MAX4616EGE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4616EGE is a low-voltage, high-speed, quad single-pole/single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features four independent switches within a single package, with two configured as normally open and two as normally closed. The device operates from a single +2V to +5.5V supply voltage. Key electrical parameters include a maximum on-resistance of 10 Ohms, which is matched between switches to 1 Ohm max and remains flat over the specified signal range. Maximum off-leakage current is 1nA at +25°C and 6nA at +85°C. Switching times are characterized by a maximum turn-on time of 12ns and a maximum turn-off time of 10ns. The component supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and is housed in a 16-lead TSSOP-EP package.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Feature Summary

• Integrates four SPST analog switches with mixed normally open and normally closed configurations for flexible signal routing.
• Provides low on-resistance with tight matching and flatness characteristics across the full signal swing range.
• Operates efficiently from a single low-voltage supply, minimizing power consumption in portable applications.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Applications

• Battery-powered systems requiring efficient signal switching under low voltage conditions.
• Data acquisition systems needing precise analog signal path selection.
• Communication equipment utilizing high-speed signal routing for data transmission.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EGE' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the exact package type and tape-and-reel status, as standard listings often default to tube packaging. Ensure the selected variant meets the required thermal and electrical specifications for the target environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad SPST configuration with mixed NO/NC states is required in a compact surface-mount footprint. Compare on-resistance flatness and leakage current requirements against alternative series members like the MAX4614 or MAX4615 if uniform switch polarity is preferred. Confirm that the 10-ohm on-resistance aligns with the application's signal integrity needs.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX4616 belongs to the MAX4614/MAX4615/MAX4616 family of low-voltage CMOS analog switches. These devices are pin-compatible with industry-standard 74HC4066 equivalents but offer superior performance metrics including faster switching speeds and lower leakage currents. The family provides versatile options for managing multiple analog signals in space-constrained designs.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same family include the MAX4614EGE (four normally open switches) and the MAX4615EGE (four normally closed switches). For applications requiring identical pinout and mixed NO/NC functionality, verify availability of the MAX4616EGE+ variant, ensuring compliance with RoHS directives if required.
