LMX2694-EP: Package type

Part Number: LMX2694-EP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMX2615-SP

Hi,

LMX2694EP package type is VQFN(plastic). Besides, space enhanced version of 2694 (2694SEP) is using same package according to the datasheet. 

These packages are same quality level or not? Is there any difference in terms of plastic type/quality?

Regards,

  

 

  • Hi There,

    SEP is not intended for space application.

    The suffix for space application product is -SP.

    The package type of LMX2694EP and SEP are identical.

  • Hi Noel,

    Thank you very much for your valuable and quick answer.

    As far as I know SEP means "Space Enhanced Plastic". So we think it is intended for space. Could you please provide your idea about that?

    And I understand from your messsage that SEP and EP are identical in terms of package type  and its  manufacturing quality. Please confirm.

     

    Regards,

     

  • Hi There,

    Space application devices are usually in ceramic package (CFP) and with long leads. One of the examples is LMX2615-SP.

    LMX2694SEP is radiation hardened but not up to space qualification. 

    LMX2694EP can operate at extended temperature range but not up to radiation hardened qualification.

    If you want something that can survive in the orbit, you have to look after -SP parts.
