MAX4002EUA-T RF Detector IC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX4002EUA-T is an RF detector integrated circuit designed for cellular, CDMA, and GSM applications operating across the 100MHz to 2.5GHz frequency range. This device detects RF signals within the -30dBm to 15dBm input range and is packaged in an 8-TSSOP/8-MSOP surface mount configuration. The MAX4002EUA-T is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX4002EUA-T is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Frequency operating range: 100MHz ~ 2.5GHz
• RF application classification: Cellular, CDMA, GSM
• Input signal detection range: -30dBm ~ 15dBm
• Supply voltage compatibility: 2.7V ~ 5.5V
• Supply current specification: 5.9 mA
• Physical package: 8-TSSOP/8-MSOP with 3.00mm width
• Surface mount configuration
• RoHS3 compliance status

The MAX4002EUA+T meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent. The primary distinction is packaging format: the substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration versus the original tube packaging, and the substitute maintains active product status with current manufacturer support.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX4002EUA+T is the direct functional equivalent of the MAX4002EUA-T. Selection of the substitute part is justified on the following engineering grounds:

Product Status: The original MAX4002EUA-T is obsolete, whereas the MAX4002EUA+T maintains active product status with ongoing manufacturer support from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This ensures continued availability of technical documentation, design support, and production continuity.

Compliance Certification: Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All functional parameters—frequency range, RF application type, input signal range, supply voltage, supply current, and package configuration—are identical between the original and substitute parts. No circuit redesign or board layout modification is required.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume production environments. Organizations requiring tube packaging should confirm availability through the component supplier.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAX4002EUA+T be used as a direct replacement for the MAX4002EUA-T in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MAX4002EUA+T is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the MAX4002EUA-T. All functional parameters, pin configurations, and package dimensions are identical. No circuit modifications or board layout changes are necessary.

Q: What is the difference between the MAX4002EUA-T and MAX4002EUA+T part numbers?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. The MAX4002EUA-T is supplied in tube packaging, while the MAX4002EUA+T is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The "+T" suffix indicates Tape & Reel packaging. Electrical specifications and performance are identical.

Q: Why is the MAX4002EUA-T listed as obsolete?

A: The MAX4002EUA-T has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The MAX4002EUA+T remains in active production and is the recommended part for new designs and production orders.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when switching from MAX4002EUA-T to MAX4002EUA+T?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both parts use the same 8-TSSOP/8-MSOP package with 3.00mm width, identical pin assignments, and equivalent electrical characteristics. The parts are pin-for-pin compatible.

Q: Does the MAX4002EUA+T meet the same compliance standards as the MAX4002EUA-T?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Compliance certifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the recommended lead time for the MAX4002EUA+T?

A: Lead time information is determined by component supplier inventory and production schedules. Consult your authorized distributor for current availability and delivery timelines.

Q: Can the MAX4002EUA+T be used in applications requiring tube packaging?

A: The MAX4002EUA+T is supplied in Tape & Reel format. If tube packaging is required, contact your component supplier to confirm alternative packaging options or availability of the original MAX4002EUA-T from remaining inventory.
