Texas Instruments LMX2531LQE
LMX2531LQE variants from Texas Instruments
LMX2531LQE Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Microcontrollers.
LMX2531LQE is a Texas Instruments order-code family — not a single orderable MPN. This page lists 6 variants that share the same core device but differ in suffix fields (package, grade, reel/tube, electrical bin, etc.). Pick the exact full part number; substituting within the family without checking the datasheet often causes assembly or spec mismatches.
PLL Frequency Synthesizer Single 1184MHz to 1268MHz 36-Pin LLP EP T/R Other listed variants describe: PLL Frequency Synthesizer Single 1268MHz to 1360MHz 36-Pin LLP EP T/R; IC PLL FREQ SYNTH W/VCO 36WQFN.
Suffix examples in this family: 1226E/NOPB, 1312E/NOPB, 1415E/NOPB, 1515E/NOPB, 2820E/NOPB, 3010E/NOPB. The characters after the base number usually encode package, temperature, or performance grade — compare the variant table column-by-column rather than assuming pin-compatible drops-in.
Example MPNs: LMX2531LQE1226E/NOPB, LMX2531LQE1312E/NOPB, LMX2531LQE1415E/NOPB, LMX2531LQE1515E/NOPB, LMX2531LQE2820E/NOPB, LMX2531LQE3010E/NOPB.
Key Features
- Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
- 6 distinct suffix patternsExamples: 1226E/NOPB, 1312E/NOPB, 1415E/NOPB, 1515E/NOPB, 2820E/NOPB (+1 more). Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.
Target Applications
- Microcontrollers — 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 Code Differences
How suffixes on LMX2531LQE map to package, grade, and reel options.
LMX2531LQE uses a shared prefix; characters after the prefix encode orderable options. Two lines with the same prefix are not drop-in replacements unless the differing columns match your need.
Suffixes seen here: 1226E/NOPB, 1312E/NOPB, 1415E/NOPB, 1515E/NOPB, 2820E/NOPB, 3010E/NOPB.
Full MPN examples: LMX2531LQE1226E/NOPB, LMX2531LQE1312E/NOPB, LMX2531LQE1415E/NOPB, LMX2531LQE1515E/NOPB, LMX2531LQE2820E/NOPB.
Tip: photograph or copy the reel label — reel diameter, QTY per reel, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) are often suffix-driven and won't show in the schematic.
How to Choose the Right LMX2531LQE Microcontrollers
Match the footprint first
Pull the exact package drawing for your MPN — base-number swaps fail most often at the footprint, not the schematic.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For LMX2531LQE, 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 "LMX2531LQE" — include the full suffix (e.g. 1226E/NOPB, 1312E/NOPB, 1415E/NOPB). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
