| FFF Compatibility | The physical pinout and footprint matches the original part exactly.Both parts are housed in a standard 20-SOIC (0.295 inch width) package.All electrical parameters, including the 500mA output current capability and integrated protection schemes, are identical. | The through-hole DIP-20 footprint cannot mount onto the surface-mount SOIC-20 land pattern.Uses a through-hole 20-DIP package instead of a surface-mount 20-SOIC package.Electrical ratings and features, including output current, load voltage, and the logic interface, are identical. | ||
MIC59P60BWM by Microchip Technology: Power Switch/Driver 1:8 Bipolar 500mA 20-SOIC. | This is the official manufacturer-designated direct replacement for the obsolete leaded part number. It is active, lead-free, and offers identical electrical and physical characteristics.
| This is a sibling component from the same series using a through-hole DIP package instead of surface-mount. It is highly useful if retrofitting onto legacy boards with socket access or for redesigned through-hole assemblies.

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.
All your BOM, at once
Parter maps every line to live stock, lead time, lifecycle and compliance data across the entire market — not part by part.
Hear about problems before they hit production
Allocation, EOL and last-time-buy notices surface the moment they appear, not when your buyer's PO bounces.
Qualified replacements in minutes, not days
Every at-risk line gets form-fit-function matches like the ones above — deltas flagged, evidence attached. Review, push to your BOM, and Parter starts watching the new part too.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The Microchip Technology MIC59P60BWM is marked obsolete, so the manufacturer has discontinued it and any remaining supply is limited to distributor stock. The qualified second sources on this page are active parts you can design in today.
The closest qualified second sources for the Microchip Technology MIC59P60BWM are the MIC59P60YWM (Microchip Technology) and the MIC59P60YN (Microchip Technology), out of 4 matched alternatives in total. Each is compared against the original on fit, form and function in the table above.
Not always. The alternatives to the MIC59P60BWM are matched on function but can differ in package, pinout or a key parameter, so review the fit/form/function notes in the table and the datasheet before designing one in.
The MIC59P60BWM (Microchip Technology) is a part in the Power Management (PMIC) category. This page lists qualified, cross-referenced replacements for it with a side-by-side comparison.
