Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX1672EEE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Topology & Function: Buck, Boost switching regulator with step-up/step-down capability
  • Output Configuration: Positive adjustable (programmable) output
  • Electrical Specifications: Input voltage range 1.8V to 11V; output voltage range 1.25V to 5.5V; output current 300mA
  • Package & Mounting: 16-SSOP surface mount package with 0.154" (3.90mm) width
  • Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C
  • Synchronous Rectifier: Not present

Substitute parts must match all electrical and mechanical parameters without deviation. The MAX1672EEE+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical functional specifications and package configuration.
