MAX186BCPP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX186BCPP is a 12-bit Data Acquisition System (DAS) with 8 channels, 133k sampling rate, and serial data interface, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for new designs or production continuity. The MAX186BCPP operates across a 0°C to 70°C temperature range and is packaged in a 20-DIP through-hole configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX186BCPP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Channel Count: 8 channels (fixed requirement)
• Resolution: 12 bits (fixed requirement)
• Sampling Rate: 133k samples per second (fixed requirement)
• Package: 20-DIP through-hole form factor (fixed requirement)
• Voltage Supply Architecture: Dual ± supply configuration (fixed requirement)
• Operating Temperature Range: 0°C to 70°C (fixed requirement)

The MAX186BCPP+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical performance across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: MAX186BCPP+ is active production, whereas MAX186BCPP is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX186BCPP+ is the direct functional equivalent for applications currently using MAX186BCPP. Selection of MAX186BCPP+ is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status: MAX186BCPP+ maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Regulatory Compliance: MAX186BCPP+ achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas MAX186BCPP is non-compliant. This distinction is material for applications subject to RoHS directives.
• Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical channel count, resolution, sampling rate, and supply voltage architecture.
• Physical Compatibility: Both parts use identical 20-DIP through-hole packaging, enabling direct PCB-level substitution without layout modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX186BCPP+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX186BCPP in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters: 8 channels, 12-bit resolution, 133k sampling rate, dual ± supply, and 20-DIP packaging. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: What is the primary difference between MAX186BCPP and MAX186BCPP+?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. MAX186BCPP is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. MAX186BCPP+ is in active production and ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Are there differences in data interface capabilities?
