MAX4668ESE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX4668ESE is a 2-circuit IC switch with SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) configuration manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This component operates as a 1:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer with 2.5Ohm on-state resistance and is housed in a 16-SOIC surface mount package. The MAX4668ESE is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for new designs and ongoing production support.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX4668ESE is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute identified is the MAX4668ESE+, which maintains identical functional specifications including switch circuit topology, on-state resistance, supply voltage ranges, switching characteristics, and package configuration.

The substitution is valid based on the following criteria:

  • Identical switch circuit type (SPST - NO)
  • Identical number of circuits (2) and multiplexer configuration (1:1)
  • Identical on-state resistance and channel matching specifications
  • Identical supply voltage operating ranges (single and dual)
  • Identical switching time, charge injection, and capacitance parameters
  • Identical leakage current and crosstalk specifications
  • Identical operating temperature range
  • Identical package and mounting type (16-SOIC surface mount)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX4668ESE+ is the direct equivalent for the obsolete MAX4668ESE. Both parts are manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: the MAX4668ESE is obsolete while the MAX4668ESE+ is active and currently available.

For new designs and production applications, the MAX4668ESE+ is the appropriate selection. This part maintains full functional compatibility with the original MAX4668ESE while offering the advantage of active product status and ROHS3 compliance, compared to the RoHS non-compliant status of the original part. Both parts carry identical moisture sensitivity levels and REACH compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX4668ESE+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX4668ESE?
