The MAX7347AEE+ is a specialized interface IC from Analog Devices, not a crystal or oscillator despite the category listing. It communicates over I²C and is designed for sound cards, players, and recorders — think volume control, mute, or mode switching in an audio path. Supply range is 2.4V to 3.6V, which covers common 3.3V and 2.5V audio rails. The 16-SSOP package (0.154", 3.90mm width) is a fine-pitch SOIC variant — reworkable with a hot-air station if you preheat the board to 100°C and keep the nozzle off the plastic.
Package and mounting
Delivered in a Tube, so parts arrive loose — easier to hand-place than tape-and-reel. The body is 3.90 mm wide with a 0.154" nominal width. Surface-mount only — no through-hole variant. The 16-QSOP supplier device package is a tighter version of the SSOP; same footprint, slightly thinner body. If your layout calls for QSOP, the MAX7347AEE+ lands directly.
Lifecycle and supply posture
Analog Devices lists the MAX7347AEE+ as Active and ROHS3 compliant. For current BOM lines, this part is a safe long-term selection — no forced redesign horizon. Sourced per RFQ against your BOM quantity.
