Find Alternates
Put in the part you need to replace and let Zenode's Agent search, screen and compare its alternates — spec by spec and pin by pin, each one cited to its datasheet.
- 40m+Candidates drawn from Zenode's actively maintained 40m+ part database
- [1]Every spec and pin comparison links to the datasheet it came from
- USITAR environments available
How it works
- 01
Pick the prime part
The part you need to replace. It resolves to one MPN with its lifecycle status and the datasheet the comparison is built on.
- 02
Set the constraints
Restrict candidates to an approved parts list, require a drop-in, add parts you already suspect, and say what the design may relax.
- 03
Search, screen, compare
The catalog is searched by series, family, shared documents and parametrics. The top candidates are screened, and the best few compared to the prime datasheet to datasheet.
- 04
Work the comparison
Save or discard candidates, evaluate more from the pool, add a criterion, and download the table as Excel or CSV.
What you get back
A comparison per evaluated candidate: replacement type, a signal for every criterion, and the spec and pin tables behind it. Everything else the search found stays in the pool, with the reason it was screened in or out.
| Candidate | Type | Function | Specs | Pinout | Package | Lifecycle |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Candidate ASame footprint and pinout; every threshold met | Drop-in | MATCH | MATCH | MATCH | MATCH | MATCH |
| Candidate BBetter spec margin; thicker package variant | Upgrade | MATCH | MATCH | MATCH | PARTIAL | MATCH |
| Candidate CNeeds a layout change; one threshold within your relaxation | Functional | MATCH | PARTIAL | DIFFERS | DIFFERS | MATCH |
A requirement you set removes candidates that fail it. When none survive, the run says what dropping each requirement would find — it never relaxes one on its own.
