Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TLE2426CLPR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Reference Type: Ground Reference (Virtual)
• Output Type: Adjustable
• Voltage Output Range: 2V to 20V
• Output Current Capability: 20mA minimum
• Tolerance: ±1% or better
• Temperature Coefficient: 35ppm/°C or lower
• Noise Performance: 120µVrms or lower (10Hz to 10kHz)
• Input Voltage Range: 4V ~ 40V
• Supply Current: 400µA or lower
• Operating Temperature Range: 0°C ~ 70°C minimum
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package: TO-92-3 compatible

The TLE2426CLP qualifies as a direct substitute, meeting all electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in packaging format (Bulk versus Cut Tape).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TLE2426CLP is a qualified substitute for the TLE2426CLPR. Both components are manufactured by Texas Instruments and maintain identical electrical specifications and functional performance. The distinction between these parts is limited to packaging format: the TLE2426CLPR is supplied in Cut Tape format, while the TLE2426CLP is supplied in Bulk packaging.

Both parts carry Last Time Buy status, indicating that neither component will be manufactured indefinitely. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for current applications.

Selection between these two parts should be based on procurement requirements and assembly process compatibility. Cut Tape packaging is suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly, while Bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly or alternative handling processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TLE2426CLP replace TLE2426CLPR in existing designs?

A: Yes. The TLE2426CLP is electrically and functionally identical to the TLE2426CLPR. Both components deliver the same voltage reference performance, output current capability, and operating characteristics. The only difference is packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape and Bulk packaging?

A: Cut Tape packaging supplies components on adhesive tape in individual strips, optimized for automated assembly equipment. Bulk packaging supplies loose components, suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling methods. Electrical performance is identical.

Q: Are both parts still in production?

A: Both the TLE2426CLPR and TLE2426CLP carry Last Time Buy status, indicating limited future availability. New designs should consider long-term component sourcing strategy.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in my PCB design?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process is compatible with the packaging format. Both parts use identical TO-92-3 package geometry and pin configuration, allowing direct substitution at the board level.
