Product details
Overview
MAX4559EPE from Analog Devices is a dual 4-to-1 CMOS analog multiplexer configured for bidirectional signal routing in low-voltage systems, featuring ±15kV HBM ESD protection on all X/Y signal pins, 160Ω on-resistance at ±5V supply, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling up to ±6V. It operates across -40°C to +85°C in a 16-pin plastic DIP package and is used in audio/video switching and battery-powered data-acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4559EPE datasheet, MAX4559EPE pinout, MAX4559EPE application, or MAX4559EPE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON match (2Ω typ), sub-1nA off-leakage at +25°C, TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs, and verified break-before-make timing (4–15ns) critical for glitch-free channel switching in precision analog paths.
Technical Context
The MAX4559EPE implements two independent 4-to-1 analog multiplexers sharing common address lines (A, B) and enable control, with separate X and Y output buses. Each channel uses complementary CMOS switch pairs with integrated ESD protection SCRs tied to GND on all analog I/O pins (X₀–X₃, Y₀–Y₃, X, Y).
It supports dual-supply operation (±2V to ±6V) or single-supply (+2V to +12V), with logic thresholds fixed at +0.8V/+2.4V for compatibility across supply configurations. Switching performance is characterized with 300Ω load and 35pF capacitance, delivering tON ≤ 175ns and tOFF ≤ 150ns over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (±5V) | 160Ω max - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision instrumentation paths |
| RON Match | 2Ω typ - enables accurate ratiometric measurements and matched channel tracking in differential systems |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA at +25°C - preserves high-impedance sensor node integrity and reduces DC offset drift |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG408BRZ | Single 8-to-1 mux; 100Ω RON at ±15V; no integrated ESD protection beyond 2kV HBM | Requires external ESD protection in harsh environments; higher supply voltage headroom but less suitable for low-voltage portable designs | Select when higher voltage swing (>±6V) is required and board space allows for discrete protection components |
| TS5A23157DGSR | Dual SPDT; 0.9Ω RON at +3.3V; ±6kV HBM ESD rating; no dual-supply support | Optimized for single-supply, low-RON applications only; lacks address decoding and multiplexer functionality | Choose for ultra-low on-resistance in 3.3V-only systems where discrete channel selection suffices |
Compared with ADG408BRZ and TS5A23157DGSR, the MAX4559EPE uniquely combines dual 4-to-1 architecture, ±15kV ESD hardening, and true dual-supply operation - making it the only option among the three qualified for battery-powered, field-deployable analog routing where reliability, low voltage, and integrated protection are jointly mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage range supported by the MAX4559EPE?
The MAX4559EPE supports dual supplies from ±2V to ±6V or a single supply from +2V to +12V. Absolute maximum ratings specify VCC up to +13V and VEE down to -0.3V relative to GND. Operation outside these ranges risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, Analog Devices specifies ±5V or +5V as typical operating points with full parameter guarantees.
Does the MAX4559EPE require external ESD protection components?
No, the MAX4559EPE does not require external ESD protection components. It integrates on-chip silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) on all analog I/O pins (X₀–X₃, Y₀–Y₃, X, Y), certified to ±15kV per Human Body Model (HBM), ±12kV air-gap, and ±8kV contact discharge per IEC 1000-4-2. This eliminates the need for discrete TVS diodes in most end-equipment designs.
How does the ENABLE pin function on the MAX4559EPE?
The ENABLE pin on the MAX4559EPE is an active-low digital control. When pulled low (≤0.8V), the device enables both multiplexers and responds to address inputs (A, B). When driven high (≥2.4V), all internal switches open regardless of address state, placing outputs in high-impedance mode. The pin draws less than 1µA and is TTL/CMOS compatible across all supported supply configurations.
Can the MAX4559EPE be used with a single +3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX4559EPE operates with a single +3.3V supply. At VCC = +3.3V, typical on-resistance is 400Ω, input logic thresholds shift to +0.5V (low) and +1.5V (high), and turn-on time increases to 350ns max. All electrical characteristics remain guaranteed across -40°C to +85°C, though RON flatness and leakage increase slightly versus ±5V operation.
What is the purpose of the VEE pin on the MAX4559EPE?
The VEE pin on the MAX4559EPE serves as the negative analog supply rail. In dual-supply mode, it sets the lower bound of the analog signal range (e.g., -5V with VCC = +5V). In single-supply operation, VEE must be connected to GND to establish the 0V reference. Leaving VEE floating or applying incorrect voltage violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause latchup or parametric failure.
