AD526JN Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AD526JN is a Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., configured as a single-circuit operational amplifier in a 16-pin DIP package. This device is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited availability through standard distribution channels. The AD526JN operates across a wide supply voltage range (9V to 33V) with a slew rate of 24V/µs and -3dB bandwidth of 4 MHz, making it suitable for precision analog signal conditioning applications requiring programmable gain control. Due to its obsolete status, identification of equivalent substitute parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications is necessary for design continuity and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AD526JN is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical performance parameters and mechanical form factors. The primary substitution criterion is the maintenance of identical specifications for amplifier type (Programmable Gain), circuit count (1), slew rate (24V/µs), bandwidth (-3dB at 4 MHz), input bias current (50 pA), input offset voltage (400 µV), supply current (10 mA), output current per channel (10 mA), supply voltage range (9V to 33V minimum, 33V maximum), operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C), and package configuration (16-DIP through-hole mounting).

The AD526JNZ qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete electrical parameter equivalence and identical mechanical packaging. The key differentiating factors between the main part and its substitute are product status (obsolete versus active) and packaging format (unspecified versus tube), along with enhanced compliance certifications on the substitute part (RoHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected status).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AD526JNZ is the direct equivalent substitute for the AD526JN. Both parts share identical electrical specifications and mechanical packaging, ensuring functional interchangeability in circuit applications. The AD526JNZ is preferred for new designs and procurement due to its active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The AD526JNZ carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting modern environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components in regulated markets.

For applications requiring the AD526JN, the AD526JNZ provides equivalent performance with enhanced compliance certifications and active production status. The tube packaging format of the AD526JNZ is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments. Both parts maintain identical through-hole 16-DIP package configuration, allowing direct substitution without PCB redesign.
