Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the XM-M92-UP-AA is determined by the following critical parameters: frequency range (902MHz ~ 928MHz), modulation type (FHSS), data rate (200kbps), sensitivity (-110dBm), and power output (24dBm). These RF and performance characteristics are fixed across the XBee-Pro® XM-M92 product line and define functional equivalence.

The primary differentiator among substitute parts is the interface type. The XM-M92-UP-AA uses USB connectivity. Substitute parts maintain identical RF performance but may differ in interface implementation (USB or RS-232) and corresponding supply voltage requirements. Parts sharing the USB interface and identical electrical specifications are direct functional equivalents. Parts with alternative interfaces (RS-232) provide equivalent RF performance but require interface adaptation in system design.

All substitute candidates share the same base product number (XM-M92), series designation (XBee-Pro®), and regulatory compliance framework (REACH Unaffected, ECCN 5A992C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XM-M92-UP-UA is the primary substitute for the obsolete XM-M92-UP-AA. Both parts maintain identical RF specifications, frequency range, data rate, sensitivity, and power output. The XM-M92-UP-UA is currently in active production status and carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing regulatory advantage for new designs. The USB interface and supply voltage range (2.1V ~ 3.6V) are identical, enabling direct functional replacement without circuit modification.

The XM-M92-2P-UA provides equivalent RF performance and is also in active production with RoHS Compliant status. However, this part uses RS-232 interface and requires supply voltage in the 7V ~ 30V range, necessitating interface and power supply circuit adaptation. Selection of this part is appropriate only when RS-232 connectivity is required or when higher supply voltage availability exists in the target system.

For applications requiring immediate component replacement with minimal design modification, the XM-M92-UP-UA is the appropriate selection. For applications where interface flexibility or higher supply voltage operation is beneficial, the XM-M92-2P-UA provides an alternative path with equivalent RF capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XM-M92-UP-UA directly replace the XM-M92-UP-AA without circuit modification?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical USB interface, supply voltage range (2.1V ~ 3.6V), RF specifications, frequency range, data rate, sensitivity, and power output. Direct substitution is possible without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the primary difference between XM-M92-UP-UA and XM-M92-2P-UA?

A: The XM-M92-UP-UA uses USB interface with 2.1V ~ 3.6V supply voltage. The XM-M92-2P-UA uses RS-232 interface with 7V ~ 30V supply voltage. RF performance parameters are identical. Interface and power supply circuit modifications are required when substituting between these parts.

Q: Why is the XM-M92-UP-AA listed as obsolete?

A: The XM-M92-UP-AA is no longer in active production. The XM-M92-UP-UA serves as the current production equivalent with identical electrical and RF specifications.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with the same antenna and RF circuit design?

A: Yes. All three parts operate in the 902MHz ~ 928MHz frequency band with identical sensitivity (-110dBm) and power output (24dBm). Antenna and RF circuit design compatibility is maintained across all three parts.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS Compliant status on the substitute parts?

A: The XM-M92-UP-UA and XM-M92-2P-UA both carry RoHS Compliant certification, indicating compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. This status is relevant for applications subject to RoHS requirements or for manufacturers implementing RoHS-compliant supply chains.

Q: Can the XM-M92-2P-UA be used in applications designed for the XM-M92-UP-AA?

A: RF functionality is equivalent. However, the RS-232 interface and 7V ~ 30V supply voltage requirement necessitate circuit redesign. Direct substitution without modification is not possible.
