Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ZSSC3170EE3R is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Base Product Number Match: Both the main part and substitute must share the ZSSC3170 base product number, ensuring identical core signal conditioning functionality and feature set.
• Voltage Supply Compatibility: Supply voltage range must be 4.75V ~ 5.25V to maintain electrical compatibility with existing power delivery systems.
• Interface Support: All supported communication interfaces (I2C, LIN, PWM, ZACwire™ One-Wire Interface) must be present in the substitute part.
• Automotive Grade & AEC-Q100 Qualification: Both parts must maintain Automotive grade classification and AEC-Q100 qualification for compliance with automotive reliability standards.
• Package Compatibility: The substitute part must be compatible with the PCB layout and assembly process, though different package types (DFN vs. SSOP) may be acceptable if mechanical and thermal characteristics align with design requirements.

The ZSSC3170EE2R qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on these criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ZSSC3170EE2R is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete ZSSC3170EE3R. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, including supply voltage range, interface protocols, and automotive-grade qualification with AEC-Q100 certification.

The primary difference between these parts is the package configuration: the main part uses a 20-DFN (6x5) form factor with wettable flank mounting, while the substitute uses a 20-SSOP package. Both are surface-mount technologies suitable for automated assembly processes.

The ZSSC3170EE2R carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturing support. Selection of the substitute part eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional and electrical compatibility with designs originally specified for the ZSSC3170EE3R.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ZSSC3170EE2R directly replace the ZSSC3170EE3R in existing designs?

A: Electrical and functional compatibility is complete. The substitute part supports identical interfaces (I2C, LIN, PWM, ZACwire™ One-Wire), operates within the same supply voltage range (4.75V ~ 5.25V), and maintains Automotive grade with AEC-Q100 qualification. PCB layout modification is required due to package differences (DFN vs. SSOP).

Q: What are the key differences between the ZSSC3170EE3R and ZSSC3170EE2R?

A: The parts share the same base product number (ZSSC3170) and identical electrical specifications. The primary difference is packaging: ZSSC3170EE3R uses 20-DFN (6x5) with wettable flank mounting, while ZSSC3170EE2R uses 20-SSOP. The substitute part is currently in Active production status.

Q: Are both parts qualified for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both the ZSSC3170EE3R and ZSSC3170EE2R carry Automotive grade classification and AEC-Q100 qualification, meeting automotive reliability and quality standards.

Q: Why is the ZSSC3170EE3R marked as Obsolete?

A: Renesas Electronics Corporation has transitioned production to the ZSSC3170EE2R, which offers the same core functionality in an alternative package configuration. The substitute part is the recommended path for new designs and ongoing production support.

Q: What supply voltage is required for both parts?

A: Both the ZSSC3170EE3R and ZSSC3170EE2R require a supply voltage range of 4.75V ~ 5.25V. This specification is identical across both parts.
