MP2617GL-Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MP2617GL-Z is a single-cell lithium-ion battery charger IC manufactured by Monolithic Power Systems Inc., housed in a 20-QFN (3x4) surface mount package. This device integrates constant-current/constant-voltage charging control with programmable timer functionality and over-temperature fault protection, designed for portable battery management applications requiring USB interface connectivity.

The MP2617GL-Z carries a "Not For New Designs" product status, indicating it has been superseded in the manufacturer's active product line. Identifying parametric equivalents with active production status ensures design continuity, supply chain reliability, and access to current manufacturing support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MP2617GL-Z is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Battery chemistry (Lithium Ion) and cell count (1 cell)
• Maximum charging current (3A) and battery pack voltage (4.2V)
• Supply voltage rating (14V maximum)
• Charging control method (Constant - Programmable) with timer programmability
• Fault protection capability (Over Temperature)
• USB interface requirement
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C)
• Physical package specification (20-PowerTFQFN, 20-QFN 3x4)
• Surface mount mounting type
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99)

The substitute parts MP2617HGL-P and MP2617HGL-Z maintain identical electrical specifications and package geometry, with differences limited to packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel) and product lifecycle status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MP2617HGL-P and MP2617HGL-Z are direct parametric equivalents to the MP2617GL-Z with active product status from Monolithic Power Systems Inc. Selection between these substitutes is determined by packaging and supply requirements:

MP2617HGL-P is supplied in Tape & Reel format with 1505 units in stock, suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations requiring standard reel packaging.

MP2617HGL-Z is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format with 59400 units in stock, providing greater supply availability and flexibility for both automated and manual assembly workflows.

All three parts maintain identical electrical performance, thermal operating range, compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99), and physical package dimensions. The transition from MP2617GL-Z to either active substitute ensures continued access to manufacturing support and supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MP2617HGL-P and MP2617HGL-Z electrically identical to MP2617GL-Z?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical specifications including charging current (3A maximum), battery voltage (4.2V), supply voltage rating (14V), programmable timer functionality, over-temperature protection, and USB interface. Operating temperature range, package geometry (20-QFN 3x4), and compliance certifications are identical across all three parts.

Q: What is the difference between MP2617HGL-P and MP2617HGL-Z?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. MP2617HGL-P is supplied in standard Tape & Reel format. MP2617HGL-Z is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format. Both are manufactured by Monolithic Power Systems Inc. with active product status. Electrical performance and package dimensions are identical.

Q: Can I use MP2617HGL-Z as a direct replacement for MP2617GL-Z in existing designs?

A: Yes. MP2617HGL-Z is a direct parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, package dimensions (20-PowerTFQFN), and mounting type (surface mount). The only difference is product lifecycle status (active vs. not for new designs) and packaging format.

Q: Why is MP2617GL-Z marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part has been superseded in the manufacturer's active product line. MP2617HGL-P and MP2617HGL-Z are the active equivalents. For new designs, selection of an active substitute ensures long-term supply availability and continued manufacturing support.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts carry identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and EAR99 classification. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts.

Q: Which substitute should I select for high-volume production?

A: MP2617HGL-Z is recommended for high-volume production due to significantly higher inventory availability (59400 units vs. 1505 units for MP2617HGL-P) and flexible packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel) compatible with both automated and manual assembly processes.
