MAX3096ESE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX3096ESE is a 0/4 Receiver RS422/RS485 interface IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated in a 16-SOIC surface mount package. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing system support and new designs. The MAX3096ESE operates with a 3V to 3.6V supply voltage, supports data rates up to 10 Mbps, and maintains a receiver hysteresis of 45 mV across an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MAX3096ESE is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Package / Case: 16-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Type: Receiver
• Number of Drivers/Receivers: 0/4
• Protocol Support: RS422, RS485 or RS422, RS423

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Receiver Hysteresis: 45 mV or 50 mV (minor tolerance variation)
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C ~ 85°C or equivalent
• Voltage Supply Range: 3V ~ 3.6V (Maxim parts) or 4.75V ~ 5.25V (Texas Instruments parts)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

1. Direct Maxim Integrated Equivalents: MAX3096ESE+ and MAX3094EESE+ maintain identical electrical specifications and package form factor. These parts are active products with improved RoHS3 compliance.

2. Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives: AM26LS32 series parts from Texas Instruments provide functional equivalence in the same 16-SOIC package with RS422/RS423 protocol support. These parts operate at 4.75V ~ 5.25V supply voltage and require circuit design consideration for voltage compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Recommended):

MAX3096ESE+ is the preferred direct substitute. It maintains identical electrical specifications, supply voltage range (3V ~ 3.6V), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), and 16-SOIC package form factor. The part is active with ROHS3 compliance, addressing the obsolescence and RoHS non-compliance status of the original MAX3096ESE.

MAX3094EESE+ provides parametric equivalence with identical specifications and active product status. Both Maxim parts are suitable for drop-in replacement without circuit modification.

For Cross-Manufacturer Substitution:

AM26LS32AIDR is the preferred Texas Instruments alternative for applications requiring extended temperature operation (-40°C ~ 85°C). This part is active with ROHS3 compliance and available in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging. The 4.75V ~ 5.25V supply voltage requirement necessitates circuit design review for voltage compatibility.

AM26LS32ACDR is suitable for standard temperature range applications (0°C ~ 70°C) and is active with ROHS3 compliance.

AM26LS32ACD and AM26LS32AID are classified as Last Time Buy, limiting their suitability for new designs requiring long-term component availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX3096ESE+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX3096ESE?

A: Yes. MAX3096ESE+ is a direct substitute with identical electrical specifications, package form factor, and pin configuration. The primary difference is active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the key difference between Maxim and Texas Instruments substitutes?

A: Maxim parts (MAX3096ESE+, MAX3094EESE+) operate at 3V ~ 3.6V supply voltage, while Texas Instruments AM26LS32 series parts require 4.75V ~ 5.25V. Circuit design must accommodate the voltage difference for cross-manufacturer substitution.

Q: Are AM26LS32 parts suitable for all temperature ranges?

A: AM26LS32ACDR and AM26LS32ACD operate at 0°C ~ 70°C. For applications requiring -40°C ~ 85°C operation, use AM26LS32AID or AM26LS32AIDR.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitutes?

A: MAX3096ESE+ and MAX3094EESE+ are supplied in Tube packaging. AM26LS32ACD and AM26LS32AID are supplied in Tube packaging. AM26LS32ACDR and AM26LS32AIDR are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging.

Q: Why is product status important for component selection?

A: Active products ensure long-term availability and manufacturing support. Last Time Buy parts have limited production windows. Obsolete parts like MAX3096ESE have no further manufacturing or support.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant. The original MAX3096ESE is RoHS non-compliant, making substitution necessary for RoHS-regulated applications.

Q: What is the significance of receiver hysteresis differences?

A: MAX3096ESE and Maxim substitutes specify 45 mV hysteresis. Texas Instruments AM26LS32 series parts specify 50 mV hysteresis. This 5 mV difference is within normal tolerance variation for RS422/RS485 receiver applications.
