TPS25221DRVR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TPS25221DRVR is an active current switch regulator manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for power management applications requiring precise current limiting and switching control. This device operates across a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range with a 2A output current capability in a compact 6-WSON (2x2) surface mount package. The component is classified as Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the same product family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TPS25221DRVR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Identical function classification (Current Switch)
• Matching accuracy specification (±6%)
• Identical input voltage range (2.5V ~ 5.5V)
• Identical output current rating (2A)
• Matching operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C)
• Identical package type (6-WDFN Exposed Pad / 6-WSON 2x2)
• Identical surface mount mounting type
• Matching RoHS3 compliance status
• Matching MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)

The TPS25221DRVT qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on full alignment with all electrical and mechanical specifications. The distinction between these parts lies exclusively in packaging format: the DRVR variant is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format, while the DRVT variant is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both parts share the identical base product number (TPS25221) and are manufactured by Texas Instruments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TPS25221DRVR and TPS25221DRVT are Active status components with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification status. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements rather than electrical or mechanical performance criteria.

The TPS25221DRVR in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format is suitable for applications requiring smaller order quantities or mixed component sourcing. The TPS25221DRVT in Tape & Reel format is appropriate for high-volume production environments utilizing automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Both variants maintain identical electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and regulatory compliance across all specified operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TPS25221DRVT be used as a direct replacement for TPS25221DRVR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid for any application where the TPS25221DRVR is specified, provided the receiving equipment can accommodate the alternative packaging format.

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

A: Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format provides components on individual tape segments suitable for manual or semi-automated assembly. Tape & Reel format supplies components on continuous reels optimized for high-speed automated assembly equipment. Both formats contain identical components with identical specifications.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical performance differences between these variants?

A: No. Both TPS25221DRVR and TPS25221DRVT operate identically across the full -40°C to 125°C temperature range with 2A output current capability and ±6% accuracy specification. Packaging format does not affect electrical performance or thermal characteristics.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both variants are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8542.39.0001) classifications. Regulatory and environmental compliance is identical between the two parts.

Q: Which variant should be selected for production assembly?

A: Selection depends on assembly methodology. Tape & Reel (TPS25221DRVT) is standard for automated pick-and-place production lines. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® (TPS25221DRVR) is suitable for lower-volume production, prototyping, or manual assembly environments.
