Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the LP3965ES-ADJ is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Output configuration (Positive)
  • Output type (Adjustable)
  • Voltage specifications (Input Max: 7V; Output range: 1.216V to 5.1V)
  • Current rating (1.5A output)
  • Package type (TO-263 DDPAK-5)
  • Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
  • Protection features (Over Current, Over Temperature, Short Circuit)
  • Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C)
  • Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

The LP3965ES-ADJ/NOPB is identified as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and package configuration. The primary distinction is product status and packaging format.
