THS7327PHPRG4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The THS7327PHPRG4 is a video amplifier buffer integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for rail-to-rail buffering applications. This device features three independent buffer circuits in a 48-pin HTQFP surface mount package with a -3dB bandwidth of 500 MHz and slew rate of 1150V/µs. The THS7327PHPRG4 is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the THS7327PHPRG4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: -3dB bandwidth (500 MHz), slew rate (1150V/µs), output type (rail-to-rail), number of circuits (3), supply current (118 mA), output current per channel (115 mA), and supply voltage range (2.7V ~ 5.5V) must remain identical.

Physical Specifications: Package type (48-PowerTQFP), supplier device package (48-HTQFP 7x7), and mounting type (surface mount) must be identical to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB designs.

Compliance & Regulatory: RoHS3 compliance, MSL rating (3), and REACH status must be maintained to satisfy manufacturing and environmental requirements.

The THS7327PHPRG4 differs from its substitute only in packaging format (tube versus tape & reel) and product status (discontinued versus active).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The THS7327PHPR serves as the direct substitute for the discontinued THS7327PHPRG4. Both parts are manufactured by Texas Instruments and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: the THS7327PHPRG4 is discontinued, while the THS7327PHPR remains in active production with significantly higher inventory availability (10,400 pieces versus 1,030 pieces).

From a compliance perspective, both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL rating of 3, and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for manufacturing and environmental standards.

The packaging format difference (tube for THS7327PHPRG4 versus tape & reel for THS7327PHPR) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Tape & reel packaging is standard for high-volume production and automated assembly processes.

Selection of the THS7327PHPR is appropriate for new designs, production restocking, and replacement of discontinued inventory. No design modifications or PCB layout changes are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the THS7327PHPRG4 and THS7327PHPR electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including -3dB bandwidth (500 MHz), slew rate (1150V/µs), supply current (118 mA), output current per channel (115 mA), and supply voltage range (2.7V ~ 5.5V).

Q: Can the THS7327PHPR be used as a direct replacement in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. The THS7327PHPR is mechanically and electrically compatible with the THS7327PHPRG4. Both use the 48-HTQFP (7x7) package with identical pin configurations and mounting requirements.

Q: What is the difference between tube and tape & reel packaging?

A: Tube packaging contains individual components in a plastic tube, suitable for manual assembly or small-quantity handling. Tape & reel packaging places components on a continuous tape wound on a reel, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Both formats contain identical components with no functional differences.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the THS7327PHPRG4 and THS7327PHPR maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL rating of 3 (168 hours), and REACH unaffected status.

Q: Why is the THS7327PHPRG4 discontinued?

A: Product discontinuation decisions are made by manufacturers based on market demand and production priorities. The THS7327PHPR remains the active equivalent and is the recommended selection for ongoing procurement.

Q: What is the inventory status of the THS7327PHPR?

A: The THS7327PHPR has 10,400 pieces in new original stock, providing adequate availability for production requirements.
