1. LM86CIMMX/NOPB Substitution Conclusion
The LM86CIMMX/NOPB is not recommended as a direct substitute in most applications. While it shares interface compatibility (SMBus), supply voltage range (3.0V to 3.6V), and package (8-TSSOP) with the original part, there are critical performance discrepancies. The LM86's local and remote temperature measurement range is limited to 0°C to 85°C. In contrast, the original EMC1072 supports a local range of -40°C to 125°C and a significantly wider remote range (-64°C to 191°C). Consequently, the LM86 is unsuitable for environmental monitoring below 0°C or above 85°C. Furthermore, its specified accuracy (±3°C) is notably inferior to the EMC1072's best-case accuracy (±1°C), which would introduce greater absolute error in system temperature readings. Substitution may only be considered in constrained applications where the temperature range is non-critical and the reduced accuracy is acceptable.
2. LM90CIMMX/NOPB Substitution Conclusion
The LM90CIMMX/NOPB is fundamentally unsuitable for direct substitution. Beyond sharing the same core limitation as the LM86—inability to meet the original part's wide temperature range requirement (e.g., local 0°C vs. -40°C)—its most critical disadvantage is further degraded accuracy. With a specified accuracy of ±4°C compared to the EMC1072's optimal ±1°C, the LM90 can exhibit a total error band of up to 8°C at a given temperature point. For applications relying on precise temperature monitoring for functions like overtemperature protection, fan control, or system performance throttling, this level of inaccuracy can readily lead to system malfunction or degraded reliability. Its use as a replacement for the original component is not advised.
