MAX701EPA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX701EPA is a supervisor integrated circuit designed for power management applications, specifically functioning as a simple reset/power-on reset controller. This device monitors a single voltage threshold at 4.65V and provides push-pull output control with active high/active low reset capability. The MAX701EPA is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for new designs or component replenishment. Active substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering current product status and improved compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX701EPA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Functional Type: Simple Reset/Power-On Reset supervisor with single-channel voltage monitoring
• Voltage Threshold: 4.65V monitoring level
• Output Stage: Push-pull configuration with active high/active low reset capability
• Reset Timing: 200ms minimum timeout specification
• Thermal Range: -40°C to 85°C operating temperature
• Package Geometry: 8-DIP through-hole form factor with 0.300" (7.62mm) spacing
• Pin Configuration: 8-PDIP supplier package designation

The MAX701EPA+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all electrical characteristics and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to product lifecycle status and compliance certifications rather than functional performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX701EPA+ is the direct equivalent for the obsolete MAX701EPA. Selection between these parts is determined by application requirements and regulatory compliance mandates:

MAX701EPA: Use only in legacy systems where existing inventory is available and RoHS compliance is not a design requirement. Product status is obsolete, limiting long-term availability.

MAX701EPA+: Specified for new designs and production environments where active product status and ROHS3 compliance are required. This part maintains identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility while offering current manufacturing support and regulatory alignment.

Both parts share identical functional specifications, thermal operating range, package geometry, and electrical characteristics. The choice between them depends solely on product lifecycle status and compliance certification requirements for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX701EPA+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX701EPA in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MAX701EPA+ provides complete functional equivalence with identical voltage threshold (4.65V), output configuration (push-pull), reset logic (active high/active low), reset timeout (200ms minimum), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and 8-DIP package geometry. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between MAX701EPA and MAX701EPA+?

A: The MAX701EPA+ is the active production equivalent. Key differences are product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 compliant vs. non-compliant). Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts use the same 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole package with 8-PDIP supplier designation. Mounting type and pin configuration are identical.

Q: Which part should be specified for new product designs?

A: The MAX701EPA+ should be specified for new designs. It offers active product status, current manufacturing support, and ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Is the moisture sensitivity level the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: Do both parts have the same regulatory certifications?

A: Both parts share identical REACH status (REACH Unaffected), ECCN (EAR99), and HTSUS classification (8542.39.0001). The MAX701EPA+ additionally carries ROHS3 compliance certification.
