MSKSEMI
Strong functional match with same package and voltage, but pinout differs on pin 4. Offers higher output current.
Finding a substitute for the Richtek RT9193-25GB, a 2.5V 300mA LDO in a SOT-23-5 package, requires careful review of pinout and electrical parameters. Several functional alternatives exist with minor differences.
Pin 4 function (Bypass) is critical for performance in some circuits.
Most candidates use the same SOT-23-5 package. One requires footprint check.
Direct replacement for RT9193-25GB should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
RT9013-25GB-MS offers matching voltage and higher current in the same package, but requires review of the pin 4 function.
The primary risk is the pinout difference on pin 4, where the target's Bypass (BP) pin is replaced by a No Connect (NC) on alternatives, potentially impacting noise and stability.

| Feature / factor | RT9193-25GB | RT9013-25GB-MS | NCP114ASN250T1G | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | SOT-23-5 | SOT-23-5 | TSOP-5 | SOT-23-5 / TSOP-5 — Package matches target.; NCP114ASN250T1G: Package may be footprint compatible with SOT-23-5 but requires verification. | |
| Pinout | Pin 4: BP | Pin 4: NC | Pin 4: NC | Pin 4: NC — Pin 4 is Not Connected vs Bypass on target. Requires circuit review.; NCP114ASN250T1G: Pin 4 is Not Connected vs Bypass on target. Requires circuit review. | |
| Voltage | 2.5V | 2.5V | 2.5V | 2.5V — Output voltage matches.; NCP114ASN250T1G: Output voltage matches. | |
| Current | 300mA | 500mA | 300mA | 500mA / 300mA — Higher output current capability.; NCP114ASN250T1G: Output current matches. |
Verified drop-in options for RT9193-25GB are limited in the current batch. Review candidates marked Strong match or Datasheet verified, and validate package, pinout, and electrical limits before committing a BOM change.
