Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX5480BCEE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resolution & Converter Count: 8-bit resolution with single DAC channel
• Timing Performance: 250ns settling time
• Output Configuration: Voltage or current unbuffered output with differential capability
• Interface & Reference: Parallel data interface with external reference requirement
• Power Supply: Dual 5V supply (analog and digital)
• Accuracy: INL/DNL specifications of ±0.5 LSB (Max) and ±1 LSB (Max)
• Package Compatibility: 16-SSOP surface mount package with 0.154" width
• Temperature Range: 0°C to 70°C industrial operating range

The MAX5480BCEE+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility across all parameters listed above.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX5480BCEE+ is the direct functional equivalent of the MAX5480BCEE, with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the MAX5480BCEE is obsolete, while the MAX5480BCEE+ maintains active production status.

The MAX5480BCEE+ additionally provides ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for new designs and production runs. The obsolete MAX5480BCEE is RoHS non-compliant, which may present supply chain and regulatory constraints for ongoing applications.

Both components share identical packaging (16-QSOP), pinout, and performance characteristics, enabling direct substitution without circuit redesign or board layout modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX5480BCEE+ directly replace MAX5480BCEE in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MAX5480BCEE+ is electrically and mechanically identical to the MAX5480BCEE. No circuit modifications, firmware changes, or PCB layout adjustments are required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from MAX5480BCEE to MAX5480BCEE+?

A: The MAX5480BCEE is obsolete with limited inventory availability. The MAX5480BCEE+ is in active production, ensuring reliable long-term supply. Additionally, the MAX5480BCEE+ meets ROHS3 compliance standards, while the original part does not.

Q: Are the package dimensions and pinout identical?

A: Yes. Both components use the 16-SSOP package with 0.154" (3.90mm) width. Pin assignments and mechanical footprints are identical, supporting direct PCB compatibility.

Q: Do both parts require the same external reference circuit?

A: Yes. Both the MAX5480BCEE and MAX5480BCEE+ utilize external reference architecture with identical reference input specifications and operating requirements.

Q: Is there a difference in settling time or accuracy between these parts?

A: No. Both components specify 250ns settling time and identical INL/DNL performance of ±0.5 LSB (Max) and ±1 LSB (Max).
