MAX310CPE Video Multiplexer 8x1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX310CPE is a video multiplexer IC designed for single-channel 8:1 video switching applications. This component operates across a wide supply voltage range (9V–36V single supply or ±4.5V–18V dual supply) and features break-before-make switching logic to prevent signal glitches during transitions. The MAX310CPE is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for new designs and ongoing production support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MAX310CPE is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Multiplexer Configuration: Must be 8:1
• Channel Count: Must be 1 channel
• On-State Resistance: Maximum 250 Ohm
• Supply Voltage Ranges: Single supply 9V–36V and dual supply ±4.5V–18V
• Switching Logic: Break-Before-Make feature required
• Operating Temperature: 0°C–70°C
• Package: 16-DIP form factor with 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch
• Mounting: Through-hole technology

The MAX310CPE+ meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent suitable for replacement in new designs and production continuations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX310CPE+ is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete MAX310CPE. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, pin configuration, and functional characteristics across all critical parameters: 8:1 multiplexer configuration, 250 Ohm on-state resistance, dual and single supply voltage ranges, break-before-make switching, and 16-DIP through-hole packaging.

The primary distinction is product status: MAX310CPE+ is actively manufactured and supported, while MAX310CPE is obsolete. Additionally, MAX310CPE+ meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, whereas the original MAX310CPE does not. For new designs and production continuations, MAX310CPE+ is the appropriate selection. Both parts are supplied by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated and maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX310CPE+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX310CPE?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters: 8:1 multiplexer configuration, 250 Ohm on-state resistance, supply voltage ranges (9V–36V single, ±4.5V–18V dual), break-before-make switching, operating temperature (0°C–70°C), and 16-DIP through-hole package. Pin-for-pin compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from MAX310CPE to MAX310CPE+?

A: The MAX310CPE is classified as obsolete, while MAX310CPE+ is an active product with ongoing manufacturing support. MAX310CPE+ also meets ROHS3 compliance standards. For new designs and sustained production, MAX310CPE+ ensures component availability and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between these parts?

A: Both parts use identical 16-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole packaging. The primary packaging difference is format: MAX310CPE is supplied in bulk, while MAX310CPE+ is supplied in tube packaging. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do supply voltage specifications differ between MAX310CPE and MAX310CPE+?

A: No. Both parts support identical supply voltage ranges: single supply 9V–36V and dual supply ±4.5V–18V. Operating temperature range is also identical at 0°C–70°C.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a functional difference?

A: No. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and material composition requirement, not a functional specification. MAX310CPE+ meets ROHS3 standards, while MAX310CPE does not. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, MAX310CPE+ is required.
