Product details
Overview
MAX4581CSE+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 precise signal routing in battery-powered data-acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4581CSE+T datasheet, MAX4581CSE+T pinout, MAX4581CSE+T application, or MAX4581CSE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance matching across channels, break-before-make timing (4–20ns), low charge injection (0.5–5pC), high off-isolation (−74dB at 1MHz), and compatibility with 74HC4051 pinout for drop-in replacement in legacy designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4581CSE+T implements a single 8:1 analog multiplexer architecture using CMOS transmission-gate switches driven by decoded A/B/C address inputs and an active-low ENABLE control. Its internal logic translates TTL/CMOS-level digital inputs into full-rail analog gate drive signals referenced to VCC and VEE, enabling bidirectional rail-to-rail analog conduction without ground reference.
Switching performance is characterized by address transition time (90–200ns), enable turn-on/off times (100–200ns), and break-before-make interval (4–20ns), all measured under 300Ω load and 35pF capacitance. Analog signal integrity is maintained via low distortion (<0.02% THD at 600Ω), high off-isolation (−74dB), and low crosstalk (−96dB for MAX4582 variant).
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 interfaces |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C-critical for maintaining accuracy in high-impedance measurement paths |
| Logic Thresholds | 0.8V to 2.4V-guarantees reliable operation with standard 5V TTL/CMOS controllers |
| Off-Isolation | −74dB at 1MHz-prevents signal coupling between unselected channels in RF-adjacent circuits |
| Charge Injection | 0.5–5pC-limits voltage glitch on high-impedance nodes during channel switching |
| THD | <0.02% at 600Ω, 20Hz–20kHz-preserves fidelity in audio and instrumentation signal chains |
Pinout & Package
MAX4581CSE+T is supplied in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package with exposed pad option not applicable. Pin functions are defined per Maxim's CD4051-compatible nomenclature: pins 1–8 and 12–15 serve as analog I/O (X0–X7), pin 3 is common output X, pins 11/10/9 are address inputs A/B/C, pin 16 is VCC, pin 7 is GND, pin 6 is VEE, and pin 8 is ENABLE.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| X0–X7 | Analog switch inputs | Bidirectional, interchangeable I/O pins-no fixed input/output assignment; each supports rail-to-rail analog voltage swing |
| X | Common analog output | Single-pole connection point selected by A/B/C address bits; passes signal from one of X0–X7 when enabled |
| A, B, C | Digital address inputs | 3-bit binary decoder controlling channel selection; logic thresholds 0.8V/2.4V ensure direct interface with 5V microcontrollers |
| ENABLE | Active-low enable | Pulls all switches open when high; allows global disable without changing address state |
| VCC / VEE | Positive/negative supply rails | Set analog signal range limits and power internal CMOS switches; VEE tied to GND for single-supply operation |
| GND | Digital ground reference | Reference for logic inputs only; analog signals float between VCC and VEE with no ground path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog switching | Signals swing from VEE to VCC without clipping-enables full dynamic range utilization in ±5V or +12V systems |
| Guaranteed RON match | ΔRON ≤ 10Ω across channels-minimizes gain mismatch in multi-channel instrumentation amplifiers |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | Valid 0.8V/2.4V thresholds at VCC = +5V-eliminates need for external level shifters in mixed-signal MCU interfaces |
| Low distortion & crosstalk | <0.02% THD and −96dB crosstalk-preserves signal integrity in audio routing and multi-sensor data acquisition |
| Break-before-make timing | 4–20ns-prevents momentary shorting between channels during address transitions, critical for fault-tolerant designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG408BRZ | 80Ω RON at ±15V, higher supply voltage requirement; 25nA off-leakage at +25°C vs. 1nA for MAX4581CSE+T | Targeted at industrial PLCs with ±15V rails; less suitable for low-leakage battery-powered designs | Select ADG408BRZ only when operating above ±10V or requiring higher ESD tolerance (4kV HBM) |
| 74HC4051D | 120Ω RON at +5V, no guaranteed RON matching, 100nA off-leakage-lower performance and no production testing for leakage specs | General-purpose logic-family mux; lacks rail-to-rail support and guaranteed analog specs for precision use | Choose 74HC4051D for cost-sensitive non-critical routing where leakage <10nA is acceptable |
Compared with ADG408BRZ and 74HC4051D, MAX4581CSE+T offers superior leakage control (1nA), tighter RON matching (≤10Ω), and verified rail-to-rail operation down to +2V-making it optimal for portable, low-power, and precision analog signal routing where channel integrity is critical.

FAQ
What supply voltages does the MAX4581CSE+T support?
The MAX4581CSE+T supports dual supplies from ±2V to ±6V or a single supply from +2V to +12V. When using a single supply, VEE must be connected to GND. Operation at +2V enables compatibility with deeply discharged Li-ion batteries or energy-harvesting sources, while ±5V operation delivers optimal on-resistance (80Ω) and leakage (1nA) performance.
How does the MAX4581CSE+T handle analog signal directionality?
The MAX4581CSE+T features fully bidirectional analog I/O: any pin labeled X0–X7 or X may serve as input or output, and signals pass equally well in both directions. This eliminates polarity constraints in AC-coupled or differential signal paths. The device imposes no ground reference on analog signals-they are strictly bounded by VCC and VEE, enabling true floating operation in isolated subsystems.
Is the MAX4581CSE+T pin-compatible with industry-standard multiplexers?
Yes, the MAX4581CSE+T is pin-compatible with the 74HC4051 and MAX4051 families. Its pinout follows the original RCA CD4051 specification: X0–X7 as analog inputs, X as common output, A/B/C as address lines, and ENABLE as global inhibit. This allows direct replacement in existing layouts without PCB modification, provided supply and thermal requirements are met.
What is the maximum analog signal frequency supported by the MAX4581CSE+T?
The MAX4581CSE+T maintains flat on-loss response up to ~50MHz in 50Ω systems, though off-isolation degrades above 10MHz (−50dB at 10MHz, worsening ~20dB/decade). For audio and DC–1MHz sensor applications, its −74dB off-isolation and <0.02% THD ensure clean channel separation and fidelity. High-frequency users should verify layout-dependent parasitics and consider guard traces to mitigate capacitive coupling.
Does the MAX4581CSE+T require external protection diodes for overvoltage conditions?
No-internal ESD diodes clamp analog pins to VCC and VEE, but proper supply sequencing (VCC first, then VEE, then signals) is mandatory to avoid latch-up. If overvoltage beyond absolute maximum ratings (e.g., >VCC+0.3V or
