AT88SC0204CA-MPTG Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AT88SC0204CA-MPTG is a Secure Memory M2 - P Module (TWI) manufactured by Microchip Technology, part of the CryptoMemory® series. This surface mount secure memory component is designed for embedded and smart card applications requiring cryptographic memory functionality. The part maintains Active product status with 1114 pieces in current inventory stock.

Substitute parts become necessary when the M2 P Module (TWI) package format is unavailable, when alternative packaging configurations better suit manufacturing requirements, or when supply chain constraints require alternative sourcing while maintaining functional equivalence.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AT88SC0204CA-MPTG is determined by the following critical parameters:

Functional Equivalence Criteria:

• Base Product Number: AT88SC0204 (core secure memory function)
• Series: CryptoMemory® (cryptographic memory architecture)
• Type: Secure Memory (functional classification)
• Applications: Embedded, Smart Card (use case compatibility)

Compliance & Environmental Criteria:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 3 (168 Hours)
• ECCN: 5A992C
• HTSUS: 8542.32.0051

Manufacturing Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Microchip Technology
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Product Status: Active

The substitute part AT88SC0204CA-SH-T shares the identical base product number (AT88SC0204), manufacturer, series, type, and all compliance certifications. The primary difference is the package format: 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) versus M2 P Module (TWI).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: AT88SC0204CA-MPTG

Select the AT88SC0204CA-MPTG when the application requires the M2 P Module (TWI) package format for smart card module integration. This part maintains Active product status with established supply availability.

Substitute Selection: AT88SC0204CA-SH-T

Select the AT88SC0204CA-SH-T when:

• The application design accommodates 8-SOIC package format
• PCB layout and footprint support 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) mounting
• The M2 P Module format is unavailable or supply constraints require alternative packaging

Both parts share identical compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected), moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 3), and export classifications (ECCN 5A992C, HTSUS 8542.32.0051). Both maintain Active product status from Microchip Technology.

The AT88SC0204CA-SH-T offers higher current inventory availability (4400 pieces versus 1114 pieces) and alternative packaging in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® formats.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if AT88SC0204CA-SH-T can substitute for AT88SC0204CA-MPTG?

A: Substitution is valid when the application can accommodate the 8-SOIC package format instead of the M2 P Module (TWI) format. Both parts share the identical AT88SC0204 base product number, CryptoMemory® series designation, and all compliance certifications. The functional secure memory capability is equivalent.

Q: Are there differences in electrical performance between these parts?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Microchip Technology from the same CryptoMemory® series with identical base product number AT88SC0204. Electrical performance characteristics are determined by the base product number, which is identical for both parts.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts?

A: The primary difference is the package format. AT88SC0204CA-MPTG uses M2 P Module (TWI) packaging for smart card module applications. AT88SC0204CA-SH-T uses 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) packaging with Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® supply options.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and share identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 3, 168 Hours), ECCN (5A992C), and HTSUS (8542.32.0051) classifications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, select based on package format requirements. If the design uses smart card module integration, select AT88SC0204CA-MPTG. If the design uses standard PCB surface mount with 8-SOIC footprint, select AT88SC0204CA-SH-T.

Q: What are the packaging and supply format differences?

A: AT88SC0204CA-MPTG is supplied as a Smart Card Module. AT88SC0204CA-SH-T is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats, offering higher inventory availability (4400 pieces in stock).
