Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EL7252CS-T7 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Driven Configuration: Low-Side operation only
• Number of Drivers: Exactly 2 independent drivers
• Gate Type: N-Channel and P-Channel MOSFET support
• Supply Voltage Range: 4.5V ~ 16V
• Peak Output Current: 2A source and sink capability
• Input Type: Inverting logic
• Package: 8-SOIC form factor with identical pin configuration
• Rise / Fall Time: 10ns typical switching speed

The EL7252CSZ-T7 meets all these criteria and is identified as a direct substitute. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is packaging format and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EL7252CSZ-T7 is the direct substitute for the obsolete EL7252CS-T7. Both parts are manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all functional parameters.

Selection between these parts is determined by application requirements and supply chain considerations:

• EL7252CSZ-T7 is the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing production. This part carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and support. It is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. The Tape & Reel packaging format is standard for automated assembly processes.

• EL7252CS-T7 is obsolete and should be replaced in active designs. Remaining inventory may be available for legacy system maintenance only.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the specified operating parameters. No circuit modifications are required when transitioning from EL7252CS-T7 to EL7252CSZ-T7.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EL7252CSZ-T7 be used as a direct replacement for EL7252CS-T7?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. All functional parameters, including supply voltage, output current, switching speed, and package dimensions, are equivalent. No circuit redesign is necessary.

Q: What is the difference between EL7252CS-T7 and EL7252CSZ-T7?

A: The primary differences are product status, packaging format, and compliance certifications. EL7252CS-T7 is obsolete and supplied in tube packaging. EL7252CSZ-T7 is active, supplied in Tape & Reel format, and is ROHS3 compliant. Electrical performance is identical.

Q: Why is EL7252CS-T7 marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The EL7252CSZ-T7 is the active replacement part and should be used for all new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting EL7252CSZ-T7 for EL7252CS-T7?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both parts operate within identical electrical specifications and use the same 8-SOIC package. PCB layout and circuit design remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) difference?

A: EL7252CS-T7 has MSL 1 (unlimited moisture exposure tolerance), while EL7252CSZ-T7 has MSL 3 (168-hour exposure limit). For storage and handling, EL7252CSZ-T7 requires standard moisture control procedures typical for surface-mount components. This does not affect electrical performance or field reliability.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a factor in selecting between these parts?

A: RoHS compliance may be required depending on application and regional regulations. EL7252CSZ-T7 is ROHS3 compliant, while EL7252CS-T7 is non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, EL7252CSZ-T7 is the mandatory choice.
