• Package Type: 16-TSSOP with matching 0.173" width and 4.40mm dimensions
• Protocol Support: RS232 and RS485 capability
• Interface Compatibility: I2C, SPI, and UART support
• Supply Voltage Range: 2.5V and 3.3V operation
• Supply Current: 6mA specification
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 95°C range
• Compliance: RoHS3 and REACH status alignment
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 rating

The SC16IS740IPW,128 and SC16IS740IPW/Q900 share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, differing only in manufacturing lot designation and inventory source. Both parts are manufactured by NXP USA Inc. and maintain active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SC16IS740IPW,128 and SC16IS740IPW/Q900 are qualified for direct substitution in applications requiring single UART interface control with RS232/RS485 protocol support. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain requirements rather than functional differences. Both parts maintain active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, ensuring regulatory compliance across industrial and commercial applications. The unlimited MSL rating (MSL 1) permits extended storage without moisture bake-out requirements prior to assembly.
