Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX6162AESA is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Fixed output voltage of 2.048V
• Output current capability of 5 mA
• Tolerance specification of ±0.1%
• Temperature coefficient of 5 ppm/°C
• Noise performance (0.1Hz to 10Hz: 22 µVp-p; 10Hz to 10kHz: 25 µVrms)
• Input voltage range of 2.5V ~ 12.6V
• Supply current of 120 µA
• Operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 85°C
• 8-SOIC surface mount package

The substitute part must maintain identical electrical performance and physical compatibility to ensure direct replacement without circuit redesign or board layout modifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX6162AESA+ serves as the direct functional equivalent to the MAX6162AESA, with identical electrical specifications and package compatibility. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the MAX6162AESA is Obsolete, while the MAX6162AESA+ is Active.

For new designs or ongoing production requiring long-term supply assurance, the MAX6162AESA+ is the appropriate selection. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the original part does not satisfy.

The MAX6162AESA+ is supplied in Tube packaging, whereas the original part does not specify a packaging format. Both parts are manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated and share the same base product number (MAX6162), confirming their functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX6162AESA+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX6162AESA?

A: Yes. The MAX6162AESA+ is electrically and mechanically identical to the MAX6162AESA. All electrical parameters, including output voltage, tolerance, temperature coefficient, noise specifications, and operating ranges are equivalent. Both use the 8-SOIC surface mount package with identical pinout and footprint.

Q: What is the difference between MAX6162AESA and MAX6162AESA+?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The MAX6162AESA is Obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the MAX6162AESA+ is Active and ROHS3 Compliant. The MAX6162AESA+ is supplied in Tube packaging. Electrical performance is identical.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences?

A: No. Both parts use the 8-SOIC package with 0.154" width (3.90mm). Pinout and footprint are identical, enabling direct PCB substitution without layout modifications.

Q: Why should I transition from MAX6162AESA to MAX6162AESA+?

A: The MAX6162AESA is Obsolete, making long-term procurement difficult. The MAX6162AESA+ is an Active product with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring supply continuity and regulatory alignment for current and future production.

Q: Are there any thermal or performance considerations when substituting?

A: No. Both parts operate across the same temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) with identical temperature coefficient (5 ppm/°C) and noise specifications. Thermal and performance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What certifications apply to each part?

A: Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99. The MAX6162AESA+ additionally carries ROHS3 compliance. The MAX6162AESA does not meet RoHS requirements.
