Product details
Overview
MAX4581AUE+T from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer configured for rail-to-rail signal switching in low-voltage systems. It operates from ±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 and audio routing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4581AUE+T datasheet, MAX4581AUE+T pinout, MAX4581AUE+T application, or MAX4581AUE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance matching (±10Ω), break-before-make timing (4–20ns), low charge injection (0.5–5pC), and AEC-Q100-qualified variants for automotive signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The MAX4581AUE+T implements a single 8:1 analog multiplexer with three address inputs (A/B/C) and an active-low ENABLE terminal, supporting binary decoding of eight input channels (X0–X7) to a common output (X). Its CMOS switch architecture uses matched P/N transistor pairs driven by level-shifted logic to maintain rail-to-rail analog swing across the full supply range.
Switching performance is characterized by address transition time ≤200ns (RL = 300Ω, CL = 35pF), enable turn-on/off times of 100/40ns under dual ±5V, and break-before-make interval of 4–20ns - ensuring minimal signal transient coupling during channel changes in precision measurement paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Configuration | 8-channel single-pole multiplexer (8:1) |
| Supply Range | ±2V to ±6V dual or +2V to +12V single - enables direct interface with Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V systems |
| On-Resistance | 80Ω max at ±5V - ensures <0.1% gain error in 1kΩ sensor bridge interfaces |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance pH or thermocouple front-ends |
| Logic Thresholds | 0.8V low / 2.4V high at +5V - ensures robust noise margin with standard CMOS/TTL drivers |
| Bandwidth | 50MHz flat response in 50Ω - supports video sync and medium-speed ADC sampling |
| Charge Injection | 0.5–5pC - limits voltage glitch to <5mV on 1nF sampling capacitors |
| Off-Isolation | -74dB at 1MHz (50Ω) - suppresses crosstalk between adjacent sensor channels |
Pinout & Package
MAX4581AUE+T is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 5mm, 0.65mm pitch) with exposed pad connected to VCC per Maxim's recommended layout. Pin functions are fully defined in the datasheet and validated for this variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14 | X0–X7 Analog Inputs | Bidirectional signal terminals; interchangeable as input/output; support rail-to-rail voltage swing |
| 6 | VEE | Negative analog supply; tied to GND for single-supply operation |
| 7 | GND | Digital ground reference; no analog signal reference - all analog signals bounded by VCC/VEE |
| 8 | ENABLE | Active-low digital control; disables all switches when high (logic '1') |
| 9, 10, 11 | A, B, C | Binary address inputs selecting X0–X7; TTL/CMOS compatible at VCC = +5V |
| 15 | X | Common analog output; bidirectional; connects to selected Xn channel when enabled |
| 16 | VCC | Positive analog/digital supply; powers internal logic and switch driver circuitry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports input/output voltages from VEE to VCC - eliminates level-shifting in ±5V op-amp sensor chains |
| Guaranteed on-resistance match | ΔRON ≤ 10Ω across all 8 channels - critical for multi-channel calibration without per-channel correction |
| Low distortion | <0.02% THD at 600Ω load - preserves fidelity in audio routing and instrumentation amplifier outputs |
| High off-isolation | -74dB at 1MHz - prevents signal bleed between unused channels in shared ADC front-ends |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4581EUE+ | Same pinout and function; rated for -40°C to +85°C (vs. -40°C to +125°C) | Suitable for industrial but not under-hood automotive use | Select MAX4581EUE+ where extended temperature qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity is higher |
| ADG1408BRUZ | 8:1 mux with 4.7Ω RON (lower), but requires ≥±4.5V dual or ≥9V single supply; no 2V min operation | Not viable for 2.7V/3.3V battery systems or low-voltage rail-to-rail designs | Choose ADG1408BRUZ only when ultra-low on-resistance is mandatory and supply rails permit ≥±4.5V |
Compared with MAX4581EUE+, the MAX4581AUE+T adds automotive-grade reliability and wider temperature margin; versus ADG1408BRUZ, it trades lower RON for broader supply flexibility and lower minimum voltage operation - making it optimal for portable and automotive edge-sensing nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX4581AUE+T?
The MAX4581AUE+T supports rail-to-rail analog signals from VEE to VCC. With ±5V dual supplies, this is -5V to +5V; with +12V single supply (VEE = GND), it is 0V to +12V. Absolute maximum ratings limit VCC to 13V above VEE, and any analog signal must stay within (VEE – 0.3V) to (VCC + 0.3V) to avoid ESD diode conduction.
Does the MAX4581AUE+T require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its address pins (A/B/C)?
No, the MAX4581AUE+T does not require external biasing on A, B, or C pins. Its logic inputs have guaranteed TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (0.8V low / 2.4V high at VCC = +5V), and internal input current is ±1µA max - allowing direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs without additional components.
Can the MAX4581AUE+T be used with a single 3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX4581AUE+T operates from +2V to +12V single supply. At VCC = 3.3V and VEE = GND, typical on-resistance is 190Ω (max 450Ω), off-leakage remains ≤2nA at +25°C, and logic thresholds adjust to ~0.5V/1.0V - confirmed in the +3V electrical characteristics table of the datasheet.
How is the exposed pad on the MAX4581AUE+T TSSOP package connected?
The exposed pad on the MAX4581AUE+T is designated EP and must be soldered to VCC per Maxim's datasheet recommendation. This improves thermal dissipation and reduces ground bounce; it is not a ground connection. Layout guidelines specify connecting the pad directly to the VCC plane using multiple thermal vias.
Is the MAX4581AUE+T pin-compatible with legacy 74HC4051 devices?
Yes, the MAX4581AUE+T is pin-compatible with the industry-standard 74HC4051 and MAX4051, sharing identical pinout, logic diagram, and truth table. However, it offers superior specifications: lower on-resistance (80Ω vs. ~120Ω), lower leakage (1nA vs. ~100nA), and extended supply range (+2V to +12V vs. +2V to +6V).
