Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Z85C3016VSC is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Identical base product number (Z85C30 series)
• Matching package configuration (44-PLCC / 44-LCC J-Lead)
• Identical interface type (Bus)
• Matching voltage supply range (4.5V ~ 5.5V)
• Equivalent moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 3)
• Surface mount mounting type

The Z85C3016VSG qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with these parameters. The primary distinction is product status: Z85C3016VSG is active production, whereas Z85C3016VSC is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Z85C3016VSG is the direct equivalent for Z85C3016VSC applications. Selection should be based on the following factors:

For new designs: Z85C3016VSG is the appropriate choice due to active production status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

For legacy system support: Z85C3016VSG provides functional equivalence with identical electrical and mechanical specifications, enabling direct substitution in existing PCB layouts and assembly processes.

Compliance consideration: Z85C3016VSG meets ROHS3 requirements, whereas Z85C3016VSC does not. This distinction is relevant for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Z85C3016VSG be used as a direct replacement for Z85C3016VSC?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical package configuration (44-PLCC), interface type (Bus), voltage supply range (4.5V ~ 5.5V), and moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 3). Electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts?

A: Z85C3016VSC is obsolete, while Z85C3016VSG is in active production. Additionally, Z85C3016VSG is ROHS3 compliant, whereas Z85C3016VSC is not.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences?

A: No. Both parts use the 44-PLCC surface mount package with identical J-Lead configuration. Pinout and PCB footprint compatibility is assured.

Q: What is the MSL rating, and why does it matter?

A: Both parts carry MSL 3 (168 Hours), indicating moisture sensitivity at the intermediate level. This classification determines storage and handling requirements prior to soldering.

Q: Is Z85C3016VSG available in the same packaging format?

A: Z85C3016VSG is supplied in Tube packaging, whereas Z85C3016VSC packaging is not specified. Both are compatible with standard surface mount assembly processes.
