TFP401A-Q1: Difference between part numbers

Part Number: TFP401A-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TFP401, TFP401A

Tool/software:

Hi,

I see on different part numbers for TFP401 on Dİgikey or other suppliers. What is the difference between the following part numbers? I couldn't find it in the datasheet. Also, is the only difference between TFP401 and TFP401A the extra circuits added for HSYNC? What are the operating temperatures for the ones I specifically mentioned below and all other part numbers?

* TFP401AIPZPRQ1

* TFP401APZPR

thanks

  • Hi,

    Between TFP401 and TFP401A, the TFP401A includes HSYNC regeneration circuitry. 

    The TFP401AIPZPRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified with the following results:

    – Device temperature grade 3: –40°C to 85°C ambient operating temperature range

    – Device HBM ESD classification level H2

    – Device CDM ESD classification level C3B

    The TFP401APZPR is commercial temp grade from 0 to 70C.

    Thanks

  • Hi David,

    1-) TFP401A-I-PZPRQ1 "I" prefix is "Industrial. Is it right?

    2-)  I also see that this component has been produced for more than 10 years. Is there a possibility that it will be obsolete in the near future?

    3-)  Do you have any new version integrated circuits that you can recommend as equivalents to this product?

    We will use this integrated circuit to transfer images from an HDMI image source to an RGB screen. Also This IC should have industrial standarts and cost effective.

    Thanks for answer

  • Hi,

    Please see my answer below

    1-) TFP401A-I-PZPRQ1 "I" prefix is "Industrial. Is it right?

    I honestly do not know since we never had a released TFP401AI part. But Q1 indicates this is an automotive qualified part. 

    2-)  I also see that this component has been produced for more than 10 years. Is there a possibility that it will be obsolete in the near future?

    Please see this link on TI obsolete policy. 

    Our guidelines state that TI standard products are not eligible for obsolescence if any of these three conditions exist:

    • The product has had any sales within the last five years (seven years for automotive or high-reliability products).
    • The product can be manufactured and has been in production for less than 10 years.
    • The product has any current customer demand.

    3-)  Do you have any new version integrated circuits that you can recommend as equivalents to this product?

    Unfortunately we do not have a new version available for this part.

    Thanks

    David
