Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 7201LA15TPGI qualifies as a direct substitute for the 7201LA15TPI based on strict parameter equivalence. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 4.5K (512 x 9) memory capacity, asynchronous operation, 40MHz data rate, 15ns access time, 4.5 V ~ 5.5 V supply voltage, 80mA maximum current, uni-directional bus architecture, and -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range. Both devices are housed in the same 28-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole package. The substitution is valid based on these core parameters that define functional and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 7201LA15TPGI is the appropriate substitute for the 7201LA15TPI. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The 7201LA15TPGI offers two significant advantages: active product status ensures continued availability and manufacturer support, and ROHS3 compliance satisfies modern regulatory requirements where the original part does not. For new designs and ongoing production, the 7201LA15TPGI is the preferred selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original part is required, the 7201LA15TPI remains available in inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7201LA15TPGI be used as a direct replacement for the 7201LA15TPI in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters, including memory capacity, access time, supply voltage, current consumption, package type, and operating temperature range. Direct substitution is valid without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. The 7201LA15TPI is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 7201LA15TPGI is active and ROHS3 compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts use the same 28-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole package. The 7201LA15TPI is supplied in standard packaging, while the 7201LA15TPGI is supplied in tube packaging. Both are suitable for through-hole PCB assembly.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The 7201LA15TPGI should be selected for new designs. It provides active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturer support, and meets ROHS3 compliance requirements.

Q: Is the 7201LA15TPI still available?

A: The 7201LA15TPI remains available in inventory (884 pcs), but its obsolete status indicates limited future availability. The 7201LA15TPGI is the recommended long-term source (1008 pcs in stock).
