MAX361CPE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX361CPE is a precision, quad, single-pole single-throw (SPST) analog switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features four normally closed switches with low channel on-resistance of less than 85Ω at +25°C and guaranteed matching within 3Ω between channels. The device operates with a single positive supply from +10V to +30V or split supplies from ±4.5V to ±20V. Key electrical parameters include turn-on time of less than 250ns, turn-off time of less than 170ns, off leakage current of less than 500pA at +25°C, and charge injection of 10pC. It is housed in a 16-PDIP package and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the component status as discontinued before procurement planning. Confirm that the Plastic DIP package matches the required footprint. Ensure the operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C meets system requirements. Check RoHS compliance status as it may not meet current environmental standards. Validate pinout compatibility if replacing existing designs.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select the MAX361CPE when normally closed SPST switching is required. Consider the 85Ω on-resistance limit for signal integrity. Verify supply voltage compatibility with single or dual rails. Evaluate thermal performance within the specified temperature range. Compare against MAX362 if normally open switching is needed instead.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX361CPE belongs to the MAX361/MAX362 family of precision analog switches. It utilizes Maxim's 44V silicon-gate process for improved reliability. The C suffix indicates the commercial temperature grade. The P suffix denotes the Plastic DIP package. This part is designed for applications requiring low power consumption and fast switching speeds.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The MAX362CPE is the complementary normally open variant within the same family. Other packages like MAX361CSE offer the same functionality in Narrow SO format. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical characteristics carefully when substituting.
