MAX772ESA-T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX772ESA-T is a Boost Regulator Positive Output Step-Up DC-DC Controller IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated in 8-SOIC surface mount packaging. This component functions as a transistor driver for step-up (boost) topology power management applications with a single positive output phase. The device operates from a 3V to 16.5V supply and switches at 300kHz with enable control features.

The MAX772ESA-T is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain reliability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this controller.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX772ESA-T is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Topology & Function: Boost regulator with positive output step-up DC-DC controller function
• Output Type: Transistor driver with single positive output phase
• Electrical Specifications: Supply voltage range 3V ~ 16.5V, switching frequency 300kHz, enable control feature
• Thermal Range: Operating temperature -40°C ~ 85°C
• Package Compatibility: 8-SOIC surface mount package (0.154", 3.90mm width)
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 rating

The MAX771ESA+T meets all substitution criteria as a parametric equivalent. Both devices share identical electrical performance specifications, thermal operating range, package form factor, and regulatory compliance status. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: MAX772ESA-T is obsolete while MAX771ESA+T is active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX771ESA+T is a direct parametric equivalent to the MAX772ESA-T across all specified electrical, thermal, and mechanical parameters. Both devices are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory performance.

The primary advantage of selecting MAX771ESA+T is active product status. As an actively manufactured component, it provides superior supply chain availability and long-term sourcing stability compared to the obsolete MAX772ESA-T. For new designs or production continuity, MAX771ESA+T is the appropriate selection.

Both parts are functionally interchangeable within boost regulator topologies requiring 3V to 16.5V input supply, 300kHz switching operation, and single positive output phase control via enable pin in 8-SOIC surface mount packaging.
