Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX3094ECPE+ is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Protocol Compatibility: Both main and substitute parts must support RS422 and RS485 serial communication standards
• Receiver Configuration: Identical 0/4 receiver architecture (zero drivers, four receivers)
• Electrical Performance: Matching receiver hysteresis (45 mV), data rate (10 Mbps), and supply voltage range (3V ~ 3.6V)
• Thermal Operating Range: Identical 0°C ~ 70°C operating temperature specification
• Package Specification: 16-pin DIP form factor with 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch for through-hole mounting
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating maintained across all substitutes

The MAX3096CPE+ qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on complete alignment with all specified electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MAX3094ECPE+ and MAX3096CPE+ are active production parts from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 certification. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and procurement lead times. The MAX3094ECPE+ currently maintains higher stock levels (1009 units) compared to the MAX3096CPE+ (955 units). Both parts meet identical electrical specifications and package requirements, making them functionally interchangeable for RS422/RS485 receiver applications operating within the specified 3V ~ 3.6V supply range and 0°C ~ 70°C temperature envelope.
