Is the LM3886 now obsolete?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM3886

I tried accessing the LM3886 product page and data sheet yesterday and found that I "met resistance" (i.e. no page found). The part number field here on E2E also doesn't recognize LM3886 or LM3886TF. I haven't seen any official EOL notice from any of the distributors, so I sincerely hope it's just a glitch rather than the LM3886 being EOL. Would anyone with some official insight please let me know what the official status of the LM3886T and LM3886TF is?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,

I can confirm that this part is still active. I have reached out to our web team to look into why the page is down. Thanks for the heads up on that!

Regards,

Alex

Why is the datasheet removed?

Everything should be back online now. Please let me know if you notice anything missing.

Thanks. I was a bit worried because I'm working on a LM3886 design. Any forecast when the part will become withdrawn?

Hi peranders,

I am aware of no plans to withdraw this part or make any changes to its active status anytime in the future. Additionally, TI does not typically withdraw parts, and instead marks them "not recommended for new design", in which case the device is still available and being produced by TI. This is not even the case for LM3886, however, as it is in active status.

Regards,

Alex
