MAX359CWE+T

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX359CWE+T is a dual-channel analog multiplexer switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It integrates two independent SP4T (Single-Pole Four-Throw) switches within a single 16-pin SOIC package. The device operates on dual supplies ranging from ±4.5V to ±18V. Key electrical specifications include a maximum on-resistance of 1.8 kΩ, an off-state leakage current of 10 µA, and typical switching times of 300 ns for both turn-on and turn-off. It supports surface-mount installation and functions within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 75°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm the manufacturer designation as Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. Ensure the component meets RoHS3 compliance requirements. Check for availability through authorized distributors as stock levels vary. Validate the 16-SOIC package dimensions against PCB footprint constraints.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when dual independent 4-to-1 multiplexing is required. Compare on-resistance and leakage current against system signal integrity needs. Verify that the ±4.5V to ±18V supply range matches the available power rails. Consider the 16-SOIC package size for board space limitations. Evaluate thermal dissipation capabilities within the specified operating temperature range.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX359 belongs to the Maxim Integrated analog switch family, designed for general-purpose signal routing. It serves as a commercial-grade alternative to military-spec variants like the MAX359MJE/883B. The device complements other multiplexers such as the MAX354 and MAX358, offering a balance of channel count and isolation performance for standard industrial applications.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the MAX359CWE without the reel suffix. Cross-reference with MAX358CWE for similar fault-protected multiplexing features. Verify pin compatibility before replacing with MAX355EWE or MAX4602CWE variants.
