RIN_OUT), yielding a fixed 50V/V gain. Its V5 pin provides digital on/off control via 1.9V/2.0V UVLO thresholds, enabling low-power shutdown with 0.2µA typical quiescent current.
It supports high-side sensing across 0V–60V common-mode voltage while maintaining 300µV input offset voltage and 65–90dB CMRR. The device integrates back-to-back clamping diodes (±400mV) between RG1/RG2 pins and requires no external gain-setting resistors-unlike the adjustable-gain MPQ8112A variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 60V - powers internal amplifier and current mirror; bypass capacitor required between VCC and GND. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 0V to 60V - enables direct high-side sensing at battery rail without ground interference. |
| Gain | 50V/V fixed - eliminates external gain-resistor selection; output = 50 × ISENSE × RSENSE. |
| Bandwidth | 700kHz - supports fast transient response (500ns rise/fall) for short-circuit protection loops. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 300µV typical - limits measurement error at low sense voltages (e.g., <50mV full-scale). |
| Supply Current | 300µA typical - enables low-power operation in always-on vehicle subsystems. |
| V5 Enable Threshold | 1.9V lower / 2.0V upper - provides clean digital enable/disable control with 1mA sink capability. |
Pinout & Package
MPQ8112GJ-AEC1-Z is housed in a 6-lead TSOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 0.85mm), moisture sensitivity level 1, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified for automotive under-hood use.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OUT | Output voltage node | Delivers amplified voltage output; no external load resistor required; floating allowed. |
| 2 RG2 | Negative gain resistor terminal | Connects directly to load side of RSENSE; internal 1kΩ resistor sets fixed gain path. |
| 3 RG1 | Positive gain resistor terminal | Connects directly to power side of RSENSE; internal 1kΩ resistor completes differential input path. |
| 4 VCC | Main power supply input | Supplies internal amplifier and current mirror; requires 0.1–1µF ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| 5 GND | Analog ground reference | Return path for internal circuitry; must be low-impedance and routed close to VCC bypass cap. |
| 6 V5 | Enable/disable control supply | Digital on/off pin: >2.0V enables, <1.9V disables; sinks up to 1mA; requires 10–100nF bypass cap. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side current-sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX40056ATA+T | 500kHz bandwidth, 2.7V–65V supply, 250µA IQ, but requires external gain resistors and lacks V5 enable control. | Used in industrial motor drives where programmability outweighs automotive qualification needs. | Select when adjustable gain and wider supply range are prioritized over AEC-Q100 compliance and integrated enable logic. |
| INA240A1QPWRQ1 | 4V/V fixed gain, 800kHz bandwidth, 2.7V–80V supply, 2.4mA IQ, and integrated PWM rejection - no V5 pin. | Deployed in EV inverter DC-link monitoring where high common-mode rejection at switching frequencies is critical. | Select when PWM noise immunity and ultra-wide common-mode range (>60V) are required, accepting higher quiescent current. |
Compared with MAX40056ATA+T and INA240A1QPWRQ1, MPQ8112GJ-AEC1-Z uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, V5-controlled shutdown, fixed 50V/V gain, and 300µA IQ in TSOT23-6L - making it optimal for space-constrained, low-power automotive subsystems requiring deterministic enable timing and minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the function of the V5 pin on MPQ8112GJ-AEC1-Z?
The V5 pin serves as a digital enable/disable control input. Pulling V5 above 2.0V activates the device; pulling it below 1.9V places it in shutdown mode with 0.2µA typical quiescent current. It supplies the internal trim and control block and must source ≥1mA with a 10–100nF ceramic bypass capacitor.
Can MPQ8112GJ-AEC1-Z be used with a 48V battery system?
Yes. Its 0V–60V common-mode input range and 2.7V–60V supply voltage rating fully support 48V automotive systems. The device maintains ±1% gain accuracy and 300µV offset across -40°C to +125°C, meeting requirements for 48V mild-hybrid EPS and BMS applications.
Does MPQ8112GJ-AEC1-Z require external gain-setting resistors?
No. Unlike the MPQ8112A variant, MPQ8112GJ-AEC1-Z integrates internal 1kΩ common-input resistors and a 10kΩ output resistor to deliver a fixed 50V/V gain. RG1 and RG2 pins connect directly to the sense resistor terminals without external components.
How does the MPQ8112GJ-AEC1-Z handle overvoltage transients on RG1/RG2?
It features integrated back-to-back clamping diodes between RG1 and RG2 with ±400mV threshold and 100mA sink capacity. When VSENSE exceeds this range, the diodes limit voltage stress - provided external RG1/RG2 traces are designed to limit peak current below 100mA during fault conditions.
What is the maximum allowable output voltage (VOUT) for MPQ8112GJ-AEC1-Z?
VOUT is limited to 20V maximum due to internal output resistor (RIN_OUT) voltage rating. This constraint applies regardless of VCC level. For example, at VCC = 60V, VOUT must remain ≤20V - requiring appropriate RSENSE and gain scaling to avoid saturation.
Is MPQ8112GJ-AEC1-Z compatible with standard TSOT23-6L PCB footprints?
Yes. It uses the JEDEC MO-193 AB-compliant TSOT23-6L package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 0.85mm). Recommended land pattern matches standard IPC-7351B Type C footprint, with thermal pad grounding optional per MPS layout guidelines in Figure 6 of the datasheet.
What differentiates MPQ8112GJ-AEC1-Z from MPQ8112AGJ-AEC1-Z?
MPQ8112GJ-AEC1-Z is the fixed 50V/V voltage-output version; MPQ8112AGJ-AEC1-Z is the current-output variant with adjustable gain set by external RG1/RG2 and ROUT resistors. They share identical package, AEC-Q100 qualification, and pinout, but differ in internal architecture and output interface.
