Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the PE64908MLAA-Z is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

  • Identical function as a digitally tunable capacitor
  • Matching frequency range of 100MHz to 3GHz
  • General-purpose RF type classification
  • SPI interface requirement
  • Identical package specification: 10-UFQFN with exposed pad
  • Surface mount mounting type
  • Equivalent moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)
  • Same manufacturer (pSemi) and series designation (UltraCMOS®, DuNE™)

The PE64906B-Z meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support.
