LM337LMX Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The LM337LMX from Texas Instruments is a linear voltage regulator IC, specifically designed for negative adjustable output applications in Power Management (PMIC). Featuring one output, an adjustable negative voltage range, and a 100mA maximum output current, it is packaged in an 8-SOIC surface-mount format. The LM337LMX part is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating the identification of direct equivalents or substitutes to ensure continued support for existing designs requiring these precise electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the LM337LMX is determined strictly by matching all provided key electrical and mechanical parameters. Equivalent parts must maintain identical output configuration (negative), output type (adjustable), regulator count (1), input and output voltage ranges, output current capability, package outline (8-SOIC), mounting type, protection features, operating temperature, and compliance criteria (RoHS, REACH, MSL). Only substitutes meeting all these explicit parameters are included.
