1. TPS2031DG4 Substitution Conclusion
The TPS2031DG4 can serve as a viable substitute, with one critical distinction: it features a non-inverting input type, whereas the original TPS2021DG4 is inverting. The enable (EN) pin logic is consequently opposite; it is active-low for the TPS2021DG4 and active-high for the TPS2031DG4. For a direct replacement, the microcontroller control logic must be modified or an inverter added to ensure proper switch operation. Beyond this, all core specifications are identical between the two devices. This includes the load voltage range (2.7V to 5.5V), maximum output current (600mA), on-resistance (33mOhm), package (8-SOIC), and fault protection features (current limit, thermal shutdown, UVLO). Their performance is therefore equivalent in these aspects.
2. AP2161SG-13 Substitution Conclusion
The AP2161SG-13 is not suitable as a direct replacement for the TPS2021DG4 due to several key technical differences that impact circuit performance and design. First, the output types differ: the original device uses an N-channel MOSFET, while the AP2161SG-13 employs a P-channel type. This variance can lead to differences in drive characteristics and switching speed. Second, the on-resistance is significantly higher. The AP2161SG-13 has an Rds(On) of 95mOhm, substantially greater than the original's 33mOhm. Under identical load current, this results in higher conduction voltage drop and power dissipation, potentially affecting system efficiency and increasing thermal load. Finally, while it includes an additional "reverse current" protection feature, its core current capability (1A) and fundamental definition as a USB switch also differ. These disparities make the two parts non-equivalent in electrical performance and application suitability. A direct substitution would likely compromise the performance and reliability of the original design.
