Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CDCE949PWG4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Functional Type: PLL Clock Generator with bypass capability
  • Maximum Frequency: 230MHz
  • Input/Output Configuration: LVCMOS and Crystal input support; LVCMOS output
  • Frequency Ratio: 1:9 input-to-output ratio
  • Supply Voltage Range: 1.7V ~ 1.9V
  • Package: 24-TSSOP form factor
  • Thermal Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
  • Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, MSL Level 1

The CDCE949PW variant meets all these criteria and is classified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. The primary distinction is product status and packaging format.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CDCE949PW is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the CDCE949PWG4. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters. The CDCE949PW maintains active product status with verified availability, whereas the CDCE949PWG4 is discontinued.

Selection of the CDCE949PW is appropriate for new designs and replacement applications. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility. The primary operational difference is packaging format: the CDCE949PWG4 is supplied in tape and reel configuration, while the CDCE949PW is supplied in tube packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the CDCE949PWG4 and CDCE949PW pin-compatible?

A: Yes. Both parts use the identical 24-TSSOP package with matching pinout and electrical characteristics.

Q: Can the CDCE949PW be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CDCE949PW is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the CDCE949PWG4 across all specified parameters.

Q: What is the difference between the CDCE949PWG4 and CDCE949PW?
