Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AS1109-BSSU-Z is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

  • Topology: Shift Register architecture
  • Number of Outputs: 8 channels
  • Current Rating: 100mA per channel
  • Supply Voltage Range: 3.15V to 5.5V
  • Output Voltage: 15V
  • Operating Frequency: 50MHz
  • Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

  • Package Type: 16-SSOP (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount
  • Pin Configuration: Identical footprint compatibility

Compliance Equivalence Criteria:

  • RoHS Compliance: Required
  • Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The AS1109-BSSU (without the -Z suffix) meets all electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements for direct substitution. Both parts share identical base product number AS1109 and are manufactured by the same supplier.
