X9313WS-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The X9313WS-3 is a digital potentiometer manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, classified as a data acquisition component. This 10kΩ device features 32 taps with Up/Down (U/D, INC, CS) interface control, housed in an 8-SOIC surface mount package. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the X9313WS-3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 10kΩ
• Number of taps: 32
• Interface protocol: Up/Down (U/D, INC, CS)
• Memory type: Non-Volatile
• Supply voltage range: 3V ~ 5.5V
• Package type: 8-SOIC
• Mounting configuration: Surface Mount

The X9313WSZ-3 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct functional equivalent. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging format, not electrical or mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The X9313WSZ-3 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete X9313WS-3. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, interface protocols, and physical packaging dimensions. The X9313WSZ-3 offers two significant advantages: it maintains active product status with current manufacturer support, and it achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the X9313WS-3 is non-compliant. For new designs or production continuity, the X9313WSZ-3 is the appropriate selection. The packaging difference (tube versus bulk) does not affect functional compatibility and relates only to order and handling logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the X9313WSZ-3 directly replace the X9313WS-3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters. The X9313WSZ-3 operates within the same voltage range, supports the same interface protocol, and is housed in the same 8-SOIC package with identical pin configuration.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The X9313WS-3 is obsolete, meaning Renesas Electronics Corporation no longer manufactures or supports this part. The X9313WSZ-3 is active, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer technical support.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect compatibility?

A: No. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and environmental classification that does not alter electrical or mechanical function. The X9313WSZ-3 meets ROHS3 standards, making it suitable for applications with regulatory compliance requirements.

Q: What does the packaging format difference mean?

A: The X9313WS-3 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the X9313WSZ-3 is supplied in tube packaging. This affects order quantities and handling but does not impact the component's electrical performance or pin configuration.

Q: Are there any interface or protocol differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts implement identical Up/Down (U/D, INC, CS) interface control with 32 taps and non-volatile memory. Signal timing, control sequences, and functional behavior are equivalent.
