MAX901BCSE-T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX901BCSE-T is a general-purpose comparator IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, featuring four independent comparator elements in a 16-SOIC surface mount package. This device is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for new designs or component replenishment. The MAX901BCSE-T operates across single and dual supply voltage ranges (5V ~ 10V, ±2.5V ~ 5V) with TTL output configuration, making it suitable for precision signal comparison applications requiring low input offset voltage and controlled quiescent current characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX901BCSE-T is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Number of comparator elements (4 required), output type (TTL), supply voltage range compatibility (5V ~ 10V, ±2.5V ~ ±5V), input offset voltage specification (4mV @ ±5V maximum), input bias current (10µA @ ±5V maximum), quiescent current ratings (15mA, 12mA, 6mA), common-mode rejection ratio and power supply rejection ratio performance (82.5dB CMRR, 80dB PSRR), operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C), and package configuration (16-SOIC surface mount).

The identified substitute maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility, differing only in packaging format and product lifecycle status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX901BCSE+T serves as the direct functional equivalent to the MAX901BCSE-T. Both devices are manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the MAX901BCSE-T is classified as obsolete, while the MAX901BCSE+T maintains active status with current manufacturing support.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly and storage protocols. The packaging format difference (tube versus tape & reel) reflects standard industry practice for active versus obsolete product lines and does not affect functional performance or pin configuration.

Selection of the MAX901BCSE+T is appropriate for applications requiring long-term component availability, supply chain continuity, and manufacturer support. The active product status ensures access to technical documentation, application support, and consistent manufacturing quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the MAX901BCSE-T and MAX901BCSE+T electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both devices feature identical electrical specifications including supply voltage range (5V ~ 10V, ±2.5V ~ ±5V), input offset voltage (4mV @ ±5V), input bias current (10µA @ ±5V), quiescent current ratings (15mA, 12mA, 6mA), and frequency response characteristics (82.5dB CMRR, 80dB PSRR). Pin configuration and functional behavior are identical.

Q: What is the difference between MAX901BCSE-T and MAX901BCSE+T?

A: The devices are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary differences are packaging format (tube versus tape & reel) and product lifecycle status (obsolete versus active). The MAX901BCSE+T is the current production equivalent with ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: Can I use MAX901BCSE+T in place of MAX901BCSE-T on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. The 16-SOIC package configuration, pin assignments, and electrical characteristics are identical. No PCB modifications or design changes are required for substitution.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the MAX901BCSE-T and MAX901BCSE+T are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: Why is the MAX901BCSE-T listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The MAX901BCSE+T represents the active equivalent and is recommended for new designs and component replenishment to ensure supply chain continuity and manufacturer support.
