MP2625GL-Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MP2625GL-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 programmable charging current control, timer functionality, and over-temperature fault protection for 1-cell Li-Ion battery applications with 4.2V pack voltage.

The MP2625GL-Z carries a "Not For New Designs" product status, indicating it has been superseded in the manufacturer's product roadmap. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary for design continuity, inventory management, and ensuring long-term component availability for existing applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MP2625BGL-Z (Direct Substitute - Recommended for New Inventory)

The MP2625BGL-Z is the primary substitute for the MP2625GL-Z. It maintains identical core functionality across battery chemistry, cell count, pack voltage, package type, and thermal operating range. The MP2625BGL-Z carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and long-term availability. This part is available in standard Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® packaging formats suitable for production environments.

Design Consideration: The MP2625BGL-Z specifies a maximum charge current of 2A versus the MP2625GL-Z's 2.2A, and a maximum supply voltage of 10V versus 14V. These reductions in electrical ratings require verification that your application's charging current demand does not exceed 2A and that input supply voltage remains within the 10V maximum specification.

MP2625GL-P (Parametric Equivalent - Inventory Continuity)

The MP2625GL-P provides parametric equivalence to the MP2625GL-Z, matching the 2.2A charge current and 14V maximum supply voltage specifications. Both parts share "Not For New Designs" status. The MP2625GL-P is differentiated by Tape & Reel packaging format and lower current inventory levels (1,420 units versus 20,100 units for the main part). This part is suitable for design continuity and replacement scenarios where the original MP2625GL-Z specifications must be preserved exactly.

Compliance & Certification: All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), and identical thermal operating ranges (-40°C to 125°C junction temperature), ensuring regulatory and environmental consistency across substitution options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MP2625BGL-Z replace MP2625GL-Z in all applications?

A: MP2625BGL-Z is functionally compatible for applications where charging current demand does not exceed 2A and input supply voltage remains at or below 10V. If your design requires the full 2.2A charging capability or operates with supply voltages between 10V and 14V, the MP2625GL-P is the appropriate substitute.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape, Digi-Reel®, and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: These are packaging and delivery formats for the same IC. Cut Tape (CT) provides individual component strips for manual handling or small-scale assembly. Digi-Reel® is a proprietary reel format optimized for automated pick-and-place equipment. Tape & Reel (TR) is the standard reel format for high-volume production. All three formats contain the identical MP2625 series IC in the 20-PowerTFQFN package.

Q: Why does MP2625GL-Z have "Not For New Designs" status?

A: This designation indicates the part has been superseded in the manufacturer's product lifecycle. Existing designs using this part may continue, but new designs should evaluate the Active-status MP2625BGL-Z or other current-generation alternatives from Monolithic Power Systems Inc.

Q: Are there electrical differences between MP2625GL-Z and MP2625GL-P?

A: No. Both parts specify identical charge current (2.2A), supply voltage (14V maximum), battery voltage (4.2V), and thermal range (-40°C to 125°C). The difference is packaging format: MP2625GL-Z uses unspecified packaging, while MP2625GL-P uses Tape & Reel format.

Q: What does "Programmable Features: Timer" mean?

A: This indicates the charging timer duration can be configured via firmware or hardware settings. MP2625BGL-Z adds "Current" as an additional programmable feature, allowing charge current to be adjusted programmatically in addition to timer control.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. MP2625GL-Z, MP2625BGL-Z, and MP2625GL-P all carry ROHS3 compliance certification and are REACH Unaffected, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for EU and global markets.
