Hi Team,
We received PCN for SN75ALS176DR, Suggested alternate part is SN65ALS176DR. I have below queries on this;
- Is the replacement SN65ALS176DR is Drop-in to SN75ALS176DR?
- Please share the difference in comparison table.
Thanks!

Hi Srikanya,
1. Yes it is a drop in replacement.
2. There are a few minor differences - that shouldn't negatively impact the vast majority of use cases.
Change | Old Value | New Value | Comment |
Rec. Operating Temperature | 0C to 70C | -40C to 85C | This is an improvement, so no concern here |
RΘJA | 110 C/W | 116.7 C/W |
Slight increase in junction to ambient thermal resistance - for 1 Watt of power the device will have a 116.7C raise in junction temperature vs. 110C raise in junction temperature - this shouldn't be a major concern in most applications as this value varies greatly with system setup Please see app note here for in-depth information on thermal parameters |
RΘJC(top) | 44.1 C/W | 56.3 C/W | Increase in junction to top of case thermal impedance |
RΘJB | 53.5 C/W | 63.4 C/W | Increase in junction to board thermal resistance |
ΨJT | 4.8 C/W | 8.8 C/W | Increase in Junction-to-top characterization parameter |
ΨJB | 52.7 C/W | 62.6 C/W | Junction-to-board characterization parameter |

There are few minor differences - but barring any extreme edge cases - the device is a drop in replacement and should be able to meet the needs of the application/ use case that the older device was filling. The largest differences are the thermal parameters - but these values vary quite a bit system to system so please see the app note that i linked in the comment on the thermal impedances in the table above to help determine if these value changes will impact the system - in most systems these slight increases don't much much of a difference - and considering that the application used a lower temperature rated part the concern is minimal.
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Best,
Parker Dodson
