Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DSC-TIMEFLASH-KIT2 has one direct substitute: DSC-TIMEFLASH2-KIT2. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following parameters:

• Manufacturer: Microchip Technology (same manufacturer required)
• Series: TimeFlash (same product family)
• Type: Programming Kit (identical functional category)
• For Use With/Related Products: MEMS Oscillators (same application scope)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (equivalent compliance level)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (same MSL rating)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (equivalent regulatory status)

The substitute part maintains functional compatibility with TimeFlash MEMS oscillators and meets all regulatory and environmental compliance requirements of the original part.

Parameter Comparison
