GS1572-IBE3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GS1572-IBE3 is a video cable driver IC manufactured by Semtech Corporation, designed for professional video applications compliant with SMPTE standards. The device features logic-level control interface and operates across dual supply voltage ranges (1.71V–1.89V and 3.13V–3.47V). The product is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components for continued system design and maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GS1572-IBE3 is based on the following critical parameters:

• Package compatibility: 100-LBGA (11x11) form factor
• Mounting type: Surface mount
• Manufacturer ecosystem: Semtech Corporation
• Application domain: Professional video
• Standards compliance: SMPTE-based video processing
• Supply voltage range overlap or compatibility
• RoHS and environmental compliance status

The GS2962-IBE3 qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on identical package geometry, matching mounting technology, shared SMPTE standard compliance, and active product status within the Semtech professional video IC portfolio.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GS2962-IBE3 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete GS1572-IBE3. Selection is justified on the following basis:

• Identical physical package (100-LBGA 11x11) ensures PCB layout compatibility without redesign
• Matching surface mount technology and MSL rating (3, 168 Hours) maintain assembly process compatibility
• Both devices operate within professional video application domain with SMPTE standard compliance
• GS2962-IBE3 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and availability
• Supply voltage range of GS2962-IBE3 (1.8V–3.3V) encompasses the primary operating range of the original part
• ROHS3 compliance of the substitute exceeds the RoHS compliance of the original, meeting current regulatory requirements
• Identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications confirm export and trade compliance alignment

Functional differences exist: GS1572-IBE3 operates as a logic-controlled driver, while GS2962-IBE3 functions as a serial-controlled transmitter with extended standards support (DVB-ASI in addition to SMPTE). System integration requires validation of control interface compatibility and protocol requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GS2962-IBE3 be used as a direct pin-for-pin replacement for GS1572-IBE3?

A: Both devices share identical 100-LBGA (11x11) package geometry and surface mount configuration, enabling physical and electrical PCB compatibility. However, functional differences exist: GS1572-IBE3 uses logic-level control while GS2962-IBE3 uses serial control. System integration requires validation of control interface requirements and protocol compatibility.

Q: What is the voltage supply compatibility between these parts?

A: GS1572-IBE3 operates at 1.71V–1.89V and 3.13V–3.47V. GS2962-IBE3 operates at 1.8V–3.3V. The 3.3V nominal supply voltage range overlaps both parts. Designs operating at the extremes of GS1572-IBE3 specifications (1.71V or 3.47V) require verification against GS2962-IBE3 datasheet limits.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts use 100-LBGA (11x11) package with surface mount technology. GS1572-IBE3 packaging is unspecified in available data. GS2962-IBE3 is supplied in tray packaging. No physical form factor differences exist.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to substitution?

A: GS1572-IBE3 is RoHS Compliant. GS2962-IBE3 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected. Both share identical ECCN (5A991B1) and HTSUS (8542.39.0001) classifications. The substitute meets or exceeds regulatory requirements of the original part.

Q: Why is GS1572-IBE3 classified as obsolete?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer discontinuation. GS2962-IBE3 represents the active equivalent within Semtech's professional video IC portfolio, ensuring continued design support and component availability.
