Thread Summary

The user inquires about the ADV7280BCPZ's future availability and compatibility with ADV7280A. The support team confirms that ADV7280BCPZ is not recommended for new designs but does not provide assurance on its discontinuation timeline. ADV7280A is a drop-in replacement with the same pinout and software compatibility, except for an updated IDENT code and a modified crystal circuit requiring an additional resistor.

Dear ADI Support Team,

Hello, this is Andrew Song from VDS Korea.

We are currently planning a new project with the part number ADV7280BCPZ and are preparing the circuit design accordingly.

However, we recently found the following on your official website:

ADV7280"Not Recommended for New Designs"
ADV7280A"Recommended for New Designs"

To avoid confusion in the design stage, we would appreciate your clarification on the following points:

  1. Does the notice “Not Recommended for New Designs” mean the ADV7280BCPZ (non-M version) will be phased out or discontinued soon?

  2. Can you officially recommend ADV7280A as a drop-in replacement for ADV7280BCPZ?

  3. Are there any functional, pinout, or register-level differences between ADV7280 and ADV7280A that we should consider before changing the design?

  4. If we proceed with ADV7280BCPZ, will there be any risk in long-term supply or support?

Thank you in advance for your confirmation.
