Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the THCV236-Q is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Data Rate: 4Gbps (exact match)
• Input Type: V-by-One®HS (exact match)
• Output Type: CMOS/TTL (exact match)
• Number of Inputs: 1 (exact match)
• Number of Outputs: 1 (exact match)
• Voltage Supply Range: 1.7V ~ 3.6V (exact match)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C (exact match)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Package Type: 64-VFQFN Exposed Pad (exact match)
• Physical Dimensions: 9x9mm (exact match)

Compliance & Certification Requirements:

• Grade: Automotive
• Qualification: AEC-Q100
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 3 (168 Hours)

Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical form factor, and automotive-grade certifications. Variations in packaging format (Tray vs. other configurations) do not affect functional substitutability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

THCV236-B Substitutability Assessment:

The THCV236-B manufactured by THine Solutions, Inc. demonstrates full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the THCV236-Q across all specified parameters: identical 4Gbps data rate, V-by-One®HS input interface, CMOS/TTL output, single input/output configuration, supply voltage range, and operating temperature range. Both devices utilize the same 64-VFQFN Exposed Pad package with 9x9mm dimensions.

Both parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance with identical MSL ratings. The THCV236-B is available in Tray packaging format, which differs from the THCV236-Q but does not affect functional compatibility in circuit applications.

Inventory Consideration:

The THCV236-Q maintains higher inventory availability (2933 units) compared to the THCV236-B (892 units). Selection between these parts should consider supply chain requirements and lead time constraints.

Compliance Note:

Grade and AEC-Q100 qualification specifications are not explicitly provided for the THCV236-B in the available data. Confirmation of automotive-grade certification should be obtained from THine Solutions, Inc. prior to deployment in automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can THCV236-B replace THCV236-Q in existing circuit designs?

A: The THCV236-B is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the THCV236-Q. Both devices share identical data rate (4Gbps), input/output types (V-by-One®HS to CMOS/TTL), supply voltage range (1.7V ~ 3.6V), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), and package form factor (64-VFQFN 9x9mm). Direct substitution is supported from an electrical and mechanical standpoint.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The THCV236-Q packaging format is not specified in the provided data. The THCV236-B is supplied in Tray packaging. Both parts use the same 64-VFQFN Exposed Pad package type with 9x9mm dimensions. Packaging format differences do not affect PCB assembly compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these deserializers?

A: Both the THCV236-Q and THCV236-B carry an MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) rating of 3 with a 168-hour floor life. This rating applies to surface-mount assembly processes and requires standard moisture control procedures during storage and handling.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The THCV236-Q is specified as Automotive grade with AEC-Q100 qualification. The THCV236-B automotive-grade status and AEC-Q100 qualification are not explicitly stated in the provided specifications. Confirmation of automotive qualification for the THCV236-B should be obtained from the manufacturer before use in automotive applications.

Q: What is the base product number for these parts?

A: Both the THCV236-Q and THCV236-B share the base product number THCV236. The suffix designations (-Q and -B) indicate manufacturer or packaging variants while maintaining core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: How do the supply voltage ranges compare?

A: Both deserializers operate across an identical supply voltage range of 1.7V to 3.6V, ensuring compatibility with standard 3.3V and lower-voltage logic systems.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these devices?

A: Both the THCV236-Q and THCV236-B operate across the temperature range of -40°C to 105°C (TA), meeting automotive and industrial temperature requirements.
