TCM8030PN – baseband circuit in PQFP80
The TCM8030PN is a CMOS baseband circuit from Texas Instruments, supplied in an 80-pin PQFP (Plastic Quad Flat Pack). Baseband circuits handle the modulation, demodulation, and signal processing in communication systems — this part is the digital/analog interface between the RF front-end and the host processor in a radio design. meaning the parts ship loose in a bag or tube rather than taped on a reel — a detail that matters for manual assembly or low-volume builds where a pick-and-place feeder setup isn't warranted.
RoHS status – a compliance gate
This part is RoHS non-compliant. Lead-bearing solder terminations are present, which excludes it from assemblies that must meet EU RoHS or similar restricted-substance directives. For legacy repair, mil/aero contracts with explicit leaded-solder exemptions, or prototype runs where compliance isn't enforced, that's not a blocker — but it is the first filter a BOM checker will flag.
Lifecycle – active, no end-of-life signal
The TCM8030PN carries an Active product status.
