FFF CompatibilityUtilizes the identical 40-pin VQFN (6x6mm) package with the exact same pinout mapping and pad connection.The physical package, dimensions, footprint, and mounting style are identical to the original device.Meets or exceeds all electrical parameters, providing the same direct-conversion architecture with improved transient response and lower power.Comes in a smaller 24-QFN (4x4mm) package, which requires a complete schematic and layout redesign.The physical dimensions and pin count are entirely different from the 40-VQFN (6x6mm) of the original part.While it functions as a high-performance I/Q demodulator, it does not integrate the LNA, baseband filters, or LO synthesizer/PLL/VCO present in the CMX994EQ4.
AI Summary

CMX994EQ4 by CML Micro: - RF Receiver 50MHz ~ 1.218GHz -116dBm 19.2kbps PCB, Surface Mount 40-VQFN (6x6).

The CMX994EFQ4 is the official manufacturer-designated direct replacement for the obsolete CMX994EQ4. It is fully pin-to-pin compatible and offers an active lifecycle status, solving end-of-life concerns. It incorporates all features of the enhanced 'E' version while improving transient responses and power efficiency.

  • Direct manufacturer-recommended successor and replacement part.
  • 100% pin-compatible drop-in replacement with no PCB redesign required.
  • Active lifecycle status ensures long-term part availability.

The LTC5584IUF#PBF is a high-performance, active I/Q demodulator from Analog Devices that covers the frequency range of the original part. However, it is a non-drop-in alternative that requires a full board redesign. It lacks the integrated LNA, baseband filters, and synthesizer present on the CMX994, which must be implemented with external circuitry.

  • Active lifecycle status from a tier-1 RF manufacturer (Analog Devices).
  • Wider RF and LO operating frequency range (30 MHz to 1.4 GHz).
  • Excellent linearity and high dynamic range.
  • Lacks integrated LNA, requiring an external low-noise amplifier.
  • No integrated integer-N PLL/VCO synthesizer, requiring external LO generation.

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.

  1. All your BOM, at once

    Parter maps every line to live stock, lead time, lifecycle and compliance data across the entire market — not part by part.

  2. Hear about problems before they hit production

    Allocation, EOL and last-time-buy notices surface the moment they appear, not when your buyer's PO bounces.

  3. Qualified replacements in minutes, not days

    Every at-risk line gets form-fit-function matches like the ones above — deltas flagged, evidence attached. Review, push to your BOM, and Parter starts watching the new part too.

Frequently asked questions

The CML Micro CMX994EQ4 is in its last-time-buy phase — the manufacturer has announced end-of-life and is taking final orders only. If you need ongoing supply, the alternatives on this page are active replacements.
