MAX336CWI

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX336CWI+ is a monolithic CMOS analog multiplexer featuring 16 channels. It connects one of 16 inputs to a common output via a 4-bit binary address. The device operates from single +4.5V to +30V or dual ±4.5V to ±20V supplies. Key electrical parameters include an on-resistance maximum of 700Ω (single supply) or 500Ω (dual supply), transition time up to 600ns, and enable turn-on/off times up to 750ns. Leakage currents are less than 20pA off-state at +25°C. It provides over 2000V ESD protection per method 3015.7 and features TTL-compatible control inputs.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'W' corresponds to the Wide SO-28 package configuration required for your layout. Confirm that the 'C' designation aligns with the commercial 0°C to +70°C operating temperature range for your application environment. Ensure RoHS compliance requirements match the '+' suffix indication in the ordering information.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when a high channel count is required within a single package. Consider the MAX337 if only eight channels are needed for a smaller footprint. Evaluate the MAX336E variant if operation below 0°C or above +70°C is necessary. Verify that the 700Ω on-resistance meets the voltage drop requirements of your specific load conditions.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX336/MAX337 family of low-leakage CMOS analog multiplexers manufactured by Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated. It serves as a pin-compatible upgrade for industry-standard DG506 devices. The family includes variants with different temperature ratings and package types such as Plastic DIP, SSOP, and TSSOP.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The MAX336CWI+ is explicitly documented as a pin-compatible upgrade for the DG506. Designers replacing legacy parts should verify that the original DG506 specifications meet the performance criteria of the MAX336 regarding leakage and on-resistance.
