Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX901BESE+ is the direct functional equivalent of the MAX901BESE, with identical electrical specifications and package form factor. The primary distinction is product status: the MAX901BESE is obsolete, while the MAX901BESE+ maintains active production status. Additionally, the MAX901BESE+ achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original MAX901BESE is RoHS non-compliant. Both devices share identical moisture sensitivity classification and REACH status. For new designs or production continuity where the MAX901BESE is no longer available, the MAX901BESE+ provides full electrical and mechanical compatibility without design modification.
