Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX393CSE+ is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete MAX393C/D based on the following engineering criteria:

  • Product Status Transition: The MAX393CSE+ maintains Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support, availability, and compliance updates throughout its lifecycle
  • Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, eliminating regulatory risk in substitution
  • Moisture Handling: Both parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage, handling, or assembly
  • Functional Equivalence: Identical circuit configuration (4-circuit SPST NO/NC), on-state resistance (35Ohm), and supply voltage specifications ensure direct functional compatibility
  • Manufacturer Continuity: Both parts originate from the same manufacturer, providing consistent design philosophy, quality standards, and technical support

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAX393CSE+ directly replace the MAX393C/D in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share the MAX393 base product number, identical switch circuit configuration (4-circuit SPST NO/NC), matching on-state resistance (35Ohm maximum), and equivalent supply voltage ranges. Compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL Level 1) are identical.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The MAX393C/D is listed as Obsolete. The MAX393CSE+ is an Active product from the same manufacturer, providing long-term availability and supply chain security.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The MAX393CSE+ is specified in 16-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) surface mount packaging with Tube packaging format. Verify that your PCB design and assembly process accommodate this package specification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the MAX393C/D and MAX393CSE+ are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What electrical parameters should I verify for my application?

A: Key parameters for application compatibility include on-state resistance (35Ohm maximum), supply voltage range (3V ~ 15V single supply or ±3V ~ 8V dual supply), switch time specifications (130ns Ton, 75ns Toff maximum), and operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C).
