|---|---|---|---|---|
| FFF Compatibility | Exactly matches the SO-8 package and Pinout of the target PCA82C251T, retaining the reference voltage on pin 5 and adjustable slope control on pin 8.Housed in the same standard 8-SOIC (3.90mm width) package.Meets or exceeds all performance specifications with half-duplex high-speed CANbus transceiver functionality. | Matches the exact SOT96-1 (SO8) package and identical pin assignments.Identical 8-SOIC package dimensions.Lower maximum bus voltage protection range of -8V to +18V (intended for 12V systems), whereas the target PCA82C251T supports up to -40V to +40V for 24V heavy-duty applications. | ||
 AI Summary | PCA82C251T/YM,118 by NXP: 1/1 Transceiver Half CANbus 8-SO. | The L9616-TR is an excellent active second-source option that retains full drop-in compatibility. It preserves the vital Vref output on Pin 5 and the slope control feature on Pin 8 without requiring any PCB layout changes.
| The PCA82C250T/YM,118 is a pin-compatible older sibling from NXP that is still actively produced. However, it is designed for 12V vehicle buses and lacks the ±36V/±40V bus protection of the PCA82C251T, making it unsafe for 24V electrical architectures.

Frequently asked questions
No. The NXP PCA82C251T/YM,118 is marked not-recommended-for-new-designs (NRND): it is still supplied for existing production but the manufacturer discourages new sockets. The qualified alternatives here are better long-term choices for a new design.
The closest qualified second sources for the NXP PCA82C251T/YM,118 are the L9616-TR (STMicroelectronics) and the PCA82C250T/YM,118 (NXP USA Inc.), out of 3 matched alternatives in total. Each is compared against the original on fit, form and function in the table above.
Not always. The alternatives to the PCA82C251T/YM,118 are matched on function but can differ in package, pinout or a key parameter, so review the fit/form/function notes in the table and the datasheet before designing one in.
The PCA82C251T/YM,118 (NXP) is a part in the Interface category. This page lists qualified, cross-referenced replacements for it with a side-by-side comparison.
