LM2596: Difference between LM2596SX-12/NOPB.B and LM2596SX-12/NOPB

Siby Ettikalayil Varghese

Part Number: LM2596

Tool/software:

I want to use 12V fixed LM2596.

In the datasheet of LM2596, there are 2 parts. They are LM2596SX-12/NOPB.B and LM2596SX-12/NOPB.

The temperature range of LM2596SX-12/NOPB.B is mentioned in the datasheet.

But the Operating temperature range of LM2596SX-12/NOPB is missing.

Someone please explain what is the difference.

Hello Siby,

The ".B" character designates that this device has a specialized manufacturing flow. See more information in the following link:

There are no Op Temp mentioned in datasheet for the part without B. May I know what is the operating temperature? Is it a mistake in the datasheet?

Hello,

Operating temperature is applicable to both variants, refer to operating condition table in the datasheet.
