LM2937: Considering replacement

Part Number: LM2937
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS7B83-Q1

Dear TI team

 

We are considering replacing ADI's product "LT1121CST-5#PBF" with "LM2937IMP-5.0/NOPB".

Is my understanding correct that they are pin compatible?

 

Also, when using "LM2937IMP-5.0/NOPB" over the entire operating  temperature range,

I understand that it is important to ensure a headroom voltage of 1.0V or higher, but is this correct?

 

Best Regards,

  • Hi Taroimo,

    Correct, LM2937IMP-5.0/NOPB is P2P with the competitor part and your observation about the headroom voltage is correct as well. However, have you looked into using TPS7B8350QDCYRQ1? This is also P2P and the VDO = 230mV over temperature range.

    Here is a quick spec comparison:

  • Hi Andres,

     

    Thank you for your prompt reply.

    We will also consider "TPS7B8350QDCYRQ1"
