GS9064ACTDE3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GS9064ACTDE3 is a video cable equalizer IC manufactured by Semtech Corporation, designed for professional video applications compliant with SMPTE standards. This component operates as a serial-controlled equalizer in a 16-SOIC surface mount package. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GS9064ACTDE3 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Functional Equivalence: Both parts must perform the equalizer function for professional video applications
• Standards Compliance: SMPTE standard compliance is required
• Control Interface: Serial control capability must be maintained
• Supply Voltage Range: Operating voltage must fall within 3.135V ~ 3.465V
• Mounting Type: Surface mount technology is required
• Manufacturer Consistency: Semtech Corporation maintains design continuity and support

The GS2994-INTE3Z qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on these parameters. While the package format differs (16-QFN versus 16-SOIC), both components share identical functional specifications, voltage requirements, control methodology, and application domain.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GS2994-INTE3Z is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete GS9064ACTDE3. Both components maintain identical functional specifications and voltage operating parameters required for SMPTE-compliant professional video applications.

The GS2994-INTE3Z offers improved product lifecycle status (Active versus Obsolete), enhanced moisture sensitivity characteristics (MSL 1 versus MSL 3), and upgraded RoHS compliance certification (ROHS3 versus RoHS). The transition from 16-SOIC to 16-VQFN package format requires PCB layout modification but does not affect electrical functionality or performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GS2994-INTE3Z directly replace the GS9064ACTDE3 without design changes?

A: Electrical and functional compatibility is complete. PCB layout modification is required due to package format change from 16-SOIC to 16-VQFN. Pin assignment and signal routing must be verified against manufacturer datasheets.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are package format (SOIC versus VQFN), product lifecycle status (Obsolete versus Active), and moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 3 versus MSL 1). Functional specifications, voltage requirements, and control interfaces are identical.

Q: Is the GS2994-INTE3Z suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. The GS2994-INTE3Z is classified as Active and is the manufacturer-recommended solution for professional video equalizer applications requiring SMPTE compliance and serial control.

Q: What is the impact of the different package types?

A: The 16-VQFN package has a smaller footprint than the 16-SOIC package. PCB design, thermal management, and assembly processes must be evaluated for the specific application. Both packages are surface mount technologies.

Q: Are there any compliance differences?

A: The GS2994-INTE3Z carries ROHS3 certification compared to RoHS compliance for the GS9064ACTDE3. Both parts meet environmental and regulatory requirements for professional video equipment.
