MP8760GLE-Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MP8760GLE-Z is a buck switching regulator IC from Monolithic Power Systems Inc., classified as a Power Management (PMIC) component. It functions as a step-down converter with positive adjustable output, delivering up to 6A output current across an input voltage range of 4.5V to 18V. The device is surface-mounted in a 16-PowerVFQFN package and features synchronous rectification for improved efficiency.

This part carries a "Not For New Designs" product status, making identification of equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing production support and design continuity. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across critical electrical parameters including input voltage range, output voltage adjustability, switching frequency, and thermal operating range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MP8760GLE-Z is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Input voltage range: 4.5V to 18V minimum
• Output voltage adjustability: 0.611V to 13V minimum
• Switching frequency: 200kHz to 1MHz range
• Synchronous rectification capability
• Package compatibility: 16-PowerVFQFN form factor
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C
• Surface mount configuration

The MP8761GLE-P qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical parameters. The primary distinction is increased output current capability (8A versus 6A), which represents an enhancement rather than a limitation. Both devices share identical input voltage specifications, output voltage adjustability range, switching frequency capability, synchronous rectification, thermal operating range, and package form factor.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MP8760GLE-Z and MP8761GLE-P carry "Not For New Designs" product status, indicating obsolescence or end-of-life classification from the manufacturer. Selection between these parts should prioritize design continuity and supply chain availability.

The MP8761GLE-P provides enhanced output current capability (8A) while maintaining full compatibility across all other electrical and mechanical parameters. This higher current rating does not introduce incompatibility; it expands the operational envelope for applications requiring increased power delivery within the same voltage and thermal specifications.

Both devices maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical moisture sensitivity levels, ensuring regulatory and environmental consistency. The 16-PowerVFQFN package form factor is identical, permitting direct PCB layout compatibility without redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MP8761GLE-P directly replace MP8760GLE-Z on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. The MP8761GLE-P is pin-compatible and functionally compatible with the MP8760GLE-Z. Both devices use the 16-PowerVFQFN (3x4) package with identical pinout. No PCB modifications are required.

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

A: The MP8761GLE-P provides 8A maximum output current compared to the MP8760GLE-Z at 6A. All other electrical parameters—input voltage range, output voltage adjustability, switching frequency, and thermal operating range—are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Regulatory and environmental classifications are equivalent.

Q: Why is the MP8760GLE-Z marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part is obsolete or approaching end-of-life from the manufacturer. The MP8761GLE-P serves as the recommended alternative for ongoing production and new applications.

Q: Can the higher current rating of MP8761GLE-P cause issues in applications designed for 6A?

A: No. The higher current rating represents increased capability, not a requirement. Applications designed for 6A operation will function identically with the MP8761GLE-P, which will simply operate below its maximum current specification.

Q: Are packaging and moisture sensitivity identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use 16-PowerVFQFN packaging in 3x4mm form factor with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.
