ICS513MLF Clock Generator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ICS513MLF is a Clock Generator and Fanout Distribution IC manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, designed for 140MHz maximum frequency operation in 8-SOIC surface mount packaging. This device features integrated PLL with bypass capability, supporting both clock and crystal inputs with CMOS output configuration.

The ICS513MLF is classified as obsolete product status. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary for new designs, production continuity, and long-term component availability assurance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ICS513MLF are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Package / Case: 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) — identical physical footprint required
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount — same assembly process compatibility
• Voltage - Supply: 3V ~ 5.5V — overlapping or equivalent supply range
• PLL: Yes with Bypass — functional feature parity
• Input Type: Clock, Crystal — input signal compatibility
• Number of Circuits: 1 — single circuit configuration
• Ratio - Input:Output: 1:2 — clock multiplication factor

Performance Considerations:

• Frequency - Max: Substitute must meet or exceed 140MHz requirement
• Operating Temperature: Substitute operating range must encompass or extend the 0°C ~ 70°C specification

The substitute parts NB3N502DG and NB3N502DR2G (both onsemi PLL Clock Multiplier ICs) satisfy all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both devices are available in active product status with enhanced operating temperature ranges and higher maximum frequency ratings.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

NB3N502DG (Tube Packaging): This substitute is suitable for applications requiring standard tube packaging format. The device maintains identical electrical specifications and package footprint as the ICS513MLF while offering active product status, extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), and higher maximum frequency capability (190MHz). ROHS3 compliance provides environmental regulatory alignment for new designs.

NB3N502DR2G (Tape & Reel Packaging): This substitute is optimized for high-volume production environments utilizing automated assembly processes. Tape & Reel packaging format supports continuous pick-and-place operations. Electrical and thermal specifications are identical to the NB3N502DG variant. Active product status and ROHS3 compliance ensure long-term supply chain stability and regulatory compliance.

Both substitute parts exceed the original ICS513MLF performance envelope while maintaining backward compatibility at the functional and mechanical interface level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can NB3N502DG or NB3N502DR2G be used as direct replacements for ICS513MLF?

A: Yes. Both devices share identical package footprint (8-SOIC), supply voltage range (3V ~ 5.5V), input/output configuration (Clock/Crystal input, CMOS output), and 1:2 multiplication ratio. The substitute parts exceed the original 140MHz frequency specification at 190MHz and provide extended operating temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between NB3N502DG and NB3N502DR2G?

A: Both parts are electrically and functionally identical. The primary difference is packaging format: NB3N502DG is supplied in Tube packaging for lower-volume applications, while NB3N502DR2G is supplied in Tape & Reel format optimized for automated assembly and high-volume production.

Q: Are there any output compatibility differences?

A: The ICS513MLF provides CMOS output only. The substitute parts (NB3N502DG and NB3N502DR2G) provide both CMOS and TTL output options, offering enhanced flexibility for different logic level requirements while maintaining full backward compatibility.

Q: Do the substitute parts support the same input types?

A: Yes. Both NB3N502DG and NB3N502DR2G accept Clock and Crystal inputs, matching the ICS513MLF input configuration.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute parts?

A: Both NB3N502DG and NB3N502DR2G are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both devices carry MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), matching the original part's moisture sensitivity specification.
