Engineering Selection Recommendations

MAX333ACWP+ (Direct Replacement)

The MAX333ACWP+ is the primary substitute for the obsolete MAX333ACWP. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, package configuration, and supply voltage ranges. The MAX333ACWP+ carries Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, making it the preferred choice for new designs and production continuity. Packaging is available in Tube format.

ADG333ABRZ and ADG333ABRZ-REEL (Enhanced Performance Alternative)

The ADG333 series represents an enhanced alternative from Analog Devices Inc. with superior performance characteristics: faster switching times (90ns/80ns typical versus 175ns/145ns maximum), improved crosstalk performance (-85dB versus -78dB @ 1MHz), and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). These parts maintain 45Ohm on-state resistance and 4-circuit SPDT configuration. Channel-to-channel matching is 5Ohm versus 2Ohm for the original part. Both ADG333ABRZ (Tube packaging) and ADG333ABRZ-REEL (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging) carry Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The ADG333 series supports lower minimum supply voltages (3V single supply, ±3V dual supply).

DG333ADW-E3 and DG333ADW-T1-E3 (Cross-Manufacturer Alternative)

The Vishay Siliconix DG333 series provides functional equivalence with Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. These parts maintain 45Ohm on-state resistance, 2Ohm channel-to-channel matching, and identical switch timing to the original MAX333ACWP (175ns/145ns). Operating temperature range extends to -40°C to 85°C. Supply voltage range is 5V to 40V (single) and ±4V to 22V (dual). Charge injection is higher at 10pC, and channel capacitance is 8pF. DG333ADW-E3 is available in Tube packaging; DG333ADW-T1-E3 is available in Tape & Reel format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX333ACWP+ be used as a direct drop-in replacement for MAX333ACWP?

A: Yes. The MAX333ACWP+ maintains identical electrical specifications, supply voltage ranges, switch timing, and 20-SOIC package configuration. The primary difference is product status (Active versus Obsolete) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 Compliant versus non-compliant).

Q: What are the key differences between ADG333ABRZ and the original MAX333ACWP?

A: The ADG333ABRZ offers faster switching times (90ns/80ns typical), improved crosstalk (-85dB), extended temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and lower minimum supply voltages (3V single, ±3V dual). Channel-to-channel matching is 5Ohm versus 2Ohm. On-state resistance remains 45Ohm. These differences represent performance enhancements suitable for applications requiring faster switching or wider temperature operation.

Q: Are DG333ADW parts suitable replacements for MAX333ACWP?

A: Yes, with considerations. DG333ADW-E3 and DG333ADW-T1-E3 maintain 45Ohm on-state resistance, 2Ohm channel-to-channel matching, and identical switch timing (175ns/145ns). However, charge injection is 10pC versus 2pC, and channel capacitance is 8pF versus 5pF. These differences may affect performance in high-frequency or precision analog applications. Extended temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and higher supply voltage ceiling (40V) provide additional operational flexibility.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: MAX333ACWP+ is available in Tube packaging. ADG333ABRZ is available in Tube packaging; ADG333ABRZ-REEL is available in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format. DG333ADW-E3 is available in Tube packaging; DG333ADW-T1-E3 is available in Tape & Reel format. All parts use identical 20-SOIC surface mount package dimensions.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: All substitute parts listed (MAX333ACWP+, ADG333ABRZ, ADG333ABRZ-REEL, DG333ADW-E3, DG333ADW-T1-E3) carry ROHS3 Compliant status. The original MAX333ACWP is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best performance for high-speed switching applications?

A: The ADG333ABRZ and ADG333ABRZ-REEL offer the fastest switching times at 90ns/80ns (typical), compared to 175ns/145ns (maximum) for MAX333ACWP, MAX333ACWP+, and DG333 series parts. These parts also provide superior crosstalk performance at -85dB @ 1MHz.

Q: Are there supply voltage compatibility considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: Yes. The original MAX333ACWP requires 10V to 30V (single supply) or ±4.5V to ±20V (dual supply). ADG333 series parts support lower minimum voltages (3V single, ±3V dual), providing greater flexibility for low-voltage applications. DG333 series parts require 5V minimum (single supply) or ±4V (dual supply) but support higher maximum voltages (40V single, ±22V dual).
