Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TC1301A-PGAVMFTR are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Manufacturer and Base Product Number: Same manufacturer (Microchip Technology) and base product series (TC1301) ensure design compatibility and datasheet alignment
• Output Configuration and Type: Positive fixed output with dual regulators (2 outputs) delivering 300mA and 150mA
• Voltage Specifications: Input maximum of 6V and fixed output voltages of 1.8V, 2.7V, and 2.63V
• Current Delivery: Output currents of 300mA and 150mA with quiescent current of 180 µA
• Electrical Performance: Voltage dropout of 0.25V @ 150mA and PSRR of 58dB (100Hz)
• Control and Protection: Enable and Reset control features with Over Current and Over Temperature protection
• Package and Mounting: 8-VDFN Exposed Pad surface mount package
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating

The primary difference between the main part and substitute is the packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) versus Tube. This distinction affects supply chain logistics and handling but does not alter electrical performance or functional capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TC1301A-PGAVMFTR and TC1301A-PGAVMF are active production devices from Microchip Technology with identical electrical specifications and regulatory certifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements rather than technical performance.

The TC1301A-PGAVMFTR in Tape & Reel packaging is suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where continuous reel feeding optimizes production throughput. The TC1301A-PGAVMF in Tube packaging accommodates lower-volume production runs, manual assembly processes, or applications where component handling and storage flexibility is prioritized.

Both parts maintain full RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing processes and long-term storage without moisture sensitivity constraints. Selection should align with your assembly equipment capabilities and procurement volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TC1301A-PGAVMFTR and TC1301A-PGAVMF electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts deliver identical electrical performance with matching output configurations, voltage specifications, current ratings, and control features. The only difference is the packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Tube.

Q: Can I substitute TC1301A-PGAVMF for TC1301A-PGAVMFTR in my design?

A: Yes. The substitute part is functionally equivalent and can be used interchangeably from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. The 8-VDFN Exposed Pad package and surface mount characteristics are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly with continuous component feeding. Tube packaging is used for manual assembly, lower-volume production, or applications requiring individual component handling. The choice depends on your manufacturing process, not on circuit performance.

Q: Do both parts have the same regulatory compliance?

A: Yes. Both TC1301A-PGAVMFTR and TC1301A-PGAVMF are RoHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that define substitution for this regulator?

A: Substitution is based on matching dual positive fixed outputs (300mA and 150mA), input voltage maximum of 6V, fixed output voltages of 1.8V, 2.7V, and 2.63V, voltage dropout of 0.25V @ 150mA, and identical control and protection features (Enable, Reset, Over Current, Over Temperature protection).

Q: Can I use these parts in applications requiring different output voltages?

A: No. These regulators are fixed-output devices with specific voltage options (1.8V, 2.7V, 2.63V). They are not adjustable and cannot be configured for alternative output voltages.
