BTS716GT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BTS716GT is a Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) classified as a power switch/driver with N-channel output configuration. This component functions as a general-purpose high-side switch rated for 2.3A maximum output current with integrated fault protection including current limiting, open load detection, over-temperature, and over-voltage protection. The BTS716GT is designed for automotive applications and holds AEC-Q100 qualification.

The BTS716GT has been discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing design support, production continuity, and component sourcing. Active equivalent models from the same manufacturer provide direct functional replacement while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Switch Type: General Purpose
• Number of Outputs: 4
• Output Configuration: High Side
• Output Type: N-Channel
• Voltage - Load: 5.5V ~ 40V
• Current - Output (Max): 2.3A
• Rds On (Typ): 110mOhm
• Input Type: Non-Inverting
• Fault Protection: Current Limiting (Fixed), Open Load Detect, Over Temperature, Over Voltage
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 150°C (TJ)
• Grade: Automotive
• Qualification: AEC-Q100
• Package / Case: 20-SOIC (0.295", 7.50mm Width)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility with the BTS716GT. Differences in product status, packaging format, and moisture sensitivity level do not affect functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BTS716GBXUMA1 and BTS716GXUMA1 are direct functional equivalents to the discontinued BTS716GT. Selection between these active alternatives should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: Both substitute parts maintain active product status with ongoing manufacturer support and availability, ensuring long-term supply chain reliability compared to the discontinued BTS716GT.

Compliance and Certification: All three parts maintain identical automotive-grade classification and AEC-Q100 qualification, confirming suitability for automotive applications without additional qualification requirements.

Packaging and Handling: BTS716GBXUMA1 and BTS716GXUMA1 are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging formats. The BTS716GBXUMA1 specifies Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 3 (168 Hours), while BTS716GXUMA1 also specifies MSL 3 (168 Hours). Both require standard moisture control handling procedures during storage and assembly.

Electrical Equivalence: All electrical parameters including load voltage range, output current rating, on-resistance, fault protection features, and operating temperature range are identical across all three part numbers, confirming direct circuit-level compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BTS716GBXUMA1 or BTS716GXUMA1 be used as direct replacements for BTS716GT in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications, fault protection features, and package dimensions. No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between BTS716GBXUMA1 and BTS716GXUMA1?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference lies in the part number suffix, which indicates internal manufacturing or qualification variants from Infineon Technologies. Both maintain identical electrical performance and automotive qualification.

Q: Are there any differences in the 20-SOIC package between these parts?

A: No. All three parts use the identical 20-SOIC (0.295", 7.50mm Width) package with surface mount mounting type. PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) difference?

A: The BTS716GT specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited), while both substitute parts specify MSL 3 (168 Hours). MSL 3 requires that components be stored in controlled humidity conditions and used within 168 hours of package opening. Standard moisture control procedures during storage and assembly are required.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. All three parts maintain automotive-grade classification and AEC-Q100 qualification, confirming suitability for automotive circuit applications without additional qualification.

Q: Why is the BTS716GT discontinued?

A: The BTS716GT has been discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The active substitute parts BTS716GBXUMA1 and BTS716GXUMA1 provide continued access to this functional capability with ongoing manufacturer support.
