  • Number of channels: 1 (single channel configuration)
  • Output configuration: Push-Pull, Totem Pole (identical output stage topology)
  • Data rate: 15Mbps (minimum performance threshold)
  • Common mode transient immunity: 10kV/µs (minimum CMTI specification)
  • Propagation delay: 60ns maximum for both tpLH and tpHL
  • Supply voltage: 4.5V ~ 5.5V (compatible operating range)
  • Operating temperature: -40°C ~ 100°C (identical range)

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

  • Package: 8-SSOP (identical footprint and pin configuration)
  • Mounting: Surface Mount (compatible assembly process)

Compliance Equivalence Criteria:

  • RoHS3 Compliant status
  • REACH Unaffected status
  • Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)

The PS9851-1-F3-AX meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent part.
