| FFF Compatibility | Pin 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. | ||
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.
| 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.

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 MAX8557ETE+ is active and in production. The parts listed here are qualified equivalents if you need a second source or better availability.
The closest qualified second sources for the Analog Devices MAX8557ETE+ are the MAX8556ETE+ (Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated) and the TPS74401RGWT (Texas Instruments), out of 3 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 MAX8557ETE+ 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 MAX8557ETE+ (Analog Devices) is a part in the Power Management (PMIC) category. This page lists qualified, cross-referenced replacements for it with a side-by-side comparison.
