USB5916CT/KD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The USB5916CT/KD is an active USB Hub Controller manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed to manage USB 2.0 and USB 3.1 protocol communication with integrated I2C, SMBus, SPI, and UART interfaces. This component operates across dual voltage supply ranges (1.08V–1.32V and 3V–3.6V) and is packaged in a 100-VQFN form factor with exposed pad. The part maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. Equivalent substitute parts are identified when they share identical electrical specifications, interface protocols, package geometry, and compliance certifications, enabling direct replacement in circuit designs without functional degradation.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the USB5916CT/KD are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Identical voltage supply ranges (1.08V–1.32V and 3V–3.6V), matching operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C), and identical protocol support (USB 2.0, USB 3.1).

Interface Equivalence: Identical interface types (I2C, SMBus, SPI, UART) enabling direct functional replacement in host systems.

Package Equivalence: Identical package geometry (100-VFQFN Exposed Pad, 12x12mm) and pin count ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility on printed circuit boards.

Compliance Equivalence: Matching RoHS3 compliance status, REACH unaffected designation, and Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 3, 168 Hours) confirming equivalent environmental and regulatory standing.

Manufacturer Consistency: All substitute parts are manufactured by Microchip Technology, maintaining design lineage and quality assurance standards.

The identified substitutes (USB5906CT/KD and USB5926CT/KD) differ only in packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel) and base product numbering, with no electrical or functional differentiation from the primary part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—USB5916CT/KD, USB5906CT/KD, and USB5926CT/KD—maintain active product status with identical electrical specifications, interface protocols, and compliance certifications. Selection between these parts is determined by supply chain requirements and packaging format availability rather than functional capability.

USB5916CT/KD is suitable for applications requiring Cut Tape packaging with 3,151 units currently in stock.

USB5906CT/KD provides equivalent functionality with dual packaging options (Cut Tape and Digi-Reel®) and higher inventory availability (5,100 units in stock).

USB5926CT/KD is specified for applications requiring Tape & Reel format with 5,046 units in stock.

All parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected requirements, confirming regulatory alignment for industrial and commercial applications. Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 (168 Hours) applies uniformly across all substitutes, requiring standard handling and storage protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can USB5906CT/KD or USB5926CT/KD be used as direct replacements for USB5916CT/KD?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications, interface protocols (USB 2.0, USB 3.1, I2C, SMBus, SPI, UART), voltage supply ranges (1.08V–1.32V and 3V–3.6V), operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C), and package geometry (100-VFQFN, 12x12mm). Substitution is electrically and mechanically valid.

Q: What is the difference between these three parts?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. USB5916CT/KD uses Cut Tape (CT) packaging, USB5906CT/KD offers Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® options, and USB5926CT/KD uses Tape & Reel (TR) format. All other electrical and functional parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status, REACH unaffected designation, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 (168 Hours). Regulatory and environmental standing is equivalent across all substitutes.

Q: Which part should I select for high-volume production?

A: USB5926CT/KD (Tape & Reel format) is typically preferred for high-volume automated assembly due to standard reel packaging. USB5906CT/KD provides flexibility with dual packaging options. Selection depends on your assembly equipment and supply chain logistics.

Q: Do these parts require different handling or storage procedures?

A: No. All parts share identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 (168 Hours), requiring equivalent handling, storage, and reflow protocols. Standard MSL 3 precautions apply uniformly.

Q: Can I mix these parts within the same production batch?

A: Yes. Since all parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and functional specifications, they can be used interchangeably within the same circuit design and production batch without functional impact.
