What is the difference between MAX667CPA and MAX6674?

Can I use a MAX666 in place of MAX667CPA?

Check the data sheets:

MAX666 is a micro power regulator, so it depends on how much power is going thru the MAX667.

Ian said that the only difference is the temperature rating and packaging. Is that true?

NO;

MAX666 max current is 40ma.
MAX667 max current is 250ma.

Did you not look at the data sheets that were posted?

You're right. So, I'm building a circuit simulation but, I can't find where the MAX667CPA is. What should I do?

Also, do you know how to unhide a hidden pin of the microcontroller?

Click to expand...

What simulation program are you using?
There is more than one to choose from.

What would happen if I use a MAX666 instead of a MAX667CPA in a voltage regulator circuit for a micro controller?
