Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPG2010TB-A is determined by the following critical parameters:

Circuit Configuration: Both the main part and substitute maintain SPDT topology and reflective switching architecture, ensuring functional compatibility at the circuit level.

Package Compatibility: The UPG2010TB-A and proposed substitute share the same package family designation (6-TSSOP / SC-88 / SOT-363), enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.

Frequency Coverage: The substitute part operates across 0 Hz to 3 GHz, which encompasses and exceeds the original 500 MHz to 2.5 GHz operating range. This extended upper frequency capability supports the primary application bands (Bluetooth and WLAN at 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz) with margin.

Impedance Matching: Both parts maintain 50Ω characteristic impedance, a standard requirement for RF signal integrity in switching applications.

Environmental Compliance: Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level) and share ECCN and HTSUS classification, ensuring equivalent handling and regulatory requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MASWSS0151TR-3000 is an equivalent substitute for the obsolete UPG2010TB-A based on the following technical and regulatory factors:

Product Status Alignment: The MASWSS0151TR-3000 maintains Active product status with ROHS3 Compliance certification, ensuring long-term component availability and manufacturing continuity compared to the Obsolete UPG2010TB-A.

Package and Footprint Compatibility: Both components share the 6-TSSOP / SC-88 / SOT-363 package designation, enabling direct PCB placement without design rework.

Functional Equivalence: The substitute part retains SPDT circuit topology with 50Ω impedance and MSL 1 rating, maintaining electrical and environmental compatibility.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts share EAR99 ECCN classification and equivalent HTSUS codes, presenting no additional export or handling restrictions for the substitute selection.

Frequency Performance: While the substitute operates at a higher test frequency (3 GHz versus 2.5 GHz), this represents an extension of capability rather than a limitation, as it encompasses all target application bands.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the UPG2010TB-A and MASWSS0151TR-3000 drop-in replacements?

A: Both components share the identical package designation (6-TSSOP / SC-88 / SOT-363) and SPDT circuit topology. PCB footprint compatibility is confirmed, requiring no layout modifications for substitution.

Q: How do the isolation and insertion loss characteristics compare?

A: The UPG2010TB-A provides 25 dB isolation with 0.35 dB insertion loss at 2.5 GHz. The MASWSS0151TR-3000 provides 21 dB isolation with 0.65 dB insertion loss at 3 GHz. The isolation difference of 4 dB reflects measurement at different test frequencies and should be evaluated in the context of the specific application's signal budget requirements.

Q: Does the operating temperature range difference impact compatibility?

A: The UPG2010TB-A operates from -45°C to 85°C, while the MASWSS0151TR-3000 operates from -40°C to 85°C. For applications requiring operation below -40°C, the UPG2010TB-A minimum specification cannot be matched. For all other applications, the substitute range is acceptable.

Q: Why is the MASWSS0151TR-3000 frequency range specified as 0 Hz to 3 GHz rather than a minimum like the UPG2010TB-A?

A: The extended lower frequency specification (0 Hz versus 500 MHz) indicates the substitute part's additional low-frequency capability. This provides greater flexibility for applications requiring sub-500 MHz operation without compromising the primary Bluetooth and WLAN frequency bands.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage supply specification difference?

A: The UPG2010TB-A specifies 2.7 V to 3 V supply voltage. The MASWSS0151TR-3000 does not specify this parameter in the provided data, indicating this characteristic should be verified in the complete device datasheet prior to integration for applications requiring specific voltage rail compatibility.

Q: Is the MASWSS0151TR-3000 RoHS compliant?

A: The MASWSS0151TR-3000 is ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current lead-free and hazardous substance restrictions for EU and equivalent regulatory markets.
