Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EL7252CS-T13 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Driven Configuration: Low-Side operation only
• Number of Drivers: Exactly 2 independent channels
• Gate Type: N-Channel and P-Channel MOSFET support
• Voltage - Supply: 4.5V ~ 16V range
• Logic Voltage Thresholds: VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.4V
• Current - Peak Output: 2A source and 2A sink capability
• Input Type: Inverting logic
• Rise / Fall Time: 10ns typical for both edges
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 125°C (TJ)
• Package / Case: 8-SOIC form factor with 0.154" (3.90mm) width
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

The EL7252CSZ-T13 meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EL7252CSZ-T13 is the direct functional equivalent of the EL7252CS-T13 and is recommended for all new designs and ongoing production support. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance:

The EL7252CS-T13 is obsolete and carries RoHS non-compliant status. The EL7252CSZ-T13 is active in production and meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, making it the appropriate choice for systems subject to environmental and regulatory standards. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, gate driver architecture, and thermal operating range.

The packaging difference (tube versus Tape & Reel) reflects standard distribution formats and does not affect functional compatibility. The MSL rating difference (1 versus 3) indicates different moisture sensitivity classifications; the EL7252CSZ-T13 requires controlled storage conditions of 168 hours maximum at specified humidity levels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EL7252CSZ-T13 be used as a direct replacement for the EL7252CS-T13?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation and share identical electrical specifications, including supply voltage range (4.5V ~ 16V), output current capability (2A source/sink), logic thresholds, rise/fall times, and operating temperature range. The 8-SOIC package dimensions are identical, enabling direct PCB substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the EL7252CS-T13 and EL7252CSZ-T13?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certifications. The EL7252CS-T13 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The EL7252CSZ-T13 is active in production and ROHS3 compliant. Packaging format differs (tube versus Tape & Reel), and moisture sensitivity levels differ (MSL 1 versus MSL 3). All functional and electrical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any thermal or performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C junction temperature) and deliver identical peak output currents, rise/fall times, and logic voltage thresholds.

Q: What does the MSL rating difference mean for handling and storage?

A: The EL7252CS-T13 carries MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), while the EL7252CSZ-T13 carries MSL 3 (168 hours maximum exposure at specified humidity). The EL7252CSZ-T13 requires controlled storage conditions and has a defined shelf life under moisture exposure. Standard component handling practices for MSL 3 devices apply.

Q: Is the 8-SOIC package identical for both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 8-SOIC package with 0.154" (3.90mm) width. PCB footprints, lead spacing, and mounting requirements are identical, enabling direct component substitution without layout modifications.
