Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute microcontrollers for PIC16CE625T-04E/SS are selected strictly based on matching core processor type, core size, program memory architecture and size, operating voltage, supply package, mounting type, and compliance certifications. Only parts with identical or directly compatible specifications in these categories are considered appropriate substitutes. The substitute part PIC16CE625-04I/SS meets these parameters, differing only in operating temperature and packaging method.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The main part, PIC16CE625T-04E/SS, has an obsolete product status. Its substitute, PIC16CE625-04I/SS, is active and shares identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1, ECCN EAR99). Selection should prioritize continued component availability and maintained compliance with the original specified standards. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring surface-mount packaging and similar supply voltage ranges, within their respective temperature ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the critical parameters when substituting the PIC16CE625T-04E/SS microcontroller?
A1: Substitution is determined by core processor type, core size, speed, program memory size and type, EEPROM and RAM size, operating voltage, oscillator type, mounting type, package dimensions, and compliance certifications.

Q2: Is the substitute part PIN-compatible and mechanically identical?
A2: Yes. The substitute PIC16CE625-04I/SS uses the same 20-SSOP (0.209", 5.30mm Width) package and mounting type, with consistent pin configuration.

Q3: How does the operating temperature range impact selection?
A3: The main part supports -40°C ~ 125°C (TA), while the substitute supports -40°C ~ 85°C (TA). Ensure the application environment conforms to the substitute’s allowable operating temperature.

Q4: Are there differences in compliance or regulatory status between the main and substitute parts?
A4: Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, with MSL 1 (Unlimited), and ECCN EAR99.

Q5: Does the change from Tape & Reel to Tube packaging affect usage?
A5: Both packaging types supply the component in 20-SSOP form for surface mount assembly. Selection of packaging should align with specific assembly process requirements.
