Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DS3486MX is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Protocol compatibility: RS422 and RS423 serial communication standards
• Receiver configuration: 0/4 driver/receiver count
• Receiver hysteresis: 140 mV threshold
• Supply voltage range: 4.75V ~ 5.25V
• Operating temperature range: 0°C ~ 70°C
• Package type: 16-SOIC surface mount form factor
• Pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical characteristics

The DS3486MX/NOPB is a direct parametric equivalent that maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved product status and RoHS compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DS3486MX/NOPB is the direct substitute for the obsolete DS3486MX. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications and package form factor. The DS3486MX/NOPB offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. Additionally, the DS3486MX/NOPB achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original DS3486MX is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or component refresh cycles, the DS3486MX/NOPB is the appropriate selection. Both parts carry REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DS3486MX/NOPB be used as a direct replacement for DS3486MX?

A: Yes. The DS3486MX/NOPB is a direct parametric equivalent. All electrical characteristics, receiver hysteresis, supply voltage range, operating temperature range, and 16-SOIC package dimensions are identical. Pin-to-pin compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the primary difference between DS3486MX and DS3486MX/NOPB?

A: The DS3486MX/NOPB has active product status and ROHS3 compliance, whereas the DS3486MX is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The "/NOPB" suffix indicates no-lead plating on the component.

Q: Are there any supply voltage or temperature derating considerations?

A: Both parts operate within the same supply voltage range of 4.75V ~ 5.25V and temperature range of 0°C ~ 70°C. No derating differences exist between the two variants.

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

A: Both the DS3486MX and DS3486MX/NOPB carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Can these parts be used in new product designs?

A: The DS3486MX is obsolete and should not be used in new designs. The DS3486MX/NOPB, with active status and improved compliance, is the appropriate choice for new product development.
