MAX381EPE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX381EPE is a CMOS analog switch IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features four single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switches housed in a 16-pin PDIP package. The device operates with a single supply voltage ranging from 3V to 15V or dual supplies of ±3V to ±8V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum on-resistance of 30 ohms, an on-resistance matching of 200 milliohms, and a charge injection of 2 picocoulombs. Switching times are specified at a maximum of 130ns for turn-on and 75ns for turn-off. The component supports a leakage current of up to 100pA and offers crosstalk rejection of -90dB at 1MHz.
