Product details
Overview
MAX4581EUE+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, 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 MAX4581EUE+T datasheet, MAX4581EUE+T pinout, MAX4581EUE+T application, or MAX4581EUE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance matching (≤10Ω), break-before-make timing (4–20ns), low crosstalk (<−96dB at 1MHz), high off-isolation (<−74dB), and TSSOP-16 packaging suitable for space-constrained mixed-signal routing.
Technical Context
The MAX4581EUE+T implements a single 8:1 analog multiplexer architecture with three digital address inputs (A, B, C) and an active-low ENABLE terminal. Its internal CMOS switch array uses matched P- and N-channel transistors to achieve rail-to-rail analog conduction and low distortion (<0.02% THD at 600Ω).
Logic-level translation circuitry ensures TTL/CMOS compatibility across supply voltages: input thresholds scale with VCC (e.g., 0.8V–2.4V at +5V, ~1.0V–3.1V at +12V), while ESD protection diodes clamp analog pins to VCC and VEE-requiring proper power sequencing (VCC before VEE) to avoid leakage-induced errors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | ±2V to ±6V dual or +2V to +12V single-supports direct interface with Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V systems without level shifters. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 80Ω max at ±5V-ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor multiplexing. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C-critical for maintaining accuracy in high-impedance pH or thermocouple measurement paths. |
| Channel Matching (∆RON) | ≤10Ω-enables ratiometric measurements and calibration stability across all 8 channels. |
| Break-Before-Make Time | 4–20ns-prevents momentary shorting during channel transitions in audio or video signal routing. |
| Crosstalk | <−96dB at 1MHz (50Ω)-suppresses interference between adjacent channels in multi-sensor DAQ systems. |
| Off-Isolation | <−74dB at 1MHz (50Ω)-blocks unwanted coupling from inactive channels into sensitive analog receivers. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4581EUE+T is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 5.0mm, 0.65mm pitch) with exposed pad connected to VCC per datasheet recommendation. Pin 1 is X0; pin 16 is VCC; pin 8 is GND; pin 7 is VEE; pin 15 is ENABLE; pins 10–13 and 1–2 are X1–X7; pin 3 is X; pins 11–12 are A/B; pin 9 is C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| X0–X7 | Analog input channels 0–7 | Bidirectional, rail-to-rail capable-any may serve as source or sink depending on address state. |
| X | Common analog output | Single-pole, 8-throw output node-connects to ADC input, amplifier feedback, or signal processor. |
| A, B, C | Digital address inputs | Binary-encoded selection (CBA = 000 → X0, 111 → X7); 0.8V/2.4V thresholds ensure robust noise margin. |
| ENABLE | Active-low enable control | Pulls all switches open when high-used for power gating or system-level channel disable. |
| VCC / VEE | Positive/negative supply rails | Set analog signal range limits; VEE = GND enables single-supply operation down to +2V. |
| GND | Digital ground reference | Logic supply return only-no analog signal reference; analog paths float between VCC and VEE. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog switching | Signals swing from VEE to VCC without clipping-enables full utilization of ADC input range in ±5V or +12V systems. |
| Guaranteed on-resistance match | ≤10Ω difference between any two channels-eliminates channel-dependent gain drift in calibrated multi-channel sensors. |
| Low charge injection (0.5–5pC) | Minimizes voltage glitch at output during switching-critical for sample-and-hold circuits and precision integrators. |
| TTL/CMOS-compatible logic | Thresholds auto-scale with VCC-allows direct connection to FPGA I/O banks or microcontroller GPIO without external translators. |
| −40°C to +85°C operating range | Qualified for industrial temperature environments-supports deployment in automotive cabin modules and outdoor instrumentation. |
Applications

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-channel, ±15V max supply, 4.7Ω RON at ±15V, but 120Ω at ±5V; requires separate logic supply (VL). | Higher precision in high-voltage systems; less suitable for low-voltage battery operation due to higher RON at 5V. | Select ADG1408BRUZ when driving high-impedance loads at ±15V; prefer MAX4581EUE+T for 3.3V/5V embedded DAQ. |
| TMUX1308PWR | 8-channel, +1.8V to +5.5V single supply only; 5.5Ω RON at +5V; no dual-supply capability; 1.8V logic compatible. | Optimized for ultra-low-voltage MCU interfaces; lacks bipolar supply support required for legacy industrial sensors. | Choose TMUX1308PWR for modern 1.8V/3.3V IoT nodes; retain MAX4581EUE+T where ±5V sensor interfacing or rail-to-rail swing is mandatory. |
Compared with ADG1408BRUZ and TMUX1308PWR, the MAX4581EUE+T uniquely balances low-voltage operation (+2V min), dual-supply flexibility (±2V to ±6V), and guaranteed 80Ω RON at ±5V-making it optimal for industrial and automotive DAQ where supply headroom and signal swing constraints coexist.

FAQ
What supply configurations does the MAX4581EUE+T support?
The MAX4581EUE+T supports both dual-supply (±2V to ±6V) and single-supply (+2V to +12V) operation. When using single supply, VEE must be tied to GND. The device maintains rail-to-rail analog conduction and guaranteed 80Ω on-resistance at ±5V, making it adaptable to diverse power architectures including battery-backed and industrial 5V/12V rails.
How does the MAX4581EUE+T handle logic-level compatibility across different supply voltages?
The MAX4581EUE+T features auto-scaling TTL/CMOS logic thresholds: at +5V VCC, inputs recognize 0.8V (low) and 2.4V (high); at +12V VCC, thresholds rise to ~1.0V and ~3.1V respectively. This eliminates need for external level shifters when interfacing with FPGAs or MCUs operating at varying I/O voltages, and ensures noise immunity remains consistent across its full supply range.
What is the maximum allowable analog signal range for the MAX4581EUE+T?
The MAX4581EUE+T passes analog signals from VEE to VCC without clipping. With ±5V supplies, the full range is −5V to +5V; with +5V single supply (VEE = GND), the range is 0V to +5V. Exceeding these limits forward-biases internal ESD diodes-potentially increasing leakage or damaging the device-so signal clamping or external protection is required for overvoltage scenarios.
Can the MAX4581EUE+T be used in high-frequency signal paths?
The MAX4581EUE+T maintains flat frequency response up to ~50MHz in 50Ω systems, but off-isolation degrades above 10MHz (−50dB at 10MHz, falling ~20dB/decade). For RF or high-speed digital applications, it is not recommended. However, for audio (20Hz–20kHz), video baseband, or sensor signals below 1MHz, its <0.02% THD and <−96dB crosstalk ensure clean, isolated routing.
Is the MAX4581EUE+T pin-compatible with industry-standard analog multiplexers?
Yes-the MAX4581EUE+T is pin-compatible with the CD4051, 74HC4051, and MAX4051 families. Its pinout follows the original RCA CD4051 nomenclature (X0–X7, X, A/B/C, ENABLE, VCC, VEE, GND), allowing drop-in replacement in existing designs without PCB modification, provided supply and temperature requirements align.
