LM5123EVM-BST: Chip Replacement

Part Number: LM5123EVM-BST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM51231-Q1

Hi team,

Is it possible to replace LM5123 into LM51231-Q1? If yes, is there any required technical dealing?

Best Regards,

Shoji

  • Hello Shoji,
    Thanks for reaching out to us via e2e.

    The LM51231 is NOT just a newer version of the LM5123.
    It has a different feature set.
    So, it depends on your application which part fits better.
    The LM5123 is a low quiescent current device while the LM51231 has been modified for Class-H Audio amplifiers.

  • Hi Harry,

    Okay, I'll explain the situation. So, could you move this thread to the internal forum if you want to know more specific requirements? The customer has started the design with LM51231-Q1, so in this phase, they don't want to consider other device. So, I'd like to quickly check if LM51231-Q1 will work on this EVM because there is not LM51231-Q1 EVM.

    But for the next future step, I'd like to know the differences between them. In my understandings, LM5123 is focused on its low I_q, and LM51231 is focused on thermal or efficiency because it has bypass mode. Is this correct?

    Best Regards,

  • Hello Shoji,

    The LM5123 is the Low-IQ device whereas the LM51231 has changes that were made especially for Class-H audio amplifier applications.

    I have sent you a presentation via email.

    Best regards

    Harry
