Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX901BCPE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of comparator elements: 4
• Output type: TTL
• Supply voltage range: 5V ~ 10V (single) and ±2.5V ~ 5V (dual)
• Input offset voltage: 4mV @ ±5V maximum
• Input bias current: 10µA @ ±5V maximum
• Common-mode rejection ratio: 82.5dB minimum
• Power supply rejection ratio: 80dB minimum
• Operating temperature range: 0°C ~ 70°C
• Package type: 16-DIP through-hole
• Compliance certifications: ROHS3, MSL Level 1

The MAX901BCPE+ is identified as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and package configuration. The primary distinction is product status and packaging format.

Parameter Comparison
