TL712CPWRE4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TL712CPWRE4 is a single differential comparator IC manufactured by Texas Instruments, housed in an 8-TSSOP surface mount package. This device features complementary, push-pull, tri-state TTL output configuration and operates from a 4.75V to 5.25V single supply voltage. The TL712CPWRE4 is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TL712CPWRE4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Comparator Type: Single differential comparator architecture
• Output Configuration: Complementary, push-pull, tri-state TTL output
• Supply Voltage Range: 4.75V to 5.25V single supply operation
• Package Type: 8-TSSOP surface mount package with identical 0.173" (4.40mm) width
• Electrical Performance: Propagation delay maximum of 25ns, hysteresis of 5mV, quiescent current maximum of 20mA
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, MSL Level 1, REACH unaffected status

The TL712CPWR represents the direct substitute, sharing identical electrical specifications and package configuration while differing only in packaging format (tape and reel versus individual packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TL712CPWR is the direct functional equivalent of the TL712CPWRE4. Both devices share identical electrical specifications, package geometry, and compliance certifications. The primary distinction is product status: the TL712CPWRE4 is discontinued, while the TL712CPWR maintains active status with significantly higher inventory availability (6300 pieces versus 675 pieces).

For new designs or production continuity, the TL712CPWR is the appropriate selection. The tape and reel packaging format of the TL712CPWR is standard for high-volume manufacturing and automated assembly processes. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TL712CPWR directly replace the TL712CPWRE4 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The TL712CPWR is electrically and mechanically identical to the TL712CPWRE4. Both devices feature the same 8-TSSOP package footprint, supply voltage range, output configuration, and performance characteristics. The only difference is packaging format and product availability status.

Q: What is the difference between the TL712CPWRE4 and TL712CPWR packaging?

A: The TL712CPWRE4 uses individual packaging, while the TL712CPWR is supplied in tape and reel (TR) format. Tape and reel packaging is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly and high-volume production. Both formats contain the same die and are functionally equivalent.

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

A: No. Both the TL712CPWRE4 and TL712CPWR maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, REACH unaffected status, and ECCN classification. They are fully interchangeable from a regulatory and environmental standpoint.

Q: Why is the TL712CPWRE4 discontinued?

A: The TL712CPWRE4 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The TL712CPWR remains in active production and is the recommended part for ongoing procurement and new designs.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: differential comparator architecture, complementary push-pull tri-state TTL output, 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage, 8-TSSOP package configuration, 25ns maximum propagation delay, 5mV hysteresis, and 20mA maximum quiescent current. Any deviation in these parameters indicates incompatibility.
