AD536AKD RMS to DC Converter Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AD536AKD is an RMS to DC converter integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., designed for precision AC signal measurement and conversion applications. This component operates across a wide supply voltage range of 5V to 36V and ±3V to 18V, with a supply current of 1.2 mA. The device is packaged in a 14-CDIP through-hole configuration.

The AD536AKD is classified as an obsolete product. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain system functionality, ensure design continuity, and support legacy equipment maintenance where original components are no longer readily available.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AD536AKD is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Base product number (AD536 series)
• Functional classification (RMS to DC Converter)
• Package type and form factor (14-CDIP through-hole)
• Supply voltage range (5V ~ 36V, ±3V ~ 18V)
• Supply current specification (1.2 mA)
• Mounting technology (Through Hole)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The AD536AJDZ qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications, identical package configuration, and compatibility across all specified parameters. The primary distinction is product status: AD536AKD is obsolete, while AD536AJDZ is active production.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AD536AJDZ is the direct substitute for the AD536AKD. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including supply voltage range, current consumption, package configuration, and mounting technology.

The AD536AJDZ offers the advantage of active product status with current manufacturing availability. The component carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting modern regulatory requirements. The through-hole 14-CDIP package ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB designs and socket configurations.

Selection of the AD536AJDZ eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional and physical compatibility with applications originally designed for the AD536AKD.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AD536AJDZ be used as a direct replacement for the AD536AKD in existing designs?

A: Yes. The AD536AJDZ is electrically and mechanically identical to the AD536AKD. Both components feature the same 14-CDIP package, supply voltage range (5V ~ 36V, ±3V ~ 18V), supply current (1.2 mA), and through-hole mounting configuration. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The AD536AKD is classified as obsolete, while the AD536AJDZ is in active production. The AD536AJDZ also includes ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status certifications.

Q: Are there any package or form factor differences?

A: No. Both parts use the identical 14-CDIP (0.300", 7.62mm) package with through-hole mounting. They are physically interchangeable on PCBs designed for either component.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these components?

A: Both the AD536AKD and AD536AJDZ have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements.

Q: Does the AD536AJDZ meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The AD536AJDZ is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.
