Product Numbers for Proprietary Parts
Most Maxim parts use our own part numbering system which consists of a base part
number followed by a suffix, plus optional additional designators.
Example:
(A) Base Part Number
The base part number identifies the product type, independent of package,
temperature, and other variants. Variants such as accuracy grade are usually denoted
in the suffix but sometime a variant will be assigned a new base part number.
(B) Suffix
Maxim parts have a three or four letter suffix.
• Four letter suffix
When a part has a four-letter suffix, the first letter of the suffix denotes product
grade (accuracy, speed, etc.) For example, the first "A" in MAX631ACPA
indicates 5% output accuracy. The product's full data sheet details the grades
that apply to that part. The remaining three letters conform to the rules for three-
letter suffixes.
• Three-letter suffix
The three letters denote
temperature range, package type,
and
number of pins.
The meanings are defined in the tables below.
Example: MAX696CWE
C = Operating Temperature Range C (0°C to +70°C)
W = Package Type W (SOIC 0.300")
