LM4040: vs LM4040-N

Part Number: LM4040

Hi

What is the difference between LM4040 and LM4040-N? (For example LM4040A30IDBZT vs LM4040AIM3-3.0/NOPB) It seems to be the same part (except minimum current), but they're treated as two separate products, at different price levels.

Thank you,

Heinrich

  • Hi Heinrich,

    Texas Instruments and National Semiconductor pre-merger created a LM4040 device. After the merger, to differentiate the devices, we added a "-N" to specify which originated from National for customers that were originally using that device. While both do offer similar specifications, they do also offer some differences in options offered. For example we offer the LM4040-N in AEC Q100 automotive grade but we do not for the LM4040.

    Thanks,
    Abhinav.
