Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the USB2513B/M2 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical criteria:

• Base Product Number: USB2513 (same controller architecture)
• Functional Classification: Hub Controller with USB 2.0 protocol support
• Electrical Specifications: Identical supply voltage range (3V – 3.6V) and current consumption (65mA)
• Operating Temperature: Matching range of 0°C – 85°C
• Package Compatibility: 36-pin VFQFN with exposed pad (mechanical and thermal equivalence)
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 3 rating maintained
• Interface Protocol: USB 2.0 standard maintained across all substitutes

The USB2513B-AEZC qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on these criteria. Both parts share identical electrical performance characteristics, thermal specifications, and regulatory certifications, differing only in packaging designation nomenclature and ECCN/HTSUS classification codes, which do not affect functional interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the USB2513B/M2 and USB2513B-AEZC are active production components from Microchip Technology with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and thermal specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory Availability: USB2513B-AEZC maintains higher stock levels (16,707 units) compared to USB2513B/M2 (3,260 units), providing supply chain advantages for high-volume procurement.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain equivalent ROHS3 and REACH compliance status, ensuring regulatory interchangeability in end-use applications.
• Packaging Designation: Both utilize 36-VFQFN exposed pad construction with identical mechanical and thermal characteristics, ensuring PCB layout compatibility without redesign.
• Moisture Handling: Matching MSL 3 rating (168 hours) ensures equivalent storage and handling requirements across manufacturing environments.

Either part is suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring USB 2.0 hub controller functionality within the specified voltage, current, and temperature parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are USB2513B/M2 and USB2513B-AEZC electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical supply voltage (3V – 3.6V), current consumption (65mA), operating temperature range (0°C – 85°C), and USB 2.0 protocol specifications. No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Do these parts require different PCB layouts?

A: No. Both parts use 36-VFQFN exposed pad packaging with identical pin configurations and thermal pad dimensions. Existing PCB designs require no modification for part substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the part numbers USB2513B/M2 and USB2513B-AEZC?

A: The part numbers reflect different packaging designations and trade classification codes (ECCN/HTSUS). The functional specifications, electrical performance, and regulatory compliance are identical. The difference is administrative rather than technical.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity requirements the same?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 3 rating with 168-hour floor life. Identical storage, handling, and reflow procedures apply to both components.

Q: Can I use USB2513B-AEZC as a drop-in replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The USB2513B-AEZC is a direct parametric equivalent with no design changes required. Pin configuration, package footprint, electrical characteristics, and thermal properties are identical to the USB2513B/M2.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Regulatory certifications are equivalent across both components.
