MAX4693EGE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4693EGE+ is a low-voltage CMOS analog switch IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features a triple configuration comprising one 8:1 multiplexer, two dual 4:1 multiplexers, or three 2:1 multiplexers depending on the specific variant suffix (e.g., MAX4691, MAX4692, MAX4693). The device operates from a single supply voltage ranging from 1.8V to 5.5V. Key electrical parameters include an on-resistance of 70 Ohms maximum and a propagation delay of 250ns. It is housed in a 16-pin QFN package with dimensions of 4mm x 4mm.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix (e.g., +T for tape/reel) against the datasheet to ensure correct packaging and availability. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the '+' suffix. Check current distribution channels for limited stock situations, as some variants may be subject to restricted supply or end-of-life notices.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution for multiple analog signal paths is required within a small footprint. Ensure the 70 Ohm on-resistance meets the application's signal integrity requirements. Verify that the 250ns switching speed is sufficient for the target data rate. Consider thermal dissipation capabilities within the QFN-16 package for the specific operating environment.
