[FAQ] LM5176-Q1: Automotive and non-automotive part compatibility

Part Number: LM5176-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5176,

Hi,

I'd just like to confirm that the automotive variants of the LM5176 are 100% compatible as a drop-in replacement for the non-automotive variants? I.e. my design uses an LM5176PWPR, but due to stock shortages, I'd like to instead use the LM5176QPWPRQ1 as I'm still able to find some of these in stock.

Thanks!

  • Hello,

    Thanks for your question. From the silicon point of view, there is no difference between the LM5176 and the LM5176-Q1. The only thing that you should double check is the packaging as the LM5176 is available in both HTSSOP and QFN, while the LM5176-Q1 only in HTSSOP. The LM5176PWPR and the LM5176PWPRQ1 have the same packaging therefore there is no issue. Let me know if I can help you furthermore.  

    Kind regards,

    Elisabetta
