Overview

The MAX4618CPE+ is a dual 4-channel analog multiplexer/demultiplexer designed for low-voltage systems operating from a 2V to 5.5V supply. It features fast switching speeds and low on-resistance matching between channels, making it a reliable drop-in replacement for industry-standard 74HC4052 and MAX4582 devices. With a maximum supply current of only 1 microamp, it is optimized for power-sensitive signal routing applications.

Why Choose This Part

This IC offers guaranteed on-resistance matching and low leakage currents, which minimizes signal errors across multi-channel paths. Its TTL/CMOS-logic compatibility allows it to interface directly with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers without level shifting.

Applications

Audio and Video Signal Routing
Switching between multiple analog sources with low distortion and high off-isolation.
Data Acquisition Systems
Multiplexing multiple sensor inputs into a single ADC channel in low-voltage instrumentation.
Low-Voltage Communication Switching
Routing TTL/CMOS logic signals or low-level serial data in portable electronics.
Battery-Powered Instrumentation
Utilizing the 1 microamp standby current to maximize battery life in hand-held measurement tools.

Getting Started

To evaluate this part, connect VCC to a regulated 2V to 5.5V source and ground the GND pin. Ensure the analog input voltages do not exceed the supply rails as per the -0.3V to VCC + 0.3V limit. Use standard 0.1 microfarad decoupling capacitors near the supply pins to minimize switching noise.
