MPQ2918GL-AEC1-Z

I can’t locate a public datasheet for MPQ2918GL-AEC1-Z in my current data. It appears to be an automotive-grade MPQ-series device from Monolithic Power Systems (MPS), with “AEC1” indicating automotive qualification. MPQ parts typically are power-management ICs (DC-DC regulators or LED drivers) with integrated MOSFETs, aimed at automotive power rails and related applications.
If you have the datasheet or a link, I can craft a precise, concise intro (under 180 words) covering:
- function (what the device regulates or drives)
- key specs (input range, output, efficiency, switching frequency)
- protections (OC/UVLO/thermal, etc.)
- packaging and automotive-grade features
- typical applications
Share the datasheet or link and I’ll summarize accurately.

I don’t have the MPQ2918GL‑AEC1‑Z datasheet memorized. Please share a link or upload the datasheet and I’ll extract the exact features.
For a quick idea, automotive MPQ devices like this typically offer:
- Wide input voltage range and regulated output
- High efficiency and fast soft‑start
- Overcurrent/short‑circuit, overvoltage, and thermal protection
