PCA9600DPZ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PCA9600DPZ is an active I2C bus buffer and redriver manufactured by NXP USA Inc. This interface component is designed to extend I2C bus communication over longer distances and through multiple loads by regenerating and retiming 2-wire bus signals. The device operates at a maximum data rate of 1MHz and is housed in an 8-TSSOP surface mount package.

The PCA9600DPZ maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications, mechanical compatibility, and functional equivalence within the I2C buffer and redriver category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PCA9600DPZ are identified through strict parametric matching across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must remain constant:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Data Rate (Max): 1MHz
• Number of Channels: 2
• Delay Time: 100ns
• Voltage - Supply: 2.5V ~ 15V
• Current - Supply: 5.5mA
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C (TA)
• Capacitance - Input: 10 pF
• Input/Output Configuration: 2-Wire Bus

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Package / Case: 8-TSSOP, 8-MSOP (0.118", 3.00mm Width)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

Compliance Equivalence Criteria:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)
• Product Status: Active

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct parametric equivalents and may be substituted without circuit redesign or board layout modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PCA9601DPZ is a direct parametric equivalent to the PCA9600DPZ. Both devices are manufactured by NXP USA Inc. and share identical electrical specifications, mechanical packaging, and compliance certifications.

Selection Basis:

Both parts maintain Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support. Both are ROHS3 compliant and carry unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), indicating robust handling characteristics suitable for standard manufacturing processes.

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format: the PCA9600DPZ is supplied in standard packaging, while the PCA9601DPZ is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This difference affects procurement and assembly processes but does not alter electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Selection between these equivalents should be based on procurement requirements, inventory availability, and packaging format compatibility with assembly operations. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in I2C buffer and redriver applications operating within the specified electrical and thermal parameters.
