Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-Z is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Monolithic Power Systems Inc.
• Output Configuration: Positive
• Output Type: Adjustable
• Number of Regulators: 1
• Voltage - Input (Max): 40V
• Voltage - Output (Min/Fixed): 1.215V
• Voltage - Output (Max): 15V
• Current - Output: 150mA
• Package / Case: 6-VDFN Exposed Pad
• Supplier Device Package: 6-QFN (2x2)
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 125°C (TJ)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Allowed Variation Parameters:

• Voltage Dropout (Max): 0.85V to 1.1V @ 150mA
• Packaging Format: Bulk or Tape & Reel (TR)
• Grade and Qualification: Automotive-grade with AEC-Q100 or commercial-grade variants
• Quiescent Current (Iq) and Supply Current (Max): When specified, these parameters do not restrict substitution

All three substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically compatible with the main part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-P is the direct equivalent for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 qualification. This part maintains identical electrical specifications, automotive grade designation, and AEC-Q100 certification as the main part number. The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Bulk). Selection of this substitute is appropriate when supply of the main part is constrained and automotive qualification requirements must be preserved.

MPQ2013AGG-P is a commercial-grade variant with identical electrical specifications and packaging format to MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-P. This part is suitable for non-automotive applications or designs where AEC-Q100 qualification is not required. The absence of automotive grade and AEC-Q100 certification distinguishes this part from the main number.

MP2013AGG-P is a commercial-grade variant with improved dropout voltage performance (0.85V vs. 1.1V @ 150mA). This lower dropout characteristic may provide thermal or efficiency benefits in power-constrained applications. Like MPQ2013AGG-P, this part lacks automotive grade and AEC-Q100 certification. Selection is appropriate for non-automotive designs where the improved dropout specification provides system-level advantage.

All three substitutes are active products from the same manufacturer with confirmed inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MPQ2013AGG-P be used as a direct replacement for MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-Z in automotive applications?

A: No. MPQ2013AGG-P is commercial-grade and lacks AEC-Q100 qualification. Automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 certification must use MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-P or the main part number MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-Z.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage dropout difference between MP2013AGG-P (0.85V) and the other parts (1.1V)?

A: Voltage dropout determines the minimum input-to-output voltage differential required for proper regulation at rated output current. The lower 0.85V dropout of MP2013AGG-P reduces power dissipation and heat generation compared to the 1.1V dropout variants. This may be advantageous in applications with limited input voltage headroom or thermal constraints.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same package?

A: Yes. All parts use the 6-VDFN Exposed Pad package with 6-QFN (2x2) supplier device package. Packaging format differs: the main part is supplied in Bulk, while all three substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between Bulk and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Bulk packaging supplies components loose or in trays, typically for lower-volume orders or manual assembly. Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous tape for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Both formats contain identical components; the difference is in handling and assembly methodology.

Q: Can I substitute MP2013AGG-P for MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-Z if I add external protection?

A: External protection does not restore AEC-Q100 qualification or automotive-grade status. If your application requires automotive qualification, use MPQ2013AGG-AEC1-P or the main part number. External protection may address specific design concerns but does not satisfy automotive compliance requirements.

Q: Are there any quiescent current or supply current differences I should consider?

A: MP2013AGG-P specifies Quiescent Current (Iq) of 9 µA and Supply Current (Max) of 22 µA. The main part and other substitutes do not provide these specifications. If your design requires low quiescent current operation, MP2013AGG-P offers documented performance in this parameter.

Q: What is the base product number, and how does it relate to these part variants?

A: The base product number is MP2013 (or MPQ2013 for automotive variants). Suffixes and qualifiers indicate packaging, grade, and qualification status. All listed parts share the same base product number, confirming they are variants of the same core regulator design.
