Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LM360MX is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Differential comparator topology with single element configuration
  • Complementary TTL output stage
  • Supply voltage range: ±4.5V ~ 6.5V
  • Input offset voltage maximum: 5mV
  • Input bias current maximum: 20µA
  • Output current typical: 20mA
  • Quiescent current maximum: 32mA
  • Propagation delay maximum: 130ns
  • Operating temperature range: 0°C ~ 70°C
  • 8-SOIC surface mount package (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
  • ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

Parts meeting all these specifications are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LM360MX/NOPB is a direct parametric equivalent to the LM360MX. Both parts are manufactured by Texas Instruments and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: the LM360MX is Last Time Buy, while the LM360MX/NOPB maintains Active status.

For new designs and long-term production requirements, the LM360MX/NOPB is the recommended selection due to its active product status and confirmed availability. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, ensuring regulatory compliance across applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LM360MX/NOPB be used as a direct replacement for LM360MX?

A: Yes. The LM360MX/NOPB is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical characteristics, pin configuration, and package specifications. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What does the "/NOPB" suffix indicate?

A: The "/NOPB" suffix denotes "No Plumbum" (lead-free) packaging, indicating compliance with lead-free manufacturing standards. This does not affect electrical performance or compatibility.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use the 8-SOIC surface mount package with identical 0.154" (3.90mm) width and pin configuration. PCB layout and footprints are interchangeable.

Q: Why is the LM360MX marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The LM360MX/NOPB remains in active production and is the recommended alternative for ongoing supply.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the LM360MX and LM360MX/NOPB are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
