Part Number: LM4861

Hi Team,

There is two spec θJa in the LM4861 datasheet as following, M08A and N08E.

Which θJa should be used as thermal resistance?

Hi, Onawa-san,

The θJa thermal spec depends of the device being used.

The θJa - M08A applies to the LM4861MX and LM4861M.
The θJa - N08E applies to the LM4861MX/NOPB and LM4861M/NOPB.

Hi Luis-san,

Thanks for your prompt response.

OK, I understood that. One quick question.

All version looks same package though, Why is there a difference in thermal resistance?

Hi, Onawa-san,

There are some differences on the ball finish and moisture sensitivity humidity that result in a different thermal resistance.
