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. The device features ±15kV ESD protection on signal pins and TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs. Key electrical parameters include a maximum on-resistance of 220Ω at +5V single supply (160Ω at ±5V), channel-to-channel matching of 2Ω typical, and off-leakage current of 1nA at +25°C. Switching times are 150ns turn-on and 120ns turn-off at ±5V.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Feature Summary

• Integrated electrostatic discharge protection on all analog input and output pins using on-chip silicon-controlled rectifiers.
• TTL and CMOS logic compatibility for digital address and enable inputs across standard supply voltages.
• Pin-compatible with industry-standard 74HC4051 multiplexers for direct board layout substitution.

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 operating in high-ESD environments

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EPE' confirms the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range and 16-PDIP through-hole package. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer's ordering guide, as the '+' indicator denotes lead-free packaging. Ensure the source document matches the Analog Devices datasheet revision 1 for accurate electrical limits.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-channel multiplexer with robust ESD protection is required in a through-hole format. Verify that the system voltage falls within the ±2V to ±6V dual or +2V to +12V single supply range. Consider the 220Ω maximum on-resistance at +5V if signal integrity under load is critical compared to lower resistance alternatives.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX4558EPE belongs to the MAX4558/MAX4559/MAX4560 family of low-voltage CMOS analog switches. While the MAX4558 provides an 8-to-1 configuration, the family includes the dual 4-to-1 MAX4559 and triple SPDT MAX4560. All variants share identical pinouts and ESD protection characteristics, differing only in internal switch topology.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The MAX4558CSE+T and MAX4558ESE+T offer similar functionality but differ in temperature range and packaging. The MAX4558CEE+ is available in a QSOP package. Direct pin-compatible replacements include the 74HC4051 series, though ESD protection levels and on-resistance specifications may vary significantly.
