Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LM2831XMF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Topology: Buck (step-down) switching regulator
  • Output configuration: Positive adjustable
  • Input voltage range: 3V to 5.5V
  • Output voltage range: 0.6V to 4.5V
  • Output current capability: 1.5A
  • Switching frequency: 1.6MHz
  • Package type: SC-74A (SOT-753) / SOT-23-5
  • Mounting: Surface mount
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C

The LM2831XMF/NOPB is identified as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and package configuration. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification.
