MAX5024TASA Linear Voltage Regulator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX5024TASA is a linear voltage regulator IC from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, classified as a Power Management (PMIC) component. This device functions as a positive adjustable (fixed) output regulator with 150mA output current capability in an 8-SOIC package with exposed pad. The MAX5024TASA is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. Active alternatives with identical or compatible electrical specifications are available to ensure uninterrupted component sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX5024TASA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Output configuration (Positive)
• Output type (Adjustable/Fixed)
• Number of regulators (1)
• Maximum input voltage (65V)
• Output voltage range (2.5V to 11V)
• Output current (150mA)
• Voltage dropout (1.5V @ 150mA)
• Quiescent current (140 µA)
• PSRR (54dB @ 100Hz)
• Control features (Enable, Hold, Reset)
• Protection features (Over Temperature, Short Circuit)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C)

Mechanical & Compliance Criteria:

• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Package compatibility (8-SOIC with exposed pad or standard 8-SOIC)
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)

The identified substitutes maintain full electrical and functional equivalence while differing only in product status and packaging configuration.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MAX5024TASA+ (Direct Substitute): This part is the direct successor to the obsolete MAX5024TASA. It maintains identical electrical specifications and is currently in active production status. The primary distinction is packaging configuration: MAX5024TASA+ uses standard 8-SOIC without exposed pad, while the original includes an exposed pad. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the exposed pad is not thermally critical or where standard 8-SOIC footprint compatibility exists.

MAX5024SASA/V+ (Parametric Equivalent): This part provides full electrical equivalence with the addition of automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q100) and automotive temperature/reliability specifications. The MAX5024SASA/V+ retains the 8-SOIC-EP package with exposed pad, matching the original mechanical configuration. Selection of this part is appropriate for automotive applications or where enhanced reliability certification is required. Both commercial and automotive variants maintain identical electrical performance across all specified parameters.

Both substitutes are actively manufactured and available in production quantities, ensuring supply chain continuity for the obsolete MAX5024TASA.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX5024TASA+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX5024TASA? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including output voltage range, current capacity, dropout voltage, quiescent current, and control features. The MAX5024TASA+ is the active production equivalent. The only difference is packaging: MAX5024TASA+ uses standard 8-SOIC without exposed pad, while MAX5024TASA includes an exposed pad. Verify PCB footprint compatibility before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between MAX5024TASA+ and MAX5024SASA/V+? A: Electrical performance is identical across all specified parameters. MAX5024SASA/V+ includes automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q100) and automotive specifications, making it suitable for automotive applications. MAX5024SASA/V+ retains the 8-SOIC-EP package with exposed pad, matching the original MAX5024TASA configuration. MAX5024TASA+ uses standard 8-SOIC without exposed pad.

Q: Is the exposed pad functionally required in my application? A: The exposed pad provides thermal dissipation. At 150mA output current with 1.5V dropout, thermal management depends on application-specific power dissipation. If your PCB design includes thermal vias connected to the exposed pad, use MAX5024TASA or MAX5024SASA/V+. If thermal management is not critical or your footprint does not utilize the exposed pad, MAX5024TASA+ is suitable.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. MAX5024TASA, MAX5024TASA+, and MAX5024SASA/V+ are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Which substitute should I select for new designs? A: For commercial applications, MAX5024TASA+ is the active production equivalent. For automotive applications or designs requiring enhanced reliability certification, MAX5024SASA/V+ is the appropriate selection. Both are actively manufactured and available in production quantities.
