Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX3094ECPE is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Protocol: RS422, RS485
• Number of Drivers/Receivers: 0/4
• Receiver Hysteresis: 45 mV
• Data Rate: 10 Mbps
• Voltage - Supply: 3V ~ 3.6V
• Operating Temperature: 0°C ~ 70°C
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: 16-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm)
• Supplier Device Package: 16-PDIP

The identified substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with these parameters. Differences in product status and RoHS compliance are noted but do not affect functional substitution capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MAX3094ECPE+ is the direct substitute, offering identical electrical and mechanical specifications with Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part is recommended for new designs and system updates requiring regulatory compliance.

MAX3096CPE+ is a parametric equivalent, maintaining all critical electrical parameters and physical form factor. This part is also Active and ROHS3 compliant, providing an alternative source for component procurement.

Both substitute parts eliminate the obsolescence risk associated with the MAX3094ECPE while maintaining full functional compatibility in RS422/RS485 receiver applications operating within the specified voltage and temperature ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX3094ECPE+ directly replace MAX3094ECPE in existing designs?

A: Yes. MAX3094ECPE+ maintains identical electrical specifications, receiver hysteresis, data rate, supply voltage range, operating temperature range, and 16-PDIP package configuration. The primary difference is product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 vs. non-compliant).

Q: What is the difference between MAX3094ECPE+ and MAX3096CPE+?

A: Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference lies in the base product number (MAX3094 vs. MAX3096). Both are Active, ROHS3 compliant, and available in Tube packaging.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: The main part (MAX3094ECPE) is supplied in bulk packaging. Both substitute parts (MAX3094ECPE+ and MAX3096CPE+) are supplied in Tube packaging. All three maintain the same 16-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) physical form factor and 16-PDIP supplier device package.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect functional substitution?

A: No. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and environmental requirement, not a functional parameter. Both ROHS3 compliant substitutes maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the non-compliant original part.

Q: Can these parts be used in RS422 and RS485 applications interchangeably?

A: Yes. All three parts support both RS422 and RS485 protocols with identical receiver hysteresis (45 mV) and data rate (10 Mbps) specifications.
