MAX495EPA+ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX495EPA+ is a general-purpose operational amplifier manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, housed in an 8-DIP through-hole package. This rail-to-rail output amplifier is designed for single-circuit applications requiring low-power operation across a 2.7V to 6V supply range. The device is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility with the 8-DIP package format and satisfy the electrical performance requirements of existing applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MAX495EPA+ are qualified based on the following mandatory compatibility criteria:

Package Compatibility: All substitute parts must use the 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole package format to ensure direct mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing printed circuit board layouts.

Electrical Specifications: Substitute parts must support the same supply voltage range (2.7V to 6V minimum and maximum) and maintain rail-to-rail output capability. Single-circuit general-purpose amplifier topology is required.

Functional Equivalence: The substitute must be a single-channel, general-purpose operational amplifier with rail-to-rail output configuration.

Compliance Requirements: All substitute parts must maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification to satisfy regulatory and procurement requirements.

The three qualified substitute parts—TLV2461AIP, TLV2461CP, and TLV2461IP—all meet these mandatory criteria. These Texas Instruments devices share identical package geometry, supply voltage compatibility, and functional classification with the MAX495EPA+.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TLV2461CP is the primary recommended substitute for new designs and ongoing procurement. This device carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support. It maintains full compatibility with the MAX495EPA+ across all mandatory parameters: 8-DIP package, 2.7V to 6V supply range, rail-to-rail output, and ROHS3 compliance. The operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C is suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications within the specified supply voltage window.

TLV2461AIP and TLV2461IP are qualified alternatives with Last Time Buy status. Both devices extend the maximum operating temperature to 125°C and maintain the -40°C minimum temperature rating, providing enhanced thermal performance compared to the MAX495EPA+. These parts are suitable for applications requiring extended temperature operation or as interim solutions during the transition from MAX495EPA+ inventory depletion.

Selection between TLV2461AIP and TLV2461IP should be based on procurement availability and inventory status. Both devices are functionally equivalent and share identical electrical specifications within the 2.7V to 6V supply range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TLV2461CP be used as a direct replacement for MAX495EPA+ in existing designs?

A: Yes. The TLV2461CP is mechanically and electrically compatible with the MAX495EPA+. Both devices use the 8-DIP package, support 2.7V to 6V supply operation, and provide rail-to-rail output capability. No PCB modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between TLV2461AIP, TLV2461CP, and TLV2461IP?

A: The three TLV2461 variants differ in operating temperature range and product status. TLV2461CP operates from 0°C to 70°C and carries Active status. TLV2461AIP and TLV2461IP both operate from -40°C to 125°C but are classified as Last Time Buy. All three share identical electrical performance and package specifications.

Q: Is the TLV2461 series suitable for applications requiring the full -40°C to 85°C temperature range of the MAX495EPA+?

A: TLV2461AIP and TLV2461IP both support -40°C to 125°C operation, fully covering the MAX495EPA+ temperature range. TLV2461CP operates from 0°C to 70°C and is suitable for applications within this narrower range.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. TLV2461AIP, TLV2461CP, and TLV2461IP are all ROHS3 compliant, matching the MAX495EPA+ compliance status.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: TLV2461CP (Active status) has 1,363 pieces in stock. TLV2461AIP (Last Time Buy) has 2,300 pieces available. TLV2461IP (Last Time Buy) has 2,200 pieces available. The MAX495EPA+ (Obsolete) has 712 pieces remaining in inventory.
