Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DS1672U-3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Interface Protocol: I2C, 2-Wire Serial (mandatory match)
  • Time and Date Format: Binary format (mandatory match)
  • Supply Voltage Range: 2.7V ~ 3.3V (mandatory match)
  • Battery Backup Voltage: 1.3V ~ 3.63V (mandatory match)
  • Timekeeping Current: 500µA @ 3.3V (mandatory match)
  • Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C (mandatory match)
  • Package Type: 8-TSSOP, 8-MSOP surface mount (mandatory match)
  • Functional Features: Trickle-Charger capability (mandatory match)

The DS1672U-3+ meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.
