Component Type Mapping
The MPSHandler supports these ComponentTypes:
| MPN Pattern | ComponentType | Description |
|-------------|---------------|-------------|
| MP1xxx, MP2xxx, MP4xxx, MP5xxx, MP7xxx, MP8xxx, MP9xxx | VOLTAGE_REGULATOR | DC-DC converters and regulators |
| MPQxxxx (except 3xxx/6xxx) | VOLTAGE_REGULATOR | Automotive DC-DC converters |
| MPMxxxx | VOLTAGE_REGULATOR | Power modules |
| MP3xxx | LED_DRIVER | LED driver ICs |
| MPQ3xxx | LED_DRIVER | Automotive LED drivers |
| MP6xxx | MOTOR_DRIVER | Motor controller ICs |
| MPQ6xxx | MOTOR_DRIVER | Automotive motor drivers |
| All MPS parts | IC | Base IC type for all parts |
Series Extraction Rules
The handler extracts series as follows:
// MPM series: returns "MPM"
"MPM3610GQV-Z" -> "MPM"
// MPQ series: returns "MPQ"
"MPQ4560GQ-AEC1-LF-Z" -> "MPQ"
// Standard MP[1-9]xxx: returns first 3 characters
"MP1584EN-LF-Z" -> "MP1"
"MP2307DN-LF-Z" -> "MP2"
"MP6500HF" -> "MP6"
Series Descriptions
| Series | Category | |--------|----------| | MP1 | Step-Down Converters | | MP2 | Step-Down/LDO Converters | | MP3 | LED Drivers | | MP4 | High-Current Step-Down | | MP5 | Step-Up/SEPIC Converters | | MP6 | Motor Drivers | | MP7 | Power Switches | | MP8 | Multi-Channel PMIC | | MP9 | High-Voltage Converters | | MPQ | Automotive Grade | | MPM | Power Modules |
Package Code Extraction Rules
The handler extracts package codes with this logic:
- Remove common suffixes:
-LF-Z,-Z,-LF,-AEC1, etc. - Match pattern:
MP[A-Z]?[0-9]{3,4}([A-Z]{2}).* - Look up the 2-letter code in the PACKAGE_CODES map
- Return the mapped package name or the raw code
// Example extraction:
"MP1584EN-LF-Z"
-> Remove suffix: "MP1584EN"
-> Match: group(1) = "EN"
-> Lookup: PACKAGE_CODES.get("EN") = "SOIC-8E"
"MPQ4560GQ-AEC1-LF-Z"
-> Remove suffix: "MPQ4560GQ"
-> Match: group(1) = "GQ"
-> Lookup: PACKAGE_CODES.get("GQ") = "QFN"
Official Replacement Logic
The handler identifies official replacements in two scenarios:
Same Base Part, Different Package
MP1584EN <-> MP1584DN // Same part, different package (SOIC-8E vs SO-8)
Automotive Equivalents (MPQ vs MP)
MP4560GQ <-> MPQ4560GQ // Consumer vs automotive grade
The isOfficialReplacement() method checks:
- Automotive equivalents (MPQ ↔ MP with same 4-digit number)
- Same series and same base part number
Automotive Detection
MPS uses two indicators for automotive-grade parts:
// Method: isAutomotiveGrade(String mpn)
// 1. MPQ prefix indicates automotive
"MPQ4560GQ-LF-Z" -> true
// 2. -AEC suffix indicates automotive qualification
"MP4560GQ-AEC1-LF-Z" -> true
// Standard consumer parts
"MP4560GQ-LF-Z" -> false

Handler Implementation Notes
Supported Types Declaration
The handler uses Set.of() for immutable type set:
public Set<ComponentType> getSupportedTypes() {
return Set.of(
ComponentType.IC,
ComponentType.VOLTAGE_REGULATOR,
ComponentType.LED_DRIVER,
ComponentType.MOTOR_DRIVER
);
}
Pattern Registration
Patterns are registered for both specific and base types:
// MP3xxx registered for both LED_DRIVER and IC
registry.addPattern(ComponentType.LED_DRIVER, "^MP3[0-9]{3}[A-Z0-9-]*$");
registry.addPattern(ComponentType.IC, "^MP3[0-9]{3}[A-Z0-9-]*$");
matches() Implementation
The handler overrides matches() for efficient direct pattern checking:
// Direct pattern checks by type for performance
switch (type) {
case VOLTAGE_REGULATOR:
return isVoltageRegulator(upperMpn);
case LED_DRIVER:
return isLEDDriver(upperMpn);
case MOTOR_DRIVER:
return isMotorDriver(upperMpn);
case IC:
return isMPSPart(upperMpn);
}

Learnings & Edge Cases
- MPQ vs MP: The automotive variant MPQ has a 4-digit part number (MPQ4560) while standard MP uses 4 digits after the prefix character (MP4560). This is a 1-character offset when extracting the numeric part.
- AEC suffix: Parts can be automotive without MPQ prefix if they have
-AEC1suffix. Always check both. - Package code position: Package codes come immediately after the part number digits, before any hyphens. The handler strips
-LF-Zand similar suffixes before extraction. - Module prefix MPM: Power modules have their own prefix and are different from standard MP parts - they include an integrated inductor.
- Series overlap: MP6xxx (motor drivers) and MPQ6xxx are the same - both are motor drivers. Same for MP3xxx/MPQ3xxx (LED drivers). The MPQ prefix only adds automotive qualification.
- getSupportedTypes() uses Set.of(): The handler correctly uses immutable Set.of() instead of HashSet.
- No manufacturer-specific types: Unlike some handlers, MPS doesn't define manufacturer-specific ComponentTypes like
VOLTAGE_REGULATOR_MPS. It uses the base types directly.
