Product details
Overview
The MAX4559EEE+ from Analog Devices is a dual 4-to-1 analog multiplexer configured as two independent 4-channel switch arrays (X and Y sections), 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 signal pins, and 160Ω typical on-resistance at ±5V - used in audio/video routing and low-voltage data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4559EEE+ datasheet, MAX4559EEE+ pinout, MAX4559EEE+ application, or MAX4559EEE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, truth-table–validated switching behavior, package-specific thermal derating, ESD latchup recovery guidance, and direct alternatives for dual-mux signal path design.
Technical Context
The MAX4559EEE+ implements two independent CMOS analog multiplexers sharing common address lines (A, B) and enable (ENABLE), each selecting one of four bidirectional analog inputs (X0–X3 or Y0–Y3) to its respective output (X or Y). Switching is break-before-make with <15ns delay and <1pC charge injection at ±5V.
All analog terminals feature integrated SCR-based ESD protection rated to ±15kV HBM and ±12kV IEC 1000-4-2 air-gap discharge, with holding currents of 110mA (IH+) and 95mA (IH−) at +25°C - requiring external current limiting below 70mA at +85°C to ensure automatic SCR turn-off after ESD events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | Dual ±2V to ±6V or single +2V to +12V - supports battery-powered and mixed-supply systems without level-shifting. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 160Ω typ at ±5V - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation in precision analog paths. |
| RON Match | 2Ω typ between channels - enables matched gain/attenuation across multiplexed sensor or audio channels. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C - preserves high-impedance node integrity in low-power data acquisition. |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV HBM on X/Y pins - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in portable equipment interfaces. |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 90ns/55ns typ at ±5V - suitable for multiplexing audio signals up to ~1MHz with minimal timing skew. |
| THD | <0.02% at 600Ω - maintains fidelity in line-level audio routing applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4559EEE+ uses a 16-pin QSOP package (5.3mm × 10.2mm, 0.65mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is top-left corner (notch-mark side), pin 16 bottom-right.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5 | Y0–Y3 Inputs | Bidirectional analog inputs for Y-section mux; interchangeable as source or sink. |
| 3 | Y Output | Common analog output node for Y-section; connects to selected Y0–Y3 when ENABLE = low. |
| 6 | ENABLE | Active-low digital control: logic low enables both muxes; logic high forces all switches open. |
| 7 | VEE | Negative analog supply input; tie to GND for single-supply operation (+2V to +12V). |
| 8 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be low-impedance return for ESD current paths. |
| 9, 10, 11 | C, B, A | Binary address inputs (C unused on MAX4559); select channel 0–3 for both X and Y sections simultaneously. |
| 12–15 | X0–X3 Inputs | Bidirectional analog inputs for X-section mux; functionally identical to Y0–Y3. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive analog/digital supply input; powers internal logic and switch drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±15kV HBM ESD protection on X/Y pins | Eliminates external protection components in handheld test equipment and medical sensors. |
| Break-before-make switching | Prevents momentary short-circuits during channel transitions in power-sensitive analog front-ends. |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal range | Supports full dynamic range of ±5V op-amps or 0–5V ADCs without clipping or distortion. |
| 1nA off-leakage at +25°C | Enables accurate DC-coupled multiplexing of thermocouple or pH sensor outputs. |
| Pin-compatible with 74HC4052 | Allows drop-in replacement in legacy designs using industry-standard dual 4-to-1 mux footprints. |
Applications
| Audio Signal Routing | Portable Data Acquisition |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4-to-1 analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1419BRUZ | Higher RON (1.3Ω typ), lower leakage (0.15nA), but no integrated ±15kV ESD protection - requires external TVS. | Preferred for ultra-low-distortion instrumentation where ESD risk is mitigated externally. | Select ADG1419BRUZ when sub-1Ω RON and <0.2nA leakage outweigh ESD integration needs. |
| 74HC4052PW,118 | No ESD protection, higher RON (120Ω min at 4.5V), TTL/CMOS logic only - lacks rail-to-rail analog range. | Suitable for digital-control analog routing in benign lab environments with clean power. | Choose 74HC4052PW,118 for cost-sensitive, non-ESD-critical consumer electronics with 5V-only supply. |
Compared with ADG1419BRUZ and 74HC4052PW,118, the MAX4559EEE+ uniquely integrates ±15kV HBM ESD protection and rail-to-rail operation while maintaining 160Ω RON and 1nA leakage - making it optimal for ruggedized portable or industrial analog signal routing where board space and reliability are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage range supported by the MAX4559EEE+?
The MAX4559EEE+ operates from dual supplies of ±2V to ±6V or a single supply of +2V to +12V. Absolute maximum ratings specify VCC up to +13V and VEE down to -0.3V relative to GND. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage due to internal diode conduction. For robust long-term operation, stay within the recommended ±6V dual or +12V single supply range.
Does the MAX4559EEE+ require external ESD protection components?
No, the MAX4559EEE+ does not require external ESD protection components on its X and Y signal pins. It integrates on-chip SCR-based protection rated to ±15kV per Human Body Model and ±12kV per IEC 1000-4-2 air-gap discharge. However, external current-limiting resistors (≤70mA at +85°C) are required to ensure automatic SCR turn-off after an ESD event.
How does the MAX4559EEE+ handle analog signal directionality?
The MAX4559EEE+ supports bidirectional analog signal flow: any X or Y pin can serve as input or output. The datasheet explicitly states "input and output pins are identical and interchangeable" - meaning signals pass equally well in either direction. This enables flexible use in feedback paths, sensor excitation circuits, or shared analog bus architectures without redesign.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance matching between channels in the MAX4559EEE+?
The MAX4559EEE+ guarantees on-resistance matching (ΔRON) of ≤6Ω over temperature (−40°C to +85°C) and ≤2Ω typical at +25°C. This specification ensures consistent gain or attenuation across multiplexed channels - critical for applications like multi-channel sensor conditioning where mismatch-induced errors must remain below 0.1%.
Can the MAX4559EEE+ operate from a +3.3V single supply?
Yes, the MAX4559EEE+ is fully specified for +3.3V single-supply operation. At VCC = +3.3V, typical on-resistance is 220Ω, logic thresholds are +0.5V (low) and +1.5V (high), and turn-on time is 180ns. All key parameters - including leakage, crosstalk, and THD - are characterized across the +2.7V to +3.6V range, making it suitable for modern low-voltage embedded systems.
