Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PI6C22409LIE is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Maximum frequency capability of 220MHz
• Input-to-output ratio of 1:9
• 16-TSSOP package form factor with identical physical dimensions
• Supply voltage range compatibility (minimum 2.3V, maximum 3.6V overlap)
• Operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C
• PLL with bypass functionality
• Single circuit configuration
• Non-differential input and output characteristics

The SL23EP09ZI-1T from Skyworks Solutions Inc. meets all substitution criteria within these defined parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SL23EP09ZI-1T is a direct functional substitute for the PI6C22409LIE based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The primary advantage of selecting the SL23EP09ZI-1T is its active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete PI6C22409LIE.

Both devices are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The supply voltage range of the SL23EP09ZI-1T (2.3V ~ 3.6V) encompasses the PI6C22409LIE specification (2.375V ~ 3.6V), confirming compatibility across standard operating conditions.

The MSL rating difference (MSL 1 versus MSL 2) reflects standard moisture sensitivity classifications and does not impact functional substitution when proper handling procedures are followed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SL23EP09ZI-1T directly replace the PI6C22409LIE in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both devices share identical frequency specifications (220MHz), input-to-output ratio (1:9), package form factor (16-TSSOP), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). The supply voltage ranges are compatible within the specified operating window.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The PI6C22409LIE is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The SL23EP09ZI-1T maintains active product status, ensuring reliable sourcing for current and future applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both devices use identical 16-TSSOP surface-mount packaging with 0.173" width and 4.40mm dimensions. The SL23EP09ZI-1T is supplied in Tape & Reel format, which is standard for high-volume production environments.

Q: How do the moisture sensitivity levels affect component handling?

A: The PI6C22409LIE carries MSL 1 (unlimited shelf life), while the SL23EP09ZI-1T carries MSL 2 (1-year shelf life). Both classifications are standard for surface-mount clock buffer ICs and require appropriate storage conditions per IPC standards.

Q: Are the input and output signal types compatible?

A: The PI6C22409LIE specifies TTL input and output. The SL23EP09ZI-1T specifies Clock input and LVCMOS output. Both configurations operate within compatible logic level standards for this frequency and voltage range, supporting direct substitution in clock distribution applications.
