PI6C41202LE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PI6C41202LE is a Clock Fanout Buffer (Distribution) Multiplexer IC manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, designed for 2:4 clock distribution at frequencies up to 266 MHz. This device accepts LVCMOS/LVTTL inputs and provides LVPECL outputs in a 20-TSSOP surface mount package.

The PI6C41202LE is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production requirements for systems utilizing this clock distribution topology.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PI6C41202LE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Functional Architecture: 2:4 clock distribution multiplexer with single circuit
• Signal Conversion: LVCMOS/LVTTL input to LVPECL output
• Frequency Capability: Maximum 266 MHz operation
• Supply Voltage Range: 3.135V ~ 3.465V
• Package Compatibility: 20-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40mm Width) surface mount
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1

The substitute part 8535AG-01LF (Renesas Electronics Corporation) meets all specified parameters identically, enabling direct functional and mechanical replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 8535AG-01LF from Renesas Electronics Corporation is a parametric equivalent to the PI6C41202LE. Both devices are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction is product status: the PI6C41202LE is obsolete, while the 8535AG-01LF is active. For new designs or ongoing production requiring clock distribution at 266 MHz with 2:4 multiplexing in a 20-TSSOP package, the 8535AG-01LF provides continued supply chain availability and manufacturer support.

Both parts satisfy identical compliance requirements (ROHS3, MSL 1, REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8535AG-01LF directly replace the PI6C41202LE in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 8535AG-01LF is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, logic levels, frequency capability, supply voltage range, operating temperature, and 20-TSSOP package dimensions. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the PI6C41202LE?

A: The PI6C41202LE is classified as obsolete. The 8535AG-01LF is an active product from Renesas Electronics Corporation, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?
