Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MP8760GLE-P is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Topology & Function: Buck (step-down) switching regulator with positive adjustable output
• Output Voltage Range: 0.611V to 13V adjustable
• Input Voltage Range: 4.5V to 18V
• Output Current Capability: Minimum 6A required
• Package: 16-PowerVFQFN (3x4) surface mount
• Synchronous Rectification: Required
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C (TJ)
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected

The MP8761GLE-P qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, with the exception of increased output current capability (8A versus 6A), which represents an upward-compatible enhancement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MP8761GLE-P serves as a direct functional equivalent to the MP8760GLE-P. Both devices maintain identical electrical specifications across input voltage range, output voltage adjustability, switching frequency, and thermal operating limits. The MP8761GLE-P provides increased output current capability (8A versus 6A), making it suitable for applications requiring equal or greater current delivery within the same voltage and thermal envelope.

Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory qualification. The primary distinction is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel) and the higher current rating of the substitute, which does not compromise compatibility in applications designed for the original 6A specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MP8761GLE-P replace MP8760GLE-P in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MP8761GLE-P is electrically and mechanically compatible. It maintains identical input/output voltage ranges, switching frequency, and thermal specifications. The increased current rating (8A) does not affect operation in circuits designed for 6A output.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when substituting?

A: The MP8760GLE-P is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while the MP8761GLE-P is available in Cut Tape format. Both use the same 16-PowerVFQFN (3x4) package footprint, requiring no PCB layout modifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the MP8760GLE-P and MP8761GLE-P are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and REACH unaffected status, ensuring equivalent regulatory qualification.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The MP8761GLE-P delivers 8A maximum output current compared to the MP8760GLE-P's 6A rating. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Is the higher current rating of MP8761GLE-P a concern for 6A applications?

A: No. Higher current capability does not negatively impact lower-current applications. The device will operate within its specified parameters at any current level up to its maximum rating.
