Texas Instruments LM2940S
LM2940S variants from Texas Instruments
LM2940S Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Integrated Circuits (ICs).
Key Features
- Footprint / package: TO-263-4, D²Pak (3 Leads + Tab), TO-263AASingle package option across listed variants; still confirm reel vs tube suffix if you auto-insert.
- Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
- 3 distinct suffix patternsExamples: 8.0/NOPB, 12/NOPB, 5.0. Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.
Target Applications
- Integrated Circuits (ICs) — design-in and field replacement
- BOM scrub where only the base prefix is known but suffix is TBD
- Second-source checks when the original MPN is constrained
Ordering Variants
Compare 3 LM2940S part numbers by package, electrical parameters, lifecycle, and availability. Use RFQ for stock and lead-time confirmation.
| Part Number | Description | Package Type | Manufacturer | Lifecycle | RoHS | Availability | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LM2940S-8.0/NOPB | Package: TO-263-4, D²Pak (3 Leads + Tab), TO-263AA | Mounting Type: Surface Mount | Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 125°C | Output Type: Fixed | Voltage Input Max: 26V | Supplier Device Package: DDPAK/TO-263-3 | TO-263-4, D²Pak (3 Leads + Tab), TO-263AA | Texas Instruments | Active | Compliant | In Stock | |
| LM2940S-12/NOPB | 12V LDO Regulator, 1A, 26V In, TO-263, 66dB PSRR | - | Texas Instruments | Active | Compliant | In Stock | |
| LM2940S-5.0 | 5V 1A LDO Voltage Regulator, 500mV Dropout, TO-263 | - | Texas Instruments | Active | Compliant | In Stock |

How to Choose the Right LM2940S Integrated Circuits (ICs)
Match the footprint first
Packages here: TO-263-4, D²Pak (3 Leads + Tab), TO-263AA. Open the land-pattern drawing before you substitute a different suffix.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For LM2940S, a suffix with lower voltage or current rating will not survive the same circuit without recalculation.
Temp grade letter matters
Commercial (0–70 °C) and industrial (−40–85 °C+) suffixes look similar in the prefix — confirm ambient + self-heating, not just the first page of the datasheet.
Copy the full MPN
Do not BOM only "LM2940S" — include the full suffix (e.g. 8.0/NOPB, 12/NOPB, 5.0). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
