MPQ2013GQ-P Linear Voltage Regulator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPQ2013GQ-P is an active linear voltage regulator IC manufactured by Monolithic Power Systems, classified as a Power Management (PMIC) component. This positive adjustable regulator delivers 150mA output current in an 8-QFN (3x3) surface mount package and is currently in active production status. The device operates across an input voltage range up to 40V with adjustable output from 1.215V to 15V, making it suitable for general-purpose voltage regulation applications.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required for manufacturing processes, or when automotive-grade qualification is mandated for specific applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MPQ2013GQ-P is determined by the following criteria:

Core Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• 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
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 125°C (TJ)
• Package / Case: 8-VDFN Exposed Pad
• Supplier Device Package: 8-QFN (3x3)

Allowed Variations:

• Voltage Dropout (Max): Variations permitted (0.85V to 1.1V @ 150mA)
• Current - Quiescent (Iq): Fixed at 9 µA across all variants
• Current - Supply (Max): Variations permitted (22 µA to 50 µA)
• Packaging Format: Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel®
• Automotive Grade: Optional (AEC-Q100 qualification available)

All substitute parts maintain identical PSRR (58dB ~ 41dB at 100Hz ~ 1kHz), control features (Enable), and protection features (Over Current, Over Temperature). All parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Standard Industrial Applications (Non-Automotive): MP2013AGQ-Z offers the lowest voltage dropout specification (0.85V @ 150mA) with reduced quiescent current (22 µA) and the highest inventory availability (50,400 pcs). This variant is suitable when improved efficiency and lower power dissipation are design priorities.

For Tape & Reel Packaging Requirement: MP2013AGQ-P maintains Tape & Reel format with improved dropout performance compared to the primary part, while MPQ2013AGQ-P provides identical electrical characteristics to the main part with higher inventory levels (19,902 pcs).

For Automotive Applications: MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-Z and MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-P are qualified to AEC-Q100 automotive standards. The -Z variant (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) provides 41,676 pcs inventory availability, while the -P variant (Tape & Reel) offers 738 pcs. Both maintain identical electrical performance with 1.1V maximum dropout specification.

All substitute parts maintain active production status, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MP2013AGQ-P be used as a direct replacement for MPQ2013GQ-P?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical core electrical specifications: 40V maximum input, 1.215V to 15V adjustable output, 150mA output current, and 8-QFN (3x3) package. The MP2013AGQ-P variant features improved voltage dropout (0.85V vs. 0.9V) and lower quiescent current (22 µA vs. 50 µA), making it functionally superior for the same application.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is supplied on continuous tape wound on reels, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® provides individual tape segments on reels, offering flexibility for lower-volume production or mixed-component orders. Electrical performance is identical between packaging formats.

Q: Are automotive-grade variants (AEC-Q100) compatible with non-automotive designs?

A: Yes. Automotive-qualified parts (MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-P and MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-Z) meet or exceed industrial specifications and are fully compatible with non-automotive applications. These variants undergo additional qualification testing and are suitable for applications requiring higher reliability standards.

Q: What is the significance of voltage dropout differences (0.85V, 0.9V, 1.1V)?

A: Voltage dropout is the minimum voltage difference required between input and output for proper regulation. Lower dropout values (0.85V) reduce power dissipation and heat generation, beneficial for battery-powered or thermally constrained designs. Higher dropout values (1.1V) are acceptable in applications with adequate input voltage margin.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best inventory availability?

A: MP2013AGQ-Z (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging) provides the highest inventory level at 50,400 pcs, followed by MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-Z (automotive-qualified) at 41,676 pcs. Both maintain identical core electrical specifications to the primary part.

Q: Can I mix packaging formats within a single production run?

A: Packaging format selection should be determined by assembly equipment capability and production volume requirements. Electrical performance is identical across all packaging variants, allowing format selection based solely on manufacturing process compatibility.
