DS90CF386MTD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DS90CF386MTD is a specialized interface IC manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) receiver applications. This component operates within the 3V to 3.6V supply voltage range and is housed in a 56-TSSOP package. The part is currently in Last Time Buy status, indicating that original inventory from Texas Instruments is limited and will not be replenished. This status necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives to ensure continued availability for production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DS90CF386MTD is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Voltage Supply Range: 3V ~ 3.6V (exact match required)
• Package Type: 56-TFSOP (0.240", 6.10mm Width) / 56-TSSOP (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Interface Category: Specialized Interface IC (functional equivalence required)
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99 (compliance alignment required)

The DS90CF386MTD/NOPB qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, identical package specifications, and equivalent regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DS90CF386MTD/NOPB is a direct functional equivalent suitable for replacement applications. Selection between the main part and substitute should be based on the following factors:

• Availability: The DS90CF386MTD is in Last Time Buy status with limited inventory (18,393 pcs). The DS90CF386MTD/NOPB is in Active status with current inventory (1,250 pcs), providing ongoing supply assurance.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification, ensuring regulatory alignment in all applications.
• Packaging: Both parts are supplied in 56-TSSOP configuration with identical physical dimensions (56-TFSOP, 0.240", 6.10mm Width), ensuring PCB layout compatibility without redesign.
• Electrical Specifications: Identical supply voltage range (3V ~ 3.6V) and interface category confirm functional interchangeability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DS90CF386MTD/NOPB be used as a direct replacement for DS90CF386MTD?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (3V ~ 3.6V supply voltage), package configuration (56-TSSOP), and mounting type (Surface Mount). The "/NOPB" suffix indicates lead-free (No Lead) and halogen-free packaging, which is compliant with ROHS3 requirements. No circuit modifications or PCB redesign is required.

Q: What does the Last Time Buy status mean for DS90CF386MTD?

A: Last Time Buy indicates that Texas Instruments will not manufacture additional quantities of this part beyond current inventory. Once existing stock is depleted, the part will be discontinued. The DS90CF386MTD/NOPB, which is in Active status, should be considered for new designs and long-term production requirements.

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

A: No. Both parts use the 56-TFSOP package with identical physical dimensions (0.240", 6.10mm Width) and are supplied as 56-TSSOP. Pinout and footprint compatibility is confirmed, allowing direct PCB substitution.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both DS90CF386MTD and DS90CF386MTD/NOPB are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export purposes. They share identical HTSUS classification (8542.39.0001), ensuring compliance alignment across all regulatory frameworks.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: The DS90CF386MTD has an MSL rating of 2 (1 Year), indicating standard moisture sensitivity. Proper storage and handling procedures should be followed to maintain component reliability.
