MAX607ESA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX607ESA is a voltage regulator IC designed for Flash Memory PCMCIA card applications, featuring a single output with configurable voltage levels. This component operates across a 3V to 5.5V input range and supports output voltages of 5V, 12V, or 3V to 12.5V. The device is housed in an 8-SOIC surface mount package and is rated for operation from -40°C to 85°C.

The MAX607ESA is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary for new designs, production continuity, or system upgrades where original inventory is unavailable or depleted.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX607ESA is determined by strict alignment with the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Package Compatibility: 8-SOIC surface mount package with identical pinout and footprint
• Electrical Specifications: Input voltage range 3V to 5.5V; single output; configurable output voltage (5V, 12V, or 3V to 12.5V range)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C
• Functional Application: Voltage regulation for Flash Memory PCMCIA card converters

The MAX607ESA+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical performance, package type, and functional specifications. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX607ESA+ is the direct equivalent for the MAX607ESA. Both components share identical electrical specifications, package geometry, and functional performance for Flash Memory PCMCIA card voltage regulation applications.

Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Product Availability: The MAX607ESA is obsolete with limited inventory. The MAX607ESA+ is active and maintains current production status, ensuring long-term availability for new designs and production runs.

Regulatory Compliance: The MAX607ESA+ meets ROHS3 compliance standards, whereas the original MAX607ESA is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or environmental compliance requirements, the MAX607ESA+ is the appropriate choice.

Packaging: The MAX607ESA+ is supplied in tube packaging, which may differ from the original part's packaging configuration. Verify packaging compatibility with assembly and handling processes.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance and are mechanically interchangeable in 8-SOIC surface mount applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAX607ESA+ be used as a direct replacement for the MAX607ESA?

A: Yes. The MAX607ESA+ is electrically and mechanically identical to the MAX607ESA. Both components feature the same input voltage range (3V to 5.5V), output voltage configuration (5V, 12V, or 3V to 12.5V), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and 8-SOIC package footprint. The primary differences are product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance certification.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The MAX607ESA is classified as obsolete, indicating that Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated no longer manufactures this part. The MAX607ESA+ is active, meaning it is currently in production. For new designs or long-term production requirements, the active MAX607ESA+ is the recommended selection to ensure supply chain continuity.

Q: Does the RoHS3 compliance of the MAX607ESA+ affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance is a regulatory and environmental certification that does not alter the electrical specifications or functional performance of the component. The MAX607ESA+ maintains identical electrical characteristics to the MAX607ESA while meeting additional environmental standards.

Q: Are there any package compatibility considerations?

A: Both parts use the 8-SOIC surface mount package with identical pinout and footprint dimensions (0.154", 3.90mm width). The MAX607ESA+ is supplied in tube packaging. Verify that tube packaging is compatible with your assembly process; if the original part used different packaging (such as tape and reel), procurement specifications may need adjustment.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MAX607ESA and MAX607ESA+ are pin-for-pin and functionally equivalent. No circuit modifications or PCB redesign is required for substitution. Existing designs using the MAX607ESA can directly incorporate the MAX607ESA+ without functional impact.
