CS4245-CQZ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CS4245-CQZ is a stereo audio codec interface manufactured by Cirrus Logic Inc., designed for 24-bit serial audio applications with dual ADC/DAC channels. This component operates across analog and digital supply voltages of 3.13V to 5.25V and is housed in a 48-LQFP surface mount package. The CS4245-CQZ is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for new designs and production continuity. The primary substitute is the CS4245K-CQZ, which maintains core electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The CS4245K-CQZ qualifies as a direct substitute for the CS4245-CQZ based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

  • Identical 24-bit resolution and 2/2 ADC/DAC channel configuration
  • Matching dynamic range specification of 104 dB for both ADC and DAC
  • Identical serial data interface architecture
  • Equivalent analog and digital supply voltage ranges (3.13V ~ 5.25V)
  • Identical operating temperature range (-10°C ~ 70°C)

Mechanical Compatibility:

  • Identical 48-LQFP (7x7) package and surface mount configuration
  • Matching MSL rating of 3 (168 Hours)

Regulatory Compliance:

  • Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance
  • Both parts are REACH unaffected
  • Both parts carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications

The substitution is valid because all allowed electrical parameters, mechanical specifications, and regulatory certifications are equivalent between the two parts.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CS4245K-CQZ is the qualified substitute for the CS4245-CQZ. Selection criteria are based on the following factors:

Product Status: The CS4245-CQZ is obsolete, while the CS4245K-CQZ maintains active product status. This distinction is critical for long-term supply chain reliability and design continuity.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and matching ECCN/HTSUS classifications, ensuring no regulatory barriers to substitution.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All specified electrical parameters, including resolution, channel configuration, dynamic range, supply voltage ranges, and operating temperature, are identical. The 48-LQFP package and surface mount configuration are mechanically equivalent, with matching MSL ratings.

Supply Chain Availability: The CS4245K-CQZ is available in active inventory, making it the appropriate choice for new production and design updates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CS4245K-CQZ be used as a direct replacement for the CS4245-CQZ in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CS4245K-CQZ is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the CS4245-CQZ across all specified parameters. No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Are there differences in audio performance between the two parts?

A: Both parts specify identical dynamic range (104 dB for ADC and DAC) and resolution (24 bits). The S/N ratio specifications differ between the parts, but this parameter was not provided for the CS4245-CQZ, so no performance comparison can be made on this basis.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The CS4245-CQZ is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited future availability. The CS4245K-CQZ is active, ensuring ongoing supply and support from the manufacturer.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 48-LQFP (7x7) surface mount package with identical footprint and pin configuration.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts carry an MSL rating of 3 (168 Hours), requiring identical handling and storage protocols.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.
