MAX4612EPD+

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4612EPD+ is a low-voltage, quad, single-pole/single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features two normally open and two normally closed switches within a 14-pin Plastic DIP package. The device operates from a single +2V to +12V supply with an on-resistance of 100Ω max at +5V and 46Ω max at +12V. On-resistance is matched between channels to 4Ω max and flat to 18Ω max over the signal range. Off-leakage current is 1nA at +25°C and 2nA at +85°C. Turn-on time is 65ns max and turn-off time is 28ns max at +5V. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity through official manufacturer channels or authorized distributors. Confirm the specific suffix 'EPD+' corresponds to the 14-pin Plastic DIP package and lead-free/RoHS compliance status as documented in the ordering information section of the datasheet. Ensure the operating temperature grade matches the required environmental conditions for the target application.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when a mix of normally open and normally closed analog switching is required in a single package. The MAX4612 differs from the MAX4610 (all NO) and MAX4611 (all NC). Verify that the single-supply voltage range of +2V to +12V aligns with the system power rails. Consider the 14-pin PDIP package constraints for PCB layout and thermal dissipation requirements.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX4612EPD+ belongs to the MAX4610/MAX4611/MAX4612 family of low-voltage CMOS analog switches. This family shares identical electrical specifications and pinouts but varies in switch configuration. The MAX4612 specifically provides two NO and two NC switches, offering design flexibility for differential signaling or mixed logic states without requiring multiple components.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Pin-compatible replacements include the MAX4066 and industry-standard 74HC4066. Verify that substitute devices meet the specific on-resistance flatness and leakage current requirements if operating near the absolute maximum ratings.
