Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Z8622912SSC is determined by strict alignment with the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Identical functional classification as Video Decoder IC
• Matching package specification: 18-SOIC (0.295", 7.50mm Width)
• Compatible digital supply voltage range: 4.75V ~ 5.25V
• Surface mount mounting type
• Equivalent application scope: Set-Top Boxes and TV systems
• Identical base product number family: Z8622912

The Z8622912SSG qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all specified parameters. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification, not electrical or mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Z8622912SSG is the qualified substitute for Z8622912SSC applications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

For New Designs and Long-Term Support: The Z8622912SSG is the appropriate choice. This part carries Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and availability. The ROHS3 compliance certification meets current environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial applications.

For Legacy System Maintenance: The Z8622912SSC remains functionally equivalent for existing installations where RoHS compliance is not a contractual or regulatory requirement. However, the obsolete status indicates limited future availability.

Compliance Considerations: Organizations subject to RoHS directives or equivalent environmental regulations must specify Z8622912SSG. The ROHS3 certification of the substitute part satisfies these requirements, whereas the non-compliant status of the original part does not.

Both parts share identical electrical specifications, package geometry, and application scope, ensuring direct functional interchangeability within the specified voltage and thermal operating ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Z8622912SSG be used as a direct replacement for Z8622912SSC in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent Video Decoder ICs with identical package specifications (18-SOIC), mounting type (Surface Mount), and digital supply voltage range (4.75V ~ 5.25V). No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The Z8622912SSG is the active production variant with ROHS3 compliance certification, while the Z8622912SSC is classified as obsolete and does not meet RoHS requirements. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between Z8622912SSC and Z8622912SSG?

A: Both parts use the same 18-SOIC package with 0.295" width (7.50mm). The Z8622912SSG is supplied in Tube packaging, while the original part packaging format is not specified. This does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Which part should be specified for new product designs?

A: The Z8622912SSG should be specified for all new designs. This part has Active product status, ensuring manufacturer support and compliance with current environmental regulations.

Q: Is the moisture sensitivity level the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both the Z8622912SSC and Z8622912SSG carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in Set-Top Box and TV applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for identical applications: Set-Top Boxes and TV systems. The electrical specifications and functional characteristics support direct interchangeability in these application domains.
