Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Z8613012SSC is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Identical package type: 18-SOIC (0.295", 7.50mm Width)
• Matching digital supply voltage range: 4.75V ~ 5.25V
• Identical functional classification: Video Decoder IC
• Compatible mounting type: Surface Mount
• Equivalent application domain: Set-Top Boxes, TV
• Base product number alignment: Z8613012

The Z8613012SSG qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment across all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components share the same base product number (Z8613012), identical package specifications, and matching voltage requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Z8613012SSG is the direct equivalent substitute for the Z8613012SSC. Both components are manufactured by Zilog and maintain identical electrical specifications and package configurations. The primary distinction is product status: the Z8613012SSC is obsolete while the Z8613012SSG is active in production.

The Z8613012SSG offers the additional advantage of ROHS3 compliance, whereas the Z8613012SSC is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to regulatory requirements or environmental compliance mandates, the Z8613012SSG is the preferred selection. Both components are REACH unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Z8613012SSG directly replace the Z8613012SSC in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (4.75V ~ 5.25V digital supply), package type (18-SOIC), mounting configuration (surface mount), and functional classification (video decoder). No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

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

A: The Z8613012SSC is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer manufactured or supported by Zilog. The Z8613012SSG is active in production, ensuring availability for current and future procurement requirements.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect compatibility?

A: RoHS compliance status does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The difference reflects manufacturing process standards. Selection between the two should be based on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application and supply chain mandates.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when substituting these parts?

A: The Z8613012SSC is supplied in bulk packaging, while the Z8613012SSG is supplied in tube packaging. Both packaging formats are standard for surface mount components and do not affect functional performance. Tube packaging may provide improved component protection during handling and storage.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these components?

A: Both the Z8613012SSC and Z8613012SSG are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These components do not require special moisture control during storage or handling.
