• Electrical Specifications: INL/DNL performance of ±0.5 LSB and ±1 LSB maximum
• Supply Voltage Requirements: 5V analog and digital supply voltages
• Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C operating range
• Package Compatibility: 16-SSOP surface mount package

The substitute part identified maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct functional replacement without circuit redesign.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX5480BEEE+ serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete MAX5480BEEE. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance.

The MAX5480BEEE+ is classified as active, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. Additionally, the MAX5480BEEE+ achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original MAX5480BEEE is non-compliant. For new designs or applications requiring regulatory adherence to RoHS directives, the MAX5480BEEE+ is the appropriate selection.

Both components maintain identical moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1) and REACH status, indicating equivalent handling and environmental compliance profiles.
