MAX4712CPE+

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4712CPE+ is a quad, single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch featuring fault protection and rail-to-rail signal handling. It operates from a single +2.7V to +11V supply or dual ±2.7V to ±5.5V supplies. The device provides low on-resistance with a maximum of 25Ω at +25°C and guaranteed flatness over the specified signal range. Switching times are less than 125ns for turn-on and less than 80ns for turn-off. Digital inputs have logic thresholds ensuring TTL and CMOS compatibility. The package is a 16-pin Plastic DIP.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm temperature range and packaging details. Ensure the component meets RoHS requirements if applicable to the design. Confirm availability status through authorized distributors as supply conditions may vary.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring fault protection on analog inputs while maintaining low on-resistance. Verify that the required signal range falls within the specified supply voltages. Consider the PDIP-16 package constraints for board layout and thermal dissipation requirements.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX4711/MAX4712/MAX4713 family of fault-protected, low-voltage analog switches. The MAX4712 variant specifically contains four normally open switches, distinguishing it from the MAX4711 (normally closed) and MAX4713 (mixed configuration).

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The datasheet indicates pin compatibility with the MAX391, MAX392, and MAX393 series. Verify that existing designs only utilize the NO_ and NC_ pins for fault protection, as COM_ pins lack this feature.
