Jump to the catalogIMU and motion-sensor obsolescence
The TDK MPU-6000, MPU-6050 and MPU-9250 are obsolete, and the Bosch BMI160 and BNO055 are going the same way. Every cross here is a register-map and driver requal, never a footprint swap.
CAN transceiver obsolescence
The MCP2551 is obsolete and the TJA1050 is end of life. The supply rail and the function of pin 5 decide every swap, and an 8-pin footprint match tells you neither.
USB-to-serial bridge obsolescence
Which USB bridges are end-of-life and how to cross them. The host driver and the USB VID/PID decide every swap, and the family reaches end-of-life two different ways.
