Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the X9315TM-2.7 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 100kΩ
• Number of taps: 32
• Taper configuration: Linear
• Number of circuits: 1
• Control interface: Up/Down (U/D, INC, CS)
• Memory type: Non-Volatile
• Supply voltage range: 2.7V ~ 5.5V
• Package type: 8-MSOP
• Mounting configuration: Surface Mount

The X9315TMZ-2.7 meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent from the same manufacturer within the XDCP™ series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The X9315TMZ-2.7 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete X9315TM-2.7. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, interface characteristics, and package dimensions. The primary distinction lies in product status and regulatory compliance: the X9315TMZ-2.7 is Active and ROHS3 Compliant, whereas the X9315TM-2.7 is Obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or ongoing production requiring regulatory compliance, the X9315TMZ-2.7 is the appropriate selection. The MSL rating difference (1 versus 2) reflects standard moisture handling requirements and does not impact functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the X9315TMZ-2.7 be used as a direct replacement for the X9315TM-2.7?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters, including resistance value, tap count, interface protocol, supply voltage range, and package configuration. The X9315TMZ-2.7 is the active production equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the X9315TM-2.7 and X9315TMZ-2.7?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certifications. The X9315TM-2.7 is Obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the X9315TMZ-2.7 is Active and ROHS3 Compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences?

A: No. Both parts use the 8-MSOP package with identical pinout and mechanical dimensions (0.118", 3.00mm Width).

Q: What does the MSL rating difference indicate?

A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) indicates moisture handling requirements during storage and assembly. MSL 1 (Unlimited) allows indefinite storage without baking, while MSL 2 (1 Year) requires baking if storage exceeds one year. This does not affect functional performance or compatibility.

Q: Is the X9315TMZ-2.7 suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. The X9315TMZ-2.7 is the recommended choice for new designs due to its Active status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.
