MAX4445ESE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX4445ESE is a video amplifier receiver integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This linear amplifier operates as a single-channel receiver with a -3dB bandwidth of 550 MHz and is housed in a 16-SOIC surface mount package. The device is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of equivalent substitute components for ongoing design support and procurement requirements. Finding suitable alternatives ensures continuity in system maintenance, repair, and new production builds where legacy compatibility is required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX4445ESE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• -3dB Bandwidth: 550 MHz (exact match required)
• Slew Rate: 3800 V/µs (exact match required)
• Current - Supply: 41 mA (exact match required)
• Current - Output / Channel: 120 mA (exact match required)
• Voltage - Supply, Single/Dual (±): ±4.5V ~ 5.5V (exact match required)
• Number of Circuits: 1 (exact match required)

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Package / Case: 16-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)

Functional Equivalence Criteria:

• Category: Linear, Amplifiers (exact match required)
• Applications: Receiver (exact match required)

The substitute part MAX4445ESE+ meets all electrical, mechanical, and functional equivalence criteria and is therefore a direct substitute for the obsolete MAX4445ESE.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX4445ESE+ is the direct substitute for the obsolete MAX4445ESE. All electrical performance parameters, mechanical dimensions, and functional specifications are identical between the two parts.

Key Advantages of MAX4445ESE+:

The MAX4445ESE+ carries an Active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The part is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for new designs and production builds. The substitute is supplied in Tube packaging, which is standard for active production components.

Compliance Considerations:

The original MAX4445ESE is RoHS non-compliant and carries an Obsolete status. The MAX4445ESE+ addresses both of these limitations through ROHS3 compliance and active production status. For applications requiring RoHS compliance or long-term component availability, the MAX4445ESE+ is the appropriate selection.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility:

No design modifications are required when transitioning from MAX4445ESE to MAX4445ESE+. The parts are pin-compatible, functionally equivalent, and operate under identical electrical specifications. PCB layouts, schematic designs, and firmware require no changes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX4445ESE+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX4445ESE in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MAX4445ESE+ is electrically and mechanically identical to the MAX4445ESE. All electrical parameters, pin configurations, and package dimensions are equivalent. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between MAX4445ESE and MAX4445ESE+?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance. The MAX4445ESE is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The MAX4445ESE+ is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. Electrically and mechanically, the parts are identical.

Q: Why is the MAX4445ESE listed as obsolete?

A: The MAX4445ESE has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The MAX4445ESE+ is the active production equivalent and should be used for all new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between MAX4445ESE and MAX4445ESE+?

A: The MAX4445ESE+ is supplied in Tube packaging, which is standard for active production components. Both parts use the same 16-SOIC package format with identical mechanical dimensions (0.154", 3.90mm Width).

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that define substitution for this part?

A: Substitution is determined by exact equivalence in -3dB Bandwidth (550 MHz), Slew Rate (3800 V/µs), Current - Supply (41 mA), Current - Output / Channel (120 mA), and Voltage - Supply (±4.5V ~ 5.5V). The MAX4445ESE+ meets all these criteria.

Q: Is the MAX4445ESE+ suitable for new production designs?

A: Yes. The MAX4445ESE+ is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for new production designs. It is the recommended choice for all applications where the MAX4445ESE was previously used.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both MAX4445ESE and MAX4445ESE+ have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: Are there any regulatory or compliance differences?

A: The MAX4445ESE+ is ROHS3 compliant, while the MAX4445ESE is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the MAX4445ESE+ is the appropriate selection.
