MAX364EPE+

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX364EPE+ is a precision, quad, single-pole single-throw (SPST) analog switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features four normally closed switches housed in a 16-pin Plastic DIP package. The device operates with a single positive supply ranging from +10V to +30V or split supplies from ±4.5V to ±20V. Key electrical parameters include an on-resistance of less than 85Ω, guaranteed channel matching within 2Ω, and low leakage current below 500pA at +25°C. Switching performance includes a maximum turn-on time of 250ns and a maximum turn-off time of 170ns. The component supports rail-to-rail analog signal handling and offers electrostatic discharge protection exceeding 2000V.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the package type and temperature range. The EPE suffix indicates a Plastic DIP package with an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Ensure the design accommodates the required supply voltages and logic levels. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure all electrical characteristics match the intended application requirements.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select the MAX364EPE+ when normally closed analog switching is required for precision applications. This part is suitable for designs needing CMOS-compatible control inputs and low leakage currents. Consider the bipolar or unipolar supply options based on the system architecture. Verify that the 85Ω on-resistance meets the signal integrity requirements. Evaluate the thermal dissipation capabilities if operating near the upper temperature limits.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX364EPE+ belongs to the MAX364/MAX365 family of precision analog switches. The MAX364 variant specifically provides four normally closed channels, whereas the MAX365 provides four normally open channels. Both share identical electrical characteristics and pinouts, differing only in the default state of the switches. This family utilizes an improved silicon-gate process to achieve low charge injection and high reliability.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same family include the MAX365EPE+, which offers normally open switches instead of normally closed ones. Other packages in the series such as MAX364ESE+ (Narrow SOIC) or MAX364ETE+ (Thin QFN) provide alternative form factors with identical electrical specifications. Ensure the replacement maintains the required temperature range and package dimensions for the PCB layout.
