80HCPS1848CBRI Serial RapidIO® Switch Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 80HCPS1848CBRI is a Serial RapidIO® Switch integrated circuit manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, designed for wireless infrastructure applications. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of equivalent substitute parts for ongoing system support and new design implementations. The part is housed in a 784-FCBGA (29x29) package and operates as a surface-mount device. Due to its obsolete status, sourcing equivalent active alternatives is critical for supply chain continuity and long-term product availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 80HCPS1848CBRI is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Functional Equivalence Criteria:

• Identical Series designation (CPS-1848)
• Identical device type (Serial RapidIO® Switch)
• Identical package specification (784-FCBGA, 29x29 footprint)
• Identical mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 4, 72 Hours)
• Identical regulatory compliance (REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8542.39.0001)

The 80HCPS1848CBLGI meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is product status (obsolete versus active) and packaging format (bulk versus tray). These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility, pin configuration, or functional performance in wireless infrastructure applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement: The 80HCPS1848CBLGI is the direct functional equivalent for the 80HCPS1848CBRI. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, pin configurations, package geometry, and regulatory compliance status. The substitute part carries active product status from Renesas Electronics Corporation, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support.

Compliance Considerations: The 80HCPS1848CBLGI provides enhanced compliance documentation with explicit ROHS3 certification, whereas the main part does not specify RoHS status. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence for export and procurement purposes.

Packaging and Handling: The transition from bulk to tray packaging in the substitute part does not affect component functionality or performance. Both parts maintain identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 4, 72 Hours) requirements, necessitating equivalent handling and storage protocols during assembly operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 80HCPS1848CBLGI be used as a direct replacement for the 80HCPS1848CBRI in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally identical Serial RapidIO® Switches from the CPS-1848 series with matching 784-FCBGA (29x29) package specifications, pin configurations, and electrical characteristics. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference (Obsolete vs. Active)?

A: Product status indicates manufacturing and support lifecycle. The 80HCPS1848CBRI is obsolete, meaning Renesas Electronics Corporation has discontinued production. The 80HCPS1848CBLGI is active, ensuring continued manufacturing, availability, and technical support from the manufacturer.

Q: Does the packaging format difference (bulk vs. tray) affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format is a logistics and handling consideration only. Both bulk and tray packaging contain identical components with identical electrical and mechanical properties. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain identical REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification. The substitute part includes explicit ROHS3 compliance certification, providing additional regulatory documentation. Both parts carry identical HTSUS codes (8542.39.0001).

Q: What are the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) requirements for both parts?

A: Both the 80HCPS1848CBRI and 80HCPS1848CBLGI are classified as MSL 4 with a 72-hour floor life. This classification requires controlled storage conditions and handling protocols during assembly to prevent moisture-induced failures.

Q: Is the 80HCPS1848CBLGI the only available substitute for the 80HCPS1848CBRI?

A: Based on the provided technical specifications and substitution criteria, the 80HCPS1848CBLGI is the identified equivalent part. Substitution is determined by matching Series designation, device type, package specification, mounting technology, and regulatory compliance status.
