MCP1624T-I/MC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MCP1624T-I/MC is a Voltage Regulator IC manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed for power management applications in PIC® Microcontroller systems. This single-output converter operates with input voltage range of 0.8V to 5.5V and delivers regulated output voltage between 2V and 5.5V. The device is housed in an 8-DFN (2x3) package with exposed pad and is rated for operating temperatures from -40°C to 85°C. The MCP1624T-I/MC is currently in active product status and carries ROHS3 compliance certification. Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications, package compatibility, and regulatory compliance to ensure functional equivalence in power management applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MCP1624T-I/MC are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Input voltage range: 0.8V ~ 5.5V
• Output voltage range: 2V ~ 5.5V
• Number of outputs: 1
• Package type: 8-DFN (2x3) with exposed pad
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The MCP1624-I/MC qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and package configuration. The primary difference is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute is supplied in Tube format. Both variants share the same base product number (MCP1624) and maintain full functional and electrical equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MCP1624T-I/MC and MCP1624-I/MC are active products from Microchip Technology with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and supply chain requirements:

• MCP1624T-I/MC: Select when Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes or high-volume production environments.
• MCP1624-I/MC: Select when Tube packaging is acceptable or preferred for lower-volume applications or manual assembly processes.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compliance across all applicable markets. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints for storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MCP1624T-I/MC and MCP1624-I/MC electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including input voltage range (0.8V ~ 5.5V), output voltage range (2V ~ 5.5V), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), and single-output configuration.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. MCP1624T-I/MC is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while MCP1624-I/MC is supplied in Tube format. The physical component and electrical performance are identical.

Q: Can I use MCP1624-I/MC as a direct replacement for MCP1624T-I/MC?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process and supply chain can accommodate Tube packaging instead of Tape & Reel packaging. The electrical and mechanical specifications are fully equivalent.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both MCP1624T-I/MC and MCP1624-I/MC are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these parts?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity classification. These parts have unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions and do not require special moisture control measures during handling or storage.

Q: Are there any thermal or performance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts operate identically across the full temperature range of -40°C to 85°C with no performance variations.
