ICL7116CPL Display Driver 4.6 Digit Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ICL7116CPL is a display driver IC designed for 4.6-digit applications, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This component operates on a single 9V supply and is housed in a 40-pin DIP package for through-hole mounting. The ICL7116CPL is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and production continuity. Active alternatives from both the original manufacturer and qualified second sources are available with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ICL7116CPL are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

• Resolution (4.6 Digit): All substitutes maintain identical display resolution capability
• Voltage Supply (9V Single Supply): All substitutes operate on the same single 9V supply voltage
• Operating Temperature Range (0°C to 70°C): All substitutes support the identical temperature operating window
• Package Type (40-DIP, 0.600", 15.24mm): All substitutes use the same physical package with identical pin count and spacing
• Mounting Type (Through Hole): All substitutes maintain through-hole mounting compatibility
• Number of Channels (1): All substitutes provide single-channel functionality

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct manufacturer equivalents from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, and manufacturer-recommended alternatives from Microchip Technology. All qualified substitutes meet or exceed the electrical and mechanical requirements of the original ICL7116CPL.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: ICL7116CPL+

The ICL7116CPL+ is the direct equivalent from the original manufacturer, Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This part maintains 100% electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete ICL7116CPL while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection of ICL7116CPL+ eliminates any potential compatibility concerns and provides manufacturer support for ongoing production.

Secondary Recommendation: TC7116ACPL or TC7116CPL

The TC7116ACPL and TC7116CPL from Microchip Technology are manufacturer-recommended alternatives that meet all electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance. These options provide qualified second-source availability and are suitable for designs requiring multi-source component strategies.

All three substitute parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99, maintaining the same regulatory status as the original ICL7116CPL.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ICL7116CPL+ be used as a direct replacement for ICL7116CPL?

A: Yes. The ICL7116CPL+ is electrically and mechanically identical to the ICL7116CPL. Both parts share the same 9V supply voltage, 4.6-digit resolution, 40-DIP package, and 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range. The primary difference is product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and RoHS compliance.

Q: Are Microchip TC7116 parts compatible with the original Analog Devices ICL7116CPL?

A: Yes. The TC7116ACPL and TC7116CPL meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 9V single supply, 4.6-digit resolution, 40-DIP package, through-hole mounting, and 0°C to 70°C operating temperature. These parts are manufacturer-recommended alternatives.

Q: What is the difference between ICL7116CPL+ and TC7116ACPL?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent and meet identical electrical specifications. The primary differences are manufacturer (Analog Devices vs. Microchip) and packaging format (Tube for both). Selection between these parts depends on supply chain availability and design team preference for single-source vs. multi-source strategies.

Q: Does the 40-DIP package remain the same across all substitute parts?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the 40-DIP package with 0.600" (15.24mm) spacing, ensuring identical PCB footprint and through-hole mounting compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The ICL7116CPL+ and both Microchip TC7116 parts are ROHS3 compliant. The original ICL7116CPL is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, use ICL7116CPL+, TC7116ACPL, or TC7116CPL.
