Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ICS853014BGLF are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Ratio - Input:Output: Must be 2:5
• Differential - Input:Output: Must be Yes/Yes
• Package / Case: Must be 20-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40mm Width)
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C ~ 85°C
• Frequency - Max: Must support 2 GHz or higher
• Voltage - Supply: Must support the 2.375V ~ 3.8V range or broader compatible range
• Input/Output Standards: Must support overlapping signal standards for circuit compatibility

The following parts meet these substitution criteria:

Parametric Equivalent (Same Manufacturer): 853S014AGILF (Renesas Electronics Corporation) — Active product status with identical electrical specifications and packaging.

Direct Manufacturer Equivalents: MC100LVEP14DTG (onsemi), SY100EP14UK4G (Microchip Technology), SY100EP14UK4G-TR (Microchip Technology) — Active products with compatible or superior frequency ratings and packaging.

Manufacturer Recommended Alternatives: MAX9315EUP+ and MAX9315EUP+T (Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated) — Active products with lower maximum frequency (1.5 GHz) but compatible package and operating parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: 853S014AGILF (Renesas Electronics Corporation)

The 853S014AGILF is the optimal substitute for the obsolete ICS853014BGLF. Both parts are manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation and share identical electrical specifications, input/output standards, frequency ratings, and packaging. The 853S014AGILF is in active production status with ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory compliance for new designs.

Secondary Recommendations:

SY100EP14UK4G and SY100EP14UK4G-TR (Microchip Technology) are qualified substitutes with equivalent 2 GHz frequency performance and superior supply voltage range (2.37V ~ 5.5V), providing additional design flexibility. Both variants are in active production with ROHS3 compliance. The SY100EP14UK4G-TR variant is packaged in Tape & Reel format for high-volume production environments.

MC100LVEP14DTG (onsemi) is a direct manufacturer equivalent with enhanced frequency capability (2.5 GHz), supporting applications requiring higher clock distribution speeds while maintaining full compatibility with the 20-TSSOP package and operating temperature range.

Alternative for Lower Frequency Applications:

MAX9315EUP+ and MAX9315EUP+T (Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated) are suitable for applications where the maximum frequency requirement is 1.5 GHz or lower. These parts maintain full package and operating temperature compatibility but offer a narrower frequency specification. The MAX9315EUP+T variant is packaged in Tape & Reel format.

All substitute parts maintain identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), REACH compliance status, and ECCN/HTSUS classifications as the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 853S014AGILF directly replace the ICS853014BGLF without circuit modifications?

A: Yes. The 853S014AGILF is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, input/output signal standards, frequency rating, supply voltage range, operating temperature range, and 20-TSSOP package format. No circuit modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the key difference between the SY100EP14UK4G and SY100EP14UK4G-TR variants?

A: Both parts are electrically identical with 2 GHz frequency capability. The primary difference is packaging format: SY100EP14UK4G is supplied in Tube packaging, while SY100EP14UK4G-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly in high-volume production environments.

Q: Why does the MC100LVEP14DTG have a higher maximum frequency (2.5 GHz) than the original ICS853014BGLF (2 GHz)?

A: The MC100LVEP14DTG is a higher-performance variant from onsemi that maintains full compatibility with the 2:5 distribution ratio, differential input/output configuration, and 20-TSSOP package while supporting enhanced frequency specifications. This part is suitable for applications requiring higher clock speeds while maintaining backward compatibility with existing designs.

Q: Are the MAX9315EUP+ and MAX9315EUP+T suitable for all applications using the ICS853014BGLF?

A: The MAX9315EUP+ and MAX9315EUP+T are suitable only for applications where the maximum clock frequency requirement is 1.5 GHz or lower. These parts maintain full package and operating temperature compatibility but have a reduced frequency specification compared to the original component. Applications requiring 2 GHz operation should use the 853S014AGILF, SY100EP14UK4G, or MC100LVEP14DTG instead.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts, including the original ICS853014BGLF, have an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All active substitute parts listed (853S014AGILF, MC100LVEP14DTG, SY100EP14UK4G, SY100EP14UK4G-TR, MAX9315EUP+, and MAX9315EUP+T) are certified ROHS3 compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for new product designs.

Q: What input and output signal standards does each substitute part support?

A: The 853S014AGILF, SY100EP14UK4G, and SY100EP14UK4G-TR support HSTL, LVECL, and LVPECL inputs with LVECL and LVPECL outputs. The MC100LVEP14DTG supports ECL, HSTL, LVDS, and PECL inputs with ECL and PECL outputs. The MAX9315EUP+ and MAX9315EUP+T support HSTL, LVECL, and LVPECL inputs with LVECL and LVPECL outputs. Verify signal standard compatibility with your specific application requirements before selection.
