Product details
Overview
MAX4051ACSE from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer with rail-to-rail signal handling, ±2.7V to ±8V dual-supply or +2.7V to +16V single-supply operation, 100Ω max on-resistance at ±5V, 0.1nA max off-leakage at +25°C, and TTL/CMOS logic compatibility - used in battery-powered data-acquisition systems for channel selection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4051ACSE datasheet, MAX4051ACSE pinout, MAX4051ACSE application, or MAX4051ACSE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance match (≤6Ω), low charge injection (≤10pC), high off-isolation (<–90dB), and narrow SO package compatibility with legacy 74HC4051 layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4051ACSE implements a single 8:1 analog multiplexer using transmission-gate CMOS architecture with independent V+ and V- supply rails to define analog signal swing limits. Its digital control uses ADDA/ADDB/ADDC address inputs and INH enable, with logic thresholds fixed at 0.8V (low) and 2.4V (high) for robust TTL/CMOS interfacing across supply voltages.
Internal ESD protection diodes clamp NO/COM pins to V+ and V-, defining absolute maximum analog input range as (V− − 2V) to (V+ + 2V). Leakage current originates from reverse-biased diode mismatch, resulting in temperature-dependent off-leakage (0.1nA @ +25°C, 5nA @ +85°C) and negligible on-leakage (≤0.1nA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (RON) | 100Ω max at ±5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor routing. |
| On-resistance match (ΔRON) | 6Ω max - enables accurate ratiometric measurements across channels without calibration. |
| Off-leakage current | 0.1nA max at +25°C - preserves high-impedance node integrity in low-power sampling circuits. |
| Off-isolation | <–90dB at 100kHz - suppresses crosstalk between active and inactive channels in multi-signal systems. |
| Supply range | ±2.7V to ±8V dual or +2.7V to +16V single - supports direct integration into mixed-voltage industrial and portable designs. |
| Logic compatibility | 0.8V to 2.4V thresholds - guarantees reliable switching with 3.3V/5V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| Charge injection | 10pC max - minimizes voltage glitch on sampled-hold capacitors in ADC front-ends. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4051ACSE is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package, 3.9mm width, with standard 0.050" pitch and gull-wing leads - compatible with automated SMT assembly and IPC-7351B footprint MSOIC-N16.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15 | NO0–NO7 | Eight normally open analog switch terminals - bidirectional, interchangeable with COM; support rail-to-rail signal routing. |
| 3 | COM | Common analog terminal - connects to selected NOx channel; no ground reference; voltage bounded by V+ and V−. |
| 6 | INH | Digital inhibit input - logic high disables all switches; tied low for normal operation. |
| 7 | V− | Negative analog supply - connected to GND for single-supply use; sets lower analog signal limit. |
| 8 | GND | Digital ground reference - isolated from analog path; required for logic interface stability. |
| 9, 10, 11 | ADDA, ADDB, ADDC | 3-bit binary address inputs - select one of eight NOx channels (000–111); TTL/CMOS compatible. |
| 16 | V+ | Positive analog/digital supply - defines upper analog signal limit and powers internal logic translators. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PIN-compatible with 74HC4051 | Direct drop-in replacement in existing PCB layouts - eliminates redesign risk and qualification effort. |
| Guaranteed RON flatness | 10Ω max over full analog range - maintains consistent gain and linearity across signal amplitude variations. |
| Low distortion | <0.04% THD at 600Ω load - preserves signal fidelity in audio and precision instrumentation paths. |
| Break-before-make timing | 30ns min (single +5V) - prevents momentary shorting during channel transitions in critical signal routing. |
| Single-supply operation down to +2.7V | Enables use in Li-ion powered devices without auxiliary voltage rails or regulators. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4051CSE | Higher on-resistance (125Ω vs. 100Ω), looser RON match (12Ω vs. 6Ω), higher off-leakage (1nA vs. 0.1nA at +25°C) | Suitable for non-critical general-purpose routing where leakage and matching are less constrained | Select MAX4051CSE only when cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirements and thermal drift is acceptable. |
| ADG1408BRUZ | Lower on-resistance (4.7Ω), wider supply range (±5V to ±22V), but higher charge injection (25pC) and no A-grade leakage characterization | Better for high-speed, high-voltage industrial PLC I/O modules requiring ultra-low RON | Choose ADG1408BRUZ when driving low-impedance loads or operating beyond ±8V; avoid in low-leakage precision sampling. |
Compared with MAX4051CSE and ADG1408BRUZ, the MAX4051ACSE delivers optimal balance of leakage performance, matching accuracy, and supply flexibility for battery-constrained, multi-sensor systems - making it preferred for portable instrumentation and calibrated sensor hubs where long-term stability matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable analog signal range for MAX4051ACSE when operated with ±5V supplies?
The MAX4051ACSE supports rail-to-rail analog signals, meaning the full range extends from V− to V+, or −5V to +5V. Internal ESD diodes clamp inputs to (V− − 2V) and (V+ + 2V), so absolute maximum analog input is −7V to +7V - but sustained operation outside −5V to +5V risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings and must be avoided. The MAX4051ACSE datasheet specifies guaranteed performance only within the supply rails.
Does MAX4051ACSE support single-supply operation below +3V?
The MAX4051ACSE is characterized down to +2.7V per the datasheet, and functional operation has been observed near +1.7V at room temperature. However, below +2.7V, on-resistance rises sharply (e.g., ~700Ω at +3V), switching times increase significantly (tON up to 700ns), and leakage specifications are no longer guaranteed. For reliable, specified performance, MAX4051ACSE should be operated at ≥+2.7V in single-supply mode.
How does the INH pin function in MAX4051ACSE, and what is its logic polarity?
The INH (Inhibit) pin on the MAX4051ACSE is an active-high digital control that disables all eight switch channels when driven to logic high (≥2.4V). When INH is low (≤0.8V), normal address decoding via ADDA/ADDB/ADDC proceeds. The pin draws ≤1µA and is TTL/CMOS compatible. Pulling INH high provides fail-safe channel isolation - a key feature for safety-critical or power-gated subsystems using the MAX4051ACSE.
Is MAX4051ACSE pin-compatible with the industry-standard 74HC4051 in the same narrow SO package?
Yes, the MAX4051ACSE is fully pin-compatible with the 74HC4051 in the 16-pin narrow SO package: pin assignments for V+, GND, INH, ADDA–ADDC, COM, and NO0–NO7 match exactly. This allows direct substitution without PCB modification. However, note that MAX4051ACSE offers superior specs - including lower leakage (0.1nA vs. typical 100nA), tighter RON match (6Ω vs. unspecified), and guaranteed dual-supply operation - making it a performance upgrade, not just a footprint match.
What is the thermal performance limit for continuous operation of MAX4051ACSE?
The MAX4051ACSE is rated for continuous operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature, as indicated by the "C" grade suffix in the part number. Its narrow SO package has a thermal resistance θJA of 8.70°C/W, supporting up to 696mW continuous power dissipation at +70°C (derating linearly above that point). Exceeding +70°C ambient requires derating or heatsinking; operation beyond the specified range voids parametric guarantees and may accelerate parametric drift or failure.
