Substitution Feasibility Conclusion
Direct substitution is not feasible. Although both devices are 140-segment serial interface LCD drivers, critical electrical parameters and package configurations impose hard constraints, necessitating a re-evaluation of the system design.
Comparison Points
1. Supply Voltage Range
- BU9795ZKS2: 2.5V to 5.5V
- LC75836WH-E: 4.5V to 6V
The BU9795ZKS2 is compatible with both 3.3V and 5V systems, whereas the LC75836WH-E is only suitable for systems operating near 5V or higher. If the original design uses a 3.3V supply, direct replacement will result in device malfunction.
2. Quiescent Current
- BU9795ZKS2: 20 µA
- LC75836WH-E: 450 µA
The BU9795ZKS2 exhibits significantly lower power consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered or power-sensitive applications. The LC75836WH-E consumes 22.5 times more current, which could substantially reduce system standby time or require a redesign of the power management scheme.
3. Package and Pin Count
- BU9795ZKS2: 52-pin SQFP (10×10 mm)
- LC75836WH-E: 48-pin SQFP (7×7 mm)
The package footprint and pin count are incompatible, requiring PCB re-layout. Additionally, pin function definitions must be verified individually, introducing risk of pin mapping mismatches.
4. Manufacturer and Supply Chain
- Drivers from different manufacturers may exhibit variations in internal timing, register configuration, and communication protocol details. Deep validation of software driver compatibility is essential, along with consideration of long-term supply availability and cost factors.
