CDCI6214: CDCI6214RGE vs CDCE6214RGE: What are the differences?

Part Number: CDCI6214
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CDCE6214,

Tool/software:

CDCI6214RGE is obsolete, to be replaced by CDCE6214RGE.    But they are NOT the same.   Is there a migration guide, or a checklist of both hardware & software changes?

    Eugene,

    These two devices have quite different register maps. A comparison between the two is attached here:

     CDCI6214 to CDCE6214 Bits.xlsx

    In terms of the BOM, the CDCE6214 does not require external 50-Ohm termination to GND, as these resistors are integrated into the output driver.

    Thanks,

    Kadeem

    Thanks, Kadeem.

    My problems are not resolved, unfortunately.   If I move to the CDCE from now on, I will have a mixture of old & new in the field.   My SW downloads the register contents at bootup.   How do I know which chip I have in a given instance?   The old CDCI has REV0 register (addr=0x18) with "1h = CDCI6214" to ID the chip.   But the new CDCE does not have this register, as shown in the migration doc you sent.   How do I tell the difference between the old and new so as to download the correct register mage?

    Eugene,

    The easiest way would be to look at the top markings.

    From a software standpoint, the CDCE has 85 registers whereas the CDCI only has 63. This may be the easiest way to tell the difference without physically looking at the part.

    Best,

    Cris
