Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VT382FCR-ADJ is determined by the following criteria:

Functional Equivalence: The substitute part must belong to the same base product series (VT382) and maintain the same component category (Power Management PMIC) and type (Linear Voltage Regulator IC).

Output Configuration: Both the main part and substitute must feature adjustable output voltage capability, ensuring identical functional behavior in circuit applications.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part must maintain ROHS3 compliance status to satisfy current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Manufacturer Continuity: The substitute part must originate from the same manufacturer (Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated) to ensure design compatibility and technical support consistency.

Product Status: Active product status in the substitute ensures ongoing availability and manufacturer support, addressing the obsolescence limitation of the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VT382FCX-ADJ serves as the direct active substitute for the obsolete VT382FCR-ADJ. Both components share identical functional classification, output configuration, and regulatory compliance status. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the VT382FCR-ADJ is obsolete with no future manufacturer support, while the VT382FCX-ADJ maintains active status with ongoing availability and technical support from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated.

For new designs or system updates, the VT382FCX-ADJ is the appropriate selection. For existing systems currently using the VT382FCR-ADJ, the VT382FCX-ADJ provides functional continuity while ensuring long-term supply chain viability and regulatory compliance maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the VT382FCX-ADJ directly replace the VT382FCR-ADJ in existing circuits?

A: Yes. Both components are members of the VT382 base product series, share identical functional classification as adjustable linear voltage regulators, and maintain equivalent ROHS3 compliance. No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary reason for seeking a substitute for the VT382FCR-ADJ?

A: The VT382FCR-ADJ has reached obsolete product status, meaning the manufacturer no longer produces or supports this component. The VT382FCX-ADJ is the active equivalent that ensures continued availability and manufacturer technical support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these two parts?

A: Packaging information is not specified in the available technical parameters for either component. Refer to the manufacturer's detailed datasheet for specific package type and pin configuration details.

Q: Does the VT382FCX-ADJ maintain the same regulatory compliance as the VT382FCR-ADJ?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant. The VT382FCX-ADJ additionally carries REACH Unaffected status, providing enhanced regulatory documentation for supply chain compliance.

Q: Is the VT382FCX-ADJ available in sufficient quantity for procurement?

A: Current inventory records indicate 1153 pcs of the VT382FCX-ADJ in stock as new original components, providing adequate availability for component selection and procurement planning.
