MAX3094ECUE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX3094ECUE is a 0/4 Receiver RS422/RS485 interface IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated in a 16-TSSOP surface mount package. This component is classified as Obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent parts for ongoing design requirements and production continuity. The receiver operates at 3V to 3.6V supply voltage with a 10Mbps data rate and 45mV receiver hysteresis, making it suitable for industrial communication applications requiring RS422 or RS485 protocol support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX3094ECUE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Protocol support: RS422 and RS485
• Receiver configuration: 0/4 (four receivers, no drivers)
• Receiver hysteresis: 45 mV
• Data rate: 10 Mbps
• Supply voltage range: 3V to 3.6V
• Operating temperature range: 0°C to 70°C
• Package type: 16-TSSOP with identical physical dimensions
• Mounting type: Surface Mount

The MAX3094ECUE+ meets all these criteria and is identified as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification, with the substitute part being Active and RoHS3 Compliant, addressing the obsolescence and regulatory requirements of the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX3094ECUE+ is the direct equivalent for the obsolete MAX3094ECUE. Selection of the MAX3094ECUE+ is supported by:

• Identical electrical specifications across all functional parameters
• Identical physical package and mounting characteristics
• Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• RoHS3 Compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in restricted substance directives
• REACH Unaffected status maintained across both parts
• Equivalent ECCN and HTSUS classifications

For applications requiring the MAX3094ECUE, transition to MAX3094ECUE+ eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX3094ECUE+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX3094ECUE?

A: Yes. The MAX3094ECUE+ is electrically and mechanically identical to the MAX3094ECUE across all specified parameters. The primary differences are product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and RoHS compliance certification.

Q: What is the significance of the "+" suffix in MAX3094ECUE+?

A: The "+" suffix indicates the part is in Active production status with current compliance certifications, including RoHS3. The base MAX3094ECUE is Obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are the packages physically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 16-TSSOP package with identical dimensions (0.173" width, 4.40mm). PCB footprints and assembly processes are interchangeable.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: MAX3094ECUE is supplied in standard packaging, while MAX3094ECUE+ is supplied in Tube packaging. Both are suitable for surface mount assembly.

Q: Does the substitution affect circuit design or layout?

A: No. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, requiring no design or layout modifications for substitution.
