Product details
Overview
MAX4617CEE from Analog Devices is an 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer configured for single-supply operation from +2V to +5.5V, supporting rail-to-rail signal switching with 10Ω max on-resistance at +5V, 15ns turn-on time, and 1nA off-leakage at +25°C - used in low-voltage data-acquisition systems requiring fast, low-distortion signal routing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4617CEE datasheet, MAX4617CEE pinout, MAX4617CEE application, or MAX4617CEE equivalent, this device serves as a high-speed, low-leakage, TTL/CMOS-compatible analog mux for battery-powered instrumentation, audio routing, and precision sensor interfaces where channel matching and crosstalk suppression (<–96dB) are critical.
Technical Context
The MAX4617CEE implements a single 8:1 analog multiplexer using BiCMOS process technology, with digital address inputs (A, B, C) and an active-low ENABLE controlling channel selection. Its internal switch architecture supports bidirectional signal flow and guarantees monotonic on-resistance flatness (≤1Ω) over 0V to VCC analog input range.
All logic inputs feature TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (0.8V/2.4V at +5V supply), and analog terminals include ESD protection diodes to VCC and GND. The device operates without dual supplies and maintains guaranteed performance across 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Configuration | 8-channel single-pole, eight-throw (8:1) analog multiplexer |
| Supply Range | +2V to +5.5V single supply - enables direct integration into 3.3V and 5V systems without level shifters |
| On-Resistance | 10Ω max at +5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision measurement paths |
| Switching Speed | tON = 15ns, tOFF = 10ns - supports high-throughput sampling and fast signal reconfiguration |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends and battery-monitoring circuits |
| Crosstalk | <–96dB at 100kHz - prevents interference between adjacent channels in multi-signal routing |
| THD | <0.017% at 600Ω load - maintains fidelity in audio and instrumentation signal chains |
Pinout & Package
MAX4617CEE is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package with standard 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, and rated for 0°C to +70°C operation.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | X0 | Analog input channel 0 - selectable as output path when A/B/C = 000 |
| 2 | X1 | Analog input channel 1 - selected when A/B/C = 001 |
| 3 | X | Common analog output terminal - bidirectional, connects to selected Xn |
| 4 | X2 | Analog input channel 2 - selected when A/B/C = 010 |
| 5 | X3 | Analog input channel 3 - selected when A/B/C = 011 |
| 6 | ENABLE | Active-low enable - pulls all switches open when high; required for functional control |
| 7 | N.C. | No internal connection - must be left unconnected or grounded per layout best practice |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference for analog and digital circuitry - shared return for leakage current paths |
| 9 | C | Most-significant address bit - determines upper/lower half of 8-channel selection |
| 10 | B | Middle address bit - combines with A/C to decode one of eight channels |
| 11 | A | Least-significant address bit - completes 3-bit binary selection (CBA) |
| 12 | X4 | Analog input channel 4 - selected when A/B/C = 100 |
| 13 | X5 | Analog input channel 5 - selected when A/B/C = 101 |
| 14 | X6 | Analog input channel 6 - selected when A/B/C = 110 |
| 15 | X7 | Analog input channel 7 - selected when A/B/C = 111 |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply pin - powers internal logic and switch transistors; sets analog signal ceiling |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4617CEE?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for MAX4617CEE is +6V referenced to GND. However, the specified operational range is +2V to +5.5V. Operating above +5.5V risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage. For reliable long-term function, maintain VCC within +2V to +5.5V, with +5V being the most commonly used and fully characterized condition for parameters like RON and leakage.
Does MAX4617CEE support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, MAX4617CEE supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow. The X terminal and X0–X7 terminals are electrically symmetric - either can serve as input or output depending on system configuration. This is explicitly confirmed in the datasheet's "Applications Information" section, which states: "Input and output pins are identical and interchangeable. Any may be considered an input or output; signals pass equally well in both directions."
Is MAX4617CEE pin-compatible with the 74HC4051?
Yes, MAX4617CEE is pin-compatible with the industry-standard 74HC4051 in the 16-pin narrow SO package. The datasheet confirms this explicitly: "Pin compatible with industry-standard 74HC4051/74HC4052/74HC4053." Pin functions (X0–X7, X, A, B, C, ENABLE, GND, VCC) align directly, enabling drop-in replacement - though electrical performance (e.g., RON, speed, leakage) is significantly enhanced in MAX4617CEE.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance matching between channels for MAX4617CEE?
MAX4617CEE guarantees ≤1Ω on-resistance matching (ΔRON) between any two channels when operated at +5V supply and +25°C. This specification is tested and guaranteed - not just typical - and applies across the full analog signal range (0V to VCC). It ensures consistent gain scaling and minimal channel-dependent offset in multi-sensor measurement systems.
Can MAX4617CEE operate from a +3.3V supply?
Yes, MAX4617CEE is fully specified and guaranteed for operation from a +3.3V supply. At +3V to +3.6V, it delivers ≤20Ω max on-resistance, 1nA leakage, and 20ns max tON. Logic thresholds scale accordingly (VIL = 0.5V, VIH = 2.0V), maintaining compatibility with standard 3.3V CMOS/TTL logic families without level translation.
