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.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PI7C9X760ACLEX is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete PI7C9X760ABLEX. Selection of the substitute part is supported by:

• Identical electrical specifications across all operating parameters
• Matching package form factor (24-TSSOP) ensuring PCB compatibility
• 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 PI7C9X760ABLEX is obsolete, while PI7C9X760ACLEX is active.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.
