Hello Takaki-san,

In addition to the current policy, it is possible that LM337T/NOPB will be refreshed down the line (2026 or later). However, we don't have a firm date as of now. Can they use a different lead-free package like LM337IMPX/NOPB?

TPS74401RGWR is a non-P2P alternative for the other two devices.
