PCI9656-BA66BI Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PCI9656-BA66BI is a specialized interface IC manufactured by Broadcom Limited, designed for PCI interface applications in a 272-BGA (27x27) surface mount package. This component operates at dual supply voltages of 3.3V and 5V, making it suitable for legacy and mixed-voltage PCI systems.

The PCI9656-BA66BI carries an Obsolete product status, indicating it is no longer in active production. Finding equivalent or substitute parts is necessary for system maintenance, repair, and legacy system support where original components are no longer readily available or have depleted inventory.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PCI9656-BA66BI is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Interface Type: PCI interface compatibility
• Package Configuration: 272-BGA (27x27) surface mount package
• Voltage Supply: Dual 3.3V and 5V operation capability
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount assembly compatibility
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 3 (168 Hours) handling requirements

The substitute part PCI9656-BA66BI G meets all these criteria. It is manufactured by the same supplier (Broadcom Limited), maintains identical electrical specifications, and uses the same physical package footprint. The primary distinction is the product status change from Obsolete to Active, indicating continued manufacturing and availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PCI9656-BA66BI G is the direct substitute for the obsolete PCI9656-BA66BI. Selection is based on the following engineering factors:

• Product Status: The substitute transitions from Obsolete to Active status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.
• Compliance Certifications: The PCI9656-BA66BI G maintains RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
• Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: Identical voltage specifications, package footprint, and mounting technology ensure direct replacement without circuit redesign.
• Export Classification: Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS codes, maintaining consistent regulatory treatment.

For applications currently using the PCI9656-BA66BI, transition to the PCI9656-BA66BI G is supported by full parameter alignment and active manufacturing status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PCI9656-BA66BI G be used as a direct replacement for the PCI9656-BA66BI?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Broadcom Limited with identical electrical specifications, package configuration (272-BGA 27x27), voltage supply (3.3V, 5V), and mounting technology. The primary difference is product status; the substitute is actively manufactured.

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

A: Active status indicates the PCI9656-BA66BI G is currently in production with established supply chains. This ensures component availability for new procurements, repairs, and system maintenance without the supply constraints associated with obsolete parts.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The PCI9656-BA66BI G includes explicit RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certifications. Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, maintaining consistent export and regulatory treatment.

Q: Does the MSL rating affect substitution eligibility?

A: No. Both parts carry identical MSL 3 (168 Hours) ratings, meaning they require the same moisture control and handling procedures during assembly and storage.

Q: Is the 272-BGA (27x27) package footprint identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the same 272-BGA (27x27) surface mount package, ensuring PCB layout compatibility without modification.
