FFF CompatibilityPin assignments are identical, allowing for a direct, drop-in replacement without any schematic changes.Matches the physical 28-pin SSOP (0.209" width) package and pad layout.Matches or exceeds all original electrical specifications and ratings, simply transitioning the legacy part to RoHS-compliance.Pins 3 and 13 are latch control pins (RS and WR) on the ADG426, whereas they are No-Connect (NC) pins on the original MAX396. These pins must be tied high/handled if retrofitting on an existing PCB.Both parts utilize the identical standard 28-pin SSOP package footprint.Provides excellent 16:1 analog switching function with comparable switching speeds and lower channel-to-channel matching variance.
AI Summary

MAX396CAI by Analog Devices: 1 Circuit IC Switch 16:1 100Ohm 28-SSOP.

This is the direct, lead-free (RoHS-compliant) equivalent to the obsolete leaded MAX396CAI, offering a perfect drop-in replacement with no modifications required.

  • Exact pin-compatible drop-in replacement
  • Identical low on-resistance of 100 Ohm max
  • Identical supply voltage range: 2.7V to 16V single or ±2.7V to ±8V dual

An excellent option sharing the exact same 28-SSOP footprint, though the addition of on-chip address latches on pins 3 and 13 requires careful verification of floating pins on legacy layouts.

  • Shares the exact physical 28-SSOP footprint dimensions
  • Lower on-resistance of 80 Ohm max compared to 100 Ohm max on the original
  • Active product family with excellent longevity
  • Requires pins 3 (RS) and 13 (WR) to be handled instead of left floating
  • Higher leakage current limit of 500pA vs 100pA on the original

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.

  1. All your BOM, at once

    Parter maps every line to live stock, lead time, lifecycle and compliance data across the entire market — not part by part.

  2. Hear about problems before they hit production

    Allocation, EOL and last-time-buy notices surface the moment they appear, not when your buyer's PO bounces.

  3. Qualified replacements in minutes, not days

    Every at-risk line gets form-fit-function matches like the ones above — deltas flagged, evidence attached. Review, push to your BOM, and Parter starts watching the new part too.
