MAX4558EPE+

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4558EPE+ is a low-voltage CMOS analog multiplexer configured as an 8-to-1 switch in a 16-pin Plastic DIP package. It operates from dual supplies of ±2V to ±6V or a single supply of +2V to +12V, supporting Rail-to-Rail analog signals. Key electrical parameters include a maximum on-resistance of 160Ω at ±5V and 220Ω at +5V, with channel-to-channel matching of 2Ω typical. The device features extremely low off-leakage current of 1nA at +25°C and high ESD protection up to ±15kV (HBM). Digital inputs are TTL/CMOS compatible, and the operating temperature range extends from -40°C to +85°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Feature Summary

• TTL/CMOS logic compatibility ensures reliable interfacing with standard digital control circuits across various supply voltages.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Applications

• Battery-operated equipment requiring low power consumption
• Audio and video signal routing systems
• Low-voltage data-acquisition systems
• Communications circuits in high-ESD environments

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EPE' confirms the 16-pin Plastic DIP package and industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm that the '+' suffix indicates compliance with RoHS directives as per Analog Devices standards. Ensure the source document explicitly lists this part number to avoid confusion with commercial variants like MAX4558CPE which have different temperature ratings.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select the MAX4558EPE+ when a through-hole 8:1 multiplexer is required for industrial applications. It is suitable for designs needing robust ESD protection and low leakage currents. Consider the 160Ω on-resistance at ±5V supplies for signal integrity requirements. Verify that the 16-pin DIP footprint matches the PCB layout constraints compared to surface-mount alternatives.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX4558 is part of the MAX4558/MAX4559/MAX4560 family of low-voltage CMOS analog switches manufactured by Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated. This family shares common architectural features such as ESD protection and pin-out compatibility, differing primarily in configuration (8:1 MUX, dual 4:1 MUX, or triple SPDT). The EPE variant specifically denotes the plastic DIP packaging option within this series.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other members of the MAX455x family such as MAX4559 or MAX4560 if the circuit topology allows for different switching configurations. Commercial grade versions like MAX4558CPE may be considered if the application does not require the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
