Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX196BEAI is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Channel Count: 6 channels (exact match required)
• Resolution: 12 bits (exact match required)
• Sampling Rate: 100 kHz (exact match required)
• Data Interface: Parallel (exact match required)
• Supply Configuration: Single Supply (exact match required)
• Package Type: 28-SSOP (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C (exact match required)

The MAX196BEAI+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification, which may influence procurement and long-term availability decisions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX196BEAI+ is the direct substitute for the MAX196BEAI. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin and functional compatibility.

The MAX196BEAI+ offers two significant advantages:

• Product Status: Active product status ensures continued availability and manufacturer support, eliminating obsolescence risk associated with the MAX196BEAI.
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance status meets current environmental and regulatory requirements, whereas the MAX196BEAI is RoHS non-compliant.

For new designs or system updates, the MAX196BEAI+ is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance requiring exact part matching, the MAX196BEAI remains functionally equivalent where inventory permits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAX196BEAI+ be used as a direct replacement for the MAX196BEAI?

A: Yes. The MAX196BEAI+ is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both devices feature 6 channels, 12-bit resolution, 100 kHz sampling rate, parallel data interface, and identical 28-SSOP packaging. Pin configuration and functional operation are identical.

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

A: The MAX196BEAI+ has active product status and ROHS3 compliance, whereas the MAX196BEAI is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences?

A: No. Both the MAX196BEAI and MAX196BEAI+ use the 28-SSOP package with identical pinout and mechanical dimensions (0.209", 5.30mm Width).

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The MAX196BEAI+ should be selected for new designs due to active product status and regulatory compliance. The MAX196BEAI is obsolete and should not be specified for new applications.

Q: Is the supply voltage specification identical?

A: Both parts operate with single supply configuration. The MAX196BEAI+ specifies 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage range. This specification is the standard operating range for this device family.
