MAX355EPE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX355EPE is a dual 4-channel fault-protected analog multiplexer manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates from a single 4.5V to 36V supply or ±4.5V to ±18V dual supplies. The device features a maximum on-resistance of 350 Ω and input leakage current less than 0.5nA at +25°C. Digital inputs utilize 0.8V and 2.4V logic thresholds for TTL and CMOS compatibility. It provides break-before-make switching with power consumption under 1.5mW. The component is housed in a 16-pin Plastic DIP package and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Feature Summary

• Fault protection circuitry safeguards against overvoltage up to 40V beyond supply rails during power-up, power-down, and fault conditions.
• Guaranteed break-before-make operation prevents simultaneous connection of multiple input channels to the output.
• All switches turn off automatically when power supplies are removed, ensuring signal isolation without sequencing requirements.
• TTL and CMOS logic compatibility is achieved through defined voltage thresholds without requiring external pull-up resistors.

• Data-Acquisition Systems
• Industrial and Process Control
• Avionics
• ATE Equipment
• Signal Routing

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'EPE' corresponds to the extended 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 standards as indicated in the official documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when dual 4-channel multiplexing with high-voltage fault protection is required. It serves as a pin-compatible alternative to ADG508F/ADG509F and an improved second source for MAX358/MAX359. Consider its 350 Ω on-resistance and low leakage characteristics for precision signal routing applications where supply voltages may fluctuate or exceed normal operating ranges.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX355EPE belongs to the MAX354/MAX355 family of fault-protected analog multiplexers. This series utilizes a series N-channel, P-channel, N-channel structure to protect sensitive circuit components. The MAX355 specifically offers two independent 4:1 multiplexer channels within a single integrated circuit, distinguishing it from the single 8-channel MAX354 variant while sharing identical electrical protection mechanisms.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitutes include the ADG508F and ADG509F due to pin compatibility. The MAX358 and MAX359 are also documented as compatible devices within the same product family lineage.
