Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute qualification for the PS2381-1Y-V-L-AX is determined by exact equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Isolation Voltage: 5000Vrms (non-negotiable for safety-critical isolation requirements)
  • Channel Configuration: Single channel (1 CH)
  • Output Configuration: Transistor output (determines circuit interface compatibility)
  • Current Transfer Ratio Range: 100% minimum to 300% maximum @ 5mA (controls signal transmission efficiency)
  • Output Voltage Rating: 80V maximum (defines safe operating voltage ceiling)
  • Output Current Capability: 50mA per channel (establishes load-driving capacity)
  • Saturation Voltage: 300mV maximum (affects low-side switching performance)
  • Switching Response: 4µs rise time, 5µs fall time (determines maximum switching frequency)
  • Temperature Operating Range: -40°C to 115°C (environmental operating envelope)
  • Packaging: 4-LSOP (2.54mm) Surface Mount, Gull Wing (ensures PCB compatibility and assembly requirements)
  • Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, MSL Level 1 (manufacturing and environmental standards)

The PS2381-1Y-V-L-AX from Renesas Electronics Corporation meets all specified parameters and qualifies as a parametric equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Renesas Electronics Corporation PS2381-1Y-V-L-AX is the direct equivalent for the discontinued CEL PS2381-1Y-V-L-AX. Selection criteria are as follows:

Availability: The Renesas part maintains active product status with 4014 units in stock, compared to the original CEL source which is discontinued. This ensures long-term supply chain viability for new designs and production runs.

Compliance Alignment: Both variants maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, satisfying regulatory and manufacturing environment requirements without additional qualification steps.

Electrical Equivalence: Parameter-for-parameter matching across isolation voltage, current transfer ratios, output ratings, switching response, and temperature operating range confirms direct functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

Packaging Compatibility: Identical 4-LSOP (2.54mm) Surface Mount Gull Wing packaging ensures drop-in replacement capability without PCB redesign or assembly process modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Renesas PS2381-1Y-V-L-AX be used as a direct replacement for the discontinued CEL part?

A: Yes. The Renesas variant is a parametric equivalent with matching electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance status and MSL Level 1 ratings. REACH and ECCN classifications are unaffected across both variants.

Q: Does the 4-LSOP (2.54mm) package apply to both parts?

A: Yes. Both the CEL and Renesas versions use the same 4-LSOP (2.54mm) Surface Mount package with Gull Wing lead configuration. Direct PCB compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What are the isolation voltage implications for this optoisolator?

A: The 5000Vrms isolation rating defines the maximum voltage differential the part can sustain between input and output sides while maintaining circuit isolation. This parameter cannot be compromised in substitution; both parts are rated identically.

Q: Is the current transfer ratio specification critical for circuit design?

A: Yes. The 100% minimum to 300% maximum CTR range @ 5mA establishes input-to-output signal transmission characteristics. Both parts match this specification exactly, ensuring consistent circuit performance.

Q: What switching speed considerations apply to this device?

A: Rise time of 4µs and fall time of 5µs define the maximum switching frequency and timing precision the part supports. Both variants are identical, confirming equivalent frequency response in applications.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity or handling differences present between parts?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no special moisture-sensitive handling precautions are required during storage or assembly.
