LM10CLN Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LM10CLN is a general-purpose operational amplifier integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, housed in an 8-DIP through-hole package. This device functions as a single-circuit amplifier suitable for analog signal processing applications requiring low input bias current and moderate supply voltage flexibility.

The LM10CLN carries an obsolete product status, indicating it is no longer in active production. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure component availability, and support legacy system maintenance and repairs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LM10CLN is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Amplifier Type: General Purpose
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Current - Input Bias: 12 nA
• Voltage - Input Offset: 500 µV
• Current - Supply: 280 µA
• Current - Output / Channel: 20 mA
• Voltage - Supply Span (Min): 1.1 V
• Voltage - Supply Span (Max): 6.5 V
• Operating Temperature Range: 0°C to 70°C

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm)
• Supplier Device Package: 8-PDIP

The substitute part LM10CLN/NOPB meets all electrical and mechanical parameters specified for the LM10CLN. The primary distinction is product status and packaging format, with the substitute available in active production status and tube packaging.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

LM10CLN/NOPB is the direct substitute for the obsolete LM10CLN. This part maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering the following advantages:

Product Status: The LM10CLN/NOPB is in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete LM10CLN.

Compliance: The LM10CLN/NOPB is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The original LM10CLN is RoHS non-compliant and does not meet modern procurement standards.

Regulatory Status: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected and EAR99 ECCN classifications, with identical HTSUS codes (8542.33.0001).

Packaging: The LM10CLN/NOPB is supplied in tube packaging, which is standard for active production components and facilitates automated assembly processes.

Functional Equivalence: All electrical parameters—input bias current, input offset voltage, supply current, output current capability, and supply voltage range—are identical between the two parts, ensuring drop-in compatibility in circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LM10CLN/NOPB be used as a direct replacement for LM10CLN in existing designs?

A: Yes. The LM10CLN/NOPB is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the LM10CLN across all specified parameters. Both parts feature identical input bias current (12 nA), input offset voltage (500 µV), supply current (280 µA), output current capability (20 mA), supply voltage range (1.1 V to 6.5 V), operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C), and 8-DIP through-hole package configuration. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from LM10CLN to LM10CLN/NOPB?

A: The LM10CLN is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The LM10CLN/NOPB is in active production, ensuring component availability for new builds and repairs. Additionally, the LM10CLN/NOPB is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental regulations, whereas the LM10CLN is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are there any differences in electrical performance between LM10CLN and LM10CLN/NOPB?

A: No. Both parts are manufactured by Texas Instruments and share identical electrical specifications. Input bias current, input offset voltage, supply current, output current, and supply voltage parameters are equivalent.

Q: What does the "/NOPB" suffix indicate?

A: The "/NOPB" suffix indicates "No Plumbum" (lead-free) packaging, reflecting compliance with RoHS3 regulations that restrict hazardous substances including lead.

Q: Can the LM10CLN be sourced from inventory if LM10CLN/NOPB is unavailable?

A: While the LM10CLN is listed as obsolete, limited inventory may exist in secondary markets. However, procurement of the LM10CLN/NOPB is recommended due to active production status and regulatory compliance. The LM10CLN does not meet modern RoHS requirements and may face supply chain restrictions.

Q: Are the 8-DIP packages physically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole package with identical pin configurations and mechanical dimensions. PCB layouts and socket compatibility are identical.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both LM10CLN and LM10CLN/NOPB have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
