Product details
Overview
MAX4581LEEE+T 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 in precision audio routing and data-acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4581LEEE+T datasheet, MAX4581LEEE+T pinout, MAX4581LEEE+T application, or MAX4581LEEE+T equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, real-world switching performance metrics (tON = 200ns, tOFF = 150ns), rail-to-rail analog range, TTL/CMOS logic compatibility at +12V, and direct substitution guidance against industry-standard 74HC4051 and MAX4051 families.
Technical Context
The MAX4581LEEE+T implements a single-ended 8:1 analog multiplexer architecture with three address lines (A/B/C) and an active-low enable input, supporting break-before-make switching to prevent signal shorting during channel transitions. Its CMOS transmission-gate design ensures bidirectional signal flow with no ground reference required for analog paths.
All digital inputs feature fixed 0.8V–2.0V logic thresholds independent of VCC, enabling guaranteed TTL/CMOS compatibility across the full +2V to +12V supply range. Internal ESD diodes clamp analog pins to VCC and GND, limiting analog leakage to ±2nA at +25°C while defining absolute maximum analog voltage as (GND − 0.3V) to (VCC + 0.3V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2V to +12V single supply - supports battery-powered and industrial 12V systems without level-shifting. |
| On-Resistance (max) | 80Ω at VCC = +12V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor interfaces. |
| On-Resistance Match | 4Ω max between channels at +25°C - 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 prevents DC offset drift in µA-level current loops. |
| Enable Turn-On/Off Time | 200ns / 150ns max - enables fast multiplexing in high-throughput data acquisition up to ~2MHz channel rate. |
| Analog Signal Range | Rail-to-rail (0V to VCC) - allows full utilization of ADC input range and eliminates need for external biasing in unipolar systems. |
| Logic Thresholds | VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V - guarantees reliable interface with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers without external translators. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4581LEEE+T uses a 16-pin QSOP package (4.4mm × 3.9mm body, 1.27mm pitch). The exposed pad is absent - unlike TQFN variants, QSOP has no thermal pad.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,2,4,5,12–15 | X0–X7 Analog Inputs | Eight bidirectional analog switch terminals; any may serve as input or output depending on signal direction. |
| 3 | X Analog Output | Common output node for all eight channels; connects to selected Xn when ENABLE = low and address matches. |
| 6 | ENABLE | Active-low digital control - drives low to activate switching; tie to GND for always-on operation. |
| 7,8 | GND | Digital ground reference only; analog signals are floating relative to GND and bounded by VCC/GND rails. |
| 9 | C Address Input | MSB of 3-bit binary channel select (CBA); determines which of eight Xn inputs connects to X output. |
| 10 | B Address Input | Mid-bit of channel select; works with A and C to decode 0–7 channel selection per truth table. |
| 11 | A Address Input | LSB of channel select; all three address pins define the active channel when ENABLE is asserted. |
| 16 | VCC | Single positive supply for both analog switches and digital logic; must be bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog operation | Supports 0V to VCC signal swing without clipping - eliminates need for level-shifting in unipolar sensor or DAC interfaces. |
| Guaranteed 4Ω RON match | Ensures ≤0.5% gain mismatch across channels - essential for multi-sensor calibration and differential measurement accuracy. |
| 2nA off-leakage at +25°C | Minimizes voltage error in high-Z circuits (e.g., pH electrodes, piezoelectric sensors) where leakage dominates offset drift. |
| Pin-compatible with 74HC4051/MAX4051 | Enables drop-in replacement in existing designs using industry-standard 16-pin SO/QSOP footprints and logic mapping. |
| TTL/CMOS logic thresholds | Fixed 0.8V/2.0V thresholds ensure robust digital interface across supply voltages - no external pull-ups or level shifters needed. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC4051D,653 | Higher on-resistance (120Ω typ at 4.5V), wider RON variation (±30Ω), no guaranteed 2nA leakage spec. | Acceptable for general-purpose switching but not precision sensor multiplexing requiring sub-nA leakage or tight RON matching. | Select MAX4581LEEE+T when leakage, matching, or rail-to-rail performance is critical; choose 74HC4051D for cost-sensitive non-precision uses. |
| MAX4051ACPE+ | Same pinout and function, but higher leakage (±20nA), higher RON (100Ω), and no guaranteed 4Ω matching. | Suitable for legacy designs where MAX4581L's enhanced specs aren't required; lacks the low-leakage guarantee for high-Z nodes. | MAX4581LEEE+T replaces MAX4051ACPE+ directly when upgrading for improved accuracy, lower distortion, or tighter matching. |
Compared with 74HC4051D and MAX4051ACPE+, the MAX4581LEEE+T delivers superior leakage control (2nA vs. ≥20nA), tighter on-resistance matching (4Ω vs. ≥30Ω), and guaranteed rail-to-rail operation - making it the preferred choice for precision, low-drift, and high-fidelity analog multiplexing.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MAX4581LEEE+T?
The MAX4581LEEE+T supports a maximum supply voltage of +12.6V, with absolute maximum ratings specifying VCC up to +13V. Operation beyond +12.6V risks exceeding guaranteed electrical specifications, though the device includes internal ESD diodes that clamp analog pins to VCC and GND. For reliable long-term performance, maintain VCC within the +2V to +12V recommended range specified in the datasheet.
Does MAX4581LEEE+T support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, the MAX4581LEEE+T supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow. Its CMOS transmission-gate architecture makes all analog pins - X0–X7 and X - electrically symmetric; any pin can serve as input or output depending on system topology. This enables flexible use in both source-selection and load-switching configurations without signal-direction constraints.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance match between channels for MAX4581LEEE+T?
The MAX4581LEEE+T guarantees a maximum on-resistance match (ΔRON) of 4Ω between any two channels at +25°C, defined as RON(MAX) − RON(MIN). This specification ensures consistent gain and minimal channel-to-channel error in applications like multi-sensor data acquisition where calibration across channels is critical.
Is MAX4581LEEE+T pin-compatible with the 74HC4051?
Yes, the MAX4581LEEE+T is explicitly pin-compatible with the industry-standard 74HC4051 in 16-pin SO and QSOP packages. Pin assignments for VCC, GND, ENABLE, address lines (A/B/C), common output (X), and analog inputs (X0–X7) match identically, enabling direct replacement without PCB layout changes.
What is the off-isolation performance of MAX4581LEEE+T?
The MAX4581LEEE+T provides guaranteed off-isolation of −90dB at 1MHz, measured between the common output (X) and any unselected input (Xn). This high isolation minimizes signal coupling from inactive channels, making it suitable for applications such as audio mixing and sensitive sensor multiplexing where crosstalk must be suppressed below audible or measurement thresholds.
