|---|---|---|---|---|
| FFF Compatibility | The part is in the identical 28-pin SSOP footprint and shares the exact pinout of the original obsolete part.Shares identical physical package type and dimensions (28-pin SSOP, 5.30mm width).Identical electrical specifications including voltage ratings, R_on, leakage current, and temperature range. | The pinout assignment is pin-for-pin identical to the original part, but the package footprint is TSSOP instead of SSOP.The 28-TSSOP package shares a similar shape and the same 0.65mm pitch but has a narrower 4.40mm body width compared to the 5.30mm SSOP.Offers superior dynamic specifications (speed, capacitance, charge injection) although on-resistance is higher (200 Ohm vs 100 Ohm). | ||
 AI Summary | MAX396CAI by Analog Devices: 1 Circuit IC Switch 16:1 100Ohm 28-SSOP. | This is the direct lead-free (RoHS-compliant) upgrade sibling of the obsolete MAX396CAI. It serves as a true drop-in replacement requiring absolutely no physical or electrical design changes.
| Highly recommended by DigiKey as a similar substitution, this modern 16:1 multiplexer features identical pinout mapping but in a slightly narrower 28-TSSOP package. It provides massive improvements in bandwidth, leakage, and capacitance at the trade-off of higher on-resistance.

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.
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.
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.
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.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The Analog Devices MAX396CAI is marked obsolete, so the manufacturer has discontinued it and any remaining supply is limited to distributor stock. The qualified second sources on this page are active parts you can design in today.
The closest qualified second sources for the Analog Devices MAX396CAI are the MAX396CAI+ (Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated) and the ADG1206YRUZ (Analog Devices Inc.), out of 5 matched alternatives in total. Each is compared against the original on fit, form and function in the table above.
Not always. The alternatives to the MAX396CAI are matched on function but can differ in package, pinout or a key parameter, so review the fit/form/function notes in the table and the datasheet before designing one in.
The MAX396CAI (Analog Devices) is a part in the Interface category. This page lists qualified, cross-referenced replacements for it with a side-by-side comparison.
