LP2996M DDR Termination Regulator - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LP2996M is a DDR terminator PMIC manufactured by Texas Instruments in an 8-SOIC surface mount package. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations. The LP2996M provides DDR termination regulation across a 2.2V to 5.5V supply voltage range with a maximum supply current of 320µA, operating reliably across the 0°C to 125°C industrial temperature range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LP2996M is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Identical package type: 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
• Matching supply voltage range: 2.2V ~ 5.5V
• Equivalent or lower supply current: 320µA maximum
• Identical operating temperature range: 0°C ~ 125°C
• Surface mount mounting type
• Equivalent or superior RoHS compliance status
• Identical functional application: DDR termination regulation

Only parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. The LP2996M/NOPB variant qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete parameter alignment and identical base product number (LP2996).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LP2996M/NOPB is the qualified direct substitute for the obsolete LP2996M. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, thermal operating range, and package geometry. The primary distinction is product status: LP2996M/NOPB maintains active manufacturing status with current inventory availability (2058 pcs), whereas the LP2996M is obsolete with limited remaining stock (2267 pcs).

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for new designs and legacy system support. The LP2996M/NOPB is supplied in tube packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LP2996M/NOPB be used as a direct replacement for LP2996M?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical performance, thermal range, package type, and functional application. The LP2996M/NOPB is the active production variant of the same base product (LP2996).

Q: What is the difference between LP2996M and LP2996M/NOPB?

A: The suffix "/NOPB" indicates lead-free, RoHS-compliant packaging without plumbum (lead). Both variants meet ROHS3 compliance. The primary difference is product lifecycle status: LP2996M is obsolete, while LP2996M/NOPB is actively manufactured.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences?

A: No. Both parts use the identical 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) package with matching pinout and mechanical dimensions.

Q: What supply voltage range does this DDR terminator support?

A: The LP2996M and LP2996M/NOPB both operate across a 2.2V to 5.5V supply voltage range, suitable for DDR memory termination applications.

Q: Is the LP2996M/NOPB suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. The LP2996M/NOPB maintains active product status and is recommended for new designs requiring DDR termination regulation in the specified voltage and temperature range.
