LMH0002MA Video Serial Driver IC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LMH0002MA is a video serial driver IC designed for DVB-ASI and SMPTE applications in consumer video systems. This component functions as a serial driver within an 8-SOIC surface mount package. The main part number LMH0002MA is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LMH0002MA is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Identical base product number (LMH0002)
• Matching supply voltage range (3.135V ~ 3.465V)
• Identical package type (8-SOIC with 0.154" / 3.90mm width)
• Equivalent functional classification (Driver)
• Compliance with DVB-ASI and SMPTE standards
• Serial control interface compatibility
• Surface mount mounting type

The LMH0002MA/NOPB qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is product status and RoHS compliance level.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LMH0002MA/NOPB is the direct equivalent for the obsolete LMH0002MA. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

For new designs and systems requiring regulatory compliance, the LMH0002MA/NOPB is the appropriate choice due to its active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and package dimensions, ensuring direct functional compatibility.

For legacy system maintenance where existing inventory of LMH0002MA is available, the obsolete variant remains electrically equivalent. However, long-term availability is not assured for the non-compliant version.

Both parts carry identical REACH Unaffected status and ECCN classification (5A991B1), with equivalent HTSUS coding (8542.39.0001).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LMH0002MA/NOPB be used as a direct replacement for LMH0002MA?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, supply voltage range (3.135V ~ 3.465V), package type (8-SOIC), and functional classification. The LMH0002MA/NOPB is the active production equivalent.

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

A: The "/NOPB" designation indicates the part is supplied in Tube packaging and meets ROHS3 compliance requirements. The base LMH0002MA lacks this compliance certification.

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

A: No. Both parts use the identical 8-SOIC package with 0.154" (3.90mm) width. Pinout and mechanical dimensions are equivalent.

Q: Why is the original LMH0002MA listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence typically reflects manufacturer discontinuation of non-compliant variants in favor of RoHS-compliant alternatives. The LMH0002MA/NOPB represents the current active production line.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: The LMH0002MA/NOPB has confirmed active inventory (2022 Pcs). The obsolete LMH0002MA should not be specified for new procurement due to limited availability and discontinued status.

Q: Do both parts meet the same standards and certifications?

A: Both parts comply with DVB-ASI and SMPTE standards. The LMH0002MA/NOPB additionally meets ROHS3 compliance and maintains identical REACH Unaffected status.
