Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX5173AEEE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resolution: 14-bit conversion capability
• Channel Configuration: Single D/A converter
• Output Architecture: Voltage-buffered topology
• Digital Interface: SPI protocol compatibility
• Supply Voltage Range: 2.7V to 3.6V (both analog and digital supplies)
• Linearity Performance: INL/DNL specifications of ±2 LSB (Max) and ±1 LSB (Max)
• Package Form Factor: 16-SSOP surface mount configuration
• Settling Time: 12µs typical response

The MAX5173AEEE+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility across all parameters listed above.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX5173AEEE+ is the direct substitute for the MAX5173AEEE. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility and functional equivalence in circuit applications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The MAX5173AEEE is classified as obsolete, while the MAX5173AEEE+ maintains active product status. Additionally, the MAX5173AEEE+ is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original MAX5173AEEE is non-compliant with RoHS directives.

For new designs or production continuity, the MAX5173AEEE+ is the appropriate selection. Both parts are REACH unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8542.39.0001.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX5173AEEE+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX5173AEEE in existing designs?
