Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MA700GQ-Z is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Technology: Hall Effect sensor technology for angle measurement
• Actuator Type: External magnet configuration (not included with component)
• Mounting Type: Surface mount with SMD (SMT) Tab termination
• Package: 16-VFQFN Exposed Pad (16-QFN 3x3)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
• Supply Voltage Compatibility: 3V to 3.6V nominal operation
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The MA702GQ-Z qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both components share identical mechanical packaging, thermal operating range, compliance certifications, and moisture sensitivity ratings. The primary functional difference lies in output protocol and signal characteristics, which must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MA702GQ-Z is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete MA700GQ-Z. Both components maintain identical mechanical compatibility, thermal performance, and regulatory compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected).

The MA702GQ-Z offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The component is currently in stock with established distribution channels.

Selection of the MA702GQ-Z requires evaluation of output protocol compatibility. The MA700GQ-Z provides SPI output, while the MA702GQ-Z provides PWM output with programmable signal characteristics. Circuit design modifications may be necessary to accommodate this output protocol change. Supply voltage specification for the MA702GQ-Z is 3.3V nominal, which falls within the MA700GQ-Z operating range of 3V to 3.6V.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MA702GQ-Z directly replace the MA700GQ-Z without circuit modifications?

A: Both components share identical mechanical packaging (16-VFQFN), thermal operating range (-40°C to 125°C), and compliance certifications. However, the output protocols differ: MA700GQ-Z uses SPI while MA702GQ-Z uses PWM. Circuit interface modifications are required to accommodate this output change.

Q: Are there supply voltage compatibility concerns?

A: The MA700GQ-Z operates at 3V to 3.6V. The MA702GQ-Z is specified at 3.3V nominal. The MA702GQ-Z supply voltage falls within the MA700GQ-Z operating range, making it compatible with existing power supply designs.

Q: What is the significance of the "Programmable" output signal specification on the MA702GQ-Z?

A: The MA702GQ-Z PWM output includes programmable signal characteristics, providing flexibility in output configuration. This differs from the MA700GQ-Z SPI output, which has fixed protocol specifications.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity and handling requirements identical?

A: Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating identical moisture sensitivity levels and handling requirements throughout the supply chain.

Q: Does the MA702GQ-Z packaging differ from the MA700GQ-Z?

A: Both components use identical 16-VFQFN Exposed Pad packaging (16-QFN 3x3). PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: What is the inventory status difference between these parts?

A: The MA700GQ-Z is obsolete with 33,960 pieces in stock. The MA702GQ-Z is active with 2,100 pieces in stock, ensuring continued availability for new designs and production support.
