Howdy, I'm looking for some help if possible. I need to replace a Toshiba TC9163N integrated circuit. I've located both TC9163N as well as the TC9163AN variants.
I believe the N stands for the dip package. But I've just spent over an hour trying to figure out what the difference between the N version and the AN versions are. The datasheets don't mention what the "A" stands for.
Can I replace the N version with the AN version?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you

I should also add that I think the "A" might stand for the ambient operating temperature but I haven't been able to find any reference to that so I figured it was better to be safe than sorry and ask.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi.
Compare electircal parameters of this two replacements and choose IC with similiar parameters to oryginal IC.

I don't know about Toshiba, but for other manufacturers, the A usually indicates a compatible IC with some kind of improvement. For example, parts selected for a better performance or a slightly improved redesign.
Yes, a new version of the chip often gets an A suffix (then B, then C, ...) For instance NE5534A which is the NE5534 with guaranteed noise performance, 2N2222A, etc etc. However I don't specifically know whether Toshiba follow this convention.
