MAX4712CUE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4712CUE 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 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 +0.8V to +2.4V logic thresholds, ensuring TTL and CMOS compatibility. The component is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Feature Summary

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' indicates the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Confirm the 'UE' designation corresponds to the 16-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP). Ensure the source documentation explicitly lists this exact part number variant before procurement to avoid functional mismatches related to thermal ratings or physical footprint.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when fault protection is required for analog signals exceeding supply rails. Verify that the maximum on-resistance of 25Ω meets system loss requirements. Ensure the input logic thresholds align with the available control voltage levels. Consider the 16-pin TSSOP footprint constraints during PCB layout design.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX4711/MAX4712/MAX4713 family of fault-protected, low-voltage analog switches. The MAX4712 specifically contains four normally open switches, distinguishing it from the MAX4711 which features normally closed switches. All variants share identical pinouts and core electrical characteristics.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The datasheet notes pin compatibility with industry-standard MAX391, MAX392, and MAX393 switches. Direct replacement requires verifying that the target application does not rely on the specific fault-protection behavior unique to the MAX471x series.
