Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SN65LVPE502CPRGET is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Data Rate (Max): 5Gbps
• Number of Channels: 2
• Package / Case: 24-VFQFN Exposed Pad
• Supplier Device Package: 24-VQFN (4x4)
• Voltage - Supply: 3V ~ 3.6V
• Signal Conditioning: Input Equalization, Output De-Emphasis
• Capacitance - Input: 1.25 pF

Parametric Equivalent Parts share identical electrical specifications, signal types (CML input, VML output), delay characteristics, and thermal operating ranges. These parts are direct functional replacements within the SN65LVPE502 base product family.

Manufacturer Recommended Substitute (TUSB522PRGET) operates at the same 5Gbps data rate with 2 channels in the same 24-VQFN (4x4) package. However, this part features Differential input/output signaling instead of CML/VML, operates at a lower maximum current (98mA vs 100mA), and has a reduced operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C). This part is classified as Active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Functional Replacement: SN65LVPE502ARGER, SN65LVPE502ARLLR, SN65LVPE502BRGER, SN65LVPE502CPRGER, SN65LVPE502RGER, and SN65LVPE502RGET are parametric equivalents within the SN65LVPE502 family. All maintain CML input and VML output signaling, identical supply voltage ranges, and ROHS3 compliance. Selection among these parts depends on packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) and physical package dimensions (24-VQFN 4x4 vs. 3x3). Parts with 290ps delay time (SN65LVPE502RGER, SN65LVPE502RGET) offer marginally faster signal propagation compared to the 305ps specification of the main part.

For Active Product Status Requirement: TUSB522PRGET is the only substitute with Active product status. This part operates at 5Gbps with 2 channels in the same 24-VFQFN (4x4) package. The primary difference is signal interface type: TUSB522PRGET uses Differential input/output signaling rather than CML/VML. This substitution requires circuit-level signal interface verification. Operating temperature range is reduced to 0°C ~ 70°C, and supply current is 98mA versus 100mA.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 2 (1 Year) moisture sensitivity rating, consistent with the main part specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SN65LVPE502ARGER directly replace SN65LVPE502CPRGET? A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications, signal types (CML input, VML output), data rates (5Gbps), channel count (2), and operating temperature range (0°C ~ 85°C). The difference is packaging format: SN65LVPE502ARGER uses Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® while SN65LVPE502CPRGET uses Tape & Reel. Both use 24-VQFN (4x4) packages.

Q: What is the difference between SN65LVPE502ARLLR and other SN65LVPE502 variants? A: SN65LVPE502ARLLR uses a 24-VQFN (3x3) package instead of the standard 24-VQFN (4x4). All other electrical parameters remain identical. Physical package dimensions must be verified for PCB layout compatibility before substitution.

Q: Why does TUSB522PRGET have different signal types? A: TUSB522PRGET is designed for USB 3.1 applications and uses Differential input/output signaling instead of CML/VML. This represents a different signal interface architecture. Substitution requires circuit redesign to accommodate the different signal conditioning approach.

Q: Can I use TUSB522PRGET as a drop-in replacement? A: No. While TUSB522PRGET matches the 5Gbps data rate, 2-channel configuration, and 24-VFQFN (4x4) package, the Differential signal interface differs from the CML/VML interface of SN65LVPE502CPRGET. Additionally, the operating temperature range is limited to 0°C ~ 70°C. Circuit-level signal interface modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the 290ps vs. 305ps delay time difference? A: SN65LVPE502RGER and SN65LVPE502RGET specify 290ps delay time compared to 305ps for other variants. This 15ps difference represents faster signal propagation. For timing-critical USB 3.0 applications, this may provide marginal performance improvement but does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All parts listed—SN65LVPE502CPRGET, SN65LVPE502ARGER, SN65LVPE502ARLLR, SN65LVPE502BRGER, SN65LVPE502CPRGER, SN65LVPE502RGER, SN65LVPE502RGET, and TUSB522PRGET—are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 2 (1 Year) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Which substitute has the best availability? A: SN65LVPE502BRGER has the highest inventory at 5,992 pieces. SN65LVPE502CPRGER follows with 5,350 pieces. TUSB522PRGET (Active status) has 2,400 pieces available.
