Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SI2163-D-GMR is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Control Interface: Must support I2C protocol for system integration compatibility
• Package / Case: Must be 36-VFQFN Exposed Pad to ensure PCB layout and thermal management compatibility
• Supplier Device Package: Must be 36-QFN (5x6) for mechanical fit and pin assignment alignment
• Function: Must perform video demodulation with equivalent signal processing capability
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount for assembly process compatibility

The SI2165-D-GMR meets all substitution criteria as an active product from the same manufacturer with identical package specifications and control interface requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SI2165-D-GMR is the direct substitute for the SI2163-D-GMR based on product lifecycle and compliance status. The SI2163-D-GMR is obsolete, while the SI2165-D-GMR maintains active product status from the same manufacturer. Both components share identical package specifications (36-VFQFN Exposed Pad, 36-QFN 5x6), mounting type (Surface Mount), and primary control interface (I2C). The SI2165-D-GMR provides improved moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 2 versus MSL 3) and specified supply voltage range (1.14V ~ 3.6V), supporting broader design flexibility. The SI2165-D-GMR includes additional serial interface capability alongside I2C, maintaining backward compatibility while offering extended functionality. Both components carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8542.39.0001) classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SI2165-D-GMR directly replace the SI2163-D-GMR in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components use identical 36-VFQFN Exposed Pad packaging and 36-QFN (5x6) supplier device packages. Pin assignments and I2C interface compatibility ensure direct substitution without PCB layout modifications.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating difference between these parts?

A: The SI2163-D-GMR has MSL 3 (168 hours maximum floor life), while the SI2165-D-GMR has MSL 2 (1 year floor life). MSL 2 provides extended handling and storage windows, reducing moisture-related failures during manufacturing and assembly processes.

Q: Does the SI2165-D-GMR's additional serial interface affect compatibility?

A: No. The SI2165-D-GMR supports both I2C and serial interfaces. Systems designed for I2C operation will function identically; the serial interface is an additional capability that does not interfere with I2C-based implementations.

Q: Are there supply voltage considerations for substitution?

A: The SI2165-D-GMR specifies 1.14V ~ 3.6V supply voltage range. Designs using the SI2163-D-GMR must verify their supply voltage falls within this range. The SI2163-D-GMR supply voltage was not specified in available documentation.

Q: What is the inventory status for these components?

A: The SI2163-D-GMR has 3929 pieces in stock (obsolete status). The SI2165-D-GMR has 18535 pieces in stock (active status), providing superior long-term availability for new production and ongoing support.
