Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the LP3855ES-ADJ is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Output current capability: 1.5A
  • Adjustable output voltage range: 1.23V to 6.6V
  • Maximum input voltage: 7V
  • Package type: TO-263 (DDPAK-5)
  • Surface Mount configuration
  • Protection features: Over Current, Over Temperature, Short Circuit
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 125°C

The LP3855ES-ADJ/NOPB qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and package configuration. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LP3855ES-ADJ/NOPB is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete LP3855ES-ADJ. Both parts share identical electrical performance specifications and physical packaging. The LP3855ES-ADJ/NOPB carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

For new designs or production transitions, the LP3855ES-ADJ/NOPB is the appropriate selection. This part meets ROHS3 compliance requirements and is REACH Affected, aligning with current regulatory standards. The obsolete LP3855ES-ADJ should be phased out in favor of the active equivalent to maintain supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LP3855ES-ADJ/NOPB be used as a direct replacement for LP3855ES-ADJ?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same output current (1.5A), adjustable voltage range (1.23V to 6.6V), maximum input voltage (7V), and TO-263 package configuration. The primary difference is product status and regulatory compliance.

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

A: The "/NOPB" designation indicates the part is supplied in Tube packaging and meets current RoHS3 compliance standards. The base LP3855ES-ADJ without this suffix is classified as Obsolete.

Q: Are there any package differences between these parts?

A: Both parts use the TO-263-6 (D2PAK with 5 Leads + Tab) package for Surface Mount applications. Pin configuration and PCB footprint are identical.

Q: What protection features are included in both parts?

A: Both the LP3855ES-ADJ and LP3855ES-ADJ/NOPB include Over Current, Over Temperature, and Short Circuit protection.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these regulators?

A: Both parts operate across -40°C to 125°C, suitable for industrial and commercial applications.
