MPS2329C and MPS2329 voltage regulators -are these compatible?

[dicky96]

Hi guys
I need to replace a faulty MPS 2329C but I have some MPS2329 regulators

These look like they could be compatible - the difference is that the MPS2329C says 'Synchronous Buck Converter with Forced Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM)' and the MPS2329 says 'Synchronous Buck Converter'

The pinouts are the same, and the product descriptions are the same. So what is this Forced Continuous Conduction Mode, is it just something to improve efficiency? So does it matter in my case (mine is used to generate 1.8V from 3.3V standby on a desktop motherboard)

Can I replace this

Yes it should be ok. "Forced Continuous Conduction Mode, is it just something to improve efficiency?" yes .

Thanks for sharing this information
Have you used this type

Synchronous Buck Converter with Forced Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM)' and the MPS2329 says 'Synchronous Buck Converter'

Not this exact part but something similar
