How do I search for part information and equivalent TI cross reference parts in the new tool?
There are three ways to search for part and cross reference information: Single part search, “Create New List” of parts, and “Upload BOM”
- Single part search – Simply enter a partial or full part number in the search bar on the main tool page, and click the “Search” button. You may be asked to confirm the part you are looking for, and if available, equivalent TI crossed parts that match. Part information for the chosen part will display on the main screen after you have made your selection.
- Create New List – Clicking on the “Create New List” button will open a new window where you can name the list you would like to create. Then the tool will open where you can manually enter a list of parts you would like to add and see part information and potential crosses for, or if desired, you may also upload a BOM from this page by clicking the “Upload BOM” button.
- Upload BOM – Clicking on the “Upload BOM” button from the main page or “Create New List” page, will open a new window where you can choose a file from your computer that contains a list of part numbers you would like to submit in the tool to see part information and potential crosses for. Once you choose the file to upload, a new window will appear where you can confirm the BOM data and name the new list you uploaded. Here you can also map any user specific columns from your BOM that you would like to appear in the final results, such as customer part number, quantity, etc. Once completed, you simply click on “Save list” and the BOM tool will open and begin processing your list of parts, which will display in a list on the main screen.
