Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX4253EBC-T is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Amplifier Configuration: Dual general-purpose operational amplifier topology
• Output Architecture: Push-pull, rail-to-rail output stage
• Electrical Performance: Slew rate of 0.3 V/µs, gain bandwidth product of 3 MHz, input bias current of 0.1 pA, input offset voltage of 70 µV
• Supply Current: 420 µA across both channels
• Output Current Capability: 68 mA per channel
• Supply Voltage Range: 2.4 V to 5.5 V operation
• Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C
• Package Format: 10-UCSP surface mount configuration

The substitute part MAX4253EBC+T maintains identical electrical specifications and package configuration while differing only in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) and product status (Active versus Obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX4253EBC+T is the direct functional equivalent of the MAX4253EBC-T. Selection of the substitute part is justified on the following basis:

Product Status: The MAX4253EBC-T is classified as obsolete, whereas MAX4253EBC+T maintains active product status with Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Electrical Equivalence: All electrical parameters, including slew rate, gain bandwidth product, input bias current, input offset voltage, supply current, output current capability, and supply voltage range, are identical between the two parts.

Package Compatibility: Both parts utilize the 10-UCSP surface mount package configuration, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB designs without layout modifications.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical moisture sensitivity levels, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements.

Packaging Format Difference: The primary distinction is packaging format. MAX4253EBC+T is supplied in Tape & Reel format, which is standard for production environments and automated assembly processes. The bulk packaging of MAX4253EBC-T is no longer actively manufactured.
