Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LM2733YMFX is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Function and topology (boost/step-up converter)
  • Output configuration (positive adjustable)
  • Input voltage range (2.7V to 14V minimum/maximum)
  • Output voltage range (2.7V to 40V minimum/maximum)
  • Output current capability (1A switch current)
  • Switching frequency (600kHz)
  • Package type (SC-74A, SOT-753 / SOT-23-5)
  • Operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C)
  • Synchronous rectifier configuration (none)

The LM2733YMFX/NOPB is identified as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and package compatibility. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LM2733YMFX/NOPB is the direct equivalent for the obsolete LM2733YMFX. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin and functional compatibility.

The primary advantage of selecting LM2733YMFX/NOPB is its active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification. The original LM2733YMFX is classified as obsolete and carries RoHS non-compliant status. For new designs or production continuity, LM2733YMFX/NOPB is the appropriate selection.

Both parts maintain identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), REACH unaffected status, and export classification (EAR99), ensuring no additional compliance or handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LM2733YMFX/NOPB be used as a direct replacement for LM2733YMFX?

A: Yes. The LM2733YMFX/NOPB is a direct substitute with identical electrical specifications, output voltage range (2.7V to 40V), output current (1A), switching frequency (600kHz), and SC-74A package configuration. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between LM2733YMFX and LM2733YMFX/NOPB?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. LM2733YMFX is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while LM2733YMFX/NOPB is active and ROHS3 compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Why is the original LM2733YMFX obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The LM2733YMFX/NOPB variant remains in active production and is the recommended selection for ongoing applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use the SC-74A (SOT-753) surface mount package with SOT-23-5 supplier device package designation. Footprint and pin configuration are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the "/NOPB" suffix?

A: The "/NOPB" suffix indicates the part is supplied without plumbum (lead-free). This designation is associated with RoHS3 compliance and modern manufacturing standards.

Q: Can these parts be used in applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: LM2733YMFX/NOPB is ROHS3 compliant and suitable for RoHS-regulated applications. The original LM2733YMFX is RoHS non-compliant and should not be used in applications with RoHS requirements.
