Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ICM7250IPE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Functional Type: Counter/Timer Circuit (CTC), Binary architecture
• Frequency Rating: 15MHz operation
• Supply Voltage Range: 2V ~ 16V compatibility
• Supply Current: 700 µA specification
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C ~ 85°C
• Package Configuration: 16-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) form factor
• Mounting Technology: Through-hole pin configuration
• Count Capability: 1 ~ 99 range

The ICM7250IPE+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications, functional performance, and physical packaging. The primary distinction lies in product status and compliance certifications rather than technical performance parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ICM7250IPE+ is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete ICM7250IPE. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility and functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

The ICM7250IPE+ offers the following advantages for new designs and production continuity:

• Active Product Status: The ICM7250IPE+ maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete ICM7250IPE.
• Regulatory Compliance: The ICM7250IPE+ achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components in most jurisdictions.
• Inventory Availability: 1073 pieces of ICM7250IPE+ are in new original stock, providing adequate supply for production requirements.

For applications currently using the ICM7250IPE, direct substitution with ICM7250IPE+ requires no circuit modifications, design changes, or re-qualification procedures due to complete electrical and mechanical equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ICM7250IPE+ be used as a direct replacement for the ICM7250IPE?

A: Yes. The ICM7250IPE+ is electrically and mechanically identical to the ICM7250IPE. Both components feature the same 15MHz frequency, 2V ~ 16V supply voltage range, 700 µA supply current, -20°C ~ 85°C operating temperature, and 16-DIP through-hole package. No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between the ICM7250IPE and ICM7250IPE+?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The ICM7250IPE is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the ICM7250IPE+ is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. Electrical performance and physical packaging are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching from ICM7250IPE to ICM7250IPE+?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts share identical pin configurations, electrical specifications, and functional performance. The 16-DIP through-hole package format is identical, and both operate within the same voltage, current, temperature, and frequency parameters.

Q: Why is the ICM7250IPE classified as obsolete?

A: The ICM7250IPE has been superseded by the ICM7250IPE+, which maintains identical functionality while offering improved regulatory compliance and active manufacturing support. Obsolete status indicates that the original part number is no longer in active production.

Q: What packaging options are available for these parts?

A: The ICM7250IPE is supplied in standard packaging, while the ICM7250IPE+ is supplied in tube packaging. Both maintain the same 16-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) physical form factor suitable for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.

Q: Is the ICM7250IPE+ suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. The ICM7250IPE+ is recommended for new designs due to its active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and assured long-term availability. The component meets current regulatory requirements and provides supply chain continuity.
