Product details
Overview
MAX4052EEE from Maxim Integrated is a dual 4-channel 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 version), and 0.1nA off-leakage at +25°C. It is used in battery-powered audio/video routing and low-voltage data-acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4052EEE datasheet, MAX4052EEE pinout, MAX4052EEE application, or MAX4052EEE equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual 4:1 configuration, guaranteed on-resistance flatness, TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds, low charge injection (2pC), and -90dB off-isolation at 100kHz - all critical for precision multiplexing in portable instrumentation and communications circuits.
Technical Context
The MAX4052EEE implements two independent 4:1 analog multiplexers using CMOS transmission-gate architecture with separate address decoding (ADDA, ADDB) and global inhibit (INH). Each section routes one of four normally open inputs (NO0–NO3 per section) to a common output (COMA or COMB), with break-before-make timing (≤225ns) preventing signal shorting during channel transitions.
It operates with fully differential analog signal handling: no internal ground reference for analog paths, allowing true rail-to-rail input/output swing between V+ and V−. Logic-level translators isolate digital control (0.8V–2.4V thresholds) from analog supplies, enabling interoperability across ±5V, +5V, and +3V systems without level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Configuration | Dual independent 4:1 analog multiplexer (two 4-channel switches) |
| Supply Range | Single: +2.7V to +16V; Dual: ±2.7V to ±8V - enables direct integration into 3.3V, 5V, and ±5V systems |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 100Ω max at ±5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor interfaces |
| On-Resistance Match | 6Ω max (ΔRON) between channels - preserves amplitude consistency across multiplexed sensor or channel banks |
| Off-Leakage Current | 0.1nA max at +25°C - critical for high-impedance sources (e.g., piezoelectric sensors, pH electrodes) |
| Off-Isolation | <-90dB at 100kHz (50Ω system) - suppresses crosstalk between active and inactive channels in multi-signal routing |
| Logic Thresholds | VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.4V - ensures reliable TTL/CMOS compatibility without external level translation |
Pinout & Package
MAX4052EEE is housed in a 16-pin QSOP (Quarter-Size Outline Package) with 0.154" body width and 0.025" lead pitch, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts while maintaining thermal and mechanical robustness.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5 | NO0A–NO3A | Analog inputs for multiplexer A section; bidirectional, rail-to-rail capable |
| 11, 12, 14, 15 | NO0B–NO3B | Analog inputs for multiplexer B section; electrically isolated from A section |
| 3, 13 | COMA, COMB | Common outputs - each serves as summing node or signal path exit for its respective 4:1 section |
| 9, 10 | ADDA, ADDB | Binary address lines selecting active NOx input per section (00–11) |
| 6 | INH | Global inhibit: logic high disables both multiplexers simultaneously, forcing high-impedance state |
| 7, 8 | V−, GND | V− is negative analog supply (or GND for single supply); GND is digital reference only |
| 16 | V+ | Positive analog/digital supply - powers internal logic translators and switch gates |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin compatibility with 74HC4052 | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy HC logic-based multiplexers without PCB redesign |
| Guaranteed on-resistance flatness | 10Ω max variation over full analog signal range - maintains linearity in audio and DAC output switching |
| Low charge injection | 2pC typical - minimizes voltage glitch on high-impedance nodes during switching (e.g., sample-hold circuits) |
| High off-isolation & low crosstalk | <-90dB off-isolation and <-90dB crosstalk - enables simultaneous routing of sensitive analog and RF signals |
| Wide temperature performance | Specified from -40°C to +85°C - suitable for industrial and automotive cabin environments |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision analog switch enabling reconfigurable signal injection and measurement topologies. Use Value: 2pC charge injection avoids step errors in precision voltage references; 0.8V–2.4V logic thresholds interface directly with low-power MCU GPIOs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4052ESE | Same electrical specs; packaged in 16-pin narrow SO instead of QSOP - 1.27mm vs. 0.635mm lead pitch | Requires PCB footprint change; better thermal dissipation but larger board area | Select for manual assembly or thermal-heavy designs where QSOP reflow is challenging |
| ADG408BRUZ | 8-channel single-ended mux (not dual 4:1); 120Ω RON; 1nA off-leakage at +25°C; SPI-compatible enable | Single-section topology limits independent dual-path routing; higher leakage affects ultra-high-Z sensors | Select when consolidating 8 inputs onto one bus rather than managing two parallel 4-input streams |
Compared with MAX4052ESE and ADG408BRUZ, the MAX4052EEE provides optimal balance of dual independent routing, ultra-low leakage, and compact QSOP packaging - making it preferred for space-constrained, battery-powered systems requiring matched channel performance and minimal signal corruption.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX4052EEE?
The MAX4052EEE is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C. This extended industrial temperature range ensures reliable performance in harsh environments such as factory automation controllers, automotive cabin electronics, and outdoor IoT gateways. The device's leakage current and on-resistance remain within specification across this full range, as validated by 100% testing at maximum hot operating temperature.
Can the MAX4052EEE operate from a single 3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX4052EEE supports single-supply operation down to +2.7V, including standard 3.3V systems. At V+ = 3.3V and V− = GND, typical on-resistance rises to ~350Ω, and switching times increase moderately - but all logic thresholds (0.8V/2.4V) and rail-to-rail analog capability remain functional. This makes the MAX4052EEE suitable for modern low-power microcontroller-based data loggers without requiring level-shifting circuitry.
How does the MAX4052EEE handle analog signal directionality?
The MAX4052EEE is fully bidirectional: NO and COM pins are electrically identical and interchangeable. Signals pass with equal integrity in either direction - from NO to COM or COM to NO - with no internal polarity constraints. This allows flexible use as an input selector (multiple sensors → single ADC) or output router (single DAC → multiple actuators), provided analog voltage stays within V− to V+ rails.
What is the purpose of the INH pin on the MAX4052EEE?
INH (Inhibit) is a global enable/disable control for both 4:1 multiplexers. When driven high, INH forces all switches into high-impedance off-state regardless of address inputs - effectively disconnecting all analog paths. When low, normal address-controlled switching resumes. This feature simplifies system-level power gating and fault isolation, and eliminates need for external disable logic in safety-critical or power-managed designs using the MAX4052EEE.
Is the MAX4052EEE pin-compatible with the industry-standard 74HC4052?
Yes, the MAX4052EEE is explicitly designed as a pin-compatible upgrade to the 74HC4052. It shares identical pinout, package outline (16-pin QSOP), and logic-level compatibility, while delivering superior analog performance: lower on-resistance (100Ω vs. ~120Ω), tighter channel matching (6Ω vs. unspecified), and drastically reduced leakage (0.1nA vs. ~100nA). No PCB changes are required when upgrading from HC4052 to MAX4052EEE in existing designs.
