Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ECS-8FMX-080-TR qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

• Frequency: 8 MHz (identical)
• Output Configuration: CMOS, TTL (identical)
• Supply Voltage: 5V (identical)
• Enable/Disable Function: Present (identical)
• Frequency Stability: ±200ppm (identical)
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C (identical)
• Package: 4-SOJ, 5.08mm pitch (identical)
• Current Supply (Max): 23mA (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)

The ECS-8FMX-080-TR represents an active production variant within the ECS oscillator family, differing only in series designation (ECS-8FX versus ECS-8F) and packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ECS-8FMX-080-TR is the direct active substitute for the obsolete ECS-8FM-080-TR. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring pin-compatible operation in existing circuit designs.

For new designs or production transitions, the ECS-8FMX-080-TR is preferred due to active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The substitute maintains the same 4-SOJ package footprint, frequency output characteristics, and supply current specifications, eliminating the need for PCB redesign or circuit modification.

The primary distinction is packaging format: the original part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, while the substitute is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume manufacturing operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ECS-8FMX-080-TR be used as a direct replacement for the ECS-8FM-080-TR?

A: Yes. All electrical parameters, output characteristics, frequency stability, operating temperature range, and package dimensions are identical. The parts are pin-compatible and functionally equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the ECS-8FM-080-TR and ECS-8FMX-080-TR?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), RoHS compliance (non-compliant versus ROHS3 compliant), and packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel). Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Does the substitute part require any circuit modifications?

A: No. The ECS-8FMX-080-TR maintains the same 4-SOJ package with 5.08mm pitch, identical pin configuration, and identical electrical specifications. No PCB layout changes or circuit design modifications are required.

Q: Is the ECS-8FMX-080-TR suitable for high-volume production?

A: Yes. The Tape & Reel packaging format is standard for automated assembly processes and high-volume manufacturing. The active product status ensures consistent availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance on the substitute part?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates adherence to current environmental and material restriction standards. For applications subject to regulatory requirements or customer specifications mandating RoHS compliance, the ECS-8FMX-080-TR meets these requirements while the original part does not.
