Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the X9315WM-2.7 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 10kΩ
• Tap count: 32 taps
• Circuit configuration: Single circuit
• Interface protocol: Up/Down (U/D, INC, CS)
• Memory architecture: Non-Volatile
• Supply voltage compatibility: 2.7V ~ 5.5V
• Package form factor: 8-MSOP
• Taper characteristic: Linear
• Tolerance specification: ±20%
• Temperature coefficient: ±300ppm/°C

The X9315WMZ-2.7 manufactured by Intersil meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent despite the original manufacturer being Renesas Electronics Corporation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The X9315WMZ-2.7 from Intersil is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete X9315WM-2.7. Both components share identical electrical specifications and package geometry. The Intersil variant maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The original Renesas component's obsolescence status necessitates transition to the Intersil equivalent for new production and long-term supply chain stability.

Compliance considerations: The original X9315WM-2.7 is RoHS non-compliant. Verification of the Intersil X9315WMZ-2.7 compliance status is required for applications subject to RoHS regulations.
