MCP2561T-H/SN Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MCP2561T-H/SN is a half-duplex CAN bus transceiver manufactured by Microchip Technology, housed in an 8-SOIC surface mount package. This interface IC operates within the 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage range and maintains functionality across the -40°C to 150°C operating temperature spectrum. The device is classified as Active product status and carries ROHS3 compliance certification. Substitute parts are identified when parametric specifications align with the core electrical and mechanical requirements of the original component, enabling direct replacement in circuit applications where equivalent performance characteristics are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MCP2562T-H/SN qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the MCP2561T-H/SN based on alignment across the following critical substitution criteria:

• Protocol Compatibility: Both devices implement CANbus half-duplex transceiver functionality
• Electrical Configuration: Identical 1/1 driver/receiver architecture with 200 mV receiver hysteresis
• Supply Voltage Range: Both operate within 4.5V to 5.5V specification
• Operating Temperature Range: Both support -40°C to 150°C thermal envelope
• Package Specification: Both utilize 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) surface mount packaging
• Compliance Standards: Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

Substitution is valid where these parameters define the functional and physical requirements of the application circuit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MCP2561T-H/SN and MCP2562T-H/SN maintain Active product status within Microchip Technology's current portfolio. Selection between these devices is determined by application-specific requirements and supply chain availability. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH regulatory requirements. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical across all critical parameters that govern CAN bus transceiver functionality, package compatibility, and thermal performance. Component selection should be based on inventory availability, packaging format preference (standard packaging versus Cut Tape and Digi-Reel options), and moisture sensitivity level requirements for the intended manufacturing and storage environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MCP2562T-H/SN directly replace the MCP2561T-H/SN in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both devices share identical electrical specifications for supply voltage (4.5V ~ 5.5V), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 150°C), CANbus protocol implementation, and 8-SOIC package dimensions. Direct pin-for-pin substitution is valid where these parameters define the circuit requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between these two transceiver models?

A: The primary differences are the base product number designation (MCP2561 versus MCP2562) and moisture sensitivity level classification. The MCP2561T-H/SN carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), while the MCP2562T-H/SN carries MSL 3 (168 Hours). All electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Does moisture sensitivity level affect substitution compatibility?

A: Moisture sensitivity level impacts component handling, storage, and manufacturing processes but does not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility. Selection should account for the specific moisture control requirements of the manufacturing environment and storage conditions.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging formats?

A: The MCP2561T-H/SN is available in standard packaging. The MCP2562T-H/SN is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel packaging formats. Both utilize the identical 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) case specification.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both devices?

A: Both the MCP2561T-H/SN and MCP2562T-H/SN are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and HTSUS code 8542.39.0001.
