Original question:

PAL16R6AM: Power Consumption over frequency

PAL16R6AM: operational power

Part Number: PAL16R6AM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PAL16R6A

Team, 

My customer has the following question. 

This is regarding parts PAL16R6A and PAL16R6A-2. I am interested in the half power version which is the -2 version. However, it looks like that part is obsolete. On the TI website there isn’t much information on these parts and I was hoping you could provide me with any technical information you may have. One of my main questions is the difference between those parts: is the die different or was it that the part was qualified in some way. I notice that both parts have the same typical power but different max power. Would it be possible to obtain a half power version be that directly or by qualification/testing of the active part PAL16R6A?

Regards,

Aaron

    Aaron,
    I do not have design data that indicates how the half power devices are implemented. I suspect they are the same die, with mask changes, or possibly fuse changes that will change the internal biasing current.
    Based on this assumption, a full power device will not be able to operate as a lower power version.
