Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 280PGILF is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Package / Case: 16-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40mm Width)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Frequency - Max: 200MHz
• Voltage - Supply: 3.135V ~ 3.465V
• PLL: Yes with Bypass
• Input Type: Clock, Crystal
• Output Type: CMOS
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Ratio - Input:Output: 1:4
• Divider/Multiplier: Yes/Yes
• Differential - Input:Output: No/No

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Operating Temperature range may differ based on application requirements
• Packaging format (Tube vs. other configurations) does not affect functional substitution
• RoHS compliance status may vary between substitute parts

The 280PGLF is identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering different packaging and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 280PGLF is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the 280PGILF. Both parts are classified as obsolete products within the Renesas VersaClock® series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Key Considerations:

The primary difference between these parts is the operating temperature range. The 280PGILF supports -40°C to 85°C operation, while the 280PGLF operates within 0°C to 70°C. Selection between these parts must be based on the specific thermal requirements of the target application environment.

The 280PGLF provides ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas compliance status for the 280PGILF is not specified in available documentation. For applications subject to regulatory or procurement requirements mandating RoHS compliance, the 280PGLF is the appropriate selection.

Both parts maintain identical package geometry, pinout, and functional characteristics, ensuring direct substitution at the circuit board level without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 280PGLF directly replace the 280PGILF in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 280PGLF is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, package geometry, and pinout configuration. Direct substitution is possible provided the operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C for the 280PGLF meets application requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 280PGILF and 280PGLF?

A: The operating temperature range differs. The 280PGILF operates from -40°C to 85°C, while the 280PGLF operates from 0°C to 70°C. The 280PGLF also carries ROHS3 compliance certification. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the 280PGILF and 280PGLF use the identical 16-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40mm Width) surface mount package with matching pinout and mechanical dimensions.

Q: What does the obsolete product status mean for these parts?

A: Both parts are classified as obsolete by Renesas Electronics. This designation indicates that these products are no longer in active production. Existing inventory may be available through authorized distributors, but long-term availability cannot be guaranteed.

Q: How do I determine which substitute part is appropriate for my application?

A: Evaluate your application's operating temperature requirements. If operation below 0°C or above 70°C is required, the 280PGILF specification is necessary. If operation within 0°C to 70°C is acceptable and RoHS3 compliance is required, the 280PGLF is the appropriate selection. All other functional parameters are identical between the two parts.

Q: What is the significance of the 1:4 Input:Output ratio specification?

A: This parameter indicates the frequency multiplication capability of the clock synthesizer. The device can multiply an input clock signal by a factor of 4 to generate the output frequency, supporting applications requiring frequency synthesis and distribution.

Q: Does the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating affect substitution?

A: No. Both parts carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture bake requirements. This parameter is identical for both parts and does not impact substitution decisions.
