Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX1706EEE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Topology & Function: Boost (step-up) switching regulator with positive adjustable output
• Electrical Specifications: Input voltage range 0.9V to 5.5V, output range 2.5V to 5.5V, 550mA switch current, 260kHz to 340kHz switching frequency
• Package Compatibility: 16-SSOP (0.154", 3.90mm Width) surface mount package
• Output Configuration: Single positive adjustable output
• Synchronous Rectifier: Non-synchronous topology

The MAX1706EEE+ meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent, maintaining identical electrical performance and package specifications while offering improved product status and compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX1706EEE+ is a direct functional and electrical equivalent to the MAX1706EEE. Both devices share identical electrical specifications, switching characteristics, and package geometry. The primary distinction lies in product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance.

The MAX1706EEE is classified as obsolete, whereas the MAX1706EEE+ maintains active product status from the manufacturer. The MAX1706EEE+ achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements, compared to the non-compliant status of the original MAX1706EEE.

For new designs or applications requiring long-term component availability and regulatory compliance, the MAX1706EEE+ is the appropriate selection. For existing applications currently using the MAX1706EEE, direct substitution with the MAX1706EEE+ is electrically and mechanically compatible without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAX1706EEE+ directly replace the MAX1706EEE in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MAX1706EEE+ is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both devices feature identical input/output voltage ranges, switching frequency, output current capability, and 16-SSOP package dimensions. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from MAX1706EEE to MAX1706EEE+?

A: The MAX1706EEE is obsolete with no ongoing manufacturer support. The MAX1706EEE+ is an active product with current availability. Additionally, the MAX1706EEE+ achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting modern environmental standards.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the MAX1706EEE and MAX1706EEE+ use the 16-SSOP (0.154", 3.90mm Width) package with identical pinout and footprint. PCB layout compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the difference between the standard MAX1706EEE+ and the tube packaging option?
