Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the AL5890-40Y-13 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Topology: Linear LED driver architecture
• Number of Outputs: Single output configuration
• Output Current Range: 40mA nominal requirement
• Supply Voltage Compatibility: Minimum 7V operation capability
• Dimming Capability: Original part has no dimming; substitutes may include PWM dimming as an enhancement
• Package Type: Surface mount packages (SOT-89-5, SC-74, TO-252, 6-TDFN, 8-SOIC)
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected
• Applications: Lighting and signage

The substitute parts listed below maintain functional equivalence as single-output linear LED drivers suitable for lighting applications. Output current ratings range from 60mA to 800mA, accommodating the 40mA requirement of the original part. Supply voltage ranges vary by substitute, with all candidates supporting minimum 3V to 8V operation, exceeding the original 7V minimum specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting the regulatory requirements of the obsolete AL5890-40Y-13.

BCR420UE6327HTSA1 (Infineon): Active automotive-grade part with AEC-Q101 qualification. Supports 200mA output current and PWM dimming. Supply voltage maximum of 40V is lower than the original 400V specification; suitable for applications within 40V supply range.

CL6K4-G (Microchip): Active part with 100mA output current and PWM dimming capability. Supply voltage range of 6.5V to 90V accommodates the original 7V minimum. Operating temperature extends to 119°C. MSL rating of 3 requires controlled storage conditions.

MAX16815ATT+T (Analog Devices/Maxim): Active part with 100mA output current, PWM dimming, and internal switch. Supply voltage range of 6.5V to 40V. Operating temperature extends to 125°C. MSL rating of 1 provides unlimited shelf life.

MIC4802YME-TR (Microchip): Active part with highest output current capacity at 800mA and PWM dimming. Supply voltage range of 3V to 5.5V is significantly lower than the original specification; suitable only for low-voltage applications. MSL rating of 2 requires controlled storage.

TLD1211SJFUMA1 (Infineon): Active automotive-grade part with 85mA output current and PWM dimming. Supply voltage range of 8V to 28V. Operating temperature extends to 150°C. MSL rating of 2A requires controlled storage.

TLE4241GMXUMA1 (Infineon): Active part with 60mA output current and PWM dimming. Supply voltage range of 4V to 45V. Operating temperature extends to 150°C. MSL rating of 3 requires controlled storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace AL5890-40Y-13 with any of these substitute parts?

A: Direct replacement requires matching supply voltage range and output current capability. The AL5890-40Y-13 operates from 7V to 400V with 40mA output. Most substitutes operate at lower maximum voltages (28V to 90V), making them suitable only for applications within their specified voltage ranges. Output current ratings of 60mA to 200mA accommodate the 40mA requirement.

Q: What is the impact of PWM dimming in substitute parts?

A: The original AL5890-40Y-13 has no dimming capability. All substitute parts include PWM dimming functionality. This is an enhancement that does not prevent substitution; PWM dimming can be disabled or left unused in applications that do not require it.

Q: How do package differences affect substitution?

A: The AL5890-40Y-13 uses SOT-89-5 packaging. Substitute parts use SC-74, TO-252, 6-TDFN, and 8-SOIC packages. PCB layout and footprint modifications are required for any package change. Pin configuration and electrical function must be verified against application schematics.

Q: Which substitute is best for high-voltage applications?

A: CL6K4-G (Microchip) supports the highest supply voltage among substitutes at 90V maximum, though this remains below the original 400V specification. Applications requiring operation above 90V cannot use these substitutes.

Q: What are the storage and handling requirements for these parts?

A: AL5890-40Y-13, BCR420UE6327HTSA1, and MAX16815ATT+T have MSL rating of 1 (unlimited shelf life). CL6K4-G, MIC4802YME-TR, TLD1211SJFUMA1, and TLE4241GMXUMA1 have MSL ratings of 2 or 3, requiring controlled storage conditions (1 year to 4 weeks at specified humidity levels).

Q: Are automotive-grade substitutes available?

A: BCR420UE6327HTSA1 and TLD1211SJFUMA1 are automotive-grade parts with AEC-Q101 qualification, suitable for automotive lighting applications.
