1. EMC1072-1-ACZL-TR Substitution Conclusion
This part is a viable substitute and offers significantly superior performance compared to the original LM86. However, attention must be paid to software address compatibility. The EMC1072 comprehensively outperforms the LM86 in key performance parameters: it features a wider operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C vs. 0°C to 85°C), enabling reliable operation in harsher environments; it provides higher temperature accuracy (±1°C vs. ±3°C) and resolution (11-bit vs. 7/10-bit), resulting in more precise temperature measurement and finer data granularity; and its remote temperature measurement range (-64°C to 191°C) is far superior. The two devices are fully compatible in terms of interface (SMBus), supply voltage (3.0V to 3.6V), and package (8-MSOP). The primary differences are that the EMC1072 lacks a dedicated "Shutdown Mode," which may be a limitation in applications requiring ultra-low-power shutdown states. Most critically, the SMBus device addresses are highly likely to differ. The slave address configuration in the driver software must be modified to ensure proper communication.
2. EMC1402-2-ACZL-TR Substitution Conclusion
This part is also a viable substitute. Its performance is comparable to the EMC1072 and superior to the original LM86. Similar attention to software address compatibility is required, and its multi-channel nature may introduce design headroom or connection differences. Based on the provided parameters, the EMC1402-2 is identical to the EMC1072-1 in all compared aspects: temperature range, accuracy, resolution, interface, voltage, and package. Therefore, its performance advantages over the LM86 are exactly the same. The part number "EMC1402" typically denotes a device supporting two remote temperature sensor channels (whereas the EMC1072 is a single remote channel), integrating two remote temperature measurement inputs internally. When only a single remote channel is required (as in an LM86 application), this additional channel can be treated as design margin or left unconnected. It is imperative to reconfirm that its SMBus device address differs from the LM86's and to modify the software accordingly. If there are no additional cost constraints, the EMC1402 offers future expansion flexibility.
