Product details
Overview
MAX4559CEE from Analog Devices is a dual 4-to-1 analog multiplexer configured as two independent 4-channel switch arrays, operating from ±2V to ±6V dual supplies or +2V to +12V single supply, with rail-to-rail signal handling, ±15kV HBM ESD protection on all X/Y/Z and X_/Y_/Z_ pins, and 160Ω typical on-resistance at ±5V - used in audio/video routing and low-voltage data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4559CEE datasheet, MAX4559CEE pinout, MAX4559CEE application, or MAX4559CEE equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs (RON, leakage, crosstalk), package mapping (16-pin QSOP), functional truth table, ESD protection architecture, and real-world selection guidance against industry-standard alternatives.
Technical Context
The MAX4559CEE implements two independent 4-to-1 analog multiplexers sharing common address lines (A, B) and enable (ENABLE), with separate X and Y analog I/O banks. Each channel uses CMOS transmission-gate topology with integrated bidirectional SCRs for ±15kV ESD protection on all analog terminals.
It supports TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs (0.8V/2.4V thresholds at +5V supply), guarantees < −93dB crosstalk and < −96dB off-isolation at 100kHz (50Ω), and maintains ≤2Ω RON match between channels - enabling precise signal routing without gain or phase mismatch in multi-channel instrumentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Configuration | Dual 4-to-1 analog multiplexer - two independent switch banks (X and Y) with shared A/B address and ENABLE control. |
| Supply Range | ±2V to ±6V dual or +2V to +12V single - enables operation in battery-powered and mixed-supply industrial systems. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 160Ω typ at ±5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision analog paths. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and sample-hold circuits. |
| Crosstalk | < −93dB at 100kHz (50Ω) - prevents interference between active and inactive channels in multi-signal routing. |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV HBM, ±12kV IEC air-gap, ±8kV IEC contact - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in portable equipment. |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 90ns/55ns typ (±5V, 300Ω/35pF) - supports fast-switching applications up to ~10MHz effective bandwidth. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4559CEE is housed in a 16-pin QSOP (Quarter-Size Outline Package) with 0.154" body width and 0.025" lead pitch, RoHS-compliant and suitable for automated SMT assembly.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Y1 | Analog input for Y-bank channel 1 - interchangeable as input or output; supports bidirectional rail-to-rail signals. |
| 2 | Y0 | Analog input for Y-bank channel 0 - shares same electrical characteristics and ESD protection as Y1–Y3. |
| 3 | Y | Common analog output for Y-bank - connects to selected Y0–Y3 based on A/B address and ENABLE state. |
| 4 | X3 | Analog input for X-bank channel 3 - one of four selectable inputs routed to X output when ENABLE = low. |
| 5 | X2 | Analog input for X-bank channel 2 - matched RON (≤2Ω variation) ensures consistent gain across X-bank channels. |
| 6 | ENABLE | Digital enable input - logic low activates both multiplexers; logic high forces all switches open (high-Z state). |
| 7 | VEE | Negative analog supply - tied to GND for single-supply operation; sets lower rail for analog signal range. |
| 8 | GND | System ground reference - serves as return path for analog signals, digital logic, and ESD SCR current discharge. |
| 9 | C | Unused (no connection) - C input is absent on MAX4559; pin is NC per datasheet Pin Description table. |
| 10 | B | Address bit B - selects upper/lower pair within X or Y bank (e.g., B=0 → X0/X1 or Y0/Y1; B=1 → X2/X3 or Y2/Y3). |
| 11 | A | Address bit A - selects individual channel within pair (e.g., A=0 → X0/Y0; A=1 → X1/Y1). |
| 12 | X1 | Analog input for X-bank channel 1 - electrically identical to X0/X2/X3; supports same voltage range and leakage spec. |
| 13 | X0 | Analog input for X-bank channel 0 - default channel activated when A=B=0 and ENABLE=low. |
| 14 | X | Common analog output for X-bank - connects to selected X0–X3; isolated from Y-bank except via shared ENABLE/A/B. |
| 15 | Y3 | Analog input for Y-bank channel 3 - completes full 4-channel set for Y multiplexer; pin-compatible with 74HC4052. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive analog/digital supply - powers internal logic translators, gate drivers, and ESD protection circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports input/output signals from VEE to VCC - eliminates clipping in ±5V or +5V systems with wide dynamic range. |
| ±15kV HBM ESD protection on all analog I/O | Integrated SCRs on X/Y/X_/Y_ pins eliminate external protection components and prevent latchup during ESD events. |
| Guaranteed RON match ≤2Ω (typ) | Ensures uniform gain and minimal channel-to-channel error in multi-channel data acquisition and calibration systems. |
| TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds | 0.8V/2.4V thresholds at +5V supply allow direct interfacing with microcontrollers, FPGAs, and legacy logic without level shifters. |
| Low charge injection (1pC typ) | Minimizes voltage glitch on sampled nodes - critical for precision ADC front-ends and sample-and-hold applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC4052PW | No integrated ESD protection; 120Ω RON at +4.5V; requires external TVS for ±8kV IEC compliance. | Lacks ±15kV HBM rating - unsuitable for handheld or unshielded field equipment without added protection. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs ESD robustness and board space allows external protection components. |
| ADG1414BRUZ | Higher RON (1.8Ω typ), wider supply (±15V), but no integrated ±15kV HBM - relies on external clamps. | Targeted at high-voltage industrial systems; lacks the low-leakage (1nA) and fast switching (55ns) optimized for portable designs. | Prefer for high-precision, high-voltage applications where leakage and speed are secondary to voltage range. |
Compared with 74HC4052PW and ADG1414BRUZ, the MAX4559CEE uniquely combines ±15kV HBM ESD protection, 1nA off-leakage, and 160Ω RON in a single 16-QSOP package - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-operated, and high-reliability analog routing where external protection adds cost and complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage range supported by the MAX4559CEE?
The MAX4559CEE operates from dual supplies of ±2V to ±6V or a single supply of +2V to +12V. Absolute maximum ratings specify VCC and VEE up to ±6V for dual operation or VCC up to +13V for single-supply use - with internal diode clamping protecting against overvoltage on analog pins relative to supplies.
Does the MAX4559CEE support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, the MAX4559CEE supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow - its CMOS transmission-gate architecture allows signals to pass equally well from X/Y inputs to X/Y outputs or vice versa, with identical RON, leakage, and bandwidth specifications in both directions.
How does the ESD protection in the MAX4559CEE work without affecting normal operation?
The MAX4559CEE uses on-chip bidirectional SCRs between protected pins (X/Y/X_/Y_) and GND. These SCRs remain off during normal operation, introducing negligible leakage or capacitance. During an ESD event, they trigger in nanoseconds to shunt surge current safely to ground - turning off automatically once current falls below the holding threshold (70–110mA).
Is the MAX4559CEE pin-compatible with standard logic multiplexers like the 74HC4052?
Yes, the MAX4559CEE is explicitly pin-compatible with the 74HC4052 in 16-pin SO and QSOP packages - sharing identical pin assignments for VCC, GND, ENABLE, A/B address, and X/Y analog I/O - enabling drop-in replacement where enhanced ESD robustness and rail-to-rail performance are required.
What is the typical on-resistance matching between channels in the MAX4559CEE?
The MAX4559CEE guarantees ≤2Ω typical on-resistance match (ΔRON) between any two channels within the same bank (X or Y) at ±5V supply and +25°C - critical for maintaining signal fidelity in multi-channel acquisition systems where channel-to-channel gain consistency is essential.
