MP5017AGD-Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MP5017AGD-Z is an active power management integrated circuit manufactured by Monolithic Power Systems Inc., classified as a Power Switch/Driver within the Power Management (PMIC) category. This component functions as a USB Switch with 1:1 input-to-output ratio, delivering up to 5A output current across a 3V to 5.5V load voltage range. The device is currently in active production status with 20,200 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are maintained across all critical parameters. The MP5017AGD-Z is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging; alternative packaging formats of the same base product may be required for different procurement or assembly workflows.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MP5017AGD-Z are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Base Product Number: MP5017 (identical silicon die and electrical performance)
• Switch Type: USB Switch (functional classification)
• Output Type: N-Channel (topology)
• Number of Outputs: 1 (configuration)
• Voltage - Load: 3V ~ 5.5V (operating range)
• Current - Output (Max): 5A (current capability)
• Rds On (Typ): 45 mOhm (on-resistance specification)
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 125°C (thermal range)
• Supplier Device Package: 12-QFN (2x3) (physical footprint)
• Package / Case: 12-VFQFN Exposed Pad (mechanical compatibility)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (assembly method)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (environmental compliance)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited) (handling requirements)

Substitution is permitted only when all parameters listed above are identical. Packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel) represents a supply chain variation and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MP5017AGD-Z and MP5017AGD-P are manufactured by Monolithic Power Systems Inc. and maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and procurement requirements:

MP5017AGD-Z is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format, suitable for applications requiring smaller order quantities or manual component handling.

MP5017AGD-P is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, optimized for high-volume automated assembly operations.

Both parts carry Active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability. Both are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates no special storage or handling constraints for either part.

Selection should be based on assembly process requirements and supply chain logistics rather than electrical performance, as all critical parameters are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MP5017AGD-P be used as a direct replacement for MP5017AGD-Z in production?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel). Direct substitution is valid provided the assembly process can accommodate the Tape & Reel format.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging suffix (-Z vs. -P)?

A: The suffix indicates packaging format only. -Z denotes Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® supply, while -P denotes Tape & Reel supply. The silicon die, electrical performance, and physical footprint are identical.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C), deliver the same maximum output current (5A), and exhibit the same on-resistance (45 mOhm typical).

Q: Do both parts fit the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both use the 12-QFN (2x3) package with 12-VFQFN Exposed Pad configuration. PCB layout and assembly tooling are interchangeable.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Moisture Sensitivity Level is 1 (Unlimited) for both, indicating no special storage requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume manufacturing?

A: MP5017AGD-P (Tape & Reel format) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume production environments.

Q: Which part should be selected for low-volume or prototype applications?

A: MP5017AGD-Z (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format) is suitable for smaller quantities and manual component handling in prototype or low-volume applications.
