Product details
Overview
The MAX4559ESE+ from Analog Devices is a dual 4-to-1 analog multiplexer configured for bidirectional signal routing in low-voltage systems, featuring ±15kV HBM ESD protection on all X/Y signal pins, 160Ω typical on-resistance at ±5V supply, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling up to ±6V. It operates across -40°C to +85°C and is used in audio/video switching, battery-powered instrumentation, and high-ESD industrial interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4559ESE+ datasheet, MAX4559ESE+ pinout, MAX4559ESE+ application, or MAX4559ESE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, truth-table–driven channel selection behavior, package-specific thermal derating, ESD latchup recovery requirements, and direct alternatives with documented RON and leakage differences.
Technical Context
The MAX4559ESE+ implements two independent 4-to-1 multiplexers sharing common address lines (A, B) and enable control, with separate X and Y output terminals. Each section uses CMOS transmission-gate architecture with integrated SCR-based ESD protection on all analog I/O pins (X₀–X₃, Y₀–Y₃, X, Y), enabling robust operation in ungrounded or floating-signal environments.
It supports single-supply (+2V to +12V) or dual-supply (±2V to ±6V) operation, with TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs (0.8V/2.4V thresholds at +5V), <1nA off-leakage at +25°C, and guaranteed break-before-make timing (4–15ns) to prevent signal shorting during channel transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Configuration | Dual 4-to-1 analog multiplexer with shared A/B address and independent X/Y outputs |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 160Ω typ at ±5V supply - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision sensor or audio paths |
| RON Match Between Channels | 2Ω typ - enables matched gain/attenuation across channels in differential or ratiometric measurement systems |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance, µA-level sensor front-ends and battery-monitoring circuits |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV HBM, ±12kV IEC air-gap, ±8kV IEC contact - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in portable medical or field-deployed equipment |
| Supply Range | ±2V to ±6V dual or +2V to +12V single - supports Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2V), USB-powered (5V), and industrial ±5V rails |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 90/55ns typ at ±5V - suitable for multiplexed data acquisition up to ~5MHz sampling without inter-channel skew artifacts |
Pinout & Package
MAX4559ESE+ is supplied in a 16-pin narrow SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, 3.9mm width, RoHS-compliant, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and 1.27mm pitch.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Y₁ | Analog input for Y-section channel 1 - bidirectional, rail-to-rail capable, ESD-protected |
| 2 | Y₀ | Analog input for Y-section channel 0 - shares enable/address logic with Y₁–Y₃ and X₀–X₃ |
| 3 | Y | Y-section analog output - connects selected Y₀–Y₃ input; must be current-limited to <70mA to ensure SCR turn-off after ESD event |
| 4 | X₀ | Analog input for X-section channel 0 - identical electrical behavior to Y₀; interchangeable in layout |
| 5 | X₃ | Analog input for X-section channel 3 - supports full ±6V analog swing when VEE = -6V |
| 6 | ENABLE | Active-low digital enable - tie to GND to activate both multiplexers; drive high to force all switches open |
| 7 | VEE | Negative analog supply - connect to GND for single-supply use; sets lower rail for analog signal range |
| 8 | GND | Logic and analog reference ground - star-point connection required for low-noise performance |
| 9 | C | Address line C - not used on MAX4559 (C = don't care); reserved for MAX4558/4560 compatibility |
| 10 | B | Address line B - selects one of four channels per section (00–11 binary) with A and C |
| 11 | A | Address line A - LSB of 2-bit address; combined with B determines active X/Y channel pair |
| 12 | X₂ | Analog input for X-section channel 2 - matched RON and leakage to X₀/X₁/X₃ enables calibrated multiplexing |
| 13 | X₁ | Analog input for X-section channel 1 - ESD-protected; same layout rules as X₀ apply |
| 14 | X | X-section analog output - independent of Y output; allows simultaneous dual-path routing |
| 15 | X₀ | Analog input for X-section channel 0 - duplicate pin numbering reflects internal symmetry; electrically identical to Pin 4 |
| 16 | VCC | Positive analog/digital supply - powers internal logic translators and switch gates; bypass with 100nF near pin |

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX4559ESE+?
The MAX4559ESE+ supports rail-to-rail analog signals from VEE to VCC. With dual supplies of ±5V, it handles ±5V signals; with single +5V and GND, it passes 0V to +5V. Absolute maximum ratings allow VEE as low as -6V and VCC as high as +12V, but signal range remains bounded by the actual supply rails applied. Exceeding VEE or VCC triggers internal ESD diode conduction.
Does the MAX4559ESE+ require external ESD protection components?
No, the MAX4559ESE+ does not require external ESD protection components on its X and Y analog pins. It integrates SCR-based protection rated for ±15kV HBM, ±12kV IEC air-gap, and ±8kV IEC contact discharge. However, sources connected to X/Y pins must be current-limited to <70mA (at +85°C) to ensure SCR turn-off after an ESD event.
How does the ENABLE pin function on the MAX4559ESE+?
The ENABLE pin on the MAX4559ESE+ is active-low. When pulled low (≤0.8V), both multiplexer sections operate normally under A/B address control. When driven high (≥2.4V), all internal switches open regardless of address state - effectively disconnecting all analog paths. This provides hardware-level signal isolation independent of logic sequencing.
Can the MAX4559ESE+ be used with a single 3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX4559ESE+ operates with a single +3.3V supply (VCC = +3.3V, VEE = GND). At this voltage, typical on-resistance is 220–400Ω, input logic thresholds are 0.5V/1.5V, and turn-on time increases to 180–350ns. All specifications remain valid across the -40°C to +85°C range, making it suitable for low-power IoT sensor hubs.
What is the significance of the "E" suffix in MAX4559ESE+?
The "E" in MAX4559ESE+ denotes the extended temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C), distinguishing it from the commercial-grade "C" version (0°C to +70°C). The "SE" indicates a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, and the "+" confirms RoHS compliance and lead-free finish. This suffix combination guarantees full parametric performance across the full industrial temperature range.
