MAX4617ESE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4617ESE+T is a high-speed, low-voltage CMOS analog multiplexer switch IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features an 8-channel to 1-channel (8:1) configuration housed in a 16-pin Narrow SO package. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from +2V to +5.5V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum on-resistance of 10Ω at a +5V supply and 20Ω at a +3V supply. Switching performance is characterized by a maximum turn-on time of 15ns and a maximum turn-off time of 10ns. The component supports an industrial operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the '+' symbol in the part number. Ensure the narrow SOIC footprint matches the target PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-supply operation between +2V and +5.5V is required. It is suitable for applications needing fast switching speeds and rail-to-rail analog signal handling. Verify that the logic thresholds align with the system's digital control voltages for proper TTL/CMOS compatibility.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX4617/MAX4618/MAX4619 family of high-speed, low-voltage CMOS analog switches. While the MAX4617 provides an 8:1 multiplexer function, the MAX4618 offers two 4:1 multiplexers, and the MAX4619 provides three SPDT switches. All share similar pinouts and operational principles within the same package options.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include the MAX4581, MAX4582, and MAX4583 series. Standard industry alternatives such as the 74HC4051, 74HC4052, and 74HC4053 are also compatible, though their electrical characteristics may differ from the Maxim Integrated specifications.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers FAQ

How does the MAX4617 handle overvoltage conditions?

Reverse ESD-protection diodes are internally connected between each analog-signal pin and both VCC and GND. If any analog signal exceeds VCC or GND, one of these diodes conducts.

What is the logic threshold behavior at different supply voltages?

Logic inputs have 0.8V to 2.4V thresholds ensuring TTL/CMOS compatibility at +5V. As VCC falls, the threshold decreases; for example, at +3V, the minimum logic-high threshold drops to 2.0V.

Can input and output pins be used interchangeably?

Yes, input and output pins are identical and interchangeable. Signals pass equally well in both directions, allowing any pin to be considered an input or output.
