MAX359EPE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX359EPE is a dual SP4T analog switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, housed in a 16-pin PDIP package. It operates on dual supplies ranging from ±4.5V to ±18V and supports single-supply operation up to 15V. The device features two independent 4:1 multiplexer circuits with a maximum on-resistance of 1.8kΩ. Switching times are specified at 300ns for both turn-on and turn-off. Leakage current is limited to 10µA maximum, and the unit functions within a temperature range of 0°C to 75°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics match the required design specifications. Ensure the procurement source provides valid RoHS compliance certificates if environmental regulations apply to the target assembly. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number directly with the distributor listing to avoid counterfeit components.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when dual high-voltage analog switching is required with moderate speed requirements. The 1.8kΩ on-resistance may limit performance in low-impedance signal paths compared to lower resistance alternatives. Verify that the ±18V supply capability aligns with the system power budget and that the PDIP package fits the available board space constraints.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX359 family of analog switches, which includes variants such as the MAX359CWE+ and MAX359EWE+. These devices share similar internal circuitry but differ in package type and operating temperature ranges. The EPE variant specifically denotes the extended industrial temperature range and through-hole DIP packaging suitable for prototyping or high-reliability applications.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MAX359 variants like MAX359CPE+ or MAX359EWE+, provided the package style difference is acceptable. For pin-compatible replacements, verify the on-resistance and leakage current specifications of alternative SP4T switches from the same manufacturer to ensure functional equivalence.
