MAX882ESA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX882ESA is a linear voltage regulator IC from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, designed for positive adjustable (fixed) output applications with 200mA current capability in an 8-SOIC surface mount package. This device provides regulated power management with integrated enable and low battery detection features, along with over-current, over-temperature, and reverse polarity protection.

The MAX882ESA is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and support long-term product availability for applications currently utilizing this component.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MAX882ESA are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following criteria determine substitution validity:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Output configuration (Positive)
• Output type (Adjustable/Fixed)
• Number of regulators (1)
• Voltage specifications (Input Max: 11.5V, Output Min/Fixed: 1.25V/3.3V, Output Max: 11V)
• Dropout voltage (0.64V @ 200mA)
• Output current (200mA)
• Control features (Enable, Low Battery Detection)
• Protection features (Over Current, Over Temperature, Reverse Polarity)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• Package type (8-SOIC)

Substitute Parts Identified:

1. MAX882ESA+ - Direct manufacturer equivalent with identical electrical specifications and same package. Differs in product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 Compliant vs. non-compliant).

2. MAX884ESA+ - Parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications and same package. Differs in base product number (MAX884 vs. MAX882) while maintaining full parameter compatibility. Product status is Active with ROHS3 compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MAX882ESA+ (Direct Equivalent): This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the MAX882ESA while offering improved product status (Active). The primary advantage is ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations. This part is the preferred direct replacement when supply of the obsolete MAX882ESA is exhausted.

MAX884ESA+ (Parametric Equivalent): This part provides full electrical parameter equivalence with identical voltage, current, and control specifications. The MAX884ESA+ is also Active status with ROHS3 compliance. While the base product number differs (MAX884 vs. MAX882), all critical electrical and mechanical parameters match the original specification, supporting functional interchangeability in the application circuit.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by the same supplier (Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated) and share identical package geometry, pin configuration compatibility, and thermal characteristics with the original MAX882ESA.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX882ESA+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX882ESA? A: Yes. The MAX882ESA+ is electrically and mechanically identical to the MAX882ESA. The primary differences are product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 vs. non-compliant). Pin configuration, voltage specifications, current ratings, and package dimensions are identical.

Q: What is the difference between MAX882ESA+ and MAX884ESA+? A: Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications and package geometry. The base product number differs (MAX882 vs. MAX884), but all critical parameters—including voltage ranges, current ratings, control features, and protection mechanisms—are equivalent. Both are Active status with ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Are the substitute parts pin-compatible with the original MAX882ESA? A: Yes. Both MAX882ESA+ and MAX884ESA+ use the same 8-SOIC package with identical pin configuration and spacing (0.154", 3.90mm width). No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect functionality? A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical performance. Both ROHS3-compliant substitutes deliver identical functional performance to the non-compliant original part.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs? A: For new designs, either MAX882ESA+ or MAX884ESA+ is acceptable based on electrical equivalence. Selection may depend on supplier availability, lead time, and inventory levels. Both parts are Active status with ROHS3 compliance, supporting long-term supply chain reliability.

Q: Are there any thermal or operating condition differences? A: No. All three parts share identical operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), thermal characteristics, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited). Thermal performance and reliability are equivalent across all variants.
