DLP4710FQL Digital Micromirror Device Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DLP4710FQL is a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) manufactured by Texas Instruments in a 100-CLGA (24.5x11) surface mount package. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited availability in the market. The DLP4710FQL serves as a core imaging component in projection and display applications requiring digital light modulation technology.

Due to its obsolete status, sourcing replacement units from original inventory becomes increasingly difficult. Identifying equivalent substitute parts with matching electrical and mechanical specifications is essential for design continuity and system reliability in applications currently utilizing this component.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DLP4710FQL is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical & Functional Compatibility:

• Base Product Number: DLP4710
• Type: Digital Micromirror Device (DMD)
• Manufacturer: Texas Instruments

Mechanical & Package Compatibility:

• Package / Case: 100-BFCLGA Module
• Supplier Device Package: 100-CLGA (24.5x11)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

Regulatory & Compliance Alignment:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS Code: 8542.39.0001

The substitute part DLP4710AFQL shares identical specifications across all critical parameters, confirming direct functional and mechanical interchangeability. The primary distinction is product status: DLP4710AFQL maintains active production status, providing improved availability compared to the obsolete DLP4710FQL.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Redesigns: The DLP4710AFQL is the appropriate selection. This part maintains active production status with Texas Instruments, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability. Active product status eliminates obsolescence risk and supports extended production lifecycles.

For Existing System Maintenance: The DLP4710AFQL serves as the direct functional equivalent for systems currently utilizing the DLP4710FQL. Identical package geometry (100-CLGA 24.5x11), mounting type (surface mount), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99) confirm mechanical and electrical interchangeability without design modification.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. The EAR99 export classification applies uniformly across both variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DLP4710AFQL be used as a direct replacement for DLP4710FQL in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The DLP4710AFQL is electrically and mechanically identical to the DLP4710FQL. Both components share the same base product number (DLP4710), package specification (100-CLGA 24.5x11), and mounting configuration (surface mount). No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary advantage of selecting DLP4710AFQL over DLP4710FQL?

A: The DLP4710AFQL maintains active production status with Texas Instruments, whereas the DLP4710FQL is classified as obsolete. Active status ensures consistent availability, predictable lead times, and elimination of end-of-life supply constraints.

Q: Are there any package or footprint differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts utilize the identical 100-BFCLGA Module package with supplier device package specification of 100-CLGA (24.5x11). PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both DLP4710FQL and DLP4710AFQL are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8542.39.0001. Regulatory requirements are satisfied identically by both variants.

Q: What is the difference in Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) between the two parts?

A: The DLP4710FQL specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited), while the DLP4710AFQL lists MSL as Not Applicable. This difference does not affect substitution compatibility. Both parts are suitable for standard surface mount assembly processes and storage conditions.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between DLP4710FQL and DLP4710AFQL?

A: No electrical performance differences exist. Both parts are based on the identical DLP4710 base product number and share all functional specifications for Digital Micromirror Device operation.
