Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MAX6341ESA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Output Voltage: Fixed at 4.096V
• Voltage Tolerance: ±0.02%
• Temperature Coefficient: 1.5 ppm/°C
• Noise Specifications: 2.4 µVp-p (0.1Hz to 10Hz) and 2 µVrms (10Hz to 10kHz)
• Input Voltage Range: 8V ~ 36V
• Output Current Capability: 15 mA
• Package Configuration: 8-SOIC surface mount

Only parts matching all electrical and mechanical parameters are listed as direct substitutes. The MAX6341ESA+ meets these criteria while offering improved product status and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX6341ESA+ is the direct functional equivalent of the MAX6341ESA, providing identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the MAX6341ESA is obsolete, while the MAX6341ESA+ maintains active production status. Additionally, the MAX6341ESA+ meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, whereas the original part does not. Both parts carry REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

For new designs and ongoing system support where the MAX6341ESA is no longer available, the MAX6341ESA+ is the appropriate selection. The identical electrical specifications ensure drop-in compatibility without circuit redesign or performance degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX6341ESA+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX6341ESA?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including output voltage, tolerance, temperature coefficient, noise characteristics, and 8-SOIC package configuration. The MAX6341ESA+ is suitable for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between MAX6341ESA and MAX6341ESA+?

A: The parts are functionally equivalent. The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active) and RoHS compliance (non-compliant versus ROHS3 compliant). Electrical performance and package specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching from MAX6341ESA to MAX6341ESA+?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts use the same 8-SOIC surface mount package with identical pinout and electrical characteristics. PCB layout and circuit design require no modification.

Q: Why is the MAX6341ESA listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The MAX6341ESA+ remains in active production and provides equivalent functionality for all applications previously served by the MAX6341ESA.

Q: What packaging options are available for the MAX6341ESA+?

A: The MAX6341ESA+ is supplied in Tube packaging, whereas the original MAX6341ESA packaging specification was not provided. Both use the 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) component package.
