PS385ESE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PS385ESE is a 2-circuit IC switch with DPST-NO configuration manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. This component functions as a 2:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer with 30Ohm on-state resistance in a 16-SOIC surface mount package. The PS385ESE is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and production continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PS385ESE is determined by the following critical parameters:

Functional Requirements:

  • Switch circuit type: DPST - NO
  • Multiplexer configuration: 2:1
  • Number of circuits: 2
  • Package type: 16-SOIC

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

  • On-state resistance tolerance: Maximum 35Ohm (allowing up to 5Ohm increase from 30Ohm baseline)
  • Supply voltage range: Minimum 3V ~ 15V (single) or ±3V ~ 8V (dual)
  • Operating temperature range: Must encompass or match -40°C ~ 85°C
  • Switch timing: Acceptable within design margin

Compliance Considerations:

  • RoHS compliance status
  • Moisture sensitivity level
  • REACH and ECCN classifications

The MAX385CSE+ from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated meets the functional and electrical substitution criteria for the PS385ESE.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX385CSE+ is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the PS385ESE. Selection of this alternative is justified by the following factors:

Product Status: The PS385ESE is obsolete, while the MAX385CSE+ is in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance: The MAX385CSE+ is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and manufacturing. The PS385ESE is RoHS non-compliant, which may restrict its use in certain applications and markets.

Functional Equivalence: Both components share identical switch circuit topology (DPST - NO), multiplexer configuration (2:1), circuit count (2), supply voltage ranges, and crosstalk performance.

Performance Trade-offs: The MAX385CSE+ exhibits measurable differences in three parameters: on-state resistance increases by 5Ohm (30Ohm to 35Ohm), switch timing increases (Ton: 130ns to 175ns; Toff: 75ns to 100ns), and leakage current doubles (100pA to 200pA). These differences are acceptable for applications where the original PS385ESE specifications provided design margin.

Temperature Range Limitation: The MAX385CSE+ operates over 0°C ~ 70°C, compared to the PS385ESE range of -40°C ~ 85°C. Applications requiring the full -40°C ~ 85°C range must verify that the reduced temperature specification of the substitute is acceptable for the intended operating environment.

Package Consideration: Both components use 16-SOIC packaging. Physical dimensions differ (7.50mm vs. 3.90mm width), requiring PCB layout verification to confirm mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAX385CSE+ directly replace the PS385ESE without circuit modifications?

A: The MAX385CSE+ is functionally equivalent for most applications. However, verify that the increased on-state resistance (35Ohm vs. 30Ohm), slower switch timing (175ns/100ns vs. 130ns/75ns), and doubled leakage current (200pA vs. 100pA) are acceptable for your specific circuit design. The reduced operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C vs. -40°C ~ 85°C) must also be confirmed as compatible with your application environment.

Q: Are there pinout differences between the PS385ESE and MAX385CSE+?

A: Both components use 16-SOIC packaging. Verify pinout compatibility in the respective component datasheets before substitution, as pin assignments may differ between manufacturers.

Q: What is the significance of the different 16-SOIC package widths (7.50mm vs. 3.90mm)?

A: The package width difference indicates different physical dimensions. PCB footprint and layout must be verified to ensure the MAX385CSE+ fits the existing PS385ESE pad pattern. Consult component datasheets for precise dimensional specifications.

Q: Why is the MAX385CSE+ operating temperature range narrower than the PS385ESE?

A: The MAX385CSE+ is specified for 0°C ~ 70°C operation, while the PS385ESE covers -40°C ~ 85°C. Applications requiring operation below 0°C or above 70°C cannot use the MAX385CSE+ as a substitute. Verify your application's temperature requirements before selection.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution decisions?

A: The MAX385CSE+ is ROHS3 compliant, while the PS385ESE is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations, the MAX385CSE+ is the appropriate choice. For legacy systems where RoHS compliance is not required, either component may be used based on availability and performance requirements.

Q: What is the impact of increased channel-to-channel matching (ΔRon) in the MAX385CSE+?

A: The MAX385CSE+ has a channel-to-channel matching specification of 500mOhm compared to 200mOhm for the PS385ESE. This indicates reduced precision in resistance matching between channels. Applications sensitive to channel-to-channel resistance variation must evaluate whether this difference affects circuit performance.
