PCA9544A: Part number difference G4 question

Part Number: PCA9544A

Tool/software:

Hi team,

Could you please help share what's the difference between below two parts? Looks like some packaging difference, but not sure what's main difference about the G4.

  • PCA9544APWR
  • PCA9544APWRG4

Thanks,

Oliver

  • There is no difference.

  • Hello Oliver,

    Some TI switches and multiplexers have orderable part numbers labelled with an E4/G4/G3 suffix. There is no difference between a device labeled with an E4/G4/G3 suffix and one without the label. TI.com highlights this in the ordering & quality section on a device product page:

    Historically, E4/G4/G3 suffixes indicted that the devices were “Lead Free” or “Green” but now all of our switches and multiplexers meet these standards. TI has continued to make these orderable part numbers available, so that customers have consistent orderable part numbers.

    Thanks,

    Nir
