Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitute parts for the ISL3173EIBZ are qualified based on the following critical parameters:
Functional Equivalence: All substitute parts must implement 1/1 full-duplex RS422/RS485 transceiver functionality with surface mount 14-SOIC packaging.
Electrical Compatibility: Supply voltage range (3V ~ 3.6V) and protocol support (RS422/RS485) are mandatory matching criteria. Data rate, receiver hysteresis, and operating temperature ranges may vary within acceptable industrial application tolerances.
Mechanical Compatibility: All qualified substitutes use the 14-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) package format, ensuring direct PCB footprint compatibility.
Compliance & Status: All substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, supporting regulatory and supply chain requirements.
The following substitute parts meet these criteria and are grouped by manufacturer and thermal rating:
- Analog Devices LTC2852 Series: LTC2852CS#PBF, LTC2852IS#PBF, LTC2852HS#PBF
- Analog Devices/Maxim MAX3079 Series: MAX3079EASD+, MAX3079EESD+T
