Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Z8F0423PJ005EC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Core processor architecture (eZ8)
• Memory configuration (4KB FLASH, 1KB RAM)
• I/O pin count (22)
• Voltage supply range (2.7V ~ 3.6V)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C)
• Package type and pin configuration (28-DIP)
• Connectivity interfaces (IrDA, UART/USART)
• Peripheral feature set (PWM, WDT, brown-out detection, POR, LED)

The Z8F0423PJ005EG2156 meets all substitution criteria as a direct functional equivalent within the Encore® XP® series, with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Z8F0423PJ005EG2156 is the direct functional substitute for the obsolete Z8F0423PJ005EC. Both devices share identical electrical specifications, memory configuration, I/O architecture, and peripheral feature sets. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring supply chain availability.

The Z8F0423PJ005EG2156 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance improvement aligns with current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Both parts are classified as REACH Unaffected and carry EAR99 export classification. The substitute is supplied in tube packaging, a standard format for component handling and automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Z8F0423PJ005EG2156 be used as a direct replacement for Z8F0423PJ005EC?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally identical across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Pin configuration, memory organization, I/O count, voltage supply range, operating temperature, and peripheral features are equivalent. Direct socket substitution is supported.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. The Z8F0423PJ005EC is obsolete, while Z8F0423PJ005EG2156 is in active production. The substitute carries ROHS3 compliance; the original does not. Packaging format differs (tube vs. unspecified).

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the 28-DIP package?

A: No. Both parts use identical 28-DIP (0.600", 15.24mm) through-hole packaging. PCB footprints, pin assignments, and mechanical dimensions are equivalent.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and manufacturing processes, not electrical characteristics. Both parts deliver identical functional performance within specified operating parameters.

Q: What is the supply status for each part?

A: Z8F0423PJ005EC is obsolete with limited inventory availability. Z8F0423PJ005EG2156 is in active production with current stock availability, making it the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing system support.
