MAX9013ESA-T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX9013ESA-T is a single-channel comparator with integrated latch functionality, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This device features complementary TTL output and is housed in an 8-SOIC surface mount package. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable alternatives essential for ongoing production and design continuity. Equivalent and substitute parts must maintain functional compatibility across critical electrical parameters including supply voltage, input offset voltage, output characteristics, and propagation delay specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX9013ESA-T is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Supply voltage range must encompass or match 4.5V ~ 5.5V
• Input offset voltage maximum of 3mV or better
• Output type must be complementary TTL
• Propagation delay must not exceed 9ns
• Operating temperature range must cover -40°C ~ 85°C or be suitable for the application's thermal requirements

Mechanical & Packaging Requirements:

• Package type must be 8-SOIC or compatible surface mount equivalent
• Pin configuration must support direct substitution

Compliance Requirements:

• ROHS3 compliance required
• MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) preferred

Identified Substitutes:

1. MAX9013ESA+T (Parametric Equivalent): Identical electrical specifications with active product status and tape & reel packaging. Direct functional replacement with improved availability.

2. TL3116CD (MFR Recommended): Texas Instruments general-purpose comparator with complementary TTL output. Supports extended supply voltage range (5V ~ 10V, ±2.5V ~ 5V) and maintains 8-SOIC package compatibility. Operates within -40°C ~ 85°C range when configured for single-supply operation. Last Time Buy status requires evaluation for long-term sourcing.

3. TL3116CPW (MFR Recommended): Texas Instruments equivalent in 8-TSSOP package. Identical electrical performance to TL3116CD with different package form factor. Obsolete status limits future availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: MAX9013ESA+T

The MAX9013ESA+T is the optimal direct replacement for the MAX9013ESA-T. It maintains identical electrical specifications, active product status, and ROHS3 compliance. The only difference is packaging format (tape & reel versus tube), which does not affect functional performance. Current inventory of 3030 units ensures availability for production requirements.

Secondary Recommendation: TL3116CD

The TL3116CD from Texas Instruments provides functional equivalence with the following considerations:

• Electrical specifications are compatible within the 5V single-supply operating range
• Propagation delay of 12ns exceeds the MAX9013ESA-T specification by 3ns; verify timing-critical applications can tolerate this variance
• Quiescent current is 6.4× higher (14.7mA vs. 2.3mA); evaluate power consumption impact
• Output current capability is reduced to 20mA versus 40mA; confirm load requirements are met
• Operating temperature range of 0°C ~ 70°C is narrower than the original specification; applications requiring -40°C operation are not supported
• Last Time Buy status indicates limited future availability; long-term sourcing strategy required

Tertiary Recommendation: TL3116CPW

The TL3116CPW offers identical electrical performance to TL3116CD with 8-TSSOP package form factor. Obsolete product status and narrower operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C) make this option suitable only for applications where package footprint constraints override availability concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX9013ESA+T be used as a direct drop-in replacement for MAX9013ESA-T?

A: Yes. The MAX9013ESA+T is electrically and functionally identical to the MAX9013ESA-T. The only difference is packaging format (tape & reel versus tube). Both parts are housed in 8-SOIC packages with identical pin configurations and electrical specifications. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What are the key differences between MAX9013ESA-T and TL3116CD?

A: The TL3116CD differs in four areas: (1) Propagation delay is 12ns versus 9ns, adding 3ns latency; (2) Quiescent current is 14.7mA versus 2.3mA, increasing power consumption; (3) Output current is 20mA versus 40mA, reducing drive capability; (4) Operating temperature range is 0°C ~ 70°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C, limiting low-temperature operation. Verify your application can tolerate these variances before substitution.

Q: Is the TL3116CD suitable for applications requiring -40°C operation?

A: No. The TL3116CD operating temperature range is 0°C ~ 70°C, which does not support -40°C operation. The MAX9013ESA+T maintains the original -40°C ~ 85°C range and is the recommended choice for extended temperature applications.

Q: Can TL3116CPW replace MAX9013ESA-T in existing PCB designs?

A: No. The TL3116CPW uses an 8-TSSOP package (0.173", 4.40mm width) versus the 8-SOIC package (0.154", 3.90mm width) of the MAX9013ESA-T. PCB layout modifications are required. Additionally, the narrower operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C) and obsolete product status make this substitution inadvisable.

Q: What is the impact of increased quiescent current in TL3116CD?

A: The TL3116CD draws 14.7mA quiescent current compared to 2.3mA for MAX9013ESA-T. In battery-powered or low-power applications, this 6.4× increase may be significant. Calculate total system power consumption to determine if this variance is acceptable for your design.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. MAX9013ESA+T, TL3116CD, and TL3116CPW are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), matching the original MAX9013ESA-T compliance profile.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability?

A: MAX9013ESA+T is the only active product among the substitutes, with current inventory of 3030 units. TL3116CD is Last Time Buy status, and TL3116CPW is obsolete. For designs requiring long-term production support, MAX9013ESA+T is the only viable option.
