MP2013AGQ-18-Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MP2013AGQ-18-Z is a linear voltage regulator IC from Monolithic Power Systems Inc., classified as a Power Management (PMIC) component. This device delivers a fixed positive 1.8V output at 150mA with integrated over-current and over-temperature protection. The part is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for applications requiring regulated low-voltage power delivery in compact surface-mount form factors. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, packaging preferences, or specific dropout voltage requirements while maintaining functional equivalence.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MP2013AGQ-18-Z are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the MP2013 product family. The substitution criteria are:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Output voltage: 1.8V fixed
• Output current: 150mA
• Input voltage maximum: 40V
• Quiescent current: 10 µA
• Supply current maximum: 50 µA
• PSRR: 58dB ~ 41dB (100Hz ~ 1kHz)
• Control features: Enable
• Protection features: Over Current, Over Temperature
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 125°C (TJ)

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package type: 8-VDFN Exposed Pad
• Device package: 8-QFN (3x3)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount

Allowed Variations:

• Voltage dropout (Max): 0.95V @ 100mA (main part) to 1.1V @ 100mA (substitutes)
• Packaging format: Bulk or Tape & Reel (TR)

The substitute parts MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-P and MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z meet all electrical and mechanical requirements while differing only in packaging format and dropout voltage specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—MP2013AGQ-18-Z, MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-P, and MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z—are active products from Monolithic Power Systems Inc. with identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH status, and regulatory classification (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8542.39.0001).

Selection between these parts is determined by:

1. Packaging Format: MP2013AGQ-18-Z is supplied in bulk packaging, while MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-P and MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Choose based on assembly line requirements and inventory management practices.

2. Dropout Voltage Specification: The main part specifies 0.95V maximum dropout at 100mA, while substitute parts specify 1.1V maximum dropout at 100mA. In applications where input voltage margin is limited, the lower dropout specification of MP2013AGQ-18-Z may be preferred. For applications with adequate input voltage headroom, the substitute parts are functionally equivalent.

3. Inventory Availability: Current stock levels are MP2013AGQ-18-Z (1065 pcs), MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-P (724 pcs), and MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z (932 pcs). Selection may be driven by procurement lead times and supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-P and MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z be used interchangeably with MP2013AGQ-18-Z?

A: Yes, within the constraints of your application's input voltage margin. All three parts deliver identical 1.8V fixed output at 150mA with the same protection features and operating temperature range. The primary difference is dropout voltage specification (0.95V vs. 1.1V @ 100mA) and packaging format (bulk vs. Tape & Reel). If your circuit design accommodates the higher dropout voltage of the substitute parts, they are functionally equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between MP2013AGQ-18-Z and the MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1 variants?

A: The MP2013AGQ-18-Z is the base part number with bulk packaging. The MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-P and MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z variants are Tape & Reel packaged versions with slightly higher maximum dropout voltage (1.1V vs. 0.95V @ 100mA). The "AEC1" designation indicates automotive-grade qualification. All other electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Bulk packaging and Tape & Reel packaging contain identical die and internal circuitry. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and assembly line compatibility. Electrical performance, reliability, and compliance certifications are unchanged.

Q: Are these parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-P and MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1-Z variants carry AEC1 automotive qualification. The base MP2013AGQ-18-Z does not carry this designation. If automotive qualification is required, use the MPQ2013AGQ-18-AEC1 variants.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture bake-out requirements. These parts can be stored and handled under standard conditions without special moisture control procedures.

Q: Can I mix parts from different packaging formats in the same production run?

A: Yes, provided your assembly equipment can handle both bulk and Tape & Reel formats. Electrical performance and reliability are identical. Verify compatibility with your pick-and-place equipment and assembly procedures.
