MAX996EUD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX996EUD is a general-purpose CMOS comparator with open-drain, rail-to-rail output and TTL compatibility, housed in a 14-TSSOP surface-mount package. This device integrates four independent comparator elements suitable for analog signal comparison applications across a wide supply voltage range.

The MAX996EUD is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and support ongoing production or maintenance of systems utilizing this comparator.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX996EUD is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Functional Architecture: Four independent comparator elements with identical output configuration (CMOS, open-drain, rail-to-rail, TTL-compatible)
• Electrical Performance: Matching supply voltage range (2.5V ~ 5.5V single, ±1.25V ~ 2.75V dual), input offset voltage (5mV @ 5.5V), input bias current (1pA @ 5.5V), quiescent current (96µA), CMRR/PSRR (80dB), propagation delay (210ns), and hysteresis (±2.5mV)
• Package Compatibility: 14-TSSOP surface-mount package with identical pinout and mechanical dimensions (0.173", 4.40mm width)
• Environmental & Compliance: Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), ROHS3 compliance, and MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)

The MAX996EUD+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete parameter equivalence and identical package specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX996EUD+ is the direct substitute for the MAX996EUD. Both parts are manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated and maintain identical electrical specifications, package configuration, and compliance certifications.

The primary distinction is product status: the MAX996EUD is obsolete, while the MAX996EUD+ is active. For new designs or ongoing production requiring this comparator topology, the MAX996EUD+ should be selected to ensure long-term supply availability and manufacturer support.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), making them suitable for standard surface-mount assembly processes without additional handling precautions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAX996EUD+ be used as a direct replacement for the MAX996EUD?

A: Yes. The MAX996EUD+ is electrically and mechanically identical to the MAX996EUD. All electrical parameters, package dimensions, pinout, and compliance certifications are equivalent. The primary difference is product status: MAX996EUD+ is active, while MAX996EUD is obsolete.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging between these parts?

A: Both parts use the 14-TSSOP surface-mount package with identical mechanical dimensions (0.173", 4.40mm width). The MAX996EUD is supplied in standard packaging, while the MAX996EUD+ is supplied in tube packaging. This difference does not affect electrical performance or PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitutability for the MAX996EUD?

A: Substitution is determined by: four comparator elements, CMOS open-drain rail-to-rail TTL output, supply voltage range (2.5V ~ 5.5V single, ±1.25V ~ 2.75V dual), input offset voltage (5mV @ 5.5V), input bias current (1pA @ 5.5V), quiescent current (96µA), CMRR/PSRR (80dB), propagation delay (210ns), hysteresis (±2.5mV), operating temperature (-40°C ~ 85°C), and 14-TSSOP package configuration.

Q: Is the MAX996EUD+ suitable for new production designs?

A: Yes. The MAX996EUD+ is an active product with full manufacturer support. It is recommended for all new designs requiring this comparator specification.

Q: Do these parts require special handling during assembly?

A: Both parts carry MSL rating 1 (unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard surface-mount assembly processes and storage conditions are appropriate.
