Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX4589CAP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Multiplexer/Demultiplexer circuit configuration (2:1)
  • Switch circuit topology (DPST)
  • Number of channels (2)
  • On-state resistance maximum rating (60Ω)
  • Supply voltage ranges (Single: 2.7V ~ 12V; Dual: ±2.7V ~ 6V)
  • Bandwidth specification (-3dB: 200MHz)
  • Package type and pinout (20-SSOP)
  • Feature set (Break-Before-Make, SPI, T-Switch Configuration)

The MAX4589CAP+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging format, not functional capability.
