Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the S-L2980A36MC-TF-G is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Fixed output voltage of 3.6V
• Output current capability of 150mA
• Maximum input voltage of 10V
• Dropout voltage specification of 0.14V @ 50mA
• SOT-23-5 package configuration
• Positive output configuration with single regulator
• Enable control feature
• Operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 85°C
• ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating

The substitute part S-L2980A36MC-TF-U meets all these electrical and mechanical parameters identically, with the primary distinction being its Active product status versus the Not For New Designs status of the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The S-L2980A36MC-TF-U is the direct parametric equivalent for the S-L2980A36MC-TF-G. Both parts are manufactured by ABLIC Inc. within the same S-L2980 series and share identical electrical specifications and package configuration. The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support, whereas the original part is designated Not For New Designs. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, meeting regulatory and environmental requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and supply chain considerations, as they are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can S-L2980A36MC-TF-U be used as a direct replacement for S-L2980A36MC-TF-G?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical performance and package configuration. The substitute part is the same series with Active product status.

Q: What is the difference between the -TF-G and -TF-U suffix designations?

A: The suffix indicates packaging and tape reel configuration. Both use Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with SOT-23-5 configuration. The difference reflects manufacturing lot or supply chain designation.

Q: Are there any thermal or performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C ~ 85°C), dropout voltage (0.14V @ 50mA), quiescent current (1 µA), and PSRR (65dB at 1kHz).

Q: Is the SOT-23-5 package compatible with existing PCB layouts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the same SOT-23-5 (SC-74A) surface mount package, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility and identical footprint requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Why is the original part marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part has reached end-of-life status. The substitute part with Active status is recommended for ongoing production and new applications.
