MAX399EGE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX399EGE is a precision analog switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features two independent SP4T (Single Pole, Four Throw) multiplexer circuits in a 16-lead SSOP package. The device operates with a single supply voltage ranging from 3V to 15V or dual supplies of ±3V to ±8V. Key electrical specifications include a maximum on-resistance of 100 Ohms and a channel-to-channel matching of 6 Ohms maximum. Switching times are characterized by a maximum turn-on time of 150ns and a maximum turn-off time of 150ns. The component supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix EGE against the manufacturer's current part numbering system to confirm package type and tape/reel status. Confirm RoHS compliance and lead-free status through official documentation. Check for any recent product change notices that may affect pinout or electrical characteristics before finalizing procurement.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when precise on-resistance matching is critical for signal integrity. The 100 Ohm Ron specification suits applications requiring lower voltage drop compared to higher resistance switches. Ensure the supply voltage requirements align with the 3V to 15V single supply range. Consider the 16-SSOP package dimensions for PCB layout constraints.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX399 belongs to the Maxim Integrated precision multiplexer family. It is functionally similar to the MAX398 but offers improved on-resistance matching. The EG suffix typically denotes the SSOP package variant. This series is designed for applications demanding high accuracy and low leakage currents in analog signal paths.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The MAX398EEE+ is a closely related device within the same family, offering similar functionality with potentially different on-resistance characteristics. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameter differences before substitution. Consult the manufacturer's datasheet for detailed comparison tables.
