Product details
Overview
The MAX4581LEEE+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer operating from a single +2V to +12V supply, featuring rail-to-rail signal handling, 80Ω max on-resistance at +12V, 4Ω channel-to-channel on-resistance match, and 2nA off-leakage at +25°C - used for precision audio/video routing and data-acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4581LEEE+ datasheet, MAX4581LEEE+ pinout, MAX4581LEEE+ application, or MAX4581LEEE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance flatness (12Ω), break-before-make timing (20ns), logic-compatible thresholds (0.8V/2.0V), low charge injection (0.5pC), and QSOP-16 package compatibility with 74HC4051/MAX4051.
Technical Context
The MAX4581LEEE+ implements a single-ended 8:1 analog multiplexer architecture with address-decoded CMOS transmission gates, driven by TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs (A/B/C/ENABLE) referenced to VCC. Its internal logic-level translators isolate digital control from analog paths while enabling rail-to-rail operation.
All eight analog inputs (X0–X7) share one common output (X), with bidirectional signal flow supported. Switching is governed by a 3-bit binary address (A, B, C) and active-low ENABLE; break-before-make timing prevents signal shorting during channel transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | +2V to +12V single supply - supports battery-powered and industrial 3.3V/5V/12V systems without level-shifting. |
| On-Resistance (max) | 80Ω at +12V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor or audio paths. |
| On-Resistance Match | 4Ω between channels - critical for multi-channel instrumentation where channel-to-channel gain consistency is required. |
| Off-Leakage Current | ±2nA at +25°C - preserves high-impedance sensor node integrity and reduces DC offset drift in µA-level circuits. |
| Logic Thresholds | VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.0V - guarantees reliable interface with 3.3V microcontrollers and legacy 5V TTL logic without external biasing. |
| Charge Injection | 0.5pC - limits voltage glitch on high-impedance sample-hold capacitors, enabling <1LSB error in 12-bit+ data acquisition. |
| Enable Turn-On Time | 200ns max - supports multiplexed ADC sampling rates up to ~2.5MHz with deterministic timing. |
| Off-Isolation | -90dB at 1MHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels in dense analog routing applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin QSOP (E16-4), 4.4mm × 3.9mm body, 1.0mm height, 0.635mm pitch. Exposed pad not present (unlike TQFN variant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 12–15 | Analog Inputs X0–X7 | Bidirectional switch terminals - accept rail-to-rail analog signals; no ground reference required. |
| 3 | Analog Output X | Common output node shared across all 8 channels; fully interchangeable as input or output. |
| 6 | Enable (active-low) | Global enable/disable - tie low for normal operation; high forces all switches open (high-Z state). |
| 7, 8 | GND | Digital ground reference only - analog signals float between VCC and GND; no analog ground connection needed. |
| 9 | Address C | MSB of 3-bit channel select (CBA); synchronous with ENABLE for glitch-free addressing. |
| 10 | Address B | Mid-bit of channel select; combined with A and C to decode X0–X7 per truth table. |
| 11 | Address A | LSB of channel select; determines odd/even channel selection when C and B are fixed. |
| 16 | VCC | Single positive supply - powers both analog switches and digital logic; requires 0.1µF bypass to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports full VCC-to-GND swing without clipping - enables direct interfacing with op-amps, sensors, and DACs. |
| Guaranteed 4Ω RON match | Ensures consistent gain scaling across channels - essential for multi-sensor calibration and differential measurements. |
| 2nA off-leakage at +25°C | Maintains accuracy in high-Z medical ECG or pH probe front-ends where leakage-induced offset dominates error budget. |
| Pin compatibility with 74HC4051/MAX4051 | Enables drop-in replacement in existing designs - no PCB rework required for performance upgrades. |
| Low 0.5pC charge injection | Minimizes settling error in sample-and-hold circuits - critical for high-resolution SAR ADC drivers. |
| Tiny QSOP-16 footprint | Reduces board area vs. SOIC-16 by ~30% - ideal for space-constrained portable test equipment and modular I/O systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4051ACPE+ | Higher 100Ω max RON, wider -40°C to +85°C temp range, same QSOP-16 pinout. | Lower bandwidth and higher distortion limit use in audio; better suited for general-purpose industrial muxing. | Select MAX4051ACPE+ when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 80Ω RON and 0.5pC charge injection. |
| ADG1408BRUZ | 40V supply capable, 4.7Ω RON, but requires dual ±15V or single +30V supply; different pinout (TSSOP-16). | Not pin-compatible; designed for high-voltage test equipment, not low-voltage portable systems. | Choose ADG1408BRUZ only when >12V analog signal swing or ultra-low RON is mandatory - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with MAX4051ACPE+, the MAX4581LEEE+ delivers tighter RON matching and lower charge injection for high-fidelity signal routing; versus ADG1408BRUZ, it trades voltage range for lower power, smaller size, and true 3.3V logic compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the MAX4581LEEE+?
The MAX4581LEEE+ has an absolute maximum supply voltage of +13V, with recommended continuous operation from +2V to +12V. Operation beyond +12.6V risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage. The device's internal ESD diodes clamp voltages above VCC or below GND, so proper sequencing (VCC first) is essential.
Does the MAX4581LEEE+ support bidirectional analog signal flow?
Yes, the MAX4581LEEE+ supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow - any pin labeled X0–X7 or X can serve as input or output. This is confirmed in the datasheet's "Detailed Description" section, which states "input and output pins are identical and interchangeable" and that signals pass equally well in both directions, making it suitable for multiplexed transceiver interfaces.
Is the MAX4581LEEE+ pin-compatible with the 74HC4051?
Yes, the MAX4581LEEE+ is explicitly pin-compatible with the industry-standard 74HC4051 in QSOP-16 packaging, as stated in the "Features" and "Pin Nomenclature" sections. Pin functions (X0–X7, X, A/B/C, ENABLE, VCC, GND) align directly - enabling drop-in replacement without layout changes, provided the supply and logic levels meet MAX4581L's +2V to +12V and 0.8V/2.0V thresholds.
What is the typical charge injection value for the MAX4581LEEE+ and why does it matter?
The MAX4581LEEE+ has a typical charge injection of 0.5pC, guaranteed by design. This parameter matters because injected charge causes voltage glitches on high-impedance nodes (e.g., sample-and-hold capacitors), leading to settling errors and reduced effective resolution in precision ADC systems - especially critical in 12-bit+ data acquisition where 0.5pC limits error to <1 LSB with 1nF hold capacitors.
Can the MAX4581LEEE+ operate from a 3.3V supply while maintaining TTL/CMOS logic compatibility?
Yes, the MAX4581LEEE+ operates from +2V to +12V and maintains logic compatibility at 3.3V: its input thresholds (VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.0V) are fixed relative to GND, not VCC, so standard 3.3V CMOS outputs (≥2.4V high, ≤0.4V low) fully satisfy VIH/VIL margins. No level-shifter is needed when driven by 3.3V microcontrollers or FPGAs.
