Package and footprint
Housed in an 8-µMAX package (3.00mm width, MSOP-8 footprint), the MAX817LCUA is a surface-mount part suited for compact PCBs. The 8-µMAX shares the same 0.65mm pin pitch as a standard MSOP-8, so layout is straightforward. No heatsinking needed — the supervisor draws negligible current in normal operation.
RoHS status — a sourcing flag
This part is listed as RoHS non-compliant. If your assembly line or contract manufacturer requires lead-free / RoHS-compliant materials, the MAX817LCUA will not pass incoming inspection. For legacy builds or military/aerospace programs that still accept tin-lead finishes, it remains a valid choice. Confirm with your compliance team before committing the BOM.
