LM4120: alternate

Part Number: LM4120
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: REF4132, REF35

Hello,

Can you recommend alternates for LTB parts LM4120 and LM4125A?

Let me know if there are multiple suitable options.

  • Hello,

    What voltage levels are you looking for?

    For most voltage outputs, the REF4132 is a drop in replacement for the LM4120 and is also what I would suggest as an alternate for the LM4125A.

    However, if your output voltage is less than 2.5 V, I would suggest the REF35, which has a 6 pin SOT23 package rather than a 5 pin SOT23 package, but has 1.8 V and 2.048 V options.

    Both the REF4132 and the REF35 meet or improve upon the LM4120 and LM4125A specifications.

    If there are any other questions please let me know.

    Thanks,
    Jackson

  • Hi Jackson,

    Thanks for the insight. For the REF4132, what happens if the EN pin is left floating? Will the part still work or will it be unpredictable?

  • You should input the correct voltage on the ENABLE pin for the REF4132 as described in the datasheet. I would not leave it floating.
