FFF CompatibilityPin 12 acts as POK (Power-OK) instead of POR (Power-On Reset). While physically identical, pin 12 features immediate logic high/low state changes rather than the 140ms delay associated with the POR pin.Identical 16-TQFN (5x5) physical package dimensions and surface-mount style.Matches all major LDO electrical ratings including 4A output current, 1.425V to 3.6V input voltage range, and 0.5V minimum output voltage.Requires a different PCB footprint as it uses a 20-VQFN (5x5) package with 20 pins instead of 16 pins.Different package outline, pin count, and pitch.Maximum output current is limited to 3A compared to the original's 4A capacity, and the minimum output voltage is 0.8V instead of 0.5V.
AI Summary

MAX8557ETE+ by Analog Devices: Linear Voltage Regulator IC Positive Adjustable 1 Output 4A 16-TQFN (5x5).

This sibling part from the same family shares the exact same package and pinout, except for the logic behavior of pin 12 which changes from Power-On Reset (POR) to Power-OK (POK). It serves as a highly compatible replacement if the specific 140ms reset delay is not strictly required by the system host.

  • Identical package and footprint (16-TQFN 5x5) for physical board compatibility.
  • Matches the 4A output current capability and low dropout performance of the original.
  • Identical pin mapping for power input, output, feedback, ground, and enable pins.
  • Pin 12 functions as POK instead of POR, losing the built-in 140ms delay after the output enters regulation.

This high-performance LDO from Texas Instruments provides a robust alternative from a different manufacturer. It is rated for a slightly lower output current of 3A and requires a board redesign due to its 20-pin footprint, but offers enhanced control features such as programmable soft-start.

  • High-reliability and widely available industry-standard LDO from Texas Instruments.
  • Supports a wider input voltage range of up to 5.5V (vs. 3.6V max on the original).
  • Provides programmable Soft-Start and Power-Good monitoring capabilities.
  • Lower output current limit (3A vs. 4A).
  • Higher minimum output voltage (0.8V vs. 0.5V).

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.
