MAX398EPE+

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX398EPE+ is a precision, low-voltage CMOS analog multiplexer manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features an 8-channel or dual 4-channel configuration housed in a 16-pin QSOP surface-mount package. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 3 V to 15 V, or dual supplies up to ±8 V. Key electrical specifications include a maximum on-resistance of 375 Ohms, a maximum switch current of 20 mA, and a maximum power dissipation of 667 mW. It supports standard operating voltages including 5 V, 9 V, and 12 V.
