Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '2.9' confirms the fixed 2.9 V output voltage variant, as other suffixes indicate different output levels. Ensure the 'E' designator matches the required DSBGA-6 package type. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the official datasheet before integration. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to ensure authenticity and traceability.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 2.9 V rail is required with up to 600 mA load capability. The 6 MHz frequency allows for smaller inductors compared to lower-frequency alternatives. Consider the DSBGA-6 package constraints for PCB layout. Verify that the input voltage source remains within the 2.3 V to 5.5 V operational window for stable regulation.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Part Context

This part belongs to the LM8801 family of high-precision synchronous DC-DC converters. The family offers various fixed output voltage options distinguished by their ordering suffixes. All variants share the same core architecture, including the 600 mA current rating and 6 MHz switching frequency, designed for space-constrained portable applications.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Replacement Considerations

Other LM8801 variants with different output voltages (e.g., LM8801TME-1.2/NOPB) are pin-compatible but provide different fixed outputs. Direct functional replacement requires matching the specific 2.9 V output requirement.
