Product details
Overview
MAX4581CUE+T 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, features 80Ω on-resistance at ±5V, 1nA off-leakage at +25°C, and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs - enabling use in battery-powered audio routing and low-voltage data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4581CUE+T datasheet, MAX4581CUE+T pinout, MAX4581CUE+T application, or MAX4581CUE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance matching (±10Ω), break-before-make timing (4–20ns), low crosstalk (< –96dB @ 1MHz), high off-isolation (< –74dB), and TSSOP-16 packaging for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4581CUE+T implements a single 8:1 analog multiplexer architecture with three digital address lines (A, B, C) and an active-low ENABLE input. Its internal CMOS switch array uses bipolar-supply-compatible gate drive to support rail-to-rail analog signals from VEE to VCC, with ESD diodes clamping each channel to both supply rails.
Switching behavior is governed by break-before-make timing (4–20ns), charge injection (0.5–5pC), and flat on-resistance (±12Ω variation over ±4.5V signal range). Logic thresholds are fixed at 0.8V/2.4V for TTL/CMOS compatibility across +5V or ±5V operation, with no level-shifting circuitry required.
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 - supports portable and industrial rail-flexible designs |
| On-Resistance | 80Ω max at ±5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation in precision sensor or audio paths |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance measurement circuits |
| Crosstalk | < –96dB @ 1MHz, 50Ω - prevents interference between adjacent channels in multi-signal routing |
| Off-Isolation | < –74dB @ 1MHz, 50Ω - maintains channel separation when switches are disabled |

Pinout & Package
MAX4581CUE+T is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (3.0mm × 4.4mm, 0.65mm pitch) with exposed pad not connected internally. Pin functions follow industry-standard CD4051-compatible nomenclature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | X0–X7 | Eight analog input/output terminals - bidirectional, interchangeable signal paths |
| 9 | C | Digital address bit C - selects upper/lower half of 8-channel matrix |
| 10 | B | Digital address bit B - enables 4-channel grouping within selected half |
| 11 | A | Digital address bit A - final channel selection within 4-channel group |
| 12 | ENABLE | Active-low enable - disables all switches when high (logic '1') |
| 13 | X | Common analog terminal - connects to selected X0–X7 channel |
| 14 | GND | Digital ground reference - no analog signal reference; only logic supply return |
| 15 | VEE | Negative analog supply - tied to GND for single-supply operation |
| 16 | VCC | Positive analog/digital supply - powers internal logic and switch gates |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports signals from VEE to VCC - eliminates clipping in ±5V or +5V systems |
| Guaranteed on-resistance match | ±10Ω max difference between any two channels - critical for gain-matched instrumentation |
| Low distortion | < 0.02% THD @ 600Ω - preserves fidelity in audio and sensor signal chains |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1408BRUZ | 8:1 mux with 4.7Ω on-resistance, ±15V supply capability, but higher 125pA on-leakage and no guaranteed RON match | Better for high-voltage industrial signal chains; less suitable for low-leakage sensor front-ends | Select ADG1408BRUZ when ultra-low RON and extended supply range outweigh leakage and matching requirements. |
| TMUX1308PWR | 8:1 mux with 5.5Ω on-resistance, +1.8V to +5.5V single-supply only, 10pA off-leakage at +25°C, no dual-supply support | Optimized for low-power, single-rail IoT edge devices; incompatible with bipolar or >+5.5V systems | Choose TMUX1308PWR for battery-critical applications where supply voltage is strictly ≤+5.5V and leakage <10pA is mandatory. |
Compared with ADG1408BRUZ and TMUX1308PWR, the MAX4581CUE+T uniquely balances dual-supply flexibility (±2V to ±6V), guaranteed RON matching (±10Ω), and sub-nA leakage - making it optimal for mixed-signal systems requiring both precision and supply adaptability.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal range supported by the MAX4581CUE+T?
The MAX4581CUE+T supports rail-to-rail analog signals from VEE to VCC. With ±5V dual supplies, this means –5V to +5V; with +5V single supply (VEE = GND), the range is 0V to +5V. Absolute maximum ratings allow VEE as low as –0.3V and VCC as high as +13V, but operational signal range remains bounded by the applied supply rails.
Does the MAX4581CUE+T require external level-shifting for use with 3.3V microcontrollers?
No. The MAX4581CUE+T has TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds (0.8V low, 2.4V high) that function correctly with 3.3V GPIO outputs. When powered from +5V or ±5V supplies, its address (A/B/C) and ENABLE inputs accept standard 3.3V logic levels without external translation circuitry.
How does the MAX4581CUE+T handle power-supply sequencing?
The MAX4581CUE+T recommends sequencing VCC first, then VEE, followed by logic inputs and analog signals. Improper sequencing may cause latch-up or excessive leakage. If sequencing cannot be guaranteed, external blocking diodes (as shown in Figure 1 of the datasheet) can be added - though this reduces usable analog range by ~0.7V per rail.
Is the MAX4581CUE+T pin-compatible with legacy 4051-family devices?
Yes. The MAX4581CUE+T is pin-compatible with the industry-standard CD4051, 74HC4051, and MAX4051 in TSSOP-16 packaging. Its pinout follows the original RCA CD4051 nomenclature (X0–X7, X, A/B/C, ENABLE, VCC, VEE, GND), ensuring drop-in replacement in existing layouts.
What is the thermal performance of the MAX4581CUE+T in TSSOP-16 package?
The MAX4581CUE+T in TSSOP-16 has a thermal resistance θJA of 9.4mW/°C above +70°C, yielding a maximum continuous power dissipation of 755mW at +70°C ambient. Derating is linear beyond that point, and junction temperature must remain below +150°C under all operating conditions.
