Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MAX1241BESA+ are identified within the MAX1241 family based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. All substitute candidates maintain the following critical specifications:

  • 12-bit resolution with 73 kSPS sampling rate
  • Single-ended input configuration with SPI digital interface
  • SAR architecture with external reference capability
  • Dual supply voltage range (2.7V ~ 5.25V for both analog and digital rails)
  • Operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 85°C
  • 8-SOIC surface mount package with identical pinout and footprint
  • ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The MAX1241 family variants (MAX1241AESA+, MAX1241BESA+, MAX1241CESA+) differ only in temperature grade designation, which is reflected in the part number suffix. All variants share identical functional specifications and are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the specified operating temperature range.
