Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MAX712CPE+ (Direct Substitute): This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part number. The MAX712CPE+ carries ROHS3 compliance status, representing an improvement over the non-compliant main part. Product status is classified as Not For New Designs, indicating limited long-term availability. This substitute is suitable for legacy system maintenance and repair applications where existing inventory requires replacement.

MAX713CPE+ (Parametric Equivalent): This part satisfies all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional substitution. The MAX713CPE+ holds Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support from the manufacturer. ROHS3 compliance certification is maintained. This substitute is the preferred selection for new designs and applications requiring extended component lifecycle support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX712CPE+ and MAX713CPE+ be used interchangeably with MAX712CPE?

A: Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications (multi-chemistry support, 1-16 cell capability, constant-current charging, 5.5V maximum supply voltage, 0°C to 70°C operating range) and mechanical specifications (16-DIP through-hole package, MSL 1). Functional substitution is supported within these parameter boundaries.

Q: What is the difference between MAX712CPE+ and MAX713CPE+?

A: Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical requirements. The primary distinction is product status: MAX712CPE+ is classified as Not For New Designs, while MAX713CPE+ maintains Active status with ongoing manufacturer support and availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these part numbers?

A: All three part numbers utilize the same 16-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole package. Mounting compatibility is maintained across all substitutes.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: MAX712CPE is RoHS non-compliant. Both MAX712CPE+ and MAX713CPE+ are ROHS3 compliant. All three parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8542.39.0001) classifications.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: MAX713CPE+ is the recommended selection for new designs due to its Active product status, ensuring manufacturer support and long-term availability.
