TLC393QDRG4 v TLC393QDRG4Q1

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TLC393-Q1, TLC393

Can you tell me what the difference is between PN TLC393QDRG4 and TLC393QDRG4Q1.

Cheers

  • Hi Calum,

    When I search on the TLC393QDRG4 model it is listed with our commercial grade version of the product. It is rated for -40 C to +125 C operation.

    Searching on the TLC393QDRG4Q1 lands on the automotive grade version of the product. The data sheet states that it is "Qualified for Automotive Applications." It too is rated for -40 C to +125 C operation.

    The intended use appears that is the primary difference.

      If you use ESP, go to each Product Folder page, the main parameters are shown and you can compare these side-by-side:

  • In addition, the qualification testing is much more rigorous for automotive (-Q1) devices than for commercial (non -Q1) devices.  The tests typically have tighter specifications and have been tested 100% over temperature to meet the stringent needs for automotive devices.

    The Q1 device meets the requirements of AEC-Q100 through both "binning"and testing per AEC-Q100.

    http://focus.ti.com/download/auto/newsletters/autosolutions_04-09.htm provides a general explanation. See below:

    AEC-Q100 is an industry standard specification developed by major automotive manufacturers and suppliers, which outlines the recommended new product and major change qualification requirements and procedures. It details a set of stress tests, defines the minimum stress test driven qualification requirements, and references test conditions for the qualification of integrated circuits.

    Features:

    - Qualified at -40°C to 125°C (represented in the part number by the "Q" designator) —180-day PCN period versus standard 90-day PCN meets automotive minimum requirements

    - Q100 qualification data available on request —Single fab and A/T site help avoid shifts in performance or quality

  • Hey Leonard,

    The specs above are the "best" case part - i.e. one that operates form 0C to 70C.

    If I go into both datasheets and look at the table for -40C to 125C I see no difference in parameters. This is a question form a CM who I believe is looking for a drop in replacement. Are the two parts the same silicon and just tested differently? as one is automotive only and the other covers the full -55C to 125C range?

    Cheers
