Product details
Overview
MAX4052AEPE from Maxim Integrated is a dual 4-channel CMOS analog multiplexer configured for bidirectional rail-to-rail signal routing in low-voltage systems. It features guaranteed 100Ω on-resistance at ±5V, 6Ω channel-to-channel on-resistance match, 0.1nA off-leakage at +25°C, and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds - enabling precise signal selection in battery-powered data-acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4052AEPE datasheet, MAX4052AEPE pinout, MAX4052AEPE application, or MAX4052AEPE equivalent, key selection criteria include dual 4:1 switching architecture, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating, 16-pin PDIP package, low charge injection (≤10pC), and compatibility with single-supply (+3V to +16V) or dual-supply (±2.7V to ±8V) operation.
Technical Context
The MAX4052AEPE implements two independent 4:1 analog multiplexers using matched CMOS transmission gates, each controlled by three address bits (ADDA, ADDB, INH) and sharing V+, V-, and GND supply rails. Its internal logic-level translators ensure robust switching across supply voltages without external level-shifting.
It guarantees monotonic on-resistance flatness (≤10Ω over ±3V signal range) and maintains <−90dB off-isolation and crosstalk at 100kHz in 50Ω systems - critical for high-fidelity audio routing and multi-channel sensor multiplexing where channel integrity must be preserved.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Configuration | Dual 4-channel analog multiplexer (2 × 4:1) |
| On-resistance (RON) | 100Ω max at ±5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision measurement paths |
| On-resistance match (∆RON) | 6Ω max (A-suffix) - enables accurate ratiometric measurements across channels |
| Off-leakage current | 0.1nA at +25°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| Supply range | Single: +2.7V to +16V; Dual: ±2.7V to ±8V - supports wide input voltage flexibility in portable and industrial designs |
| Logic compatibility | 0.8V–2.4V thresholds - interoperable with TTL and CMOS logic without level shifters |
| Off-isolation / Crosstalk | <−90dB at 100kHz (50Ω) - prevents signal coupling between active and inactive channels |
Pinout & Package
MAX4052AEPE is supplied in a 16-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package with 0.3-inch width, lead finish Sn/Pb, and operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive analog/digital supply | Drives internal CMOS switches and logic; sets upper analog signal limit |
| V- | Negative analog supply | Drives internal switches; sets lower analog signal limit; tied to GND for single-supply use |
| GND | Digital ground reference | Reference for logic inputs only; no analog ground connection |
| INH | Digital inhibit control | Active-high global disable; forces all switches open when high |
| ADDA, ADDB | Channel select address lines | Binary-encoded selection of one of four NOx inputs per multiplexer section |
| COMA, COMB | Common analog terminals | Bidirectional signal ports - serve as input or output depending on routing configuration |
| NO0A–NO3A, NO0B–NO3B | Normally-open analog inputs | Eight total analog switch terminals; interchangeable with NC pins per datasheet note |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PIN-compatible with 74HC4052 | Drop-in replacement for legacy logic-controlled analog muxes without PCB redesign |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4052EPE | Non-A version: 12Ω RON match, 1nA off-leakage at +25°C, same pinout and package | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-precision applications where channel matching is less critical | Select MAX4052EPE only if 12Ω RON mismatch and higher leakage are acceptable in your signal chain |
| ADG408BRZ | 8-channel single-ended mux; 100Ω RON; 10nA off-leakage; SOIC-16 package; no INH pin | Requires software-level enable management instead of hardware INH; higher leakage limits high-Z sensor use | Choose ADG408BRZ only if single 8:1 topology suffices and leakage tolerance >10× that of MAX4052AEPE |
Compared with MAX4052EPE and ADG408BRZ, the MAX4052AEPE delivers superior channel matching and ultra-low leakage essential for precision ratiometric and high-impedance applications - justifying its A-suffix characterization in industrial and medical instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal range supported by the MAX4052AEPE?
The MAX4052AEPE supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+. With ±5V supplies, this means −5V to +5V; with a single +5V supply (V− = GND), it supports 0V to +5V. The device maintains specified on-resistance and leakage performance across this full range, making it suitable for bipolar and unipolar sensor interfaces without external biasing.
Does the MAX4052AEPE require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its address pins?
No, the MAX4052AEPE does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on ADDA, ADDB, or INH pins. Its digital inputs have guaranteed TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (0.8V low, 2.4V high at +5V supply), and internal input structures provide sufficient noise immunity. However, floating address lines must be avoided - tie unused inputs to V+ or GND to ensure deterministic channel selection and prevent unintended switching.
Can the MAX4052AEPE operate reliably from a +3.3V single supply?
Yes, the MAX4052AEPE operates reliably from a +3.3V single supply (V+ = +3.3V, V− = GND). At this voltage, typical on-resistance rises to ~280Ω (max 700Ω), and switching times increase moderately, but all key parameters - including 0.1nA off-leakage and logic compatibility - remain fully specified and guaranteed per the datasheet's +3V supply characterization.
How does the INH pin function in the MAX4052AEPE?
The INH (inhibit) pin is an active-high digital control that globally disables both 4:1 multiplexers. When INH = logic high, all internal switches open regardless of ADDA/ADDB states - ensuring complete signal isolation. When INH = logic low, normal address-controlled switching resumes. This feature enables fast system-level signal gating without reprogramming address lines.
Is the MAX4052AEPE pinout compatible with the industry-standard 74HC4052?
Yes, the MAX4052AEPE is pin-compatible with the 74HC4052 in the 16-pin PDIP package. Pin assignments for V+, V−, GND, INH, ADDA, ADDB, COMA, COMB, and all NOx terminals match exactly. This allows drop-in replacement where enhanced performance - such as lower leakage, tighter RON matching, and wider supply range - is required without layout changes.
