MP5016GQH-L-P

Overview

The MP5016GQH-L-P is a high-side current limit switch manufactured by Monolithic Power Systems. It operates within an input voltage range of 2.7V to 15V and supports output currents from 0.7A to 5A. The device integrates an over-voltage clamp and reverse blocking capability to protect downstream circuits. It is housed in a compact 10-QFN (1.5x2mm) package, designed for efficient power distribution and protection in space-constrained applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates over-voltage clamp functionality to protect against transient voltage spikes
• Provides reverse blocking capability to prevent backflow current
• Features programmable current limiting with adjustable slew rate control

Applications

• Power distribution units requiring over-current protection
• Portable electronic devices with limited board space
• Industrial equipment input stage protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L-P' against official MPS documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure the component matches the required RoHS compliance standards for your target market. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm the accuracy of electrical parameters before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide input voltage range up to 15V is required alongside robust over-voltage protection. The integrated reverse blocking feature simplifies design compared to discrete solutions. Consider the 10-QFN package dimensions if board real estate is a critical constraint for the application layout.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MP5016 series of current limit switches from Monolithic Power Systems. The series is characterized by its ability to handle high currents while providing comprehensive protection features. It serves as a specialized solution for power management tasks where reliability and compactness are prioritized over simple switching functions.

Replacement Considerations

MP5016GQH is a verified substitute offering identical core electrical characteristics. Verify that the pinout and thermal performance remain compatible with the existing PCB footprint before implementing any substitution.
