Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PS9513L2-AX are categorized into two groups based on electrical and mechanical compatibility:

Direct Equivalents (Identical Electrical Specifications): Direct equivalents maintain all critical electrical parameters: 5000Vrms isolation voltage, 1Mbps data rate, 15mA output current, 15kV/µs CMTI, open collector output, and identical propagation delay characteristics. These parts differ only in manufacturer, product status, or packaging format (Tube vs. Tape & Reel). Direct equivalents are PS9513L2-AX (Renesas, Active), PS9513L3-AX (Renesas, Active), and PS9513L3-E3-AX (Renesas, Active).

Similar Parts (Enhanced Performance Characteristics): Similar parts share the same isolation voltage (5000Vrms), CMTI (15kV/µs), package format (8-DIP Gull Wing), and open collector output, but feature enhanced data rate (10Mbps vs. 1Mbps), faster propagation delay (75ns vs. 750ns/500ns), and higher output current (25mA vs. 15mA). These parts operate within a narrower supply voltage range (4.5V ~ 5.5V vs. 4.5V ~ 20V) and lower maximum operating temperature (85°C vs. 100°C). Similar parts are PS9587L2-AX, PS9587L2-E3-AX, and PS9587L3-AX.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Identical Electrical Performance):

Select PS9513L3-E3-AX (Renesas Electronics Corporation) as the primary direct equivalent. This part maintains all electrical specifications of the PS9513L2-AX, including 1Mbps data rate, 15mA output current, 750ns/500ns propagation delay, and 4.5V to 20V supply voltage range. The PS9513L3-E3-AX is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with 3100 pieces in stock, providing high availability. This part carries Active product status and ROHS3 compliance with REACH Unaffected status, eliminating regulatory constraints present in the original CEL part.

Alternative direct equivalents include PS9513L2-AX (Renesas, Tube packaging, 1228 pcs stock) and PS9513L3-AX (Renesas, Tube packaging, 1750 pcs stock). Both maintain identical electrical specifications and Active product status. Selection between these three direct equivalents depends on packaging requirements: Tape & Reel for automated assembly processes or Tube for manual handling and lower volume applications.

For Enhanced Performance Applications:

Select PS9587L3-AX (Renesas Electronics Corporation) when application requirements permit operation within narrower supply voltage (4.5V ~ 5.5V) and temperature (−40°C ~ 85°C) ranges. This part provides 10Mbps data rate (10× improvement), 75ns propagation delay (10× faster), and 25mA output current (67% increase) compared to the PS9513L2-AX. The PS9587L3-AX is supplied in Tube packaging with 1698 pieces in stock and carries Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status.

Alternative enhanced performance options include PS9587L2-AX (Tube, 1252 pcs) and PS9587L2-E3-AX (Tape & Reel, 1779 pcs), both offering identical electrical enhancements with different packaging formats.

Regulatory and Compliance Considerations:

All recommended substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity), matching the original PS9513L2-AX specifications. The Renesas Electronics Corporation parts designated as REACH Unaffected provide regulatory advantage over the original CEL part marked as REACH Affected. All parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.49.8000.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PS9587L2-AX or PS9587L3-AX be used as direct replacements for PS9513L2-AX?

A: PS9587 series parts are not direct replacements. While they share identical isolation voltage (5000Vrms), CMTI (15kV/µs), package format (8-DIP Gull Wing), and open collector output, they operate at 10Mbps data rate versus 1Mbps, feature 75ns propagation delay versus 750ns/500ns, and require supply voltage limited to 4.5V ~ 5.5V versus 4.5V ~ 20V. PS9587 series parts are suitable only for applications where the narrower supply voltage range and lower maximum operating temperature (85°C vs. 100°C) are acceptable and where higher speed performance is beneficial or required.

Q: What is the difference between PS9513L2-AX, PS9513L3-AX, and PS9513L3-E3-AX?

A: All three parts are direct electrical equivalents with identical specifications. The differences are: PS9513L2-AX (Renesas) is supplied in Tube packaging with REACH Affected status; PS9513L3-AX is supplied in Tube packaging with REACH Unaffected status; PS9513L3-E3-AX is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with REACH Unaffected status. Selection depends on packaging format requirements and regulatory constraints. For new designs, PS9513L3-E3-AX is recommended due to REACH Unaffected status and Tape & Reel format suitability for automated assembly.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All recommended substitute parts (PS9513L2-AX, PS9513L3-AX, PS9513L3-E3-AX, PS9587L2-AX, PS9587L2-E3-AX, and PS9587L3-AX) carry ROHS3 compliance certification, matching the original PS9513L2-AX specification.

Q: What packaging formats are available for the PS9513 series?

A: PS9513 series parts are available in two packaging formats: Tube (standard packaging for lower volume applications) and Tape & Reel (TR) for automated assembly processes. PS9513L2-AX and PS9513L3-AX are supplied in Tube format. PS9513L3-E3-AX is supplied in Tape & Reel format with the highest inventory availability (3100 pieces).

Q: Can the PS9513L2-AX operate at supply voltages above 5.5V?

A: Yes. The PS9513L2-AX operates across 4.5V to 20V supply voltage range. The PS9587 series parts are limited to 4.5V ~ 5.5V. This wider supply voltage range of the PS9513 series is a key differentiator for applications requiring operation at higher supply voltages.

Q: What is the significance of the "E3" designation in PS9513L3-E3-AX?

A: The "E3" designation indicates Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Parts without the "E3" designation are supplied in Tube packaging for manual handling. Both formats contain identical components with identical electrical specifications.

Q: Are there any temperature range limitations when substituting with PS9587 series?

A: Yes. PS9587 series parts operate within −40°C to 85°C temperature range, compared to −40°C to 100°C for PS9513 series. Applications requiring operation above 85°C must use PS9513 series parts. PS9587 series substitution is valid only for applications where maximum operating temperature does not exceed 85°C.
