Device identity and sourcing posture
The MAX8588ETM is a power-management IC (PMIC) designed for PDA applications, classified under Analog & Data Acquisition. It is listed as Active in lifecycle status, meaning the manufacturer continues to support production. This part is supplied in Bulk packaging. Note the RoHS compliance status: this device is RoHS non-compliant, which is a critical factor for BOMs requiring lead-free assembly.
Compliance and lifecycle detail
The part is available for new designs and ongoing production requirements. RoHS non-compliance means this PMIC uses lead-bearing solder or finishes. For projects with RoHS exemptions (e.g., certain medical or industrial equipment), this may be acceptable; for general consumer electronics, a RoHS-compliant alternative would be required.
