AI Summary

LP3966ES-3.3 by Texas Instruments: Linear Voltage Regulator IC Positive Fixed 1 Output 3A TO-263 (DDPAK-5).

This is the official lead-free and RoHS-compliant direct equivalent of the obsolete LP3966ES-3.3, offering identical performance and zero redesign risk.

  • Direct lead-free (RoHS) replacement from the original manufacturer (TI).
  • 100% identical physical dimensions and footprint (DDPAK-5).
  • Identical electrical characteristics and pin assignments including SENSE on Pin 5.

An exceptionally high-performance alternative from Analog Devices that serves as a direct, pin-compatible drop-in with superior electrical specifications.

  • True pin-compatible drop-in replacement with identical pinout (Pin 1 SHDN, Pin 5 SENSE).
  • Much wider input voltage range up to 20V (compared to 7V on the original).
  • Significantly lower typical quiescent current (1.5mA vs 9mA).
  • Higher unit cost compared to the original LP3966 series.

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.

  1. All your BOM, at once

    Parter maps every line to live stock, lead time, lifecycle and compliance data across the entire market — not part by part.

  2. Hear about problems before they hit production

    Allocation, EOL and last-time-buy notices surface the moment they appear, not when your buyer's PO bounces.

  3. Qualified replacements in minutes, not days

    Every at-risk line gets form-fit-function matches like the ones above — deltas flagged, evidence attached. Review, push to your BOM, and Parter starts watching the new part too.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The Texas Instruments LP3966ES-3.3 is marked obsolete, so the manufacturer has discontinued it and any remaining supply is limited to distributor stock. The qualified second sources on this page are active parts you can design in today.
