Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CC-MX-L96C-Z1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Frequency Compatibility: 800MHz operation
• Mounting Configuration: Surface Mount module form factor
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Serial Interface Support: Ethernet connectivity
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected status

The CC-WMX-L97D-N qualifies as a substitute based on matching frequency (800MHz), identical mounting type (Surface Mount), compatible operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), expanded serial interface support (includes Ethernet plus additional interfaces), and equivalent regulatory compliance status. The substitute module operates within the same thermal and mechanical constraints while providing enhanced RF protocol support and increased memory capacity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CC-WMX-L97D-N is the designated substitute for the obsolete CC-MX-L96C-Z1. Both modules maintain RoHS Compliance and REACH Unaffected regulatory status, ensuring equivalent environmental and safety certification levels. The substitute operates within the identical thermal envelope (-40°C ~ 85°C) and maintains surface mount packaging compatibility.

The CC-WMX-L97D-N carries Active product status, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete CC-MX-L96C-Z1. The substitute module supports expanded serial interface options (GPIO, I2C, I2S, JTAG, PWM, SPI, UART, USB in addition to Ethernet) and increased memory capacity (8GB Flash, 1GB DDR3 versus 4GB Flash, 512MB RAM), enabling enhanced system functionality while maintaining core 800MHz frequency operation and surface mount form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CC-WMX-L97D-N directly replace the CC-MX-L96C-Z1 in existing designs?

A: The CC-WMX-L97D-N matches the critical substitution parameters: 800MHz frequency, surface mount configuration, -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range, Ethernet interface support, and equivalent regulatory compliance. Physical footprint and pinout compatibility must be verified against your specific PCB layout and connector specifications.

Q: What are the key differences between these modules?

A: The CC-WMX-L97D-N provides enhanced RF protocol support (Bluetooth and WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac with Bluetooth v5.0 versus General ISM < 1GHz), expanded serial interface options, and increased memory resources (8GB Flash, 1GB DDR3 versus 4GB Flash, 512MB RAM). Both modules operate at 800MHz with identical thermal specifications.

Q: Why is the CC-MX-L96C-Z1 obsolete?

A: The CC-MX-L96C-Z1 has reached end-of-life status. The CC-WMX-L97D-N represents the current active product line continuation within the Digi ConnectCore® 6 family, offering improved capabilities and assured supply availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these modules?

A: The CC-MX-L96C-Z1 is supplied in standard packaging, while the CC-WMX-L97D-N is supplied in Tray packaging. Both maintain module form factor and surface mount configuration. Verify packaging requirements for your assembly and logistics processes.

Q: Do both modules meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the CC-MX-L96C-Z1 and CC-WMX-L97D-N are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting equivalent environmental and safety certification standards.
