TPS7A4501-SP: MIL or commercial equivalent part number

Part Number: TPS7A4501-SP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS7A45

Hello,

What is the equivalent part for the above part for use in commercial power supplies?

  • Anjali,

    Can you share your extension only last four digits?

    Mitesh

  • Hey Anjali,

    The TPS7A45 has a 01 variant which is the commercial grade version of this device.

    Thanks,

    Daniel

  • Anjali,

    As Daniel noted, the commercial variant is the TPS7A45 and without the -SP.

    However, just to be clear, I want to provide the following information as it may be relevant to your use.

    TI cannot share wafer, die and process details specific to any device, as this information is proprietary. Typically there are differences between space and non-space devices (including mil and EP grade products). These differences can be in the form of process, layout, or design changes. These are done to improve radiation performance of space device. Please note that radiation performance for a non-space device can be significantly worse compared to space qualified device even though electrical performance is identical. In addition there are several factors on non-space device that makes it risky for space applications. Some of important factors:

    -          No single controlled baseline: Translates to high variability of radiation performance (commercial products)

    -          Mostly use copper bond-wire: May not be reliable for space environment (commercial products)

    -          No testing for radiation at lot level: High risk of getting devices that have poor radiation level (non-space products)


    Regards,

  • Thanks Daniel,

    I have one more query regarding this:- As I can see from the datasheet that the commercial part number is a 6 pin device with SOT package and the SP part is a 10 pin device in CFP package. Is the device not available in same footprint in both commercial as well as SP part.

  • Anjali,

    The space grade version is available in three variants.  Two ceramic packages, and a die only Known Good DIe (KGD).

    There is not a footprint that matches the commercial plastic device.
