Product details
Overview
MAX4581ETE+T from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer configured for rail-to-rail signal switching in low-voltage systems. It operates on ±2V to ±6V dual supplies or +2V to +12V single supply, features 80Ω guaranteed on-resistance (±5V), 1nA off-leakage at +25°C, and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs-enabling use in battery-powered data-acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4581ETE+T datasheet, MAX4581ETE+T pinout, MAX4581ETE+T application, or MAX4581ETE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance matching across channels, break-before-make timing (4–20 ns), low charge injection (0.5–5 pC), high off-isolation (–74 dB @ 50Ω), and TQFN-EP package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4581ETE+T implements a single 8:1 analog multiplexer using BICMOS process technology, with address decoding via three digital inputs (A, B, C) and global enable control. Its internal switch architecture supports bidirectional signal flow and rail-to-rail analog voltage handling limited only by VCC and VEE.
Logic-level translation circuitry ensures TTL/CMOS compatibility across supply voltages: input thresholds scale with VCC (e.g., 0.8V/2.4V at +5V; ~3.1V high threshold at +12V). ESD protection diodes are integrated between each analog pin and both VCC and VEE, defining leakage behavior and overvoltage clamping limits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | ±2V to ±6V dual or +2V to +12V single - enables operation in portable, automotive, and industrial rails without level-shifting. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 80Ω max at ±5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor/mux applications. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance signal paths (e.g., thermocouple, pH probe front-ends). |
| Break-Before-Make Time | 4–20 ns - prevents momentary shorting during channel switching, critical for multi-sensor sampling integrity. |
| Off-Isolation | –74 dB at 50Ω, +25°C - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels in dense analog routing. |
| Charge Injection | 0.5–5 pC - minimizes voltage glitch on sampled-hold capacitors, reducing acquisition settling time. |
| Logic Thresholds | 0.8V low / 2.4V high at +5V - ensures reliable interface with standard microcontroller GPIOs without external buffers. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4581ETE+T is housed in a 16-pin TQFN-EP (3mm × 3mm) package with exposed pad connected to VCC per datasheet recommendation. Pin 1 is X0; pin 2 is X1; pin 3 is X2; pin 4 is X3; pin 5 is X4; pin 6 is X5; pin 7 is X6; pin 8 is X7; pin 9 is A; pin 10 is B; pin 11 is C; pin 12 is ENABLE; pin 13 is VCC; pin 14 is VEE; pin 15 is GND; pin 16 is X (common output). Exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to VCC plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| X0–X7 | Analog input channels 0–7 | Bidirectional, interchangeable signal terminals - no dedicated input/output; all support rail-to-rail voltage swing. |
| X | Common analog output | Single-pole, 8-throw node - selected channel connects to X under A/B/C address control and ENABLE assertion. |
| A, B, C | Digital address inputs | 3-bit binary select (CBA = 000 to 111) - determines which Xn connects to X; logic thresholds scale with VCC. |
| ENABLE | Global enable/disable control | Active-high; when low, all switches open - used for power gating or system-wide mux disable. |
| VCC / VEE / GND | Power and reference rails | VCC and VEE set analog signal range limits; GND is digital ground reference only - analog signals float between VCC and VEE. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports full VEE-to-VCC voltage range without clipping - essential for ±5V op-amp interfaces and unipolar/bipolar sensor conditioning. |
| Guaranteed RON match between channels | ΔRON ≤ 100Ω (±5V) - ensures consistent gain and offset across multiplexed channels in calibrated measurement systems. |
| Low distortion & crosstalk | <0.02% THD (600Ω); <–96dB crosstalk (MAX4582, 50Ω) - maintains signal fidelity in audio and instrumentation-grade routing. |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | 0.8V/2.4V thresholds at +5V; scales with VCC - eliminates need for level translators when interfacing with 3.3V/5V MCUs or FPGAs. |
| Automotive-qualified variants available | MAX4581ASE+/AUE+ rated –40°C to +125°C - confirms suitability for engine control, ADAS sensor hubs, and infotainment signal routing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4051ACSE+ | Pin-compatible 8:1 mux but rated only 0°C to +70°C; RON = 100Ω (±5V); higher 5nA off-leakage at +85°C. | Suitable for commercial-grade instrumentation where extended temperature range is not required. | Select MAX4051ACSE+ only if ambient operating temperature stays below +70°C and leakage budget allows 5× increase at elevated temps. |
| ADG1408BRUZ | 8:1 mux with 4.7Ω RON (±15V), but requires ±15V supplies; no single-supply operation; larger 20-lead TSSOP package. | Targeted at high-precision lab equipment needing ultra-low on-resistance, not portable or low-voltage systems. | Choose ADG1408BRUZ only when sub-5Ω RON is mandatory and ±15V rails are available - not a drop-in replacement for MAX4581ETE+T. |
Compared with MAX4051ACSE+, MAX4581ETE+T offers wider temperature range and lower leakage; versus ADG1408BRUZ, it trades on-resistance for single/dual supply flexibility and compact TQFN packaging - making it optimal for space- and power-constrained embedded systems.

FAQ
What supply configurations does the MAX4581ETE+T support?
The MAX4581ETE+T supports dual supplies from ±2V to ±6V and single supplies from +2V to +12V (with VEE tied to GND). At ±5V, it delivers 80Ω typical on-resistance and 1nA off-leakage at +25°C. Operation below +2V is possible but degrades RON and switching speed - the MAX4581ETE+T is specified and tested across its full rated range.
How is the exposed pad on the MAX4581ETE+T package used?
The exposed pad (EP) on the MAX4581ETE+T TQFN package must be soldered to the VCC plane per Maxim's datasheet guidance. This connection improves thermal dissipation and reduces ground bounce during switching transitions. The EP is electrically connected to VCC internally - floating or grounding it violates the device's thermal and electrical specifications and may cause malfunction.
Does the MAX4581ETE+T support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, the MAX4581ETE+T supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow: any Xn pin or the X pin may serve as input or output. This is inherent to its CMOS transmission-gate architecture - signals pass equally well in either direction, with identical RON, leakage, and bandwidth characteristics regardless of directionality.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range for the MAX4581ETE+T?
The MAX4581ETE+T supports analog signals from VEE to VCC. With ±5V supplies, the range is –5V to +5V; with +5V single supply (VEE = GND), it is 0V to +5V. Signals exceeding these limits forward-bias internal ESD diodes - the absolute maximum rating is (VEE – 0.3V) to (VCC + 0.3V), beyond which permanent damage may occur.
Is the MAX4581ETE+T pin-compatible with industry-standard mux ICs?
Yes, the MAX4581ETE+T is pin-compatible with the CD4051, 74HC4051, and MAX4051 families in PDIP, SO, TSSOP, and QSOP packages. While the TQFN-EP footprint differs, the signal and power pin assignments (X0–X7, X, A/B/C, ENABLE, VCC, VEE, GND) match exactly - enabling direct substitution in existing layouts when using compatible land patterns.
