Procurement Notes

This component is officially discontinued and no longer available for new procurement from standard distributors. Verification of current stock levels through authorized channels is recommended, though availability is unlikely. Engineers should initiate design-in processes for replacement parts immediately to ensure long-term supply chain stability for existing products.

Selection Notes

Due to the discontinued status of the ADM6996FAAT1, selection must focus on compatible replacement components. Potential substitutes include parameter-equivalent models such as the ADM6996A1T3 or ADM6996A2T1 from the same manufacturer family. Designers must verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications against the original datasheet before finalizing any alternative component choice.

Part Context

The ADM6996 series represents Infineon's portfolio of Ethernet switch controllers. The FAAT1 suffix denotes a specific variant within this lineup, characterized by its BFQFP packaging and industrial temperature rating. This part belongs to the broader category of interface controllers used in networking infrastructure, specifically targeting mid-range throughput requirements defined by the 10/100 Base-T standard.

Replacement Considerations

Verified parameter-equivalent replacements include ADM6996A1T3 and ADM6996A2T1. These alternatives share similar functional characteristics but require verification of package and pinout compatibility during integration.
