MAX4359EAX+

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Overview

The MAX4359EAX+ is a low-cost video crosspoint switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features a 4x4 T-switch matrix connecting four video inputs to four buffered outputs. The device operates on dual supplies ranging from ±4.5V to ±5.5V and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical specifications include a small-signal bandwidth of 65MHz, a buffer output slew rate of 250V/µs, and single-channel crosstalk of 70dB at 5MHz. It utilizes a serial or parallel digital interface for channel routing.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Feature Summary

• Contains a 4x4 matrix of T-switches connecting any input to any buffered output
• Features internal high-speed unity-gain amplifiers with three-state output capability
• Supports both serial and parallel digital control interfaces
• Includes power-saving disable feature and expandable architecture for larger arrays

• High-Speed Signal Routing
• Video-On-Demand Systems
• Video Test Equipment
• Video Conferencing
• Security Systems

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix EAX against the manufacturer's current part numbering system to ensure correct package type (SSOP) and temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in the official documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4x4 video switching matrix is required within the specified temperature range. Ensure the design accommodates dual supply voltages between ±4.5V and ±5.5V. Verify that the 65MHz bandwidth and 250V/µs slew rate meet the signal integrity requirements of the target video application.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX4359/MAX4360/MAX4456 family of low-cost video crosspoint switches. While the MAX4456 offers an 8x8 matrix and the MAX4360 provides an 8x4 configuration, the MAX4359 specifically delivers a 4x4 topology. All variants share similar buffer architectures and control logic capabilities.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Replacement Considerations

The MAX4360 and MAX4456 are pin-compatible alternatives offering expanded matrix sizes (8x4 and 8x8 respectively). For applications requiring better DC specifications, the MAX456 is referenced as an alternative.
