Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MTQ-LVW3-B01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• RF Protocol & Frequency Bands: 4G LTE CAT-1 support for 700MHz, 850MHz, 1.7GHz, and 1.9GHz
• Network Compatibility: AT&T and T-Mobile cellular networks
• Serial Interface Support: I2C, SPI, UART, and USB connectivity
• Antenna Connector: U.FL chassis mount configuration
• Power Supply: 5V operation
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C
• Package Type: Module form factor

The MTQ-LVW3-B01.R2 meets all these criteria as a direct manufacturer revision, maintaining identical RF performance, protocol support, and interface specifications while offering improved availability and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MTQ-LVW3-B01.R2 is the direct substitute for the obsolete MTQ-LVW3-B01. Both parts are manufactured by Multi-Tech Systems Inc. and maintain identical RF performance, protocol support, frequency band coverage, and interface specifications. The MTQ-LVW3-B01.R2 offers the advantage of active product status with confirmed ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. Current consumption is marginally reduced in the MTQ-LVW3-B01.R2 (57mA versus 58mA), representing a negligible operational difference. For new designs and replacement applications, the MTQ-LVW3-B01.R2 is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MTQ-LVW3-B01.R2 directly replace the MTQ-LVW3-B01 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical RF protocols, frequency bands, serial interfaces, antenna connectors, power supply requirements, and operating temperature ranges. The MTQ-LVW3-B01.R2 is a direct manufacturer revision with no design modifications required.

Q: What is the difference in current consumption between these parts?

A: The MTQ-LVW3-B01.R2 operates at 57mA for both receive and transmit modes, compared to 58mA for the MTQ-LVW3-B01. This 1mA reduction is operationally insignificant for most applications.

Q: Does the MTQ-LVW3-B01.R2 support the same frequency bands?

A: Yes. Both parts operate identically across 700MHz, 850MHz, 1.7GHz, and 1.9GHz frequency bands for AT&T and T-Mobile networks.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The MTQ-LVW3-B01 is supplied in standard packaging, while the MTQ-LVW3-B01.R2 is supplied in tray packaging. Both maintain the same module form factor and U.FL chassis mount configuration.

Q: Is the MTQ-LVW3-B01.R2 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MTQ-LVW3-B01.R2 is ROHS3 compliant. RoHS status for the original MTQ-LVW3-B01 is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Are the serial interfaces identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts support I2C, SPI, UART, and USB serial interfaces without modification.
