MAX038CWP+

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Overview

The MAX038CWP+ is a function generator integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and supports frequencies up to 40MHz. The device features CMOS or TTL compatible inputs and outputs, with a single internal circuit configuration. Designed for surface-mount installation, it is housed in a 20-SOIC package (0.295 inch width). The component functions as a clock generator and supports frequency division and multiplication capabilities.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Procurement Notes

The MAX038CWP+ is listed as obsolete and discontinued by the manufacturer. Availability is restricted, and distributors may not stock this item. Verification of current lifecycle status and potential end-of-life constraints is required before integration into new designs.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Selection Notes

Designers should consider the 40MHz maximum frequency limit and the specific 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage requirement. The 20-SOIC package dimensions must be accommodated in the PCB layout. Since the part is discontinued, alternative components with similar waveform generation capabilities and interface compatibility should be evaluated for long-term production viability.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX038 series of function generators. It is distinct from other Maxim Integrated products such as the MAX3186CWP+ RS-232 transceiver or the MAX4038EUA+ operational amplifier, which serve different interface and amplification purposes respectively. The MAX038 series is specifically categorized under clock generators and timer ICs.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the discontinued status, engineers must identify functional equivalents based on specific electrical parameters and pinout compatibility.
