Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE0723-02 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Identical manufacturer (Trenz Electronic GmbH)
• Identical series designation (TE0723)
• Identical core processor architecture (ARM Cortex-A9)
• Identical co-processor (Zynq-7000 Z-7010)
• Identical processing speed (12MHz)
• Identical Flash memory capacity (16MB)
• Identical operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C)
• Identical regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• RAM size (128MB to 512MB): Increased memory capacity maintains backward compatibility
• Connector type (Arduino to B2B): Physical interface differences require mechanical evaluation
• Packaging format: Box packaging does not affect electrical functionality
• Product status: Active status preferred over discontinued

The TE0723-03 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical core processor, co-processor, speed, flash memory, temperature range, and compliance certifications. The primary difference is increased RAM capacity (512MB versus 128MB) and connector type modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE0723-03 as Primary Substitute:

The TE0723-03 maintains full electrical and functional compatibility with the TE0723-02 across all critical processor, memory, speed, and regulatory parameters. The TE0723-03 offers the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• Increased RAM capacity (512MB) provides enhanced memory headroom for complex applications without performance degradation
• Identical ROHS3 and REACH compliance certifications maintain regulatory alignment
• Identical thermal operating range (0°C to 70°C) supports equivalent environmental deployment

Connector Type Consideration:

The transition from Arduino connector (TE0723-02) to B2B connector (TE0723-03) requires mechanical interface redesign. This change does not affect electrical functionality but necessitates PCB layout and mechanical mounting modifications. System integrators must evaluate connector compatibility with existing carrier boards or develop appropriate adapter solutions.

Compliance and Certification:

Both modules maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory requirements are satisfied for industrial, commercial, and consumer applications within the specified operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE0723-03 directly replace TE0723-02 without any modifications?

A: Electrical and functional replacement is direct. However, the connector type change from Arduino to B2B requires mechanical interface redesign. PCB layout and mounting structures must be evaluated and potentially modified to accommodate the B2B connector configuration.

Q: What is the impact of increased RAM (512MB vs 128MB) on system performance?

A: Increased RAM capacity does not degrade performance. The TE0723-03 maintains identical processing speed (12MHz) and core processor architecture. Additional memory provides expanded application capacity without introducing latency or compatibility issues.

Q: Are both modules suitable for the same operating temperature environments?

A: Yes. Both TE0723-02 and TE0723-03 operate across identical temperature ranges (0°C to 70°C), ensuring equivalent thermal performance in equivalent environmental conditions.

Q: Does the connector type difference affect electrical signal integrity?

A: Connector type is a physical interface specification. Signal integrity depends on proper mechanical connection and PCB trace design. B2B connectors provide equivalent electrical performance to Arduino connectors when properly implemented in the carrier board design.

Q: Why is TE0723-02 discontinued while TE0723-03 remains active?

A: Product discontinuation decisions are manufacturer-driven and typically reflect market demand, production optimization, or product line consolidation. The TE0723-03 with increased RAM capacity represents the active product offering within the TE0723 series.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the two modules?

A: No. Both modules maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Regulatory certifications are equivalent across both part numbers.

Q: What is the MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) for TE0723-03?

A: TE0723-03 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating minimal moisture sensitivity and permitting standard handling and storage procedures without specialized desiccant packaging requirements.
