Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LM2725M/NOPB is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Driven Configuration: Must be Half-Bridge
• Channel Type: Must be Synchronous
• Number of Drivers: Must be 2
• Gate Type: Must be N-Channel MOSFET
• Input Type: Must be Non-Inverting
• Package / Case: Must be 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount

The LM27222M/NOPB satisfies all substitution criteria. Both devices share identical functional architecture, package specifications, and electrical interface requirements, making it a direct substitute for the obsolete LM2725M/NOPB.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LM27222M/NOPB is the direct substitute for the obsolete LM2725M/NOPB. Both devices maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.

The LM27222M/NOPB carries a Last Time Buy status, indicating limited future availability. Designs currently using the LM2725M/NOPB should transition to the LM27222M/NOPB to maintain supply chain continuity. Both devices are manufactured by Texas Instruments and share identical package specifications and functional architecture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LM27222M/NOPB be used as a direct replacement for the LM2725M/NOPB?

A: Yes. Both devices are half-bridge gate drivers with synchronous dual N-channel MOSFET configurations in identical 8-SOIC packages. The functional interface and pinout are compatible.

Q: What are the key differences between these devices?

A: The LM27222M/NOPB provides higher peak output current (3A source, 4.5A sink versus 1.2A source, 1A sink), extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C versus 0°C to 125°C), and slightly reduced maximum bootstrap voltage (33V versus 42V). Supply voltage range is marginally narrower (4V ~ 6.85V versus 4V ~ 7V).

Q: Are there package compatibility concerns?

A: No. Both devices use the 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) surface mount package. PCB layouts and footprints are identical.

Q: What is the product status implication?

A: The LM2725M/NOPB is Obsolete and no longer manufactured. The LM27222M/NOPB is Last Time Buy, meaning Texas Instruments will cease production after current inventory is depleted. New designs should plan accordingly.

Q: Are both devices RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the LM2725M/NOPB and LM27222M/NOPB are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).
