Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ENS160-BGLT serves as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the CCS801. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Functional Category: Both components are air quality sensors manufactured by ScioSense, establishing the primary functional equivalence.

Compliance & Regulatory Status: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory continuity in applications requiring these certifications.

Moisture Sensitivity: Both components share MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating identical moisture handling requirements during storage and assembly.

Supply Voltage Compatibility: The CCS801 operates at 1.5V to 3.3V, while the ENS160-BGLT operates at 1.71V to 1.98V. The ENS160-BGLT supply range falls within the upper portion of the CCS801 range, permitting substitution in systems designed for the higher voltage threshold.

Output Interface Difference: The primary technical distinction is output protocol. The CCS801 provides voltage output, while the ENS160-BGLT provides I2C and SPI digital interfaces. System integration requires interface conversion or redesign.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ENS160-BGLT is the active, manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete CCS801. Both components maintain identical regulatory compliance status (RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected) and moisture sensitivity classification.

The ENS160-BGLT provides extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -5°C to 50°C), offering broader environmental applicability. The substitute component is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability.

Supply voltage compatibility exists within the specified operating ranges. The ENS160-BGLT operates at 1.71V to 1.98V, which aligns with the upper voltage threshold of the CCS801 specification (1.5V to 3.3V).

The primary design consideration is output interface transition. The CCS801 provides analog voltage output, while the ENS160-BGLT provides digital I2C and SPI interfaces. System integration requires appropriate signal conditioning or microcontroller interface modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ENS160-BGLT directly replace the CCS801 without circuit modification?

A: Direct pin-for-pin replacement is not possible due to output interface differences. The CCS801 provides voltage output, while the ENS160-BGLT provides I2C and SPI digital interfaces. Circuit redesign is required to accommodate the digital interface.

Q: Are the supply voltage ranges compatible?

A: The ENS160-BGLT supply voltage range (1.71V to 1.98V) falls within the CCS801 specification (1.5V to 3.3V). Systems designed for the CCS801 operating at voltages within the ENS160-BGLT range can proceed with substitution, provided interface conversion is implemented.

Q: What is the temperature operating range difference?

A: The CCS801 operates from -5°C to 50°C, while the ENS160-BGLT operates from -40°C to 85°C. The ENS160-BGLT provides extended low-temperature and high-temperature capability, suitable for broader environmental applications.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the CCS801 and ENS160-BGLT are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining regulatory compliance for applications requiring these certifications.

Q: What packaging is available for the ENS160-BGLT?

A: The ENS160-BGLT is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, standard for automated assembly processes.

Q: Why is the CCS801 listed as obsolete?

A: The CCS801 has reached end-of-life status. The ENS160-BGLT represents the active product line continuation from ScioSense for air quality sensing applications.
