PCA9848PWZ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PCA9848PWZ is a dual 8:1 bus switch logic IC manufactured by NXP USA Inc., housed in a 24-TSSOP surface mount package. This component functions as a multiplexer for digital signal routing across two independent 8:1 switching circuits. The PCA9848PWZ carries an obsolete product status, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PCA9848PWZ is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: 2 x 8:1 dual bus switch topology
• Package Type: 24-TSSOP surface mount package with identical 0.173" (4.40mm) width
• Voltage Supply: Dual supply operation within 0.8V ~ 3.6V and 1.65V ~ 3.6V ranges
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C range
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification

The PCA9848PWJ meets all substitution criteria as an active equivalent part from the same manufacturer and base product series (PCA9848).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PCA9848PWJ is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete PCA9848PWZ. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, package geometry, and compliance certifications. The PCA9848PWJ maintains active product status with NXP USA Inc., ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. The transition from PCA9848PWZ to PCA9848PWJ requires no circuit redesign, as all functional and mechanical parameters remain equivalent. The primary distinction is packaging format: the PCA9848PWJ is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® configurations, providing flexible procurement options for production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PCA9848PWJ be used as a direct replacement for the PCA9848PWZ?

A: Yes. The PCA9848PWJ is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and compliance standards. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the PCA9848PWZ and PCA9848PWJ?

A: The primary difference is product status and packaging format. The PCA9848PWZ is obsolete, while the PCA9848PWJ is active. The PCA9848PWJ is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats, whereas the PCA9848PWZ packaging format is not specified in available data.

Q: Are both parts compatible with the same PCB layout?

A: Yes. Both parts use the identical 24-TSSOP package with 0.173" (4.40mm) width, ensuring footprint compatibility without PCB redesign.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the PCA9848PWZ and PCA9848PWJ are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 under ECCN regulations.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these parts?

A: Both parts operate across -40°C to 85°C, suitable for industrial and commercial temperature environments.

Q: Are there any supply chain advantages to using the PCA9848PWJ?

A: Yes. The PCA9848PWJ maintains active product status with higher inventory availability (2666 pieces in stock versus 889 pieces for the obsolete PCA9848PWZ), providing improved procurement reliability and lead time certainty.
