MAX358CWE+

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX358CWE+ is a fault-protected analog multiplexer manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features a single 8:1 multiplexing circuit housed in a 16-SOIC surface-mount package. The device operates on dual supply voltages ranging from ±4.5V to ±18V, with a typical operating voltage of 15V. Key electrical specifications include a maximum on-resistance of 1.8 kOhms and switch times (Ton/Toff) of up to 300ns. It supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to +75°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CWE+' against the official Analog Devices part numbering guide to confirm package type, temperature grade, and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 16-SOIC wide variant. Confirm that the required fault protection levels align with system design specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-channel multiplexer with integrated fault protection is required. Compare on-resistance and switch speed requirements against alternatives like the MAX359 if lower resistance or different channel counts are needed. Verify that the ±4.5V to ±18V dual supply range matches the available power rails in the target application environment.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX358 belongs to the Maxim Integrated family of fault-protected analog multiplexers. It shares functional similarities with the MAX354 and MAX359 but differs in channel count and specific electrical characteristics. This series is designed for robust signal switching in harsh environments where input overvoltage conditions may occur.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The MAX358CWE+ is directly replaceable by other units within the MAX358 family, such as the MAX358CWET, provided the tape-and-reel packaging is acceptable. Cross-family replacements require careful evaluation of pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment.
