Product details
Overview
MAX4581ASE+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer configured for rail-to-rail signal switching in low-voltage systems. It operates with ±2V to ±6V dual supplies or +2V to +12V single supply, delivers 80Ω on-resistance at ±5V, guarantees ≤1nA off-leakage at +25°C, and supports TTL/CMOS logic compatibility-enabling use in battery-powered data-acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4581ASE+ datasheet, MAX4581ASE+ pinout, MAX4581ASE+ application, or MAX4581ASE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance matching across channels, automotive-grade temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), low distortion (<0.02% @ 600Ω), high off-isolation (–74dB @ 50Ω), and compatibility with industry-standard 74HC4051 pinout and logic.
Technical Context
The MAX4581ASE+ implements a single 8:1 analog multiplexer architecture with three address inputs (A, B, C) and an active-low ENABLE terminal. Its internal CMOS switch array uses bipolar-supply-compatible gate drive, enabling rail-to-rail analog signal handling without ground reference-signals are bounded only by VCC and VEE potentials.
All digital inputs feature fixed 0.8V/2.4V logic thresholds independent of supply voltage, ensuring robust interface with both 3.3V and 5V controllers. The device's ESD protection diodes connect each analog pin to VCC and VEE, defining leakage paths that scale with analog voltage swing and temperature-verified to ≤5nA at +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | ±2V to ±6V dual or +2V to +12V single-supports wide input voltage flexibility without level-shifting circuitry |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 80Ω max at ±5V-ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor routing |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C-critical for maintaining accuracy in high-impedance, low-current measurement paths |
| On-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C-preserves signal integrity during active channel conduction |
| Off-Isolation | –74dB at 50Ω, +25°C-suppresses crosstalk between unselected channels in multi-signal systems |

| Logic Thresholds | 0.8V low / 2.4V high-guarantees interoperability with standard TTL and CMOS outputs at +5V supply |
Pinout & Package
MAX4581ASE+ is supplied in a 16-pin narrow SO package (SOIC-16, 150 mil width), RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad not present (TQFN variant has EP; this SO version does not).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | X0 | Analog input channel 0-bidirectional, rail-to-rail capable, interchangeable as input or output |
| 2 | X1 | Analog input channel 1-identical electrical behavior to X0; matched RON ensures consistent channel performance |
| 3 | X2 | Analog input channel 2-part of 8-channel set; all inputs share same leakage and capacitance specs |
| 4 | X3 | Analog input channel 3-pin-compatible with CD4051/MAX4051, simplifying legacy design migration |
| 5 | X4 | Analog input channel 4-no internal pull-up/down; requires external biasing if floating |
| 6 | X5 | Analog input channel 5-fully isolated when off; no GND reference required for analog path |
| 7 | X6 | Analog input channel 6-capacitance: 18pF off, 25pF on-impacts bandwidth in high-Z circuits |
| 8 | X7 | Analog input channel 7-final channel in 8:1 mux; selected when A/B/C = 111 per truth table |
| 9 | A | Address bit 0-LSB of 3-bit binary select; TTL/CMOS compatible, no external termination needed |
| 10 | B | Address bit 1-driven directly from microcontroller GPIO; <1µA input current minimizes loading |
| 11 | C | Address bit 2-MSB; enables full 8-channel selection; timing-critical for address transition (≤200ns) |
| 12 | ENABLE | Active-low global enable-asserting low activates mux; high disconnects all channels (high-Z state) |
| 13 | VCC | Positive supply-powers logic core and switch driver; must be sequenced before VEE and signals |
| 14 | VEE | Negative supply-sets lower analog rail; tied to GND for single-supply operation |
| 15 | X | Common analog I/O-bidirectional output/input; connects to selected X0–X7 channel when enabled |
| 16 | GND | Digital ground reference-separate from analog signal path; no current return path for analog signals |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4051ACSE+ | Same 8:1 architecture, but rated 0°C to +70°C only; 100Ω RON at ±5V vs. 80Ω | Lacks automotive temperature range; higher RON increases gain error in precision systems | Select MAX4581ASE+ when operating beyond +70°C or requiring tighter RON matching |
| ADG1408BRUZ | 8:1 mux with 4.7Ω RON (lower), but requires ≥±4.5V dual or ≥9V single supply; no 2V min operation | Not suitable for ultra-low-voltage battery systems; higher supply demand increases power system complexity | Choose MAX4581ASE+ for 2V–12V supply flexibility and guaranteed sub-5nA leakage at +85°C |
Compared with MAX4051ACSE+, MAX4581ASE+ extends temperature range and improves RON spec; versus ADG1408BRUZ, it trades lower on-resistance for wider supply adaptability and superior leakage performance at elevated temperatures-making it optimal for automotive and portable industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4581ASE+?
The MAX4581ASE+ has an absolute maximum VCC rating of 13V referenced to VEE. For reliable operation, dual supplies must stay within ±2V to ±6V, and single-supply operation is specified from +2V to +12V. Exceeding these ranges risks permanent damage due to internal ESD diode conduction or latch-up.
Does MAX4581ASE+ support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, MAX4581ASE+ supports true rail-to-rail analog signal switching-the analog inputs and common terminal (X) can handle voltages from VEE to VCC without clipping or distortion. This capability eliminates the need for external level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with sensors or DACs operating near supply rails.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance match between channels for MAX4581ASE+?
The MAX4581ASE+ guarantees ΔRON ≤ 10Ω across all eight channels when operated at ±5V supplies. This tight matching ensures consistent gain and offset behavior across multiplexed signal paths-critical for calibration accuracy in multi-sensor data acquisition systems.
Can MAX4581ASE+ be used with a single 3.3V supply?
Yes, MAX4581ASE+ operates with a single +3.3V supply (VEE = GND). At this voltage, typical on-resistance is 190Ω, off-leakage remains ≤2nA at +25°C, and logic thresholds adjust to 0.5V/2.0V-maintaining compatibility with 3.3V microcontrollers without level translation.
Is MAX4581ASE+ pin-compatible with the CD4051 analog multiplexer?
Yes, MAX4581ASE+ is fully pin-compatible and functionally identical to the CD4051, 74HC4051, and MAX4051-sharing the same 16-pin SO package layout, address/control pin assignments (A/B/C/ENABLE), and X0–X7/X pinout. This allows drop-in replacement in existing designs while delivering improved leakage, RON, and temperature performance.
