1. TPS2068DR Substitution Conclusion
The TPS2068DR is not recommended as a direct substitute for the AP2181SG-13. The fundamental difference lies in their output types: the TPS2068DR utilizes an N-Channel MOSFET, whereas the original part is a P-Channel type. This distinction is critical in typical high-side switch applications. Driving an N-Channel MOSFET requires a gate voltage higher than the input voltage, often necessitating an additional charge pump or bootstrap circuit. In contrast, a P-Channel device is turned on simply by pulling its gate low to ground. Although their electrical parameters—such as voltage/current ratings and protection features—are highly similar, the underlying architecture differs. Consequently, they are not pin-to-pin compatible, and direct substitution would likely require a redesign of the drive circuitry, potentially causing circuit malfunction.
2. AP2191SG-13 Substitution Conclusion
The AP2191SG-13 can serve as a direct substitute for the AP2181SG-13, with the caveat of adjusting the logic control signal. Both devices are P-Channel USB power switches with identical electrical specifications (voltage, current, Rds(on), protection features) and package footprint. The sole technical difference is the input type: the AP2191SG-13 is non-inverting, while the original part is inverting. For the same Enable (EN) signal logic, the switch states of the two devices are opposite. For instance, to turn the switch ON, the original device requires a low-level input, whereas the AP2191SG-13 requires a high-level input. Substitution can be achieved simply by inverting the control signal, for example via a logic gate or a change in the microcontroller GPIO configuration, with no modifications required to the power path.
