TCA5013: Hot swapping on SAM cards

Sergio Alarcon

Part Number: TCA5013

Hi,

On one hand, I just want to ask if the SAM modules allow hot swapping.

On the other, I am aware that there are a few years since this IC is active, is there any estimation on where the chip will be deprecated?

Thanks, bests,

Sergio.

yes, it's allowed for hot swapping, not sure what's your 2nd question.

Hi Mr. Zhou,

Thanks for the answer. Very usefull.

Regarding the second one, what I want is to implement TCA5013 on pay machines and manufacturing them for many years, so I am trying to avoid ICs that will be obsolete in a near future. That's the reason I want to know if TCA5013 can be (or not) a good candidate for the designs.

Thanks! Bests,
