VF2510BGT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VF2510BGT is a PLL Clock Driver IC manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, designed for Memory SDRAM DIMM applications. This 24-TSSOP surface mount device operates at 200MHz maximum frequency with a 1:10 input-to-output ratio and 3.3V supply voltage. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing system support and new designs requiring this functional category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VF2510BGT is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Package Compatibility: All substitute parts must use 24-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40mm Width) surface mount packaging to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Functional Category: Parts must be PLL Clock Driver ICs with single circuit configuration
• Supply Voltage: Substitute parts must operate within overlapping voltage ranges (VF2510BGT: 2.97V ~ 3.63V; substitutes: 3V ~ 3.6V)
• Mounting Type: Surface mount requirement maintained across all alternatives
• Differential Characteristics: Input and output must remain non-differential (No/No)
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) maintained for storage and handling compatibility

The CDCVF2510 series from Texas Instruments meets these core substitution criteria. While frequency specifications differ (VF2510BGT: 200MHz vs. CDCVF2510 series: 175MHz) and input-to-output ratios vary (1:10 vs. 2:11), these represent functional variations within the PLL Clock Driver category rather than incompatibilities. The identical package footprint and overlapping voltage specifications enable direct PCB substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The VF2510BGT is obsolete, while all CDCVF2510 series alternatives are active products with ongoing manufacturer support and availability. This status difference makes the Texas Instruments CDCVF2510 series the appropriate long-term solution for new designs and system maintenance.

Compliance Status: All CDCVF2510 variants are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the VF2510BGT is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the Texas Instruments substitutes provide regulatory compliance.

Packaging Options: Four CDCVF2510 variants are available with different packaging configurations:

• CDCVF2510APW: Tube packaging
• CDCVF2510APWR: Tape & Reel packaging (15,762 units in stock)
• CDCVF2510PW: Tube packaging
• CDCVF2510PWR: Tape & Reel packaging (17,883 units in stock)

Selection between variants depends on procurement volume and assembly requirements. Tape & Reel variants support automated assembly processes.

Temperature Range: CDCVF2510 series operates to 85°C versus VF2510BGT's 70°C maximum, providing extended thermal margin for demanding applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CDCVF2510 series parts be used as direct PCB replacements for VF2510BGT?

A: Yes. All CDCVF2510 variants use identical 24-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40mm Width) surface mount packaging, enabling direct footprint compatibility without PCB redesign.

Q: What is the significance of the different input-to-output ratios (1:10 vs. 2:11)?

A: The input-to-output ratio defines the frequency multiplication factor. VF2510BGT multiplies input frequency by 10, while CDCVF2510 series multiplies by 11/2 (5.5). System clock frequency requirements must be verified against the specific application to ensure the substitute ratio is appropriate.

Q: Are the voltage supply ranges compatible?

A: The ranges overlap substantially. VF2510BGT operates 2.97V ~ 3.63V; CDCVF2510 series operates 3V ~ 3.6V. Both support standard 3.3V supply rails. Designs operating below 3V or above 3.6V require verification against specific application requirements.

Q: What packaging format should be selected for production?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging (CDCVF2510APWR or CDCVF2510PWR) is standard for automated assembly and high-volume production. Tube packaging (CDCVF2510APW or CDCVF2510PW) is suitable for manual assembly or lower volumes.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of CDCVF2510 (0°C ~ 85°C) affect compatibility?

A: The extended range is a superset of VF2510BGT's 0°C ~ 70°C specification. Applications operating within the original 0°C ~ 70°C window are fully compatible. Applications requiring operation above 70°C benefit from the extended range.

Q: Are all CDCVF2510 variants functionally equivalent?

A: CDCVF2510APW, CDCVF2510APWR, CDCVF2510PW, and CDCVF2510PWR are functionally identical. Differences are limited to packaging format (Tube vs. Tape & Reel). Selection depends on procurement and assembly requirements, not functional performance.
