MAX4052C/D

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4052C/D is a low-voltage, CMOS analog multiplexer IC configured as two independent 4-channel multiplexers. It operates with dual power supplies ranging from ±2.7V to ±8V or a single supply between +2.7V and +16V. The device handles rail-to-rail analog signals and features TTL/CMOS-logic compatible digital inputs with thresholds of 0.8V to 2.4V. Electrical characteristics include an on-resistance of up to 225Ω at ±5V supplies and off-leakage currents of 1nA at +25°C. Switching performance specifies a maximum turn-on time of 275ns and turn-off time of 200ns under single-supply conditions.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (C or D) against the required operating temperature range before ordering. The C suffix indicates a commercial range of 0°C to +70°C, while the D suffix denotes an extended industrial range of -40°C to +85°C. Confirm package availability matches the design requirements, as options include narrow SOIC, plastic DIP, and QSOP formats. Ensure logic voltage levels align with the specified input thresholds for reliable switching.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select the MAX4052C/D when pin compatibility with standard 74HC series logic is required in low-voltage environments. This component is suitable for applications needing dual 4:1 multiplexing without the complexity of A-suffix precision matching. Evaluate the on-resistance variation across the signal range if linearity is critical. Consider the extended temperature range of the D suffix for harsher operational environments compared to the standard C variant.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX4051/MAX4052/MAX4053 family of low-voltage CMOS analog switches manufactured by Maxim Integrated. While the MAX4051 provides an 8-channel configuration and the MAX4053 offers three SPDT switches, the MAX4052 specifically delivers two 4-channel multiplexers. The 'A' suffix variants in this family offer tighter specifications for on-resistance match and leakage, whereas the standard parts focus on general-purpose multiplexing capabilities.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The MAX4052C/D is functionally pin-compatible with the 74HC4052. Designers replacing legacy 74HC4052 components can utilize this part for improved low-voltage performance. Verify that the replacement supports the required supply voltage range and signal amplitude constraints of the original circuit design.
