MP2615AGQ-Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MP2615AGQ-Z is a 2 A lithium-ion/polymer battery charger IC manufactured by Monolithic Power Systems Inc. This power management integrated circuit (PMIC) is designed for single or dual-cell battery charging applications with programmable charging current, timer, and voltage parameters. The device operates across a battery pack voltage range of 2V to 8.7V and supports supply voltages up to 18V maximum.

The MP2615AGQ-Z is classified as an active product with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Alternative part numbers become necessary when specific packaging requirements differ from the original specification, such as when transitioning between cut tape and tape & reel packaging formats for different manufacturing or procurement workflows.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MP2615AGQ-Z is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The primary substitution criterion is packaging format, which differentiates the main part from its equivalent alternative.

The MP2615AGQ-Z and MP2615AGQ-P share identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters:

• Battery chemistry and cell count capability (Lithium Ion/Polymer, 1 ~ 2 cells)
• Maximum charging current (2A)
• Battery pack voltage operating range (2V ~ 8.7V)
• Supply voltage maximum (18V)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C)
• Physical package and pinout (16-PowerVFQFN, 16-QFN 3x3)
• Programmable features (Current, Timer, Voltage)
• Fault protection mechanisms (Over Current, Over Temperature)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH unaffected)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The sole differentiating parameter is the packaging delivery format: the MP2615AGQ-Z is supplied in cut tape (CT) format, while the MP2615AGQ-P is supplied in tape & reel (TR) format. Both formats contain electrically and mechanically identical die and package configurations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MP2615AGQ-Z and MP2615AGQ-P are active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by procurement and manufacturing requirements rather than functional performance.

The MP2615AGQ-Z in cut tape packaging is suitable for lower-volume applications, manual assembly processes, or situations where smaller quantity increments are required. The MP2615AGQ-P in tape & reel packaging is appropriate for high-volume automated assembly operations where reel-based component feeding systems are employed.

Both parts maintain full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility across all applications. The MSL 1 rating indicates unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions for both variants.

Selection of either part does not impact circuit design, PCB layout, or functional performance. The choice is purely a matter of supply chain logistics and manufacturing process compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the MP2615AGQ-Z and MP2615AGQ-P electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts contain the same die, pinout, and electrical specifications. They differ only in packaging delivery format.

Q: Can I use MP2615AGQ-P in place of MP2615AGQ-Z in my design?

A: Yes. The MP2615AGQ-P is a direct functional equivalent. No circuit design changes are required.

Q: What is the difference between cut tape and tape & reel packaging?

A: Cut tape (CT) packaging delivers components in shorter tape segments suitable for manual handling or low-volume pick-and-place operations. Tape & reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous reels optimized for automated high-speed assembly equipment.

Q: Does packaging format affect the component's performance or reliability?

A: No. The internal die and electrical characteristics are identical. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and assembly methodology.

Q: Are both parts available in the same quantities?

A: Availability varies by packaging format. The MP2615AGQ-Z (cut tape) has 243,084 pieces in stock, while the MP2615AGQ-P (tape & reel) has 1,976 pieces in stock according to current inventory data.

Q: Which part should I specify for a new design?

A: Specify the part number that matches your manufacturing process. Use MP2615AGQ-Z for manual or low-volume assembly; use MP2615AGQ-P for automated high-volume production.

Q: Do both parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. Both the MP2615AGQ-Z and MP2615AGQ-P are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating.
