MAX3094EESE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX3094EESE is a 0/4 Receiver RS422/RS485 interface IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, housed in a 16-SOIC surface mount package. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent parts for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The receiver operates across a 3V to 3.6V supply voltage range with a 10Mbps data rate capability, making it suitable for industrial communication applications requiring RS422 or RS485 protocol support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX3094EESE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Protocol support: RS422 and RS485
• Receiver configuration: 0/4 (zero drivers, four receivers)
• Receiver hysteresis: 45 mV
• Data rate: 10Mbps
• Supply voltage range: 3V ~ 3.6V
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Package type: 16-SOIC with identical physical dimensions (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount

All identified substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across these parameters, ensuring functional compatibility in existing circuit designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs and production transitions, MAX3094EESE+ is the primary substitute, offering direct compatibility with identical electrical and mechanical specifications while maintaining active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part represents a direct upgrade path from the obsolete MAX3094EESE.

MAX3096ESE+ serves as a parametric equivalent, providing identical functional performance across all critical electrical parameters and package specifications. This part is also active and ROHS3 compliant.

Both substitute parts address the obsolescence status of the original MAX3094EESE while providing improved regulatory compliance through ROHS3 certification. Selection between the two substitutes should be based on availability, packaging preferences (both supplied in Tube format), and inventory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX3094EESE+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX3094EESE?

A: Yes. MAX3094EESE+ maintains identical electrical specifications (protocol, data rate, supply voltage, operating temperature, receiver hysteresis) and mechanical specifications (16-SOIC package, surface mount). The primary difference is product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 vs. non-compliant).

Q: What is the difference between MAX3094EESE+ and MAX3096ESE+?

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 supplied in Tube packaging. Selection can be based on availability and inventory requirements.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts use the 16-SOIC package with 0.154" width and 3.90mm physical dimensions, ensuring identical PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The original MAX3094EESE is RoHS non-compliant, while both substitutes (MAX3094EESE+ and MAX3096ESE+) are ROHS3 compliant. This compliance status is relevant for applications subject to RoHS regulations and environmental standards.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, within the constraints of the specified electrical and mechanical parameters. All three parts support RS422/RS485 protocols, operate at 3V to 3.6V supply voltage, maintain 45mV receiver hysteresis, and function across -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range.
