TMI
A pin-compatible alternative from the same manufacturer with identical key electrical parameters.
TMI3410 is a popular 2A, 1MHz synchronous buck converter in a SOT23-5 package. This page provides verified alternatives and functional replacements to help with design and sourcing.
Low for pin-compatible parts like STI3411A. High for others due to frequency and voltage differences requiring redesign.
All presented candidates use the same SOT23-5 package, but pinout must be verified for non-pin-compatible options.
Having multiple functional alternatives from different vendors (TMI, ETA, BL) improves supply chain resilience.
Direct replacement for TMI3410 should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
For a direct drop-in, use STI3411A. For other options, several functional alternatives exist but require careful review of the switching frequency and external components.
The main risk when substituting DC-DC converters is a mismatch in switching frequency, which impacts external component values, efficiency, and EMI.

| Feature / factor | TMI3410 | STI3411A | ETA3448S2F | BL8039CB5TR | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | SOT23-5 | SOT23-5 | SOT23-5 | SOT23-5 | SOT23-5 — Package matches.; ETA3448S2F: Package matches.; BL8039CB5TR: Package matches. |
| Pinout | SW,GND,FB,IN,EN | Identical per datasheet | Unknown | Unknown | Identical per datasheet / Unknown — Datasheet explicitly states pinout is identical to TMI3410.; ETA3448S2F: Pinout must be verified against target.; BL8039CB5TR: Pinout must be verified against target. |
| Voltage | 2.5V to 5.5V | 2.5V to 6.0V | - | 2.6V to 5.5V | 2.5V to 6.0V / 2.6V to 5.5V — Candidate has a slightly wider input voltage range.; BL8039CB5TR: Minimum input voltage is slightly higher (2.6V vs 2.5V). |
| Current | 2.0A | 2.0A | 3.0A | - | 2.0A / 3.0A — Output current matches.; ETA3448S2F: Higher output current provides an upgrade path. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.0MHz | 1.0MHz | 2.0MHz | 2.0MHz | 1.0MHz / 2.0MHz — Switching frequency matches.; ETA3448S2F: Frequency is 2x target, requires redesign of external L/C components.; BL8039CB5TR: Frequency is 2x target, requires redesign of external L/C components. |
Verified drop-in options for TMI3410 are limited in the current batch. Review candidates marked Strong match or Datasheet verified, and validate package, pinout, and electrical limits before committing a BOM change.
