MAX4516EPA+

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4516EPA+ is a single-pole/single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch housed in an 8-pin Plastic DIP package. It operates with dual supplies ranging from ±1V to ±6V and handles rail-to-rail analog signals. Key electrical parameters include a maximum on-resistance of 20Ω at ±5V, off-leakage current of 1nA at +25°C, and charge injection of 20pC max. Switching speeds are defined by a turn-on time of 100ns and turn-off time of 75ns. The device supports continuous currents up to ±20mA and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the component designation against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the specific suffix indicates lead-free compliance and RoHS status. Ensure the ordering information matches the required operating temperature range and package type for the intended application environment.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring dual-supply operation between ±1V and ±6V. Consider the MAX4514 or MAX4515 if single-supply compatibility is required instead. Verify that the logic input thresholds align with the system's control voltage levels relative to the positive supply rail.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX4516EPA+ belongs to the MAX4516/MAX4517 family of low-voltage, dual-supply analog switches manufactured by Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated. This series provides SPST switching capabilities with low on-resistance and fast switching speeds suitable for precision signal routing.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The MAX4517EPA+ serves as a pin-compatible alternative offering normally closed functionality. For single-supply requirements, the MAX4514EPA+ or MAX4515EPA+ are recommended replacements.
