MAX6141ESA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX6141ESA is a series voltage reference IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, designed for precision power management applications requiring a fixed 4.096V output. This component operates as a fixed reference voltage source with ±1% tolerance and is housed in an 8-SOIC surface mount package. The MAX6141ESA is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations where this reference voltage specification is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX6141ESA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Fixed output voltage of 4.096V
• Output current capability of 1 mA minimum
• Tolerance specification of ±1% or better
• Temperature coefficient of 50ppm/°C or lower
• Input voltage range compatibility (4.3V ~ 12.6V)
• 8-SOIC surface mount package format
• Operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 85°C

The MAX6141ESA+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and package configuration. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification, not functional performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX6141ESA+ is the direct functional equivalent of the MAX6141ESA with identical electrical performance across all specified parameters. Selection between these parts should be based on product lifecycle and regulatory requirements:

For new designs and systems requiring RoHS3 compliance, the MAX6141ESA+ is the appropriate selection. This part maintains active product status with full manufacturer support and meets current environmental regulations.

For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, the MAX6141ESA remains functionally equivalent. However, availability of the obsolete MAX6141ESA may be limited compared to the active MAX6141ESA+.

Both parts are manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated and share identical electrical specifications, ensuring direct pin-for-pin and functional compatibility in 8-SOIC surface mount applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX6141ESA+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX6141ESA?

A: Yes. The MAX6141ESA+ is electrically and mechanically identical to the MAX6141ESA. Both parts deliver 4.096V fixed output with ±1% tolerance, 1 mA output current, and operate within the same temperature and input voltage ranges. The 8-SOIC package dimensions are identical, enabling direct PCB substitution.

Q: What is the difference between MAX6141ESA and MAX6141ESA+?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. The MAX6141ESA is obsolete, while the MAX6141ESA+ is active. The MAX6141ESA+ is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the MAX6141ESA is RoHS non-compliant. Electrical performance and package specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the MAX6141ESA and MAX6141ESA+ use the 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) surface mount package with identical pinout and mechanical dimensions.

Q: What parameters must match for a valid substitution?

A: Critical parameters for substitution include fixed output voltage of 4.096V, ±1% tolerance, 1 mA output current, 50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 4.3V to 12.6V input voltage range, -40°C to 85°C operating temperature, and 8-SOIC package format.

Q: Is the MAX6141ESA+ available in different packaging options?

A: The MAX6141ESA+ is supplied in Tube packaging, while the original MAX6141ESA packaging specification is not detailed. Both parts use the same 8-SOIC component package for surface mount applications.
