MAX399EPE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX399EPE is a dual 4-channel precision analog multiplexer housed in a 16-pin Plastic DIP package. It operates on a single +3V to +15V supply or bipolar ±3V to ±8V supplies, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device features a maximum channel on-resistance of 225 Ω and a maximum on-resistance matching between channels of 13 Ω. Key electrical specifications include a maximum transition time of 575 ns, a maximum enable turn-on time of 500 ns, and a maximum enable turn-off time of 400 ns. Supply current is typically 1 µA.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EPE' corresponds to the required -40°C to +85°C temperature grade and 16-pin Plastic DIP package configuration. Confirm that the ordering information matches the exact pinout and lead finish requirements for your PCB footprint. Ensure compatibility with existing system voltage rails before finalizing procurement.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when dual independent 4-channel switching is required within a standard DIP footprint. The MAX399EPE offers superior on-resistance matching compared to legacy equivalents, ensuring balanced signal paths. Consider the 225 Ω maximum on-resistance at lower supply voltages when designing for minimal signal attenuation in high-impedance circuits.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX399EPE belongs to the MAX398/MAX399 family of precision CMOS analog multiplexers manufactured by Analog Devices (Maxim Integrated). This series is designed for applications requiring low distortion and fast switching speeds. The EPE variant specifically denotes the industrial temperature range and plastic DIP packaging, distinguishing it from commercial or ceramic variants.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The MAX399EPE is explicitly stated to be pin-compatible with the DG409, DG509A, and their 8-channel counterparts DG408 and DG508A. Verify that substitute parts meet the same on-resistance flatness and leakage current specifications for critical analog performance.
