LM10506TME/NOPB Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LM10506TME/NOPB is a triple-output buck power management IC (PMIC) designed for Solid State Drives (SSD) applications. Manufactured by Texas Instruments, this component operates within a 3V to 5.5V supply voltage range and delivers 100µA supply current. The device is packaged in a 34-DSBGA configuration for surface mount applications.

This part carries a "Not For New Designs" product status, indicating that Texas Instruments has discontinued active development and support for this model. Organizations requiring this functionality for new or ongoing projects must identify equivalent substitute components that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering active manufacturer support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LM10506TME/NOPB is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Supply Voltage Range: Both main and substitute parts must operate within 3V to 5.5V
• Package Type: DSBGA (Dual Small Ball Grid Array) configuration required for mechanical compatibility
• Application Category: Solid State Drives (SSD) PMIC functionality
• Compliance Standards: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status maintained
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount configuration with ball grid array footprint

The LM10502TLX/NOPB qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on these parameters. While the substitute operates at a lower supply current (60µA versus 100µA) and uses a smaller 25-DSBGA package, it maintains the core voltage supply range, application category, compliance certifications, and surface mount technology required for SSD PMIC applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LM10502TLX/NOPB is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the LM10506TME/NOPB. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status: The LM10502TLX/NOPB maintains Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support, availability, and technical documentation
• Compliance Alignment: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for the same application domains
• Voltage Compatibility: Identical supply voltage range (3V ~ 5.5V) ensures compatibility with existing power distribution architectures
• Application Continuity: Both components are designated for Solid State Drives (SSD) PMIC applications, confirming functional equivalence within this product category
• Package Technology: Both utilize DSBGA surface mount technology, maintaining compatibility with existing PCB layouts and assembly processes

The primary differences—reduced supply current (60µA versus 100µA) and smaller package footprint (25-DSBGA versus 34-DSBGA)—represent design improvements rather than functional limitations for SSD applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LM10502TLX/NOPB directly replace the LM10506TME/NOPB in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement requires PCB layout modification due to package size differences (25-DSBGA versus 34-DSBGA). The electrical parameters and supply voltage range are compatible, but the physical footprint differs. Consult the respective datasheets for pin configuration and layout requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on the LM10506TME/NOPB?

A: This status indicates that Texas Instruments has concluded active development and support for this component. New designs should utilize the LM10502TLX/NOPB, which carries Active product status and receives ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: Are both components RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the LM10506TME/NOPB and LM10502TLX/NOPB are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements for the same applications.

Q: How do the supply current specifications affect component selection?

A: The LM10502TLX/NOPB operates at 60µA supply current compared to 100µA for the LM10506TME/NOPB. This represents improved power efficiency and is not a limitation for SSD PMIC applications. Both values fall within acceptable ranges for this product category.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference between these components?

A: The LM10506TME/NOPB operates from -40°C to 85°C, while the LM10502TLX/NOPB operates from -30°C to 85°C. For applications requiring operation below -30°C, the LM10506TME/NOPB may be necessary, though availability is limited due to its discontinued status.

Q: Are both components available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. Both the LM10506TME/NOPB and LM10502TLX/NOPB are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.
