MAX9013EUA-T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX9013EUA-T is a single-channel comparator with integrated latch functionality, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This device operates as a complementary TTL output comparator in an 8-pin surface mount package (8-TSSOP/8-MSOP). The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. Substitute parts must maintain electrical compatibility across supply voltage, input offset, bias current, output characteristics, and propagation delay specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MAX9013EUA-T are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Output type: Complementary TTL configuration
• Latch functionality: Integrated state retention
• Supply voltage compatibility: 4.5V ~ 5.5V single supply operation
• Input offset voltage: Maximum 3mV specification
• Propagation delay: Maximum 9ns response time
• Package compatibility: 8-pin surface mount (8-TSSOP/8-MSOP)
• Number of elements: Single comparator channel

Substitution Categories:

Direct Equivalent (Same Packaging): MAX9013EUA+T maintains identical electrical specifications and packaging, differing only in product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. standard).

Cross-Manufacturer Alternative: TL3116CPWR (Texas Instruments) provides comparable comparator functionality with complementary TTL outputs. This part operates within an extended supply voltage range (5V ~ 10V, ±2.5V ~ 5V) and maintains similar input offset voltage and propagation delay characteristics. However, it is classified as a general-purpose comparator without integrated latch functionality, requiring external latch implementation if state retention is required in the application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Recommended Primary Option):

MAX9013EUA+T is the preferred substitute for MAX9013EUA-T. Both parts are manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated and maintain identical electrical specifications, operating temperature range, and package dimensions. The primary distinction is product status: MAX9013EUA+T is Active, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The packaging format difference (Tape & Reel vs. standard) does not affect electrical performance or pin compatibility.

For Cross-Manufacturer Substitution (Conditional):

TL3116CPWR (Texas Instruments) may be considered only when the integrated latch functionality is not required in the application circuit. This part provides comparable comparator performance with complementary TTL outputs and superior CMRR (100dB vs. 95dB). However, the following limitations apply:

• Operating temperature range is restricted to 0°C ~ 70°C (vs. -40°C ~ 85°C for MAX9013EUA-T), making it unsuitable for industrial or extended temperature applications.
• Output current is reduced to 20mA (vs. 40mA), limiting drive capability.
• Quiescent current is significantly higher at 14.7mA (vs. 2.3mA), increasing power consumption.
• Propagation delay is 12ns (vs. 9ns), introducing additional latency.
• Package width differs (0.173" vs. 0.118"), requiring PCB layout verification.
• Latch functionality must be implemented externally if state retention is required.

Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical REACH and ECCN classifications as the main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX9013EUA+T be used as a direct drop-in replacement for MAX9013EUA-T?

A: Yes. MAX9013EUA+T is electrically and mechanically identical to MAX9013EUA-T. Both parts share the same pin configuration, electrical specifications, and 8-TSSOP/8-MSOP package dimensions. The only differences are product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging format (Tape & Reel). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the key difference between MAX9013EUA-T and TL3116CPWR?

A: The MAX9013EUA-T includes integrated latch functionality for state retention, while TL3116CPWR is a general-purpose comparator without this feature. Additionally, TL3116CPWR has a narrower operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C vs. -40°C ~ 85°C), lower output current (20mA vs. 40mA), and higher quiescent current (14.7mA vs. 2.3mA). TL3116CPWR is suitable only for applications that do not require integrated latch capability and operate within the 0°C ~ 70°C temperature range.

Q: Are there package compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: MAX9013EUA+T uses the same 8-TSSOP/8-MSOP package as MAX9013EUA-T with identical 0.118" (3.00mm) width, ensuring full PCB compatibility. TL3116CPWR uses an 8-TSSOP package with 0.173" (4.40mm) width, which is physically larger. PCB layout verification is required before substituting with TL3116CPWR to confirm pad spacing and thermal management compatibility.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. MAX9013EUA+T and TL3116CPWR are both ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: What is the impact of using TL3116CPWR in a temperature-critical application?

A: TL3116CPWR operates only within 0°C ~ 70°C, which excludes it from industrial applications requiring -40°C ~ 85°C operation. If your application requires extended temperature range operation, MAX9013EUA+T is the only suitable substitute. Verify your application's temperature requirements before selecting TL3116CPWR.

Q: How does the propagation delay difference affect circuit performance?

A: MAX9013EUA-T and MAX9013EUA+T both specify 9ns maximum propagation delay, while TL3116CPWR specifies 12ns. In timing-critical applications, this 3ns difference may be significant. Verify that your circuit timing margins accommodate the 12ns delay if using TL3116CPWR as a substitute.
