Product details
Overview
The MAX4617CPE+ from Analog Devices is an 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer configured for single-supply operation from +2V to +5.5V, delivering rail-to-rail signal handling, 10Ω max on-resistance at +5V, 15ns turn-on time, and <0.017% THD in 600Ω audio paths - deployed in battery-powered instrumentation and low-voltage data-acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4617CPE+ datasheet, MAX4617CPE+ pinout, MAX4617CPE+ application, or MAX4617CPE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, DIP-16 package mapping, functional truth table alignment, and validated alternatives for signal routing in space-constrained, low-power systems.
Technical Context
The MAX4617CPE+ implements a single 8:1 analog multiplexer with TTL/CMOS-compatible digital control (A/B/C address lines + ENABLE), operating across +2V–+5.5V with guaranteed logic thresholds (0.8V/2.4V at +5V). Its BiCMOS process enables fast switching (tON = 15ns, tOFF = 10ns) and ultra-low leakage (1nA off-leakage at +25°C).
All analog terminals support rail-to-rail voltage swing (0V to VCC), with internal ESD diodes clamping signals beyond supply rails. The device exhibits 1Ω max on-resistance match between channels and −96dB crosstalk at 100kHz - critical for multi-channel precision signal selection without inter-channel interference.
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 - supports Li-ion battery (3.0–3.7V) and 5V logic domains without level shifters |
| On-Resistance (RON) | ≤10Ω at +5V - ensures minimal insertion loss and gain error in 50Ω/600Ω signal paths |
| Switching Speed | tON = 15ns, tOFF = 10ns - enables high-speed channel scanning up to ~30MHz effective rate |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces (e.g., thermocouples, pH electrodes) |
| Analog Bandwidth | −3dB point >50MHz in 50Ω system - suitable for video and broadband test equipment signal routing |
| THD | <0.017% at 1VP-P, 20Hz–20kHz into 600Ω - meets CD-quality audio routing requirements |
Pinout & Package
MAX4617CPE+ uses a 16-pin plastic DIP (dual in-line package) with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is top-left corner when notch faces upward; pin numbering follows standard DIP convention (counter-clockwise).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | X0 | Analog input channel 0 - selected when A=0, B=0, C=0 and ENABLE=L |
| 2 | X1 | Analog input channel 1 - selected when A=1, B=0, C=0 and ENABLE=L |
| 3 | X2 | Analog input channel 2 - selected when A=0, B=1, C=0 and ENABLE=L |

| 7 | X6 | Analog input channel 6 - selected when A=0, B=1, C=1 and ENABLE=L |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference for analog and digital circuitry - must be low-impedance return path |
| 9 | C | MSB address input - controls selection of X4–X7 group when ENABLE=L |
| 10 | B | Middle address bit - combines with A/C to decode one of eight channels |
| 11 | A | LSB address input - determines odd/even channel within pair (e.g., X0/X1) |
| 12 | ENABLE | Active-low enable - drives all switches open (high-Z) when logic high |
| 13 | N.C. | No internal connection - left unconnected per datasheet; no routing required |
| 14 | X7 | Analog input channel 7 - selected when A=1, B=1, C=1 and ENABLE=L |
| 15 | X | Common analog output terminal - bidirectional signal path shared by all channels |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply - powers internal CMOS switches and logic; sets analog signal range (0V to VCC) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin compatibility | Fully pin-compatible with industry-standard 74HC4051 and MAX4581 - enables drop-in replacement without PCB redesign |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC4051N | Higher RON (80Ω typical at +4.5V), slower switching (tON/tOFF ≈ 75ns), no guaranteed leakage spec | Acceptable for non-critical DC/low-frequency routing; unsuitable for audio or precision sensor muxing | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs performance; verify layout for higher capacitance-induced crosstalk |
| MAX4581CPE+ | Identical pinout and function; lower RON flatness (±0.5Ω vs ±1Ω), same 15ns/10ns timing, RoHS-compliant | Direct functional replacement with tighter on-resistance consistency - preferred for metrology-grade designs | Choose for improved channel-to-channel matching where gain error budget is <0.1%; identical DIP-16 footprint |
Compared with 74HC4051N, MAX4617CPE+ delivers 8× lower on-resistance and 5× faster switching for high-fidelity signal routing; versus MAX4581CPE+, it trades marginally higher RON variation for broader supply range (+2V min) and enhanced thermal stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX4617CPE+?
The MAX4617CPE+ supports rail-to-rail analog signals from 0V to VCC. With VCC = +5.5V, the full range is 0V to +5.5V; at +2.5V supply, it operates from 0V to +2.5V. Internal ESD diodes clamp voltages exceeding these limits, but sustained overvoltage may cause damage.
Can the MAX4617CPE+ operate from a 3.3V supply, and what performance changes occur?
Yes, the MAX4617CPE+ operates from +3.3V with guaranteed parameters: RON ≤20Ω, tON ≤20ns, and off-leakage ≤10nA at +85°C. Logic thresholds adjust to 0.5V/2.0V, maintaining compatibility with 3.3V microcontrollers without level shifters.
Is the MAX4617CPE+ pin-compatible with the 74HC4051, and are there any layout considerations?
Yes, the MAX4617CPE+ is fully pin-compatible with the 74HC4051 in DIP-16 packaging. Layout requires no changes, but note that MAX4617CPE+ offers lower capacitance (27pF output off-capacitance vs. ~40pF for HC4051), improving high-frequency isolation and reducing crosstalk in dense PCBs.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance match between channels of the MAX4617CPE+?
The MAX4617CPE+ guarantees ≤1Ω on-resistance match (ΔRON) between any two channels when operated at +5V and +25°C. This tight matching minimizes gain error in ratiometric measurements and ensures consistent signal attenuation across all eight channels.
Does the MAX4617CPE+ require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its digital control pins?
No. The MAX4617CPE+ has TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs with defined thresholds (0.8V low, 2.4V high at +5V) and input leakage <1µA. Direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs is sufficient; external resistors are unnecessary unless noise immunity in high-EMI environments is required.
