• Identical package: 16-PowerVFQFN (3x4)
• Identical input voltage range: 4.5V to 18V
• Identical output voltage range: 0.611V to 13V
• Identical output configuration: Positive adjustable
• Identical topology: Buck switching regulator
• Identical switching frequency range: 200kHz to 1MHz
• Identical synchronous rectifier: Yes
• Identical operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C (TJ)
• Identical mounting type: Surface mount
• Identical compliance: ROHS3, MSL 1

Differentiating Parameter:

• Output current: MPQ8632GLE-12-P provides 12A versus 10A on the MPQ8636AGLE-10-Z

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MPQ8636AGLE-10-Z and MPQ8632GLE-12-P are active production devices with identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The MPQ8632GLE-12-P provides a higher output current specification (12A versus 10A) while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection between these parts depends on application current requirements: the MPQ8636AGLE-10-Z is suitable for designs requiring up to 10A output current, while the MPQ8632GLE-12-P accommodates applications requiring up to 12A. Both parts share identical package geometry, input/output voltage ranges, switching frequency capability, and thermal operating specifications, enabling direct substitution at the PCB layout level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPQ8632GLE-12-P replace the MPQ8636AGLE-10-Z in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MPQ8632GLE-12-P is electrically and mechanically compatible with the MPQ8636AGLE-10-Z. Both devices share identical package dimensions (16-PowerVFQFN 3x4), pinout, input voltage range (4.5V to 18V), output voltage range (0.611V to 13V), switching frequency range (200kHz to 1MHz), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). No PCB layout modifications are required.

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

A: The MPQ8632GLE-12-P provides 12A maximum output current compared to 10A on the MPQ8636AGLE-10-Z. All other specifications remain identical.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same input voltage applications?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical input voltage range of 4.5V to 18V and support the same adjustable output voltage range of 0.611V to 13V.

Q: Do these parts have the same package footprint?

A: Yes. Both the MPQ8636AGLE-10-Z and MPQ8632GLE-12-P use the 16-PowerVFQFN package with 3x4mm dimensions, ensuring identical PCB footprints and assembly compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) rating.

Q: Which part should I select for a new design?

A: Selection depends on your application's output current requirement. If your design requires up to 10A, either part is suitable. If your design requires 10A to 12A, the MPQ8632GLE-12-P is the appropriate choice.
