Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MPQ8632GV-15-P is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Topology and Function: Buck switching regulator with step-down capability
• Output Configuration: Positive adjustable output
• Output Voltage Range: 0.611V to 13V adjustable
• Output Current: 15A
• Package: 29-VFQFN Exposed Pad (29-QFN 5x4)
• Synchronous Rectifier: Present
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C

The MPQ8632GVE-15-P qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is the minimum input voltage specification (4.5V vs. 2.5V), which represents a narrower input range but maintains compatibility for applications within the 4.5V to 18V input window.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPQ8632GVE-15-P is the designated substitute for the MPQ8632GV-15-P. The MPQ8632GVE-15-P carries Active product status, whereas the original part is classified as Not For New Designs. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance for output current, voltage ranges, switching frequency, and thermal specifications within their respective input voltage windows. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance. The MPQ8632GVE-15-P is suitable for applications where the minimum input voltage requirement of 4.5V is acceptable. For applications requiring operation below 4.5V input, the original MPQ8632GV-15-P specification must be retained.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPQ8632GVE-15-P replace the MPQ8632GV-15-P in all applications?

A: The MPQ8632GVE-15-P is a direct substitute for applications where the input voltage remains at or above 4.5V. The original part supports input voltages as low as 2.5V. If your application requires operation below 4.5V input, the MPQ8632GV-15-P must be used.

Q: Are the packages identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 29-VFQFN Exposed Pad package (29-QFN 5x4). PCB layout and thermal management designs are directly compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The MPQ8632GV-15-P is marked "Not For New Designs," indicating Monolithic Power Systems recommends against using this part in new product development. The MPQ8632GVE-15-P carries Active status and is the recommended choice for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Are the output voltage and current specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts deliver 15A output current with an adjustable output voltage range from 0.611V to 13V. Switching frequency, synchronous rectifier operation, and thermal specifications are identical.

Q: Do both parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance for manufacturing and storage.
