Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MP2617AGL-P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Battery chemistry and cell count (Lithium Ion, 1 cell)
• Battery pack voltage specification (4.35V)
• Maximum supply voltage rating (10V)
• Charging current control method (Constant - Programmable)
• Programmable timer functionality
• Fault protection capability (Over Temperature)
• USB interface requirement
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C)
• Package geometry and pin count (20-QFN 3x4)
• Surface-mount mounting type
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

The MP2617AGL-Z meets all these criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent. The only difference between these parts is the packaging format: MP2617AGL-P is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while MP2617AGL-Z is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Both parts share the same base product number (MP2617) and identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MP2617AGL-P and MP2617AGL-Z are active products from Monolithic Power Systems Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by supply chain and manufacturing requirements rather than technical performance.

MP2617AGL-P in Tape & Reel format is suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where continuous reel feeding is required. MP2617AGL-Z in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format provides flexibility for lower-volume production runs or mixed-component assembly scenarios. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility across manufacturing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MP2617AGL-Z be used as a direct replacement for MP2617AGL-P in production?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications, package geometry, and functional capabilities. The only difference is the packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®). Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically valid.

Q: What determines whether these parts are interchangeable?

A: Interchangeability is based on matching battery chemistry (Lithium Ion), cell count (1), voltage ratings (4.35V battery, 10V supply maximum), charging control method (Constant - Programmable), protection features (Over Temperature), interface type (USB), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C), and package specification (20-QFN 3x4). All these parameters are identical between the two parts.

Q: Does the packaging format affect circuit performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® are supply and handling formats only. They do not affect the electrical performance, thermal characteristics, or functional behavior of the IC itself.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both MP2617AGL-P and MP2617AGL-Z operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 125°C (junction temperature), ensuring equivalent thermal performance in the same application environment.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating for these parts?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture bake-out requirements. This simplifies inventory management and reduces handling constraints compared to higher MSL ratings.
