MIC2560-1BWM TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MIC2560-1BWM TR is a Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) functioning as a power switch driver with 3:2 input-to-output ratio configuration. This N-Channel low-side switch is designed for PCMCIA applications, delivering up to 200mA output current across multiple voltage domains (3.3V, 5V, 12V). The device integrates current limiting and over-temperature fault protection with status flag output.

The MIC2560-1BWM TR is classified as obsolete. Equivalent substitute parts are available in active product status, making substitution necessary for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MIC2560-1BWM TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Switch Type: PCMSIA Switch
• Input-to-Output Ratio: 3:2
• Output Configuration: Low Side, N-Channel
• Maximum Output Current: 200mA
• On-Resistance (Rds On): 550mOhm typical
• Load Voltage Support: 3.3V, 5V, 12V
• Fault Protection: Current Limiting (Fixed) and Over Temperature
• Package: 16-SOIC form factor
• Interface: Logic-level, Non-Inverting input

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. Differences exist only in product status, packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape), and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MIC2560-0YWM-TR and MIC2560-1YWM-TR are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents to the obsolete MIC2560-1BWM TR. Selection between these two active alternatives is based on procurement and compliance requirements:

MIC2560-0YWM-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, matching the original part's delivery method. This variant is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL rating of 2 (1 Year).

MIC2560-1YWM-TR is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format, suitable for lower-volume applications or manual assembly workflows. This variant is also ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 2 (1 Year).

Both substitute parts meet current environmental and regulatory standards (ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status). The original MIC2560-1BWM TR is RoHS non-compliant, making transition to either substitute necessary for designs requiring regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MIC2560-0YWM-TR and MIC2560-1YWM-TR be used interchangeably with MIC2560-1BWM TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications, output current ratings, on-resistance, fault protection mechanisms, and 16-SOIC package dimensions. Differences exist only in packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) and product status (Active vs. Obsolete).

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is used for high-volume automated assembly, with components wound on continuous tape. Cut Tape packaging provides individual component segments, suitable for lower-volume production or manual assembly. Both formats contain identical die and electrical performance.

Q: Why is the original MIC2560-1BWM TR marked as obsolete?

A: Microchip Technology has transitioned this product line to active variants with improved compliance certifications (ROHS3). The obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production, though existing inventory may remain available.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: Yes. The MIC2560-1BWM TR is RoHS non-compliant, while both MIC2560-0YWM-TR and MIC2560-1YWM-TR are ROHS3 compliant. Both substitute parts are REACH unaffected. Moisture Sensitivity Level differs: the original is MSL 1 (Unlimited), while substitutes are MSL 2 (1 Year).

Q: Can I use MIC2560-1YWM-TR in high-volume production?

A: MIC2560-1YWM-TR is available in Cut Tape format, which is typically used for lower-volume or manual assembly applications. For high-volume automated production, MIC2560-0YWM-TR in Tape & Reel format is the standard choice.

Q: Do all three parts support the same load voltages?

A: Yes. All three parts (MIC2560-1BWM TR, MIC2560-0YWM-TR, and MIC2560-1YWM-TR) support identical load voltages: 3.3V, 5V, and 12V, with maximum output current of 200mA and typical on-resistance of 550mOhm.
