ADS6424IRGC25 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ADS6424IRGC25 is a 12-bit pipelined analog-to-digital converter manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for data acquisition applications requiring simultaneous sampling across four differential input channels. This device operates at a 105 MHz sampling rate with external or internal reference capability and is housed in a 64-VQFN (9x9) surface mount package.

The ADS6424IRGC25 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and support long-term production requirements for systems currently utilizing this component.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ADS6424IRGC25 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• 12-bit resolution
• 105 MHz sampling rate
• 4 differential input channels
• Pipelined architecture
• LVDS serial data interface
• 3V to 3.6V dual supply operation
• 64-VQFN (9x9) surface mount package
• External and internal reference capability
• Simultaneous sampling feature

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to packaging format and product lifecycle status. The ADS6424IRGCT maintains identical electrical and functional specifications while differing in packaging configuration and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ADS6424IRGCT serves as a direct functional equivalent to the ADS6424IRGC25. Both devices are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting equivalent regulatory requirements. The ADS6424IRGCT maintains active product status with Texas Instruments, ensuring ongoing availability and technical support.

The substitution is appropriate for new designs and production continuity. The ADS6424IRGCT is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging format, which is standard for high-volume manufacturing operations. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, thermal characteristics, and package geometry, enabling direct PCB-level substitution without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ADS6424IRGCT replace the ADS6424IRGC25 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and functionally identical across all specified parameters. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Tube) and product lifecycle status. PCB layout and schematic integration require no modification.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging format difference?

A: The ADS6424IRGC25 is supplied in tube packaging, while the ADS6424IRGCT is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for automated assembly processes and high-volume production. Tube packaging is typically used for lower-volume or manual assembly scenarios. Component handling and pick-and-place equipment compatibility should be verified for your specific manufacturing environment.

Q: Why is the ADS6424IRGC25 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that Texas Instruments has discontinued active production and support for this specific part number variant. The ADS6424IRGCT represents the current active equivalent, ensuring access to ongoing technical documentation, application support, and supply chain availability.

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

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL ratings. Regulatory and environmental compliance requirements are equivalent.

Q: What is the MSL rating and why does it matter?

A: Both parts carry an MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) rating of 3 with a 168-hour floor life. This rating specifies moisture handling and storage requirements prior to soldering. Components must be stored in controlled humidity environments and baked according to IPC standards if floor life is exceeded.
