Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key electrical specifications of the LM1036M?
The LM1036M features 2 channels, 2 bands of tone control (bass and treble), 75 dB channel separation, and a harmonic distortion of only 0.06%. It is housed in a SOP-20 (R-PDSO-G20) package and is designed for DC operation in consumer audio circuits.
What applications is the LM1036M best suited for?
The LM1036M is designed for consumer audio applications including car audio systems, portable radios, home stereo amplifiers, CD players, and cassette decks. Its integrated tone, volume, and balance control functions make it ideal as a preamplifier control stage in both battery-powered and mains-powered audio equipment.
What package type does the LM1036M use and what are the alternatives?
The LM1036M comes in a 20-pin Small Outline Package (SOP-20), which is compatible with standard SMD assembly processes. Common alternatives for dual tone control ICs include the LM1036N (DIP-20 through-hole variant) and other audio control ICs from Texas Instruments or similar manufacturers offering comparable bass, treble, and volume control functionality.
Is the LM1036M RoHS compliant?
Based on available data, the LM1036M carries a Pbfree Code of 'No' and a JESD-609 Code of 'e0', indicating it is not a lead-free (RoHS compliant) part. Customers requiring RoHS-compliant alternatives should consult Texas Instruments for recommended drop-in replacements or check for updated part variants.
