Replacement verdict
Compatible functional replacement candidate
The AD590MH is a functionally compatible replacement candidate for the AD590JH, sharing the same temperature-to-current output topology, package footprint, and supply range, with the MH grade offering a tighter linearity specification over the full military temperature range. Designers should confirm the tighter accuracy class and extended temperature grade align with their application requirements before substituting.

Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices
| Parameter | AD590JH | AD590MH | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temperature Accuracy (Calibration Error at 25°C) | ±5.0°C max | ±0.5°C max | Determines the initial uncalibrated measurement error; the MH grade offers roughly 10x tighter accuracy, which is critical for precision sensing without individual trimming. |
| Grade / Accuracy Class | J grade (standard) | M grade (high accuracy) | The grade defines the guaranteed error budget and screening level; substituting a J for an M (or vice versa) changes system accuracy expectations. |
| Operating Temperature Range | -55°C to +150°C | -55°C to +150°C | Both cover the full military-grade range, so environmental capability is equivalent and not a differentiator for substitutability. |
| Nonlinearity | ±0.3°C max (over rated range) | ±0.3°C max (over rated range) | Nonlinearity sets the deviation from ideal output-versus-temperature slope; identical values mean linearity performance is the same across both grades. |
| Output Current Sensitivity | 1 µA/K | 1 µA/K | The 1 µA/K transfer function is the core interface characteristic; matching values ensures the same signal conditioning and readout circuitry can be reused. |
| Supply Voltage Range | +4 V to +30 V | +4 V to +30 V | Defines compatible power rails; identical ranges mean either part can drop into the same supply design. |
| Package | TO-52 (metal can) | TO-52 (metal can) | Footprint and thermal mounting must match for a drop-in replacement; identical packages allow direct board substitution. |
| Long-Term Drift | ±0.1°C max (per datasheet) | ±0.1°C max (per datasheet) | Drift affects stability over time; equal specifications indicate comparable long-term reliability for both grades. |
