MPQ4242GVE-0001-AEC1-Z

Overview

The MPQ4242GVE-0001-AEC1-Z is a fully integrated USB Power Delivery (PD) solution designed for automotive applications, featuring an integrated buck-boost converter and a PD 3.1 DFP controller. It supports input voltages up to 36V and delivers up to 5A output current. The device is qualified under AEC-Q100 standards, ensuring reliability in harsh environments with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +150°C TJ. This monolithic IC simplifies design by combining power conversion and protocol control into a single package.

Feature Summary

• Fully integrated USB PD solution with combined buck-boost converter and PD 3.1 DFP controller
• Automotive-grade qualification compliant with AEC-Q100 standards
• Supports wide input voltage range up to 36V for flexible system integration

Applications

• Automotive infotainment systems requiring USB PD fast charging
• Vehicle docking stations and connectivity hubs
• In-car power distribution units supporting USB Type-C protocols

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes such as -Z or -P to ensure correct packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm AEC-Q100 qualification status is required for your specific automotive application tier. Check for any recent revisions in the datasheet regarding pinout or electrical characteristics before finalizing the bill of materials.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, single-chip solution for automotive USB PD 3.1 implementation is needed. It is suitable for designs requiring high efficiency across varying input battery voltages due to the buck-boost topology. Ensure the thermal management plan accounts for the 150°C junction temperature rating during peak load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPQ424x series of specialized PMICs from Monolithic Power Systems, targeting automotive USB-C applications. It complements other MPS automotive converters like the MPQ4232 and MPQ4262 by focusing specifically on protocol-integrated power delivery rather than standalone regulation.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Designers should consult official MPS resources for direct replacements or evaluate the MPQ4241GLE-0001-AEC1-P if a buck-only topology suffices.
