Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MCP2030T-I/ST is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Base Product Number: Both parts must share the MCP2030 base designation
• RF Type and Frequency: General Purpose operation at 125kHz is required
• Data Rate: 10kbps feature set must be maintained
• Package Compatibility: 14-TSSOP package with identical 0.173" (4.40mm) width specification
• Compliance Certifications: ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and MSL Level 1 rating must be equivalent

The MCP2030-I/ST qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MCP2030T-I/ST and MCP2030-I/ST are active products from Microchip Technology with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts may be based on packaging format availability: the main part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, while the substitute is available in Tube packaging. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for industrial and consumer applications. The identical MSL Level 1 rating indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MCP2030T-I/ST and MCP2030-I/ST electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share the MCP2030 base product number and are specified with identical RF type (General Purpose), frequency (125kHz), data rate (10kbps), and package configuration (14-TSSOP). All electrical parameters are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these substitute parts?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. The MCP2030T-I/ST is supplied in Cut Tape (CT), while the MCP2030-I/ST is supplied in Tube format. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use MCP2030-I/ST as a direct replacement for MCP2030T-I/ST in PCB assembly?

A: Yes. The 14-TSSOP package dimensions are identical (0.173" width, 4.40mm), and all electrical specifications match. The parts are pin-compatible and functionally equivalent.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the MCP2030T-I/ST and MCP2030-I/ST are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8542.39.0001.

Q: What does MSL Level 1 mean for these components?

A: MSL Level 1 indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity level, meaning these components have no moisture sensitivity constraints and do not require special storage or handling conditions related to moisture exposure.
