Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MAX165BCWN is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• 8-bit resolution
• 200 kSPS sampling rate
• Single-ended input configuration
• Parallel data interface
• SAR architecture
• Dual 5V supply requirements (analog and digital)
• 18-SOIC package footprint
• Surface mount compatibility

The MAX165BCWN+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX165BCWN+ is the direct functional equivalent of the MAX165BCWN. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility and equivalent circuit performance.

The MAX165BCWN+ is classified as an active product with ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the MAX165BCWN is obsolete and non-compliant with current RoHS standards. For new designs and ongoing production requiring compliance with modern environmental regulations, the MAX165BCWN+ is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original MAX165BCWN is unavailable, the MAX165BCWN+ provides functional continuity without circuit redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAX165BCWN+ be used as a direct replacement for the MAX165BCWN?

A: Yes. The MAX165BCWN+ is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the MAX165BCWN. Both parts feature identical 8-bit resolution, 200 kSPS sampling rate, single-ended input configuration, parallel data interface, and 18-SOIC package footprint. No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

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

A: The MAX165BCWN is classified as obsolete and does not meet RoHS3 compliance requirements. The MAX165BCWN+ is an active product with ROHS3 certification. Both parts maintain identical functional specifications and environmental ratings (MSL 1, REACH Unaffected).

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences?

A: No. Both the MAX165BCWN and MAX165BCWN+ use the 18-SOIC package with identical pinout and footprint dimensions (0.295", 7.50mm width). Surface mount assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The MAX165BCWN+ should be selected for new designs. It is an active product with current RoHS3 compliance certification and ensures long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Q: Can the MAX165BCWN be used in applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: No. The MAX165BCWN is classified as RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS certification must use the MAX165BCWN+.
