Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PI7C9X760ABLEX is based on strict functional and electrical equivalence. The primary substitute, PI7C9X760ACLEX, maintains identical core specifications across all critical parameters:

  • Protocol compatibility: I2C protocol support
  • Functional equivalence: Bridge, I2C/SPI to UART conversion
  • Interface type: UART output
  • Supply voltage range: 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V operation
  • Supply current: 6mA specification
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C
  • Package form factor: 24-TSSOP
  • Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The substitute part shares the same base product number (PI7C9X760), confirming core design equivalence. Packaging differs only in delivery format (Tape & Reel for the substitute versus standard packaging for the main part), which does not affect functional performance.

  • Active product status providing long-term availability and supply chain reliability
  • Equivalent regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)
  • Same base product architecture (PI7C9X760 series)

The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs and for new implementations requiring I2C/SPI to UART bridge functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PI7C9X760ACLEX be used as a direct replacement for PI7C9X760ABLEX?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, protocol support, functional capability, and package form factor. The substitute part is electrically and mechanically compatible for direct PCB substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. PI7C9X760ABLEX is obsolete, while PI7C9X760ACLEX is active. The substitute also uses Tape & Reel packaging format. Electrical and functional specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there any voltage or temperature rating differences?

A: No. Both parts operate across the same voltage range (1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V) and temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). Supply current specification is identical at 6mA.

Q: Does the packaging format affect compatibility?

A: Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus standard) affects only delivery and handling. The actual component package type (24-TSSOP) is identical, ensuring PCB footprint and pin compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both PI7C9X760ABLEX and PI7C9X760ACLEX are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting equivalent regulatory requirements.
