Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LM360M is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Differential Comparator Architecture: Single element differential comparator configuration
• Output Configuration: Complementary TTL output type
• Supply Voltage Range: ±4.5V ~ 6.5V dual supply operation
• Electrical Performance: Input offset voltage maximum 5mV, input bias current maximum 20µA, output current 20mA typical, quiescent current maximum 32mA, propagation delay maximum 130ns
• Package Specification: 8-SOIC surface mount package with 0.154" (3.90mm) width
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1, REACH unaffected status

The LM360M/NOPB is a direct substitute, maintaining identical electrical specifications and package configuration while differing only in packaging format (tube versus unspecified) and product status (Active versus Last Time Buy).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LM360M/NOPB is a direct functional equivalent to the LM360M. Both parts are manufactured by Texas Instruments and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the LM360M is designated Last Time Buy, while the LM360M/NOPB maintains Active status, indicating continued availability and manufacturing support.

For new designs or long-term production requirements, the LM360M/NOPB is the appropriate selection due to its Active product status and assured supply continuity. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH regulatory requirements, with MSL Level 1 classification permitting unlimited shelf life under controlled storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the difference between LM360M and LM360M/NOPB? A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary difference is packaging format (tube for LM360M/NOPB) and product lifecycle status. LM360M/NOPB is Active, while LM360M is Last Time Buy.

Q: Can LM360M/NOPB be used as a direct replacement for LM360M in existing designs? A: Yes. The LM360M/NOPB is a direct substitute with identical electrical specifications, pin configuration, and 8-SOIC package dimensions. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts? A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL Level 1 classification. Regulatory status is identical.

Q: What supply voltage range does the LM360M support? A: The LM360M operates with dual supply voltages in the range of ±4.5V to ±6.5V.

Q: What is the maximum propagation delay specification? A: The maximum propagation delay is 130ns for both the LM360M and LM360M/NOPB.

Q: Is the 8-SOIC package suitable for automated assembly? A: Yes. The 8-SOIC package is a standard surface mount package with 0.154" (3.90mm) width, compatible with standard pick-and-place and reflow soldering processes.
