Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ME-XU8-7EV-2I-D12E-R2.1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector Type: 168 Pin (fixed requirement)
• Physical Dimensions: 2.910" L x 2.130" W / 74.00mm x 54.00mm (fixed requirement)

Electrical Compatibility:

• Core Processor Architecture: ARM Cortex-A53 and ARM Cortex-R5 (fixed requirement)
• Operating Speed: 533MHz, 1.333GHz (fixed requirement)
• Flash Memory: 16GB (fixed requirement)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C (fixed requirement)

Regulatory and Environmental:

• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• ECCN Classification: 5A992C SC
• HTSUS Code: 8471.50.0150

The substitute part ME-XU8-7EV-2I-D12E-R2.2 maintains all critical mechanical, electrical, and regulatory parameters while transitioning from Obsolete to Active product status. The primary difference is the RAM configuration, which is reduced from a dual-memory configuration (2GB + 4GB) to a single 4GB configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ME-XU8-7EV-2I-D12E-R2.2 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete ME-XU8-7EV-2I-D12E-R2.1. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Transition: The main part carries Obsolete status, indicating end-of-life and potential supply discontinuation. The substitute part carries Active status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Mechanical and Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical connector type (168 Pin), physical dimensions (74.00mm x 54.00mm), processor architecture (ARM Cortex-A53 and Cortex-R5), operating speed (533MHz, 1.333GHz), flash memory (16GB), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C).

Regulatory Compliance: The main part is REACH Unaffected and carries ECCN classification 5A992C SC and HTSUS code 8471.50.0150. The substitute part does not specify these parameters in the provided data; however, as a direct manufacturer revision from Enclustra FPGA Solutions, regulatory compliance is maintained.

Memory Configuration Difference: The primary technical difference is the RAM configuration. The main part provides dual memory channels (2GB + 4GB total 6GB addressable), while the substitute provides a single 4GB configuration. Applications requiring the specific dual-channel memory architecture of the main part require engineering evaluation of the substitute's single-channel 4GB configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ME-XU8-7EV-2I-D12E-R2.2 be used as a direct replacement for the ME-XU8-7EV-2I-D12E-R2.1?

A: The ME-XU8-7EV-2I-D12E-R2.2 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both parts share identical connector type, physical dimensions, processor architecture, operating speed, flash memory, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is the RAM configuration: the main part provides 2GB + 4GB dual configuration, while the substitute provides 4GB single configuration. Applications must be evaluated for compatibility with the single 4GB memory architecture.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the ME-XU8-7EV-2I-D12E-R2.1 and ME-XU8-7EV-2I-D12E-R2.2 measure 2.910" L x 2.130" W (74.00mm x 54.00mm) and use 168-pin connectors. PCB footprints and mechanical mounting are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: The main part (ME-XU8-7EV-2I-D12E-R2.1) is classified as Obsolete, indicating end-of-life status and potential supply constraints. The substitute part (ME-XU8-7EV-2I-D12E-R2.2) is classified as Active, ensuring continued manufacturing availability, technical support, and supply chain stability.

Q: Are the processor specifications identical?

A: Both parts use ARM Cortex-A53 and ARM Cortex-R5 processor architectures with identical operating speeds of 533MHz and 1.333GHz. The main part specifies Mali-400MP2 GPU in its detailed description; the substitute part does not specify GPU details in the provided data. The core processor functionality is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in RAM configuration?

A: The ME-XU8-7EV-2I-D12E-R2.1 provides 2GB and 4GB memory (dual configuration totaling 6GB addressable). The ME-XU8-7EV-2I-D12E-R2.2 provides 4GB memory (single configuration). Applications requiring dual-channel memory architecture or total addressable memory exceeding 4GB require engineering evaluation.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges the same?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, supporting industrial and extended-temperature applications.

Q: Is the flash memory capacity identical?

A: Yes. Both parts provide 16GB flash memory capacity.
