MAX336EPI

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX336EPI+ 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. On-resistance is 400Ω (max) at +25°C, extending to 500Ω across the temperature range. Off-leakage is less than 20pA at +25°C and 1.25nA at extreme temperatures. Transition time is 500ns maximum. It includes over 2000V ESD protection and TTL-compatible control inputs.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' confirms the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating. Confirm the 'P' package code corresponds to the 28-pin Plastic DIP format. Ensure RoHS compliance by checking for the '+' designation in the ordering information. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet revision to confirm pinout consistency with legacy designs.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-channel configuration is required for analog signal switching. The wide supply voltage range supports both single and dual power rails. Verify that the 400Ω on-resistance meets the application's signal integrity requirements. Consider the 500ns transition time for timing-sensitive digital-to-analog conversion paths.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This part 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 provides 16 channels, whereas the MAX337 offers a dual 8-channel configuration. Both share identical control logic and electrical characteristics.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The MAX336CPI+ is a compatible alternative within the same series but operates in the commercial 0°C to +70°C temperature range. Designers requiring extended temperature performance must ensure the 'E' suffix is retained. Other pin-compatible options include the MAX336EWI+ for surface mount applications.
