MAX399C/D Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The MAX399C/D is a 2-circuit SP4T (Single Pole, 4-Throw) analog switch IC with 100Ohm on-state resistance, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This die-packaged component is designed for precision signal routing and multiplexing applications requiring low on-state resistance and minimal crosstalk.
The MAX399C/D is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to support ongoing system maintenance, design updates, and new production requirements where die packaging may not be suitable for standard manufacturing processes.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution of the MAX399C/D is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The primary substitute identified is the MAX399ESE+, which maintains identical functional specifications across all critical switching parameters:
Key Substitution Criteria:
- Switch circuit configuration: SP4T with 2 circuits, 4:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer
- On-state resistance: 100Ohm maximum with 6Ohm channel-to-channel matching
- Supply voltage ranges: 3V ~ 15V (single) and ±3V ~ 8V (dual)
- Switching performance: 150ns maximum for both Ton and Toff
- Signal integrity: 2pC charge injection, -92dB crosstalk @ 100kHz
- Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH Unaffected status
The MAX399ESE+ differs from the MAX399C/D in packaging format (16-SOIC versus die) and operating temperature range, but maintains full electrical equivalence for signal routing and multiplexing functions.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
The MAX399ESE+ is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete MAX399C/D. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications for analog switching and multiplexing functions.
Product Status Consideration: The MAX399C/D is obsolete, while the MAX399ESE+ is active and in production. Selection of the MAX399ESE+ ensures access to current inventory and ongoing manufacturer support.
Compliance Status: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
Operating Temperature Range: The MAX399ESE+ supports an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) compared to the MAX399C/D (0°C ~ 70°C). This provides greater flexibility for applications requiring operation outside the original temperature specification.
Packaging Consideration: The MAX399ESE+ is supplied in 16-SOIC package format, suitable for standard PCB assembly processes. The MAX399C/D die format requires specialized packaging and assembly procedures. Selection of the MAX399ESE+ simplifies manufacturing and supply chain management.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Are the MAX399C/D and MAX399ESE+ electrically interchangeable?
A: Yes. Both components maintain identical on-state resistance (100Ohm), switching times (150ns), charge injection (2pC), and crosstalk performance (-92dB @ 100kHz). All critical electrical parameters for signal routing and multiplexing are equivalent.
Q: What is the primary difference between these parts?
A: The MAX399C/D is supplied as a die, while the MAX399ESE+ is packaged in 16-SOIC format. The MAX399ESE+ also supports an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C versus 0°C ~ 70°C).
Q: Can I use the MAX399ESE+ as a direct replacement in existing designs?
A: The MAX399ESE+ is electrically equivalent and maintains all functional specifications. However, PCB layout and assembly procedures must accommodate the 16-SOIC package format instead of die packaging.
Q: Why is the MAX399C/D obsolete?
A: The MAX399C/D is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The MAX399ESE+ represents the current production equivalent and is recommended for all new designs and ongoing production requirements.
Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental standards?
A: Yes. Both the MAX399C/D and MAX399ESE+ are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.
Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these components?
A: Both parts have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements.
