HIP4080AIB Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HIP4080AIB is a full bridge driver IC manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, designed for DC motor control and general-purpose applications. It integrates an N-channel MOSFET driver with bootstrap circuit functionality in a 20-SOIC surface mount package. The HIP4080AIB is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The HIP4080AIBZ provides a direct functional equivalent with active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The HIP4080AIBZ qualifies as a direct substitute for the HIP4080AIB based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Output configuration remains full bridge
• Peak output current specification of 2.6A is maintained
• Supply voltage range of 9.5V ~ 15V is preserved
• Load voltage range of 8V ~ 15V is preserved
• Operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 85°C is maintained
• Package type remains 20-SOIC surface mount
• Bootstrap circuit feature is retained
• Interface type (Logic, PWM) is unchanged
• Load type capability (Capacitive and Resistive) is preserved

The HIP4080AIBZ differs from the HIP4080AIB in product status (active vs. obsolete), packaging format (tube vs. unspecified), RoHS compliance level (ROHS3 vs. non-compliant), and moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 2 vs. MSL 1).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HIP4080AIBZ is the appropriate selection for new designs and production applications requiring a full bridge driver with the specified electrical characteristics. The HIP4080AIB is obsolete and should not be selected for new projects.

Selection between these parts is determined by compliance and regulatory requirements:

• For applications requiring ROHS3 compliance, the HIP4080AIBZ is mandatory.
• For applications with moisture-sensitive storage or handling constraints, the HIP4080AIB (MSL 1, unlimited shelf life) may have been preferred historically, but the HIP4080AIBZ (MSL 2, 1-year shelf life) is the active alternative and requires standard moisture control procedures.
• Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and share identical HTSUS codes, indicating equivalent export control and tariff treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HIP4080AIBZ directly replace the HIP4080AIB in existing designs?

A: Yes. The HIP4080AIBZ provides identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Both parts feature full bridge output configuration, 2.6A peak output current, 9.5V ~ 15V supply voltage range, 8V ~ 15V load voltage range, -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature, and 20-SOIC surface mount packaging. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference in RoHS compliance between these parts?

A: The HIP4080AIB is RoHS non-compliant. The HIP4080AIBZ is ROHS3 compliant. ROHS3 compliance is required for products sold in the European Union and many other regulated markets. If your application or supply chain requires RoHS compliance, the HIP4080AIBZ is the required selection.

Q: Are there packaging differences between HIP4080AIB and HIP4080AIBZ?

A: The HIP4080AIBZ is supplied in tube packaging, while the HIP4080AIB packaging format is unspecified. Both use identical 20-SOIC surface mount package geometry. Tube packaging is standard for active production parts and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What does the MSL rating difference mean for handling and storage?

A: The HIP4080AIB has MSL 1 (unlimited shelf life), while the HIP4080AIBZ has MSL 2 (1-year shelf life). MSL 2 requires standard moisture control during storage and handling. The HIP4080AIBZ must be stored in moisture-controlled conditions and used within one year of the manufacturing date. This is standard practice for active production components.

Q: Why is the HIP4080AIB listed as obsolete?

A: The HIP4080AIB has reached end-of-life status. Renesas Electronics Corporation has transitioned production to the HIP4080AIBZ, which offers improved compliance certifications and active product support. For new designs and ongoing production, the HIP4080AIBZ should be specified.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Peak output current (2.6A), supply voltage range (9.5V ~ 15V), load voltage range (8V ~ 15V), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), and all functional features (full bridge output, bootstrap circuit, PWM interface) are identical. Both parts are suitable for DC motor control and general-purpose applications.
