MPQ18021HN-A-AEC1-LF-Z

Overview

The MPQ18021HN-A-AEC1-LF-Z is a high-frequency half-bridge gate driver from Monolithic Power Systems, designed for automotive applications. It features a supply voltage range of 9 V to 16 V and delivers an output current of 2.5 A. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and is housed in an SOIC-8 package. Key timing parameters include a rise time of 12 ns, a fall time of 9 ns, and a maximum propagation delay of 16 ns. This component is part of the MP18021 series and is qualified under AEC-Q100 standards.

Feature Summary

• Automotive-grade reliability with AEC-Q100 qualification
• High-speed switching capability with low propagation delay
• Robust half-bridge configuration for driving power switches

Applications

• Automotive power management systems
• Motor control circuits
• Industrial inverter drives

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'A' denotes automotive grade qualification distinct from standard industrial variants. Confirm the package marking matches the SOIC-8 specification. Ensure compatibility with the required 9 V to 16 V supply rails during system design validation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-frequency operation and automotive reliability are required. Compare against the MP18021HN-LF-Z if industrial grade suffices. Consider the 2.5 A output current capability relative to the target gate charge requirements of the connected power devices.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MP18021 family of half-bridge gate drivers. It shares functional similarities with the MP18021HN-LF-Z but includes automotive-specific qualifications. The MPQ prefix indicates MPS's automotive product line, ensuring compliance with stringent automotive environmental and reliability standards.

Replacement Considerations

The MP18021HN-LF-Z serves as a potential industrial-grade substitute if automotive qualification is not strictly required. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance before substitution.
