MAX3096EEE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX3096EEE is a 0/4 Receiver RS422/RS485 interface IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated in a 16-QSOP surface mount package. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The MAX3096EEE operates within a 3V to 3.6V supply range with a 10Mbps data rate capability and 45mV receiver hysteresis, making it suitable for low-voltage differential signaling applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX3096EEE is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Protocol Compatibility: RS422/RS485 interface standards
• Receiver Configuration: 0/4 driver/receiver count
• Package Type: 16-pin surface mount packages (SSOP or TSSOP variants)
• Electrical Characteristics: Receiver hysteresis, data rate, and supply voltage ranges
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C minimum requirement
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount only

The MAX3096EEE+ represents a direct equivalent with identical electrical specifications and active product status. The AM26LS32ACPW and AM26LS32ACPWR variants from Texas Instruments provide functional substitution with compatible RS422/RS423 protocols and 0/4 receiver configuration, though with different supply voltage requirements (4.75V to 5.25V) and operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Equivalent: MAX3096EEE+ is the direct replacement for MAX3096EEE. Both components share identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and operating parameters. The MAX3096EEE+ holds active product status and meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, providing superior long-term availability and regulatory alignment compared to the obsolete MAX3096EEE.

Secondary Substitutes: AM26LS32ACPWR and AM26LS32ACPW from Texas Instruments provide functional substitution for RS422/RS423 receiver applications with 0/4 configuration. These parts require design consideration due to differing supply voltage requirements (4.75V to 5.25V versus 3V to 3.6V) and reduced operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C versus -40°C to 85°C). The AM26LS32ACPWR variant maintains active product status and ROHS3 compliance, while AM26LS32ACPW is classified as obsolete.

For new designs or procurement requiring extended temperature operation and low-voltage supply compatibility, MAX3096EEE+ is the recommended selection. For applications with standard temperature ranges and 5V supply availability, AM26LS32ACPWR provides an alternative with active manufacturer support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX3096EEE+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX3096EEE?

A: Yes. MAX3096EEE+ is electrically and mechanically identical to MAX3096EEE, with the same 16-SSOP package, supply voltage range (3V to 3.6V), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and receiver specifications (45mV hysteresis, 10Mbps data rate). The primary difference is product status: MAX3096EEE+ is active while MAX3096EEE is obsolete.

Q: What are the key differences between MAX3096EEE and AM26LS32ACPWR?

A: Supply voltage and operating temperature ranges differ significantly. MAX3096EEE operates at 3V to 3.6V with -40°C to 85°C temperature range, while AM26LS32ACPWR requires 4.75V to 5.25V supply and operates from 0°C to 70°C. Receiver hysteresis also differs: 45mV for MAX3096EEE versus 50mV for AM26LS32ACPWR. Package dimensions differ: 16-SSOP (3.90mm width) versus 16-TSSOP (4.40mm width).

Q: Are the AM26LS32 variants suitable for low-voltage applications?

A: No. AM26LS32ACPW and AM26LS32ACPWR require 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage and are not suitable for 3V to 3.6V applications. These parts are designed for standard 5V logic systems.

Q: What is the difference between AM26LS32ACPW and AM26LS32ACPWR packaging?

A: AM26LS32ACPW is supplied in Tube packaging and holds obsolete product status. AM26LS32ACPWR is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging and maintains active product status. Both share identical electrical specifications and 16-TSSOP package dimensions.

Q: Does package size difference between SSOP and TSSOP affect PCB layout compatibility?

A: Yes. 16-SSOP measures 0.154" (3.90mm) width while 16-TSSOP measures 0.173" (4.40mm) width. Footprint differences require PCB layout modification. Pin pitch and lead spacing also differ between these package types, necessitating design review before substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: MAX3096EEE is RoHS non-compliant. MAX3096EEE+, AM26LS32ACPW, and AM26LS32ACPWR all meet ROHS3 compliance requirements.
