Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated 8100608EA

Overview

8100608EA from Maxim Integrated is a monolithic CMOS analog switch configured as a one-channel, 75 Ω, 4PST (four-pole single-throw) device with integrated drivers, rated for ±15 V dual supplies and operating from −55°C to +125°C. It delivers 75 Ω on-resistance, <400 ns turn-on time, <600 ns turn-off time, and supports high-isolation signal routing in military-grade test instrumentation and avionics multiplexing systems.

For engineers reviewing the 8100608EA datasheet, 8100608EA pinout, 8100608EA application, or 8100608EA equivalent, this part serves as a radiation-hardened, MIL-STD-883 compliant analog switch for precision signal path control under extreme temperature and reliability requirements - particularly where 4PST configuration, low charge injection (<30 mV), and >60 dB channel isolation are mandatory.

Technical Context

The 8100608EA implements four independent SPST switches in a single monolithic silicon die, each with matched R_DS(ON) ≤ 75 Ω at ±15 V supply and ±9.25 V signal swing. Its driver circuitry accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs (VIH ≥ 2.4 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and provides rail-to-rail analog switching capability across the full ±15 V range.

It features break-before-make timing (t_D = 5 ns), low off-leakage (±1 nA), and tightly controlled parasitic capacitances (C_IS/C_COS = 60 pF), enabling high-fidelity signal integrity in multiplexed data acquisition and phased-array RF front-end switching applications.

FAQ

What is the maximum signal voltage swing supported by the 8100608EA?

The 8100608EA supports a maximum analog signal swing of ±9.25 V when operated with ±15 V supplies, as confirmed by its R_DS(ON) specification limits in Table I. This rating ensures linear operation and guaranteed on-resistance across the full bipolar range, making it suitable for legacy military test equipment requiring true ±10 V signal handling capability.

Does the 8100608EA require external pull-up resistors on its control inputs?

No, the 8100608EA does not require external pull-up resistors. Its control inputs (pins 13–16) accept standard TTL/CMOS logic levels (VIH ≥ 2.4 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and draw only ±1 µA input current per pin, as specified in Table I. The internal driver circuitry is self-biased and compatible with direct connection to FPGA or microcontroller GPIOs.

Is the 8100608EA RoHS-compliant?

The 8100608EA uses SnPb (tin-lead) lead finish per MIL-PRF-38535 Appendix A and is therefore exempt from RoHS restrictions under EU Directive 2011/65/EU Annex III for military and aerospace applications. It is not lead-free; conversion to Pb-free would require redesign and requalification under MIL-STD-883.

Can the 8100608EA be used with ±12 V supplies instead of ±15 V?

Yes, the 8100608EA is characterized for operation at ±10 V and ±15 V supplies per Table I, and its absolute maximum ratings allow V+ − V− up to 33 V. At ±12 V, R_DS(ON) increases slightly (to ≤150 Ω per Table I), but all other parameters remain within spec - confirming robust operation across common bipolar supply rails used in industrial instrumentation.

What is the thermal resistance (θ_JA) of the 8100608EA in its GDIP1-T16 package?

The 8100608EA's thermal resistance junction-to-air (θ_JA) is not explicitly specified in the drawing, but its junction-to-case (θ_JC) is referenced to MIL-STD-1835. For Case Outline E (GDIP1-T16), typical θ_JA is ~100°C/W on FR-4 with 2 oz copper; derating is required above +100°C ambient per the 12 mW/°C rule in Section 1.3 for power dissipation above 350 mW.
