Phase-frequency detector in a compact package
The Maxim Integrated MAX9382EUA is a phase-frequency detector (PFD) designed for PLL-based frequency synthesis and clock-recovery loops. It compares the phase and frequency of two input signals and produces error pulses that drive a charge pump or loop filter.
RoHS status matters for assembly
The MAX9382EUA is marked RoHS non-compliant. That means the part contains lead (Pb) in the solder finish or internal construction — it is not compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles unless your assembly house has a RoHS exemption for leaded components. If your production line is fully RoHS, factor in a separate leaded solder process or look for a lead-free alternative in the same family. The date-code and lot traceability should be verified through the authorized channel or a qualified independent distributor to confirm the lead finish matches your process requirements.
Because the MAX9382EUA is active but RoHS non-compliant, it is not a high-volume commodity part stocked broadly across every distributor.
