Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IPS042GTR is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Topology & Configuration: 1:1 N-Channel low-side power switch with on/off interface
• Electrical Performance: Load voltage capability, output current rating, and on-resistance characteristics
• Package Compatibility: 8-SOIC form factor with identical pin pitch (0.154", 3.90mm width)
• Thermal & Environmental: Operating temperature range and fault protection features
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS and REACH status for production environments

The BTS3410GXUMA1 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching topology, package footprint, and superior electrical specifications that maintain backward compatibility with the IPS042GTR application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BTS3410GXUMA1 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete IPS042GTR based on the following factors:

Functional Equivalence: Both devices share identical topology (1:1 N-Channel low-side power switch), control interface (on/off), and thermal operating range (-40°C to 150°C). Pin-compatible 8-SOIC packaging ensures direct PCB replacement without layout modifications.

Performance Enhancement: The BTS3410GXUMA1 provides superior electrical specifications with 1.3A output current (2.45× the IPS042GTR), 42V load voltage rating (1.2× the IPS042GTR), and 150mOhm on-resistance (59% reduction). These improvements maintain full backward compatibility while reducing power dissipation in switching applications.

Regulatory Compliance: The BTS3410GXUMA1 achieves ROHS3 compliance and maintains REACH unaffected status, meeting current manufacturing and environmental standards. The IPS042GTR's RoHS non-compliant status makes the substitute necessary for new production and long-term supply chain sustainability.

Product Lifecycle: The BTS3410GXUMA1 holds active product status with established supply availability (1590 pcs in stock), whereas the IPS042GTR is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (65100 pcs). Active status ensures continued technical support, datasheets, and manufacturing consistency.

Additional Protection: The BTS3410GXUMA1 includes over-voltage fault protection in addition to current limiting and over-temperature protection, providing enhanced circuit reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BTS3410GXUMA1 directly replace the IPS042GTR without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both devices use identical 8-SOIC packaging with matching pin pitch (0.154", 3.90mm width) and pin configuration. No PCB layout changes are required for direct substitution.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: The BTS3410GXUMA1 exceeds the IPS042GTR specifications in all key parameters: output current (1.3A vs. 530mA), load voltage (42V vs. 35V), and on-resistance (150mOhm vs. 370mOhm). These improvements are fully backward compatible with applications designed for the IPS042GTR.

Q: What is the difference between the 8-SOIC and PG-DSO-8 package designations?

A: Both refer to the same physical 8-pin small-outline IC package with 0.154" width. The PG-DSO-8 designation is Infineon's internal package naming convention. The external dimensions and pin pitch are identical.

Q: Why is RoHS compliance important for this substitution?

A: RoHS3 compliance ensures the BTS3410GXUMA1 meets current environmental regulations for lead-free manufacturing and restricted substance limits. The IPS042GTR's non-compliant status makes it unsuitable for new production in regulated markets.

Q: Does the BTS3410GXUMA1 require different circuit design considerations?

A: No design changes are necessary. The BTS3410GXUMA1 maintains the same control interface (on/off), thermal characteristics (-40°C to 150°C), and fault protection strategy as the IPS042GTR. The enhanced specifications provide improved performance margins without requiring application redesign.

Q: What is the significance of the Auto Restart feature in the BTS3410GXUMA1?

A: Auto Restart enables the device to automatically recover from fault conditions after a timeout period, improving system reliability in applications subject to transient overcurrent or thermal events.

Q: Is the BTS3410GXUMA1 available in alternative packaging options?

A: The BTS3410GXUMA1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging formats. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification before ordering.
