For designs currently using the USB3316C-GJ-TR, transition to the USB3317C-GJ-TR is recommended to ensure continued component availability and manufacturing support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the USB3317C-GJ-TR be used as a direct replacement for the USB3316C-GJ-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical package geometry (25-VFBGA), pin assignments, operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), and USB 2.0 protocol implementation. No PCB modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the USB3316C-GJ-TR?

A: The USB3316C-GJ-TR is classified as obsolete. The USB3317C-GJ-TR is the active product continuation within the flexPWR™ transceiver family, providing long-term availability and manufacturing support.

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

A: No. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying identical regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The USB3316C-GJ-TR is supplied in standard packaging, while the USB3317C-GJ-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both use the 25-BGA (3x3) package configuration with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Is the supply voltage specification relevant for substitution?

A: The USB3317C-GJ-TR specifies a supply voltage range of 1.6V ~ 3.6V. The USB3316C-GJ-TR does not provide this specification in available documentation. Designs should reference the USB3317C-GJ-TR datasheet to confirm voltage compatibility with existing power supply configurations.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: Both parts specify MSL 3 (168 Hours), indicating identical moisture handling and storage requirements during manufacturing and assembly processes.
