PI7C9X2G612GPCNJEX Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PI7C9X2G612GPCNJEX is a specialized interface IC manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, designed for packet switching applications with 6-port/12-lane configuration. This component operates as a PCI Express interface device in a 196-LBGA (15x15) package format. The part maintains Active product status with 1410 units currently in stock inventory.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary component experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design requirements permit functional equivalents that meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications. The XIO2213BZAJ represents an alternative interface solution, though with different interface protocol and package dimensions.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PI7C9X2G612GPCNJEX is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Package Type & Dimensions: Surface mount BGA packages with compatible ball grid array configurations
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount capability for PCB integration
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH compliance status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 3 rating for handling and storage requirements
• Interface Category: Specialized interface IC classification

The XIO2213BZAJ qualifies as a substitute based on shared compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected), identical MSL rating, and surface mount technology. However, this substitute operates under different interface protocol (IEEE 1394 versus PCI Express) and utilizes a smaller 168-NFBGA (7x7) package format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Component (PI7C9X2G612GPCNJEX): Maintains Active product status with established supply availability. Recommended for new designs and applications requiring PCI Express packet switching functionality with 6-port/12-lane configuration.

Substitute Component (XIO2213BZAJ): Carries Last Time Buy status, indicating discontinued production with limited future availability. This component operates under IEEE 1394 interface protocol rather than PCI Express, making it suitable only for applications where protocol compatibility permits functional substitution. The smaller package footprint (168-NFBGA versus 196-LBGA) requires PCB layout redesign.

Selection between these components must account for interface protocol requirements, as PCI Express and IEEE 1394 serve different application domains. Both components meet identical regulatory compliance and moisture sensitivity requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XIO2213BZAJ directly replace PI7C9X2G612GPCNJEX on existing PCBs?

A: No. The XIO2213BZAJ uses a 168-NFBGA (7x7) package versus the 196-LBGA (15x15) package of the primary component. PCB layout and footprint redesign is required. Additionally, the interface protocols differ (IEEE 1394 versus PCI Express), requiring firmware and driver modifications.

Q: What does Last Time Buy status mean for the XIO2213BZAJ?

A: Last Time Buy indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. Existing inventory (1700 units) represents the final available supply. Once depleted, this component will no longer be available for procurement.

Q: Are both components suitable for new product designs?

A: The PI7C9X2G612GPCNJEX is appropriate for new designs due to Active status and ongoing availability. The XIO2213BZAJ should not be selected for new designs given its Last Time Buy status and limited remaining inventory.

Q: Do both components meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry identical MSL 3 (168 Hours) ratings. Packaging format differs (Tape & Reel versus Tray), which may affect handling and storage procedures.

Q: What are the voltage supply requirements for these components?

A: The PI7C9X2G612GPCNJEX does not specify voltage supply parameters in the provided data. The XIO2213BZAJ operates at 1.5V and 3.3V supply voltages.
