Procurement Notes

Verify the exact manufacturer part number against official Microchip Technology documentation, as the provided identifier may contain non-standard suffixes or distributor-specific codes. Confirm the package type and operating temperature range match the specific project requirements before procurement. Ensure compatibility with existing system voltage levels and clock frequency specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require two separate baud rate clocks from a single source. Compare pinout configurations and electrical characteristics with alternative dual baud rate generators if space or cost constraints exist. Verify that the output signal integrity meets the timing requirements of the connected serial devices.

Part Context

This component belongs to the category of interface ICs specifically designed for serial communication support. Baud rate generators are essential for maintaining synchronization between transmitting and receiving devices in asynchronous serial links. Microchip Technology offers various solutions for timing and clock management in embedded applications.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-references in Microchip's product change notification documents. Alternative dual baud rate generators from other manufacturers may require schematic and firmware modifications due to differences in control registers and pin assignments.
