Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX350CAP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Switch Architecture: SP4T configuration with 2 independent circuits
  • Multiplexing Ratio: 4:1 channel selection
  • Electrical Performance: 100Ohm on-state resistance with 16Ohm maximum channel matching
  • Supply Voltage Compatibility: Single supply (2.7V ~ 16V) and dual supply (±2.7V ~ 8V) operation
  • Switching Characteristics: Maximum switch times of 275ns (Ton) and 150ns (Toff)
  • Signal Integrity Parameters: Charge injection (1pC), channel capacitance (2pF), leakage current (100pA), and crosstalk (-90dB @ 100kHz)
  • Physical Form Factor: 20-SSOP surface mount package with identical 5.30mm width

The MAX350CAP+ meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent with identical electrical specifications and package configuration.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX350CAP+ is the direct substitute for the obsolete MAX350CAP. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance.

The MAX350CAP is classified as obsolete with RoHS non-compliant certification. The MAX350CAP+ is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing production support. Both parts share identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited) and REACH status (REACH Unaffected).

For applications currently using MAX350CAP, direct substitution with MAX350CAP+ requires no circuit modifications or design changes. Pin configuration, electrical performance, and package footprint remain unchanged.
