Equivalent & Substitute Parts for LP38841S-1.5

Part Overview

The LP38841S-1.5 from Texas Instruments is a Power Management IC (PMIC) specifically designed as a linear, positive, fixed voltage regulator, delivering 1.5V output at up to 800mA in a TO-263 (DDPAK-5) surface-mount package. The part status is Obsolete, which makes identifying compatible and direct alternative models necessary for continued support, ongoing production, or replacement in maintenance scenarios. Substitute parts are required to ensure circuit compatibility, maintain compliance, and facilitate procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is based strictly on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment within the Power Management IC category. The substitute part, LP38841S-1.5/NOPB, is grouped as an equivalent due to matching these key parameters: manufacturer, output configuration, number of regulators, output voltage, maximum input voltage, dropout voltage at load, output current, regulator architecture, control and protection features, operating temperature range, surface-mount TO-263 (DDPAK-5) package, and moisture sensitivity. RoHS and REACH compliance status are also considered for process compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LP38841S-1.5 has an obsolete status and is not RoHS compliant. For new designs or ongoing production, LP38841S-1.5/NOPB is a suitable substitute due to its active status and ROHS3 compliance. Both parts have matching moisture sensitivity levels and package configuration, facilitating direct process compatibility. Regulatory and environmental certifications such as RoHS and REACH vary and must be matched to application requirements.
