ICS501MT Clock Generator IC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ICS501MT is a Clock Generator IC manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, designed for 160MHz clock generation applications. It features a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) with programmable output ratios and operates across a 3V to 5.25V supply voltage range in an 8-SOIC surface mount package.

The ICS501MT is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure long-term component availability for production and field service applications.

• Input:Output ratio: 1:1
• Supply voltage range: 3V ~ 5.25V
• Operating temperature range: 0°C ~ 70°C
• Package type: 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount

The 501MLFT meets all electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution with the ICS501MT.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 501MLFT is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the ICS501MT. Both parts are manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation and share identical functional specifications across all critical parameters.

The 501MLFT offers the additional advantage of Active product status, ensuring continued availability and support. The 501MLFT also carries ROHS3 compliance, whereas the ICS501MT is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements for RoHS compliance and long-term component availability. The 501MLFT is suitable for new designs and applications requiring regulatory compliance. The ICS501MT may be retained for legacy systems where RoHS compliance is not a requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 501MLFT be used as a direct replacement for the ICS501MT?
