Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX552BCUB+ is a direct parametric equivalent to the MAX552BCUB, with identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all functional parameters. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the MAX552BCUB is obsolete, while the MAX552BCUB+ maintains active production status.

The MAX552BCUB+ offers improved regulatory compliance, meeting ROHS3 requirements compared to the non-compliant status of the original part. Both components share identical packaging, pinout, and electrical performance characteristics, enabling direct substitution in existing designs without circuit modification.

For new designs or production continuity, the MAX552BCUB+ is the appropriate selection due to its active availability and enhanced compliance posture.
