MAX354EPE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX354EPE is a fault-protected analog multiplexer featuring an N-channel, P-channel, N-channel series structure. It supports single supplies from 4.5V to 36V or dual supplies from ±4.5V to ±18V. The device provides 350Ω maximum on-resistance and input leakage current of less than 0.5nA at +25°C. Digital inputs utilize 0.8V and 2.4V logic thresholds for TTL and CMOS compatibility. Break-before-make operation is guaranteed with power consumption under 1.5mW. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in a 16-pin Plastic DIP package.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Feature Summary

• Series FET protection scheme safeguards against overvoltage up to 40V beyond supply rails during power-up, power-down, and fault conditions.
• All switches turn off when power supplies are removed, ensuring safe state isolation.
• Output clamps at approximately 1.5V below the supply rails to protect sensitive downstream circuit components.
• Guaranteed break-before-make switching action prevents simultaneous connection of multiple input channels.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'EPE' corresponds to the required industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and the 16-pin Plastic DIP package configuration. Confirm that the manufacturer designation matches Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to the assembly process. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate electrical characteristics against current production standards.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust fault protection against high-voltage transients exceeding standard supply limits. The wide operating voltage range accommodates both single and dual supply architectures. Verify that the 350Ω on-resistance and low leakage currents meet signal integrity requirements. Ensure the digital interface aligns with available TTL or CMOS logic levels without requiring external pull-up resistors.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX354EPE belongs to the MAX354/MAX355 family of fault-protected analog multiplexers manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This series is designed for high-reliability environments where signal routing must withstand extreme electrical stress. The E suffix denotes the extended temperature grade, while PE indicates the plastic DIP packaging option.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The MAX354EPE is pin-compatible with the ADG508F/ADG509F. Designers may consider these alternatives if specific performance parameters differ from the original design constraints. Verify functional equivalence regarding fault protection mechanisms and logic thresholds before substitution.
