REF5010IDGKT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The REF5010IDGKT is a series voltage reference integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, classified as a Power Management (PMIC) component. This device provides a fixed 10V output with ±0.05% tolerance and is designed for precision voltage reference applications requiring low noise and stable output across industrial temperature ranges. The part is currently in active production status with 1242 units available in cut tape packaging. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format changes or inventory constraints necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical performance and compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The REF5010IDGKR is identified as a parametric equivalent to the REF5010IDGKT. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Reference Type: Series
• Output Type: Fixed
• Voltage - Output: 10V
• Current - Output: 10 mA
• Tolerance: ±0.05%
• Temperature Coefficient: 3 ppm/°C
• Noise - 0.1Hz to 10Hz: 30 µVpp/V
• Voltage - Input Range: 10.2V ~ 18V
• Current - Supply: 1.2 mA
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 125°C (TA)

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: 8-TSSOP, 8-MSOP (0.118", 3.00mm Width)
• Supplier Device Package: 8-VSSOP

Compliance & Status (Must Match Exactly):

• Manufacturer: Texas Instruments
• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2 (1 Year)

The only difference between the main part and substitute is the packaging format: REF5010IDGKT is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format, while REF5010IDGKR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both formats are standard surface mount delivery methods with no impact on component functionality or performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both REF5010IDGKT and REF5010IDGKR are active production components from Texas Instruments with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply requirements:

REF5010IDGKT (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®): Use when cut tape format is required for manual placement, small-volume assembly, or specific handling procedures. Current inventory: 1242 units.

REF5010IDGKR (Tape & Reel): Use for high-volume automated assembly processes where tape and reel format is standard. Current inventory: 16837 units.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings. No functional or performance differences exist between the two packaging formats. Component selection should be based on assembly process requirements and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can REF5010IDGKR be used as a direct replacement for REF5010IDGKT?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: cut tape versus tape and reel. If your assembly process accommodates tape and reel format, REF5010IDGKR is a direct substitute.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging?

A: Cut Tape format provides individual component strips suitable for manual or semi-automated placement. Tape & Reel format supplies components on continuous reels optimized for high-speed automated pick-and-place equipment. Both formats contain the same component in the same 8-VSSOP package.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both REF5010IDGKT and REF5010IDGKR carry identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH status, and Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings. They are functionally equivalent for all regulatory and environmental requirements.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that define substitution eligibility for the REF5010 series?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match exactly: 10V fixed output, ±0.05% tolerance, 10 mA output current, 3 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 10.2V to 18V input range, and -40°C to 125°C operating temperature. Any deviation in these parameters disqualifies a part as a substitute.

Q: Can I mix REF5010IDGKT and REF5010IDGKR in the same production batch?

A: Yes. Since both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, they can be used interchangeably within the same circuit design and assembly process. Packaging format differences do not affect circuit performance or reliability.
