Product details
Overview
MAX4052C/D from Maxim Integrated is a dual 4-channel CMOS analog multiplexer configured for bidirectional signal routing in low-voltage systems. It supports single-supply operation from +2.7V to +16V or dual supplies from ±2.7V to ±8V, delivers rail-to-rail analog switching, and features guaranteed 100Ω on-resistance (±5V), 6Ω channel-to-channel on-resistance match (A-suffix variant), and 0.1nA off-leakage at +25°C - enabling precision data acquisition and battery-powered audio routing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4052C/D datasheet, MAX4052C/D pinout, MAX4052C/D application, or MAX4052C/D equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual 4:1 configuration, TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds (0.8V–2.4V), low crosstalk (< –90dB), high off-isolation (< –90dB), and compatibility with ±5V or +5V single-supply systems in portable instrumentation and communications interfaces.
Technical Context
The MAX4052C/D implements two independent 4:1 analog multiplexers sharing common address lines (ADDA, ADDB) and an inhibit input (INH), with each section routing one of four NOx inputs to its COM terminal. Its CMOS switch architecture uses V+ and V− to define analog signal swing limits and drive internal gate control, while GND serves only digital logic reference - no analog ground path exists.
Logic-level translation ensures TTL/CMOS compatibility across supply voltages: thresholds scale with V+ (e.g., VIH = 2.4V at +5V, ~3.1V at +12V). The A-suffix version (MAX4052A) is fully characterized for on-resistance match and flatness, but MAX4052C/D is the commercial-grade (0°C to +70°C) non-A variant with relaxed match spec (12Ω) and higher leakage (1nA off-leakage at +25°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Configuration | Dual independent 4:1 multiplexer - enables simultaneous routing of two separate analog signals without crosstalk coupling between sections. |
| Supply Range | +2.7V to +16V single supply or ±2.7V to ±8V dual supply - supports direct integration into 3.3V, 5V, and 12V systems without level-shifting. |
| On-Resistance | 100Ω max at ±5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor front-ends and DAC/ADC interface paths. |
| On-Resistance Match | 12Ω max between channels - maintains consistent gain and offset across selected inputs in multi-channel measurement systems. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance circuits (e.g., pH sensors, photodiode amplifiers) where leakage induces offset drift. |
| Crosstalk | < –90dB at 100kHz (50Ω load) - prevents interference between active and inactive channels in mixed-signal routing applications. |
| Logic Thresholds | 0.8V (VIL) / 2.4V (VIH) at +5V supply - guarantees reliable switching with standard 5V TTL and CMOS outputs without external biasing. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4052C/D is supplied in a 16-pin plastic DIP package (dual in-line package) with 0.3-inch width, compatible with through-hole PCB assembly and socket-based prototyping. Pin functions are electrically identical across SO and QSOP variants, but DIP is the standard form for MAX4052C/D.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive analog/digital supply | Drives internal CMOS gates and sets upper analog signal limit; must be ≥ V− + 2.7V for valid operation. |
| V− | Negative analog supply | Sets lower analog signal limit; tied to GND for single-supply use - defines rail-to-rail capability down to ground. |
| GND | Digital logic ground reference | No analog current path; separates logic domain from analog signal paths to minimize noise coupling. |
| INH | Digital inhibit input | Active-high enable/disable for both multiplexers - simplifies system power management by globally disabling signal paths. |
| ADDA, ADDB | Binary address inputs | Select one of four NOx inputs per section (00→NO0, 01→NO1, etc.); shared between both 4:1 sections for synchronized channel selection. |
| COMA, COMB | Analog common outputs | Outputs of multiplexer sections A and B - bidirectional ports accepting or delivering analog signals with full rail-to-rail swing. |
| NO0A–NO3A, NO0B–NO3B | Analog inputs | Eight total analog inputs (four per section); interchangeable as source or sink - supports flexible signal routing in test equipment and modular I/O systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PIN-compatible with 74HC4052 | Drop-in replacement for industry-standard logic-controlled analog muxes - eliminates redesign when upgrading performance or supply flexibility. |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports input/output signals spanning V− to V+ - enables direct interfacing with op-amps, ADCs, and DACs operating at full supply rails. |
| Low distortion & high off-isolation | < 0.04% THD (600Ω) and < –90dB off-isolation - preserves signal fidelity in audio routing and precision measurement paths. |
| Break-before-make switching | 50ns min break interval (tOPEN) - prevents momentary short-circuits during channel transitions in power-sensitive or fault-tolerant designs. |
| Charge injection control | 2pC typical (10pC max) - minimizes voltage glitches at high-impedance nodes (e.g., sample-and-hold capacitors), reducing settling time overhead. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4052ACPE | A-suffix variant with 6Ω on-resistance match, 0.1nA off-leakage, and extended characterization for precision matching. | Required where channel-to-channel gain consistency or ultra-low leakage is critical (e.g., medical instrumentation). | Select MAX4052ACPE when tighter on-resistance matching or lower leakage justifies higher cost and temperature range (0°C to +70°C same). |
| 74HC4052N | Standard logic-family part with 120Ω on-resistance (typ), no guaranteed match spec, and narrower supply range (+2V to +10V). | Suitable for non-critical digital signal routing or low-cost consumer audio where leakage & matching are secondary. | Choose 74HC4052N only for cost-sensitive, non-precision applications - lacks rail-to-rail analog support below +4.5V and has higher leakage. |
Compared with MAX4052ACPE, MAX4052C/D trades guaranteed 6Ω matching and 0.1nA leakage for lower cost and identical packaging, while versus 74HC4052N it provides superior analog performance, wider supply flexibility, and true rail-to-rail operation - making it optimal for industrial and portable precision signal routing.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX4052C/D?
The MAX4052C/D is specified for 0°C to +70°C operation - the commercial temperature grade. This distinguishes it from the 'E' (–40°C to +85°C) and 'M' (–55°C to +125°C) variants. All electrical parameters in the datasheet for MAX4052C/D are guaranteed within this range, including 100Ω max on-resistance and 1nA max off-leakage at +25°C.
Can MAX4052C/D operate from a single +3.3V supply?
Yes, MAX4052C/D supports single-supply operation from +2.7V to +16V. At +3.3V, on-resistance increases to approximately 250Ω (typ) - confirmed in the Single +3V Supply Electrical Characteristics table. Logic thresholds remain functional (VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.4V), ensuring compatibility with 3.3V microcontrollers without level shifters.
Is MAX4052C/D pin-compatible with MAX4052ACPE?
Yes, MAX4052C/D and MAX4052ACPE share identical pinout, package (16-pin DIP), and basic functionality. Both use V+, V−, GND, INH, ADDA, ADDB, COMA, COMB, and NO0A–NO3A/NO0B–NO3B pins identically. However, MAX4052ACPE offers tighter specs (6Ω vs. 12Ω on-resistance match, 0.1nA vs. 1nA off-leakage) and is characterized across the same 0°C to +70°C range.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by MAX4052C/D?
The MAX4052C/D supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+. With ±5V supplies, this is –5V to +5V; with +5V/V− = GND, it is 0V to +5V. Absolute maximum ratings allow V+ up to +17V and V− down to –17V, but analog signal swing remains bounded by the actual supply rails applied - not by absolute max ratings.
Does MAX4052C/D require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on address lines?
No, MAX4052C/D does not require external biasing on ADDA or ADDB. Its digital inputs have guaranteed TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (0.8V low, 2.4V high at +5V), and input leakage is ±1µA max. Direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs or logic gates is sufficient - no pull resistors needed unless system-level noise immunity requires them.
