MAX883MPA/PR+ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX883MPA/PR+ is a linear voltage regulator IC from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, designed for positive adjustable (fixed) output applications with 200mA current capability. This through-hole 8-DIP package component is classified as active product status and serves as a fundamental building block in power management circuits requiring regulated DC voltage outputs with integrated protection features including over-current, over-temperature, and reverse polarity protection.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when supply chain constraints occur, or when design flexibility is required across multiple procurement channels while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX883MPA/PR+ is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Performance Criteria:

• Output configuration (Positive)
• Output type (Adjustable/Fixed capability)
• Voltage input maximum rating (11.5V)
• Voltage output range (1.25V minimum to 11V maximum, with 5V fixed option)
• Dropout voltage specification (0.44V @ 200mA)
• Output current capacity (200mA)
• Quiescent current (30 µA)
• Control features (Enable, Low Battery Detection)
• Protection features (Over Current, Over Temperature, Reverse Polarity)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)

Mechanical & Packaging Criteria:

• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Package type (8-DIP with 0.300" / 7.62mm pitch)
• Supplier device package (8-PDIP)

Compliance & Regulatory Criteria:

• RoHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

Only parts meeting all specified electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters qualify as direct substitutes. The MAX883MPA/PR+ represents the direct manufacturer part number from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated with active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX883MPA/PR+ maintains active product status from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The component carries ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

Selection of equivalent parts should prioritize components with identical active product status and matching compliance certifications. The through-hole 8-DIP package format and specified electrical parameters establish the baseline for direct substitution eligibility. All substitute candidates must demonstrate equivalent performance across the complete parameter set, including dropout voltage, quiescent current, and integrated protection features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes a part a direct substitute for the MAX883MPA/PR+?

A: A direct substitute must match all electrical specifications (voltage ratings, current capacity, dropout voltage, quiescent current), control and protection features, operating temperature range, package type (8-DIP through-hole), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH status, MSL rating).

Q: Can I use a different package variant of the MAX883 series?

A: No. The MAX883MPA/PR+ is specified for 8-DIP through-hole mounting. Alternative package types (such as surface-mount variants) are not substitutes, as they require different PCB layout, assembly processes, and handling procedures.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.44V dropout voltage specification?

A: The maximum dropout voltage of 0.44V at 200mA output current defines the minimum input voltage required to maintain regulated output. This parameter must be matched exactly in substitute parts to ensure proper circuit operation across the specified input voltage range.

Q: Are there alternative manufacturers offering equivalent MAX883 regulators?

A: Substitution is limited to parts meeting all specified parameters from the provided input data. Only parts explicitly listed as substitutes with identical electrical and mechanical characteristics qualify for direct replacement.

Q: Why is the 8-PDIP package specification important?

A: The 8-PDIP package designation specifies the physical form factor, pin configuration, and through-hole mounting requirements. This ensures mechanical compatibility with existing PCB designs and assembly equipment without requiring design modifications.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity mean?

A: MSL 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. This simplifies inventory management and reduces procurement complexity compared to higher MSL ratings.
