MP2636GR-P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MP2636GR-P is a single-cell lithium ion/polymer battery charger IC manufactured by Monolithic Power Systems Inc. in a 30-QFN (4x4) surface mount package. This active product integrates programmable charging current and timer functions with comprehensive fault protection including over-temperature, over-voltage, and short-circuit detection. The device operates across an extended temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and supports a maximum charging current of 3A with a battery pack voltage of 4.2V. Finding equivalent or substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or packaging format requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MP2636GR-P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: battery chemistry (Lithium Ion/Polymer), single-cell configuration, maximum charging current (3A), battery pack voltage (4.2V), maximum supply voltage (6V), operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), package type (30-PowerVFQFN), surface mount mounting type, programmable current and timer features, and fault protection capabilities (over-temperature, over-voltage, short-circuit). The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to packaging format: the MP2636GR-P is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute MP2636GR-Z is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, compliance certifications, and functional characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MP2636GR-P and MP2636GR-Z are active products from Monolithic Power Systems Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and supply requirements. The MP2636GR-P in Tape & Reel format is suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations. The MP2636GR-Z in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format provides flexibility for lower-volume applications or mixed component sourcing. Both parts maintain full ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints for either part. Selection does not require functional re-qualification as electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and protection features are identical across both variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MP2636GR-P and MP2636GR-Z electrically identical? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including 3A maximum charging current, 4.2V battery pack voltage, 6V maximum supply voltage, -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range, and identical fault protection features.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts? A: The primary difference is packaging format. MP2636GR-P is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while MP2636GR-Z is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. The physical component and pin configuration remain identical.

Q: Can I substitute MP2636GR-Z for MP2636GR-P in my design? A: Yes, provided your assembly process can accommodate the Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging format. The 30-QFN (4x4) package dimensions and pin assignments are identical, requiring no PCB or schematic modifications.

Q: Do both parts require the same handling and storage procedures? A: Yes. Both parts have an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. Storage and handling procedures are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences? A: No. Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification.

Q: Which part should I select for high-volume production? A: MP2636GR-P in Tape & Reel format is optimized for high-volume automated assembly. MP2636GR-Z in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format is suitable for lower-volume or mixed sourcing scenarios.
