Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX4598EAP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Multiplexer Configuration: 4:1 dual channel architecture
• On-State Resistance: Maximum 75Ω
• Supply Voltage Range: Single supply 2.7V ~ 12V and dual supply ±2.7V ~ 6V
• Package Type: 20-SSOP surface mount with 5.30mm width
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Differential Compatibility: Required feature set
• Number of Channels: Exactly 2 independent channels

The MAX4598EAP+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX4598EAP+ is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete MAX4598EAP. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct pin-for-pin and functional compatibility. The MAX4598EAP+ offers the additional advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

For new designs or production transitions, the MAX4598EAP+ is preferred due to ROHS3 compliance certification, which aligns with current environmental and regulatory standards. The component is available in tube packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.
