Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IPS042 (98-0283) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Output Configuration & Type: Low-side N-channel switching architecture
• Ratio: 1:1 input-to-output configuration
• Number of Outputs: 2 outputs required
• Interface: On/off control capability
• Package Compatibility: 8-SOIC form factor with matching pinout
• Electrical Performance: Load voltage rating, output current capability, and on-resistance characteristics
• Fault Protection: Current limiting and over-temperature protection as minimum requirements
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 150°C junction temperature range
• Mounting: Surface mount technology

The BTS3410GXUMA1 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters while offering enhanced electrical performance and improved compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BTS3410GXUMA1 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete IPS042 (98-0283) based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: Both devices implement identical low-side N-channel 1:1 switching architecture with on/off control interface and matching 8-SOIC packaging. Electrical parameters of the substitute meet or exceed the original specification across all critical ratings.

Product Status & Availability: The IPS042 is classified as Obsolete, while the BTS3410GXUMA1 maintains Active status with confirmed inventory availability (1590 pcs in stock). This transition ensures long-term supply chain continuity and design sustainability.

Compliance Enhancement: The BTS3410GXUMA1 achieves ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the non-compliant IPS042 cannot satisfy. Both devices maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Performance Improvement: The substitute provides superior electrical performance with 42V load voltage rating (vs. 35V), 1.3A output current (vs. 530mA), and reduced on-resistance of 150mOhm (vs. 370mOhm). Enhanced fault protection includes over-voltage detection in addition to current limiting and over-temperature functions.

Thermal Characteristics: Identical operating temperature range (-40°C to 150°C junction temperature) ensures thermal compatibility in existing thermal designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BTS3410GXUMA1 directly replace the IPS042 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both devices share identical 8-SOIC package dimensions (0.154" width, 3.90mm) and pinout compatibility. No PCB layout modifications are required for mechanical or electrical integration.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between these parts?

A: The BTS3410GXUMA1 provides higher load voltage rating (42V vs. 35V), greater output current capability (1.3A vs. 530mA), and lower on-resistance (150mOhm vs. 370mOhm). These represent performance improvements that maintain backward compatibility with designs specified for the IPS042.

Q: Why is the IPS042 classified as Obsolete?

A: The IPS042 has reached end-of-life status in Infineon's product portfolio. The BTS3410GXUMA1 represents the current-generation equivalent within the HITFET® series, offering enhanced performance and regulatory compliance.

Q: Does the substitute provide additional protection features?

A: Yes. The BTS3410GXUMA1 includes over-voltage fault protection in addition to the current limiting and over-temperature protection present in the IPS042. This enhanced protection does not affect compatibility but provides additional system-level safeguards.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity difference between these parts?

A: The IPS042 has MSL 1 (Unlimited), while the BTS3410GXUMA1 has MSL 3 (168 Hours). Standard moisture control procedures during storage and assembly are required for the substitute part.

Q: Are there any supply chain advantages to using the BTS3410GXUMA1?

A: Yes. The BTS3410GXUMA1 is in Active production status with 1590 pcs currently in stock, compared to the Obsolete IPS042. This ensures reliable long-term availability for production and support applications.
