Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'NOPB' confirms lead-free and RoHS compliance status as per manufacturer documentation. Confirm the HTSSOP-14 package outline matches your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range meets your application's thermal constraints. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compatibility with your design specifications.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when an input voltage between 2.95V and 5.5V is required with up to 6A continuous load. The integrated synchronous rectifiers make it suitable for applications demanding high efficiency without external MOSFETs. The synchronization pin allows for phase shifting or clock alignment in multi-rail systems. Consider the fixed 410kHz frequency for passive component sizing.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Part Context

This part belongs to the LM20136 family of synchronous buck regulators from Texas Instruments. It is designed to replace older non-synchronous solutions in low-voltage, high-current applications. The device simplifies design by integrating the control logic and power switches into a single compact package, reducing board space and component count.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as the LM20136MHBX/NOPB if different packaging is needed. Verify functional compatibility with other members of the LM20136 series before substitution.
