Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What does the “QU” prefix stand for in QU80386EX25?
A: “QU” means lead‑free RoHS‑compliant version with 132‑pin PQFP surface‑mount package. The TB suffix refers to through‑hole ceramic package for wide‑temperature‑range. They have different footprints and cannot be pin‑to‑pin compatible.
Q2: What voltage and temperature does QU80386EX25 support?
A: This QU‑PQFP chip runs at 5.0V DC ±10%, commercial temperature 0℃~+70℃. It is NOT a 3.3V device. The‑40℃~125℃ wide temperature belongs to TB ceramic series parts.
Q3: How is 386EX different from standard 80386 processors?
A: 386EX is an embedded‑optimized derivative. It integrates DMA, interrupt controller, timers, watchdog, serial port and DRAM refresh circuits on‑chip. It greatly reduces the number of external peripheral components.
Q4: Are there pin‑compatible or cross‑brand replacements for QU80386EX25?
A: There are no true drop‑in cross‑brand equivalents. You may select other speed grades within Intel 386EX family. For new hardware design, modern x86 SoC or high‑end ARM MCU are recommended, which requires full hardware and firmware redesign.
Q5: What is the difference between QU80386EX25 and QU80386EX33?
A: They share the same PQFP‑132 footprint, peripherals and 5V power supply. Only the maximum clock speed differs: 25 MHz for QU80386EX25, 33 MHz for QU80386EX33. They can be socket‑swapped if your clock circuit supports target frequency.
Q6: Can TB‑package 80386EX directly replace QU80386EX25?
A: No. TB is through‑hole ceramic package. Its mechanical footprint does not match PQFP‑132 SMD. It cannot be soldered onto existing QU‑version PCB, even though internal silicon functions are similar.
Q7: How do I get datasheet, pinout diagram or volume quotation?
A: Please submit your demand via Quick Inquiry form. Our technical‑sales team will send datasheets, stock confirmation and price offers within 24 hours.
