MAX336EAI+

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX336EAI+ 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 a maximum on-resistance of 400Ω at +25°C and off-leakage currents below 20pA at +25°C. It provides over 2000V ESD protection per method 3015.7. The component is housed in a 28-pin SSOP package and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EAI+' corresponds to the required industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and the 28-pin SSOP package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the '+' designation. Ensure the ordering documentation matches the exact Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated part number to avoid pinout mismatches with legacy components.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-channel analog switch is required with low leakage characteristics. Verify that the supply voltage requirements align with the single or dual supply capabilities. Consider the 400Ω on-resistance limit for signal integrity. Ensure the application environment falls within the specified -40°C to +85°C operational temperature range for the 'E' grade variant.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX336/MAX337 family of low-leakage CMOS analog multiplexers. It serves as a pin-compatible upgrade for industry-standard DG506 devices. The MAX336 variant specifically provides 16 channels, whereas the MAX337 offers dual 8-channel configurations. Both share similar electrical characteristics and packaging options within the product line.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The MAX336EAI+ is a direct pin-compatible replacement for the DG506. Designers upgrading from older CMOS muxes should verify that the improved leakage specifications and ESD protection levels meet the new system requirements without necessitating circuit layout changes.
