MAX883ESA Linear Voltage Regulator IC

Part Overview

The MAX883ESA is a linear voltage regulator IC from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, classified as a Power Management (PMIC) component. This device functions as a positive adjustable (fixed) output regulator capable of delivering 200mA output current in an 8-SOIC surface mount package. The MAX883ESA is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX883ESA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Output configuration (Positive)
• Output type (Adjustable/Fixed)
• Number of regulators (1)
• Output current rating (200mA)
• Input voltage range (Max 11.5V)
• Output voltage range (Min 1.25V, Max 11V)
• Dropout voltage specification (0.44V @ 200mA)
• Control features (Enable, Low Battery Detection)
• Protection features (Over Current, Over Temperature, Reverse Polarity)
• Package type (8-SOIC)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)

The MAX883ESA+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and package configuration. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX883ESA+ is the direct functional equivalent of the MAX883ESA. Both devices share identical electrical characteristics, pin configuration, and package specifications. The MAX883ESA+ maintains active product status with Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, whereas the MAX883ESA is classified as obsolete.

For new designs or component replenishment, the MAX883ESA+ is the appropriate selection. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. The MAX883ESA+ is available in tube packaging format, which is standard for active production components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAX883ESA+ be used as a direct replacement for the MAX883ESA?

A: Yes. The MAX883ESA+ is electrically and mechanically identical to the MAX883ESA. Both devices feature the same output current rating (200mA), voltage specifications, control features, protection mechanisms, and 8-SOIC package configuration. The primary difference is product status: the MAX883ESA is obsolete while the MAX883ESA+ is active.

Q: What is the significance of the "+" designation in the MAX883ESA+?

A: The "+" suffix indicates the active production variant of the MAX883 base product number. This designation reflects current manufacturing status and packaging format (tube) rather than functional or electrical differences.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the MAX883ESA+ for the MAX883ESA?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The devices are pin-for-pin compatible and functionally equivalent. PCB layout, schematic connections, and application circuits require no modification.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility for this regulator?

A: Substitution is determined by matching output configuration (positive), output type (adjustable/fixed), output current (200mA), input voltage range (11.5V max), output voltage range (1.25V to 11V), dropout voltage (0.44V @ 200mA), control features (enable, low battery detection), protection features (over current, over temperature, reverse polarity), and package type (8-SOIC).

Q: Is the MAX883ESA+ compliant with current environmental and export regulations?

A: Yes. The MAX883ESA+ is ROHS3 compliant and carries EAR99 export classification, consistent with the obsolete MAX883ESA.
