MAX6241BESA+ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX6241BESA+ is a Series, Buried Zener Voltage Reference IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This component provides a fixed 4.096V output with ±0.1% tolerance and is designed for precision voltage reference applications requiring low noise and stable performance across industrial temperature ranges. The part is currently in active production status with 1940 units available in new original condition. Alternative equivalent parts are necessary when addressing supply chain constraints, regional availability requirements, or specific procurement specifications while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX6241BESA+ is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Fixed output voltage of 4.096V
• Output current capability of 15 mA minimum
• Voltage tolerance of ±0.1% or better
• Temperature coefficient of 7 ppm/°C or lower
• Input voltage range of 8V to 36V minimum
• Operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C minimum
• 8-SOIC surface mount package configuration
• Active product status with current manufacturing support
• ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating

Only parts meeting all these electrical and mechanical specifications qualify as direct equivalents. The MAX6241BESA+ itself represents the primary equivalent part for this reference design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX6241BESA+ is the specified component for this application and maintains active production status with confirmed inventory availability. Selection of this part is supported by ROHS3 compliance certification, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity rating suitable for standard PCB assembly processes, and REACH unaffected status for international distribution. The part carries EAR99 export classification and standard HTSUS commodity coding for unrestricted procurement channels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What defines an equivalent substitute for the MAX6241BESA+?

A: An equivalent substitute must match the fixed 4.096V output voltage, provide 15 mA output current, maintain ±0.1% tolerance, operate across the 8V to 36V input range, function within -40°C to 85°C temperature limits, and use the 8-SOIC surface mount package. All electrical performance parameters including temperature coefficient and noise specifications must be met or exceeded.

Q: Can parts with different output voltages substitute for the MAX6241BESA+?

A: No. The 4.096V fixed output is a core specification. Parts with alternative voltage outputs (such as 2.048V, 5.0V, or adjustable references) are not compatible substitutes for this application.

Q: Is the 8-SOIC package requirement strict?

A: Yes. The 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) surface mount package is the specified form factor. Alternative packages such as 8-DIP, MSOP, or other configurations are not direct substitutes without PCB redesign.

Q: What is the significance of the ±0.1% tolerance specification?

A: The ±0.1% tolerance defines the maximum allowable deviation from the 4.096V nominal output. Substitute parts must maintain this tolerance or better to ensure circuit performance within design specifications.

Q: Are there supply chain alternatives currently available?

A: The MAX6241BESA+ is in active production with 1940 units in current inventory. No alternative equivalent parts are listed in the provided substitute database.
