Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the PIC16LC710T-04E/SS is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Core Processor Architecture: PIC processor family
• Core Size: 8-Bit processing capability
• Program Memory Configuration: 896B (512 x 14) OTP memory
• RAM Capacity: 36 x 8 bytes
• Operating Speed: 4MHz clock frequency
• Supply Voltage Range: 2.5V ~ 6V compatibility
• I/O Count: 13 input/output pins
• Peripheral Set: Brown-out Detect/Reset, PWM, WDT functionality
• Package Type: 20-SSOP surface mount form factor
• Data Converter Specification: A/D 4x8b analog-to-digital conversion

The substitute part PIC16LC710-04I/SS maintains identical electrical specifications and pinout compatibility with the main part, with the primary distinction being product status and operating temperature range variance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PIC16LC710-04I/SS serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete PIC16LC710T-04E/SS. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, ensuring direct functional compatibility in 20-SSOP surface mount applications.

The PIC16LC710-04I/SS is classified as Active product status, providing ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete main part. Both devices carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

The operating temperature range difference (-40°C ~ 85°C for the substitute versus -40°C ~ 125°C for the main part) should be evaluated against specific application thermal requirements. Applications operating within the -40°C ~ 85°C range experience no functional limitation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are PIC16LC710T-04E/SS and PIC16LC710-04I/SS pin-compatible?

A: Yes. Both devices use the 20-SSOP package with identical pinout and electrical characteristics across all 13 I/O pins, ensuring direct socket compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main difference is product status. The PIC16LC710T-04E/SS is obsolete, while the PIC16LC710-04I/SS is active. The operating temperature range also differs: the substitute supports -40°C ~ 85°C versus -40°C ~ 125°C for the main part.

Q: Can the PIC16LC710-04I/SS replace the PIC16LC710T-04E/SS in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the application operates within the -40°C ~ 85°C temperature range. All electrical specifications, memory configuration, peripheral functionality, and package dimensions are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the PIC16LC710T-04E/SS and PIC16LC710-04I/SS are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What memory configuration do these microcontrollers support?

A: Both devices feature 896B of OTP program memory (512 x 14 organization) and 36 x 8 bytes of RAM, with no EEPROM storage.

Q: Are there any supply voltage considerations for substitution?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical 2.5V ~ 6V supply voltage range, requiring no circuit modifications for voltage regulation or biasing.
