Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C8051F930-G-GMR is the direct functional equivalent of the C8051F930-GMR. Selection between these parts is determined by availability and compliance requirements rather than technical performance:

  • C8051F930-G-GMR is the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing production. This part maintains active product status with confirmed availability in standard packaging formats (Cut Tape and Digi-Reel). The part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

  • C8051F930-GMR is classified as obsolete and should be replaced in active designs. Existing inventory may be available but represents a declining resource without manufacturer support.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, ensuring direct substitution without circuit modification or firmware changes.
