Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The AP2511M8-13 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on the following critical substitution criteria:

• Switch Type & Output Configuration: Both parts are USB Switches with P-Channel high-side output and 1:1 input-to-output ratio
• Electrical Performance: Identical maximum output current (2.5A), load voltage range (2.7V ~ 5.5V), and on-resistance (70mOhm typical)
• Package Compatibility: Both use 8-MSOP packaging with identical physical dimensions (0.118", 3.00mm Width)
• Fault Protection: Identical protection features including current limiting, over-temperature, reverse current, and UVLO
• Interface & Features: Matching on/off interface, load discharge, and status flag functionality
• Operating Temperature Range: Identical -40°C ~ 85°C specification
• Compliance: Both parts meet ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications

The primary distinction is product status: AP2501M8-13 is Obsolete while AP2511M8-13 is Active, with AP2511M8-13 available in higher inventory quantities.

Parameter Comparison
