MP4060GS-Z LED Driver IC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MP4060GS-Z is an AC DC offline switcher LED driver IC manufactured by Monolithic Power Systems Inc., designed for lighting applications with Triac dimming capability. This single-output power management IC operates across a 200VAC to 265VAC supply range and is packaged in an 8-SOIC surface mount configuration. The part maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and is currently in stock with 2870 units available.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent functional performance can be achieved within the allowed electrical and mechanical parameters for offline LED driver applications, particularly where supply voltage ranges, dimming methods, package compatibility, and thermal operating ranges align with system requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution logic for the MP4060GS-Z is based on the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Single-output AC DC offline switcher topology
• Surface mount 8-SOIC package configuration (0.154", 3.90mm width)
• Triac dimming capability for phase-cut dimmer compatibility
• Operating temperature range of -40°C minimum
• ROHS3 compliance and active product status
• Applications in lighting systems

The three identified substitute parts (TPS92210DR, NCL30186DDR2G, MXHV9910BE) share the core functional classification as LED driver ICs with offline switcher topology and surface mount packaging. However, each substitute exhibits specific parameter variations in supply voltage ranges, dimming methods, and thermal specifications that define their substitution scope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TPS92210DR (Texas Instruments)

The TPS92210DR is the closest functional equivalent to the MP4060GS-Z. Both devices share Triac dimming capability, 8-SOIC package configuration, and -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range. The TPS92210DR operates with a 9V to 20V supply range and employs Flyback topology. This substitute is suitable for applications where the input voltage can be regulated to the 9V–20V range through external conditioning. The TPS92210DR maintains ROHS3 compliance and active product status with 32,900 units in stock.

NCL30186DDR2G (onsemi)

The NCL30186DDR2G offers broader topology flexibility with Flyback, SEPIC, Buck, and Boost configurations. It supports both Analog and PWM dimming methods, providing design flexibility beyond Triac-only dimming. The package is 10-SOIC rather than 8-SOIC, requiring PCB layout modification. Supply voltage range is 8.8V to 25.5V. Operating temperature extends to -40°C to 125°C (TJ). This substitute is applicable where dimming method flexibility and topology options are advantageous and PCB space permits the larger package. Inventory availability is 7,162 units.

MXHV9910BE (IXYS Integrated Circuits Division)

The MXHV9910BE provides the widest supply voltage range (8V to 450V) with Buck topology and PWM dimming. The 8-SOIC package includes an exposed pad for enhanced thermal management. However, the maximum operating temperature is limited to 85°C (TA), which is 40°C lower than the MP4060GS-Z. This substitute is suitable for high-voltage input applications where PWM dimming is acceptable and thermal management is not constrained by the lower temperature rating. Inventory is 1,285 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TPS92210DR directly replace MP4060GS-Z in a 200VAC–265VAC application?

A: Direct replacement is not possible. The TPS92210DR requires a 9V–20V supply input, whereas the MP4060GS-Z operates directly from 200VAC–265VAC. External AC-to-DC conversion or voltage regulation circuitry would be required to condition the input voltage for the TPS92210DR.

Q: What is the primary difference between Triac and PWM dimming in these substitutes?

A: Triac dimming (MP4060GS-Z, TPS92210DR) is compatible with phase-cut dimmer switches commonly used in AC lighting systems. PWM dimming (MXHV9910BE, NCL30186DDR2G) uses pulse-width modulation and requires PWM control signals. The dimming method must match the system's dimmer interface.

Q: Is the NCL30186DDR2G package change from 8-SOIC to 10-SOIC a concern?

A: Yes. The 10-SOIC package has different pin spacing and footprint than the 8-SOIC. PCB redesign is required, including new footprint layout and trace routing. This is not a pin-compatible substitute without board modification.

Q: Why does MXHV9910BE have a lower maximum operating temperature (85°C vs. 125°C)?

A: The MXHV9910BE specifies 85°C as the ambient temperature (TA) maximum, whereas MP4060GS-Z specifies 125°C as the junction temperature (TJ) maximum. These are different measurement points. The MXHV9910BE's lower rating may limit applications in high-ambient-temperature environments or high-power dissipation scenarios.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts (TPS92210DR, NCL30186DDR2G, MXHV9910BE) maintain ROHS3 compliance and active product status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Which substitute has the best inventory availability?

A: TPS92210DR has the highest inventory with 32,900 units in stock, followed by NCL30186DDR2G with 7,162 units, and MXHV9910BE with 1,285 units.
