LV3401DM-TLM-E

Overview

The LV3401DM-TLM-E is an RF integrated circuit comparator manufactured by onsemi, specifically designed for FM tuner applications. Classified under Multimedia ICs and Wireless & RF Integrated Circuits, this component functions as a band-pass filter (BPF) for FM VICS tuners. The device utilizes Silicon technology and is housed in a surface-mount package. It is currently listed as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer, with discontinuance notifications available in public documentation.

Feature Summary

• Functions as an RF comparator within FM tuner circuits
• Serves as a band-pass filter for FM VICS tuner applications
• Utilizes Silicon-based semiconductor technology

Applications

• FM tuner signal processing
• VICS (Vehicle Information Communication System) receiver modules
• RF filtering in multimedia communication devices

Procurement Notes

This component is officially discontinued and no longer manufactured by onsemi. Public records indicate end-of-life status with product discontinuance notifications. Availability is restricted to remaining stock from third-party distributors or secondary markets. Verification of authenticity and storage conditions is critical due to the component's obsolete status and potential age. Sourcing should focus on verified surplus suppliers rather than direct manufacturer channels.

Selection Notes

Designers must account for the obsolete status when selecting this part, as long-term supply is not guaranteed. Alternative solutions requiring similar RF comparator functionality for FM tuners should be evaluated. Compatibility checks with existing BPF specifications are necessary if substituting with newer generations. The lack of active manufacturing support means design-in support and technical assistance may be limited compared to active components.

Part Context

The LV3401DM-TLM-E belongs to onsemi's portfolio of RF and multimedia integrated circuits. It falls under the subcategory of wireless and RF ICs, specifically targeting tuner applications. The component represents legacy silicon technology used in earlier generation FM reception systems. Its classification highlights its role in signal conditioning within consumer electronics and automotive information systems.

Replacement Considerations

Public documentation confirms the LV3401DM-TLM-E is obsolete. No specific substitute part numbers are explicitly confirmed in the provided source material. Designers should consult onsemi's official obsolescence notices for recommended alternatives or contact the manufacturer directly for current replacement guidance.
