Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX4359EWG is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Package / Case: 24-SOIC form factor with identical 0.295" (7.50mm) width
• Electrical specifications: 1-channel configuration, 4:4 multiplexer/demultiplexer circuit, 65 MHz -3dB bandwidth
• Supply voltage: Dual supply ±4.5V ~ 5.5V
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Functional features: Bi-directional, buffered, T-switch configuration
• Mounting type: Surface mount

The MAX4359EWG+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical performance, package specifications, and functional characteristics. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX4359EWG+ serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete MAX4359EWG. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, package geometry, and performance characteristics across all provided parameters.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Product status: The MAX4359EWG+ maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and availability
• Compliance requirements: The MAX4359EWG+ achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the MAX4359EWG is RoHS non-compliant
• Supply chain considerations: The MAX4359EWG+ is available in tube packaging with confirmed inventory, supporting production requirements

For applications requiring RoHS compliance or long-term component availability, the MAX4359EWG+ is the appropriate selection. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the specified operating parameters.
