Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BD6517F-E2 are classified into two categories based on parametric alignment:

Parametric Equivalents maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 1:2 input-output ratio, N-Channel high-side output configuration, 500mA maximum output current, 3V to 5.5V load voltage range, On/Off interface, non-inverting input logic, status flag feature, and identical fault protection mechanisms (current limiting, over-temperature, reverse current, UVLO). These parts are direct functional replacements with no design modifications required.

Similar Parts share the core 1:2 N-Channel high-side switch architecture and identical package footprint but differ in one or more electrical parameters: output current capability (600mA to 1.25A), load voltage range (2.7V to 5.5V), Rds On specification, input logic (inverting vs. non-inverting), or operating temperature range. These parts require design verification to confirm compatibility with the application's specific current and voltage requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Parametric Equivalents (Direct Replacements):

BD6512F-E2 and BD6516F-E2 are parametric equivalents of BD6517F-E2, maintaining identical electrical specifications and package dimensions. BD6516F-E2 is the preferred choice as it carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support. BD6512F-E2 is Obsolete but remains functionally equivalent. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for direct substitution without circuit modification.

Similar Parts with Higher Current Capability:

MIC2026A-1YM-TR, MIC2026A-2YM-TR, MIC2076A-1YM-TR, and MIC2076A-2YM-TR are manufactured by Microchip Technology with 1.25A output current capability, exceeding the BD6517F-E2 specification of 500mA. These parts support extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and include slew rate control features. MIC2026A-2YM-TR and MIC2076A-2YM-TR feature inverting input logic, requiring circuit design changes. All Microchip parts are ROHS3 compliant and Active status.

Similar Parts with Moderate Current Increase:

SP2526A-1EN-L/TR and SP2526A-2EN-L/TR are manufactured by MaxLinear, Inc., with 600mA output current capability. These USB Switch variants maintain 3V to 5.5V load voltage compatibility and non-inverting input logic. Both parts are Active status and RoHS compliant. SP2526A-1EN-L/TR carries MSL 3 (168 Hours) moisture sensitivity; SP2526A-2EN-L/TR moisture sensitivity is not specified in provided data.

Package Consideration:

Microchip and MaxLinear parts use 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) packaging, which differs from Rohm's 8-SOIC (0.173", 4.40mm Width). PCB layout verification is required to confirm footprint compatibility, as pin spacing differs between these package variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BD6516F-E2 directly replace BD6517F-E2 without design changes?

A: Yes. BD6516F-E2 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, load voltage range (3V to 5.5V), output current (500mA), Rds On (110mOhm), input logic (non-inverting), and fault protection features. Both use the same 8-SOIC (0.173", 4.40mm Width) package. BD6516F-E2 is Active status, making it the recommended long-term replacement for the Obsolete BD6517F-E2.

Q: What is the difference between BD6512F-E2 and BD6516F-E2?

A: Both are parametric equivalents of BD6517F-E2 with identical electrical specifications. The primary difference is Rds On: BD6512F-E2 specifies 100mOhm (typical) versus 110mOhm for BD6516F-E2. BD6516F-E2 carries Active product status, while BD6512F-E2 is Obsolete. For new designs, BD6516F-E2 is preferred.

Q: Can Microchip MIC2026A or MIC2076A parts replace BD6517F-E2?

A: These parts share the 1:2 N-Channel high-side switch architecture but differ in output current (1.25A vs. 500mA), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C vs. -25°C to 85°C), and package dimensions (8-SOIC 0.154" vs. 0.173" width). MIC2026A-1YM-TR and MIC2076A-1YM-TR maintain non-inverting input logic; MIC2026A-2YM-TR and MIC2076A-2YM-TR use inverting logic. PCB layout verification is required due to package differences. These parts are suitable only if the application requires higher current capability and can accommodate the different package footprint.

Q: What is the difference between non-inverting and inverting input logic?

A: Non-inverting input logic (BD6517F-E2, MIC2026A-1YM-TR, MIC2076A-1YM-TR, SP2526A-1EN-L/TR, SP2526A-2EN-L/TR) activates the output switch when the input signal is high. Inverting input logic (MIC2026A-2YM-TR, MIC2076A-2YM-TR) activates the output when the input signal is low. Substituting between these types requires circuit redesign to invert the control signal or modify firmware logic.

Q: Are MaxLinear SP2526A parts compatible with BD6517F-E2?

A: SP2526A-1EN-L/TR and SP2526A-2EN-L/TR share the 1:2 N-Channel high-side switch configuration, 3V to 5.5V load voltage range, and non-inverting input logic. Output current is 600mA (vs. 500mA), and Rds On is 110mOhm (identical). Both use 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) packaging, requiring PCB layout verification. Operating temperature extends to -40°C. These parts are suitable substitutes if the application can accommodate the different package footprint and higher current capability.

Q: What does ROHS3 compliance mean?

A: ROHS3 (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 3) compliance indicates the component meets European Union environmental standards, restricting the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers. All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 or RoHS compliance certification.

Q: Why is product status important when selecting a substitute?

A: Product status indicates manufacturing support and availability. Active status parts (BD6516F-E2, MIC2026A series, MIC2076A series, SP2526A series) have ongoing production and long-term availability. Obsolete parts (BD6517F-E2, BD6512F-E2) have limited stock and no new production. Not For New Designs status (BD6513F-E2) indicates the manufacturer discourages new applications. For production continuity, Active status parts are preferred.
