CDCI6214RGER Clock Generator IC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CDCI6214RGER is a Clock Generator IC manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for timing and clock distribution applications. This device generates up to 250MHz output frequencies with integrated Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) and bypass functionality. The part is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it has reached end-of-life status. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary for ongoing production support, maintenance applications, and inventory management where this component remains in active use.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CDCI6214RGER is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Maximum frequency capability: 250MHz
• Number of independent circuits: 2
• Input signal types: LVCMOS and Crystal support
• Output signal types: LVCMOS, LVDS, and HCSL support
• Input-to-output ratio: 1:5
• Differential signal support: Both input and output
• PLL with bypass functionality
• Supply voltage range: 1.71V ~ 3.465V
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Physical package: 24-VFQFN Exposed Pad (4x4mm)
• Surface mount configuration
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3, REACH Unaffected

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes. Packaging format differences (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CDCI6214RGER and CDCI6214RGET are classified as "Not For New Designs" by Texas Instruments. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and supply requirements rather than electrical performance, as they are parametric equivalents.

The CDCI6214RGER is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations. The CDCI6214RGET is supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel format, appropriate for lower-volume applications or mixed component sourcing scenarios.

Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, physical dimensions, and regulatory compliance certifications. Interchangeability is confirmed across all functional parameters. Selection should prioritize component availability and packaging compatibility with existing procurement and assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CDCI6214RGER and CDCI6214RGET electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share the same base product number (CDCI6214) and are parametric equivalents. All electrical specifications, including frequency range, voltage supply, input/output types, and operating temperature, are identical.

Q: What is the difference between these substitute parts?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. CDCI6214RGER is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while CDCI6214RGET is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel format. The physical component and electrical performance remain unchanged.

Q: Can I use CDCI6214RGET as a direct replacement for CDCI6214RGER in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts use the identical 24-VFQFN Exposed Pad package (4x4mm) with surface mount configuration. PCB layout, footprint, and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 2, 1 Year) is the same for both variants.

Q: Why is this product marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This classification indicates the CDCI6214 series has reached end-of-life status at Texas Instruments. Existing inventory remains available for production support and maintenance applications, but new design adoption is not recommended.

Q: What supply voltage range does this clock generator support?

A: The CDCI6214RGER and CDCI6214RGET both operate across a supply voltage range of 1.71V to 3.465V, supporting both low-voltage and standard logic applications.

Q: What is the maximum output frequency?

A: Both parts generate clock signals up to 250MHz with a 1:5 input-to-output frequency ratio and integrated PLL with bypass capability.
