Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PI7C9X760ABLE is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Functional equivalence: Bridge function converting I2C/SPI protocol to UART interface
• Protocol support: I2C protocol compatibility
• Package compatibility: 24-TSSOP form factor
• Electrical specifications: Supply voltage range (1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V), supply current (6mA), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The PI7C9X760ACLEX meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent from the same manufacturer, sharing the base product number PI7C9X760 and maintaining functional and electrical parameter compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PI7C9X760ACLEX is the direct substitute for the obsolete PI7C9X760ABLE. Both components share identical functional specifications, protocol support, and regulatory compliance status. The PI7C9X760ACLEX maintains active product status with current manufacturing availability, ensuring long-term supply chain viability.

Key considerations for selection:

• Product Status: The PI7C9X760ACLEX is actively manufactured, whereas the PI7C9X760ABLE is obsolete
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
• Packaging Format: The PI7C9X760ACLEX is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes
• Moisture Sensitivity: The PI7C9X760ACLEX has MSL 3 (168 Hours) compared to MSL 1 (Unlimited) for the original part, requiring appropriate handling during storage and assembly

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PI7C9X760ACLEX directly replace the PI7C9X760ABLE in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share the same base product number (PI7C9X760), identical functional specifications for I2C/SPI to UART bridging, matching supply voltage ranges (1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V), and equivalent operating temperature specifications (-40°C ~ 85°C).

Q: What is the difference in Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) between these parts?

A: The PI7C9X760ABLE has MSL 1 (Unlimited shelf life), while the PI7C9X760ACLEX has MSL 3 (168 hours of moisture exposure tolerance). This requires adherence to standard moisture control procedures during storage and assembly for the substitute part.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the PI7C9X760ABLE and PI7C9X760ACLEX are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The PI7C9X760ABLE is supplied in bulk packaging, while the PI7C9X760ACLEX is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format for automated assembly operations.

Q: Why is the original part listed as obsolete?

A: The PI7C9X760ABLE has reached end-of-life status. The PI7C9X760ACLEX represents the current active production equivalent from Diodes Incorporated, ensuring continued availability and support.
