Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M6X' matches the required SOT-23-6 packaging configuration. Confirm that the NOPB designation indicates lead-free compliance if environmental standards are mandatory. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the intended application environment, as the component is rated for industrial temperatures up to 85°C. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official distributor catalogs to avoid counterfeit components.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when an inductor-less solution is required for voltage doubling applications. The 20 mA output current limit defines its suitability for low-power loads such as communication interface chips. Consider the 200 kHz switching frequency for EMI constraints relative to nearby sensitive circuitry. The SOT-23-6 footprint offers a compact alternative to larger packages while maintaining thermal performance for this power level.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Part Context

The LM2766 belongs to Texas Instruments' family of switched capacitor voltage converters. These devices are designed to replace bulky inductive DC-DC converters in space-constrained portable electronics. The M6X variant specifically denotes the small outline transistor package suitable for automated surface-mount assembly processes.
