JargMarbin Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 When I tried ordering MAX6007B it was going to cost over $1000 dollars because the mimimum order is gigantic. This is too much money and too many parts. I needed an alternative. I've seen a few postings where people are using LM385D-2-5 in a TO-92 package (http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,11647.0.html, http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,4026.msg26638.html#msg26638), but this reference is set to 2.5V (http://www.onsemi.com/pub_link/Collateral/LM285-D.PDF), which is not the same as the 2.048v of MAX6007B (http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/maxim/MAX6006A-MAX6009B.pdf). The LM385 is also less accurate then the origional MAX6007B part. The one I ordered to substitute is LM4040A20IDBZR, it's more accurate then the origional part, and the same voltage and package (http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm4040a20.pdf). I found it here:http://mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=VBduBm9rCJS7ix0kTeCDJA%3d%3d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
