Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX2016ETI-T is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Frequency range: 30kHz ~ 2.5GHz
• RF application type: Cellular, GSM, EDGE, CDMA
• Input signal range: -70dBm ~ 10dBm
• Measurement accuracy: ±1dB
• Supply voltage range: 2.7V ~ 5.25V
• Supply current: 16 mA
• Package type: 28-WFQFN Exposed Pad
• Mounting configuration: Surface Mount

The MAX2016ETI+T meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. The primary distinction is packaging format: the substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration versus the original tube packaging, and carries active product status with higher inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX2016ETI+T is a direct functional equivalent to the MAX2016ETI-T. Both parts are manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated and share identical electrical specifications and physical package dimensions. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for current production environments. The packaging format difference (Tape & Reel versus tube) does not affect component performance or PCB assembly compatibility. Selection of the MAX2016ETI+T is appropriate for new designs, redesigns, or procurement of replacement inventory for existing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the MAX2016ETI-T and MAX2016ETI+T electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts deliver identical electrical performance across all specified parameters: frequency range, input signal range, accuracy, supply voltage, and supply current. The components are functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between these part numbers?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. The MAX2016ETI-T is supplied in tube packaging, while the MAX2016ETI+T is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Additionally, the MAX2016ETI+T carries active product status, whereas the MAX2016ETI-T is classified as obsolete.

Q: Can I use MAX2016ETI+T in place of MAX2016ETI-T on my PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts use the identical 28-WFQFN Exposed Pad package with 5x5mm dimensions and surface mount configuration. No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: Why should I transition from MAX2016ETI-T to MAX2016ETI+T?

A: The MAX2016ETI-T is obsolete, which limits future availability and manufacturing support. The MAX2016ETI+T is an active product with higher inventory levels and guaranteed long-term supply continuity.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited). Regulatory and environmental compliance requirements are met by both components.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging affect assembly or performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated PCB assembly processes and does not impact component performance, reliability, or electrical characteristics. The physical component remains identical.
