Procurement Notes

Verify availability status as inventory levels fluctuate. Confirm factory production timeframes, which may extend up to 30 weeks depending on current demand. Ensure ordering multiples align with the standard tray quantity of 27 units. Cross-reference the full part number including the -400B2 suffix to guarantee correct processor speed and package variant selection during procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 400 MHz processing speed is required within the WP3 series architecture. The B2 package with LF balls suits automated surface mount lines. Compare against other WP3 variants like the WP32C2F0NFEI-450B2 if higher clock speeds are needed, or the WP3232M6NFEI-320B2 for lower power consumption requirements. Ensure board design supports the specific pinout and thermal characteristics of the B2 package.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip WP3 series of network controllers and processors. The series offers various clock speeds and package options to suit different performance tiers. The WP32C2W6NFEI-400B2 represents a mid-range performance option within this lineup, balancing processing power with integration density for complex communication tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other WP3 series parts such as WP32C2F0NFEI-450B2 for higher speed or WP3232M6NFEI-320B2 for lower frequency needs. Verify pin compatibility and software stack support before swapping. No direct cross-brand replacements are documented.
