What this part is and where it fits
The SCANSTA101SMX-NS is a microprocessor circuit in a PBGA49 package, designed for boundary-scan or JTAG test infrastructure in digital boards. It functions as a scan-test controller, managing test access ports across multiple devices on a PCB.
Lifecycle and compliance — what it means for your BOM
The SCANSTA101SMX-NS is listed as Active in production status, so there is no last-time-buy or EOL pressure on this line. However, it is RoHS non-compliant, which means it contains lead or other restricted substances. This part is suitable for legacy BOMs that carry a RoHS exemption, or for military/aerospace builds where leaded solder is still permitted. For new designs requiring RoHS compliance, you will need to look at a lead-free equivalent or a different scan controller family.
Packaging and storage note
That means no moisture-sensitive label (MSL) to track, but also no reel for automated pick-and-place. Plan for manual handling or a tube feeder on the line. Store the units in a dry, ESD-protected cabinet; without a reel seal, they are more exposed to humidity and physical damage during handling.
