MPQ2013GQ-Z Linear Voltage Regulator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPQ2013GQ-Z 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 diverse power supply applications requiring compact form factors and low quiescent current operation.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when specific packaging or qualification requirements differ, or when supply chain optimization requires component alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility within defined parameter tolerances.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MPQ2013GQ-Z is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

Output configuration (Positive)
Output type (Adjustable)
Number of regulators (1)
Voltage input maximum (40V)
Voltage output range (1.215V to 15V minimum and maximum)
Current output (150mA)
Quiescent current (9µA)
Operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C)
Control features (Enable)
Protection features (Over Current, Over Temperature)

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

Package type (8-VDFN Exposed Pad)
Mounting type (Surface Mount)
Supplier device package (8-QFN 3x3)

Compliance Criteria:

RoHS3 compliance
MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)
REACH unaffected status

All substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel), voltage dropout specifications, supply current limits, and automotive qualification do not disqualify substitution when the primary electrical and mechanical requirements are met.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Selection among equivalent parts should be based on the following factors:

Packaging Format Considerations:

Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is appropriate for high-volume automated assembly operations
Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging is suitable for lower-volume production or mixed-component procurement

Voltage Dropout Performance:

MP2013AGQ series (both -P and -Z variants) offer reduced dropout voltage of 0.85V compared to the primary part's 0.9V
MPQ2013AGQ series maintains 1.1V dropout voltage
Lower dropout voltage reduces thermal dissipation in current-limited applications

Supply Current Characteristics:

MP2013AGQ series demonstrates lower maximum supply current (22µA) compared to MPQ2013GQ-Z and MPQ2013AGQ series (50µA)
Lower supply current extends battery life in low-power applications

Automotive Applications:

MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-P and MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-Z variants carry AEC-Q100 automotive qualification
These parts are required for automotive-grade applications but are functionally equivalent to standard-grade variants

Inventory Availability:

MP2013AGQ-Z offers the highest inventory level (50400 Pcs) among substitute options
MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-Z provides substantial automotive-qualified inventory (41676 Pcs)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications for output configuration, output type, voltage ranges, output current, quiescent current, operating temperature, and package type. The primary difference is reduced voltage dropout (0.85V vs. 0.9V) and lower supply current (22µA vs. 50µA), which are performance improvements. Packaging format differs (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® for both), making them mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the difference between standard-grade and AEC-Q100 qualified variants?

A: AEC-Q100 qualified parts (MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-P and MPQ2013AGQ-AEC1-Z) undergo additional automotive-specific testing and qualification. These variants are required for automotive applications but are electrically equivalent to standard-grade parts. Non-automotive applications do not require AEC-Q100 qualification.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® are packaging and delivery formats only. Electrical performance and specifications remain identical regardless of packaging format. Selection should be based on assembly process requirements and procurement volume.

Q: Are all substitute parts manufactured by the same company?

A: Yes. All parts listed are manufactured by Monolithic Power Systems or Monolithic Power Systems Inc. Variations in manufacturer designation reflect different regional or subsidiary entities of the same parent company.

Q: What does the suffix letter (-P or -Z) indicate?

A: The suffix indicates packaging format. -P denotes Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while -Z denotes Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging. Electrical specifications are independent of this designation.

Q: Can I substitute an automotive-qualified part in a non-automotive application?

A: Yes. Automotive-qualified parts (AEC-Q100) meet or exceed standard-grade specifications and are fully compatible in non-automotive applications. This substitution introduces no technical risk and may provide additional qualification margin.

Q: Which substitute offers the best performance for battery-powered applications?

A: MP2013AGQ series variants (both -P and -Z) are optimal for battery-powered applications due to reduced quiescent current (9µA) combined with lower maximum supply current (22µA), resulting in extended battery life compared to other variants.
