MAX2620EUA-T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX2620EUA-T is an RF oscillator IC with buffered outputs designed for cellular, NPCS, and WSM applications operating across the 10MHz to 1GHz frequency range. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of equivalent substitute parts for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The availability of active alternative configurations ensures design flexibility and supply chain resilience.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX2620EUA-T is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Functional equivalence: RF oscillator with buffered outputs
• Frequency range: 10MHz ~ 1GHz operation
• RF application types: Cellular, NPCS, WSM support
• Package compatibility: 8-TSSOP/8-MSOP form factor (0.118", 3.00mm width)
• Mounting technology: Surface mount configuration
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 rating

The substitute part MAX2620EUA+T matches all electrical and mechanical parameters while differing only in packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. individual packaging) and product status (Active vs. Obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX2620EUA+T serves as the direct functional equivalent to the MAX2620EUA-T. Both components share identical electrical specifications, frequency range, RF application support, and physical package dimensions. The primary distinctions are product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance:

• MAX2620EUA-T: Obsolete status with RoHS non-compliant classification
• MAX2620EUA+T: Active product status with ROHS3 compliance

For new designs or ongoing production requiring compliance with current environmental regulations, the MAX2620EUA+T is the appropriate selection. The Tape & Reel packaging format of the MAX2620EUA+T accommodates high-volume manufacturing workflows. Both parts maintain identical MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings and REACH unaffected status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MAX2620EUA-T and MAX2620EUA+T electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both components function as RF oscillators with buffered outputs across the 10MHz to 1GHz frequency range for cellular, NPCS, and WSM applications. Electrical performance and pin configuration are identical.

Q: What is the difference between MAX2620EUA-T and MAX2620EUA+T?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (individual vs. Tape & Reel), product status (Obsolete vs. Active), and RoHS compliance (non-compliant vs. ROHS3 compliant). The physical package dimensions and electrical specifications remain unchanged.

Q: Can MAX2620EUA+T be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MAX2620EUA+T maintains the same 8-TSSOP/8-MSOP package footprint (0.118", 3.00mm width) and surface mount configuration, enabling direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

Q: What does the "+T" suffix indicate?

A: The "+T" suffix denotes Tape & Reel packaging format, which is standard for high-volume production. The "-T" suffix in the original part number indicates a different packaging configuration.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a functional difference?

A: No. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and environmental classification that does not affect electrical performance or functionality. ROHS3 compliance of the MAX2620EUA+T indicates adherence to current environmental standards.

Q: What is the MSL 1 rating significance?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. Both parts carry this rating, eliminating moisture-related handling constraints.
