Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution of the MAX4712ESE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: switch circuit type (SPST-NO), number of circuits (4), multiplexer configuration (1:1), package type (16-SOIC), and mounting method (surface mount). The on-state resistance value is the primary differentiator among available substitutes, with acceptable alternatives ranging from 25Ohm to 200Ohm depending on application requirements. Supply voltage compatibility, switching speed, and leakage current specifications must remain within acceptable operational limits for the target application.
Substitutes are grouped into the following categories:
Direct Equivalent (Identical Specifications): MAX4712ESE+ — identical electrical specifications with active product status and improved RoHS compliance.
Low Resistance Alternatives (25Ohm - 30Ohm): ADG512BRZ, ADG512BRZ-REEL, ADG512BRZ-REEL7 — 30Ohm on-state resistance, suitable for applications requiring minimal signal attenuation with 3V to 5.5V single supply operation.
Medium Resistance Alternatives (70Ohm - 90Ohm): ADG442BRZ, ADG442BRZ-REEL, ADG202AKRZ, ADG202AKRZ-REEL, ADG202AKRZ-REEL7 — higher on-state resistance values with enhanced performance characteristics including lower charge injection and improved crosstalk isolation.
High Resistance Alternative (200Ohm): ADG1312YRZ-REEL7 — 200Ohm on-state resistance with extended temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and superior bandwidth performance (600MHz).

Engineering Selection Recommendations
For Direct Replacement (Identical Specifications): MAX4712ESE+ is the primary recommendation as an active equivalent. It maintains identical electrical specifications and package configuration while providing ROHS3 compliance, addressing the obsolescence status of the original MAX4712ESE.
For Low-Voltage Applications (3V to 5.5V Supply): ADG512BRZ, ADG512BRZ-REEL, or ADG512BRZ-REEL7 are suitable alternatives when supply voltage is constrained to 3V to 5.5V single supply operation. These parts feature 30Ohm on-state resistance with reduced leakage current (100pA) and lower charge injection (11pC), beneficial for low-power signal routing applications. All variants are ROHS3 compliant and active products.
For Higher Supply Voltage Applications (10V to 15V Supply): ADG202AKRZ, ADG202AKRZ-REEL, or ADG202AKRZ-REEL7 operate across 10V to 15V supply ranges with 90Ohm on-state resistance. These parts provide superior leakage characteristics (2nA) and are suitable for applications requiring higher supply voltages with acceptable resistance values.
For Enhanced Performance (12V to ±15V Supply): ADG442BRZ or ADG442BRZ-REEL deliver 70Ohm on-state resistance with exceptional crosstalk isolation (-100dB @ 1MHz), minimal charge injection (1pC), and fast switching times (110ns, 60ns). These are optimal for precision signal switching applications operating at 12V or ±15V supplies.
For Extended Temperature Range (up to 105°C): ADG1312YRZ-REEL7 extends the operating temperature range to -40°C to 105°C with 200Ohm on-state resistance, 600MHz bandwidth, and superior charge injection performance (2pC). This part is suitable for industrial and automotive applications requiring extended thermal operation.
All recommended substitutes are ROHS3 compliant active products, addressing both the obsolescence and regulatory compliance requirements of the original MAX4712ESE.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can MAX4712ESE+ be used as a direct drop-in replacement for MAX4712ESE?
A: Yes. MAX4712ESE+ maintains identical electrical specifications, package configuration (16-SOIC), and pin assignment. The primary differences are active product status and ROHS3 compliance. No circuit modifications are required.
Q: What is the primary difference between the substitute parts?
A: On-state resistance is the primary electrical differentiator. Substitutes range from 25Ohm (MAX4712ESE+) to 200Ohm (ADG1312YRZ-REEL7). Supply voltage requirements also vary: ADG512 series operates at 3V to 5.5V, ADG202 series at 10V to 15V, ADG442 at 12V or ±15V, and ADG1312 at 12V or ±15V. Selection depends on application supply voltage and acceptable signal attenuation.
Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same package?
A: Yes. All substitute parts are packaged in 16-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) surface mount configuration, maintaining PCB layout compatibility with the original MAX4712ESE.
Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?
A: Substitute parts are available in multiple packaging formats: Tube, Tape & Reel (TR), and Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel®. Selection depends on production volume and assembly requirements. The base part numbers (MAX4712ESE+, ADG512, ADG442, ADG202, ADG1312) identify the electrical specifications, while suffixes indicate packaging type.
Q: Which substitute is recommended for new designs?
A: For new designs requiring specifications identical to MAX4712ESE, use MAX4712ESE+. For applications with different supply voltage requirements, select based on the supply voltage range: ADG512 series for 3V to 5.5V, ADG202 series for 10V to 15V, ADG442 for 12V or ±15V, and ADG1312 for 12V or ±15V with extended temperature range.
Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?
A: Yes. All recommended substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant. The original MAX4712ESE is RoHS non-compliant, making substitution necessary for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements.
Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?
A: MAX4712ESE+ has 851 units in stock. ADG512BRZ-REEL has the highest inventory at 600,200 units. ADG442BRZ-REEL has 17,935 units, and ADG202AKRZ-REEL7 has 15,100 units. Availability varies by packaging type and supplier.
