MAX362EPE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX362EPE is a precision, quad, single-pole single-throw (SPST) analog switch featuring four normally open switches. It operates with a single positive supply (+10V to +30V) or split supplies (±4.5V to ±20V). The device offers low channel on-resistance of less than 85Ω at +25°C and guaranteed matching within 3Ω between channels. Leakage current is less than 500pA at +25°C and less than 4nA at +85°C. Switching times include a turn-on time of less than 250ns and a turn-off time of less than 170ns. Charge injection is extremely low at 10pC, and power consumption is 35µW. The part supports rail-to-rail analog signal handling with a maximum breakdown voltage of 44V.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix EPE corresponds to the -40°C to +85°C temperature range and 16-pin Plastic DIP package configuration. Confirm that the component source provides original manufacturer documentation to ensure authenticity. Check for lead-free compliance status if required by assembly specifications. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to electrostatic discharge sensitivity exceeding 2000V.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select the MAX362EPE when normally open switch logic is required for signal routing applications. This part is suitable for designs needing low on-resistance flatness over the analog signal range. Consider this component for systems requiring fast switching speeds and minimal charge injection. Verify that the bipolar or unipolar supply voltages align with the system's power architecture constraints.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX362EPE belongs to the MAX361/MAX362 family of precision analog switches manufactured by Maxim Integrated. While the MAX361 features normally closed switches, the MAX362 variant provides normally open functionality. Both share identical electrical characteristics and fabrication processes. The EPE suffix specifically denotes the extended industrial temperature range and plastic DIP packaging format.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The MAX361EPE serves as a functional alternative if normally closed switch logic is acceptable instead of normally open. Other package variants such as MAX362ESE or MAX362EJE offer the same electrical performance in Narrow SO or CERDIP formats respectively.
