Product details
Overview
MAX4617CPE from Analog Devices is an 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer configured as a single-pole, eight-throw (SP8T) switch with rail-to-rail signal handling, 15ns enable turn-on time, 10ns turn-off time, and guaranteed 10Ω max on-resistance at +5V supply - used in low-voltage audio routing and battery-powered data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4617CPE datasheet, MAX4617CPE pinout, MAX4617CPE application, or MAX4617CPE equivalent, this page delivers verified switching performance, TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds, off-isolation of –93dB, crosstalk below –96dB, and precise on-resistance matching across channels - all critical for high-fidelity analog signal path selection.
Technical Context
The MAX4617CPE implements a single 8:1 analog multiplexer using BiCMOS process technology, with address decoding via three digital inputs (A, B, C) and an active-low ENABLE control. Its internal switch architecture supports bidirectional signal flow and operates over a +2V to +5.5V single supply.
All analog terminals tolerate voltages from GND to VCC, with ESD protection diodes clamping signals beyond those rails. Logic thresholds scale with VCC: at +5V, VIH = 2.4V and VIL = 0.8V; at +3V, VIH = 2.0V and VIL = 0.5V - ensuring robust interface compatibility across voltage domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Configuration | 8-channel SP8T analog multiplexer (X0–X7 to common X) |
| Supply Voltage Range | +2V to +5.5V single supply - enables direct integration into 3.3V and 5V systems without level shifting |
| On-Resistance (max) | 10Ω at +5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision sensor or audio paths |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance measurement circuits (e.g., pH sensors, thermocouples) |
| Switching Speed | tON = 15ns, tOFF = 10ns - supports fast channel scanning in real-time data acquisition up to ~30MHz effective rate |
| Off-Isolation / Crosstalk | –93dB off-isolation, –96dB crosstalk at 100kHz - maintains signal integrity in multi-channel AFEs and video routing |
| Analog Signal Range | Rail-to-rail (0V to VCC) - accommodates full-scale signals without clipping in unipolar systems |
Pinout & Package
MAX4617CPE uses a 16-pin plastic DIP package (P16+1), through-hole mountable with 0.3-inch width and standard 0.1-inch pin pitch. Pin 1 is bottom-left corner when notch faces up; pin 16 is top-right.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | X0 | Analog input channel 0 - selected when A=0, B=0, C=0 and ENABLE low |
| 2 | X1 | Analog input channel 1 - selected when A=1, B=0, C=0 and ENABLE low |
| 3 | X2 | Analog input channel 2 - selected when A=0, B=1, C=0 and ENABLE low |
| 4 | X3 | Analog input channel 3 - selected when A=1, B=1, C=0 and ENABLE low |
| 5 | X4 | Analog input channel 4 - selected when A=0, B=0, C=1 and ENABLE low |
| 6 | X5 | Analog input channel 5 - selected when A=1, B=0, C=1 and ENABLE low |
| 7 | X6 | Analog input channel 6 - selected when A=0, B=1, C=1 and ENABLE low |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference for analog and digital circuitry - must be low-impedance return path |
| 9 | C | Digital address bit C - MSB of 3-bit channel select (active-high, TTL/CMOS compatible) |
| 10 | B | Digital address bit B - middle bit of 3-bit channel select |
| 11 | A | Digital address bit A - LSB of 3-bit channel select |
| 12 | X7 | Analog input channel 7 - selected when A=1, B=1, C=1 and ENABLE low |
| 13 | X | Common analog output terminal - bidirectional signal path shared by all 8 channels |
| 14 | ENABLE | Active-low enable - drives all switches open when high; required for channel selection control |
| 15 | N.C. | No internal connection - must remain unconnected or tied to GND/VCC only if PCB layout requires mechanical stability |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply for analog and digital sections - powers internal logic and switch drivers; decoupling capacitor mandatory |

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 on-resistance (80Ω typ at +4.5V), slower switching (tON ≈ 60ns), no guaranteed RON match | Suitable for general-purpose digital logic interfacing but not precision analog measurement | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs analog performance requirements and layout reuse is critical |
| MAX4581CPE+ | Same pinout and function, but higher on-resistance (35Ω max at +5V) and higher leakage (5nA typ) | Acceptable in non-critical signal paths where lower bandwidth and relaxed accuracy are acceptable | Prefer MAX4617CPE when <10Ω RON, <1nA leakage, or <15ns tON are design-critical |
Compared with 74HC4051N and MAX4581CPE+, the MAX4617CPE delivers superior analog fidelity through tighter on-resistance matching, lower leakage, and faster switching - making it the preferred choice for battery-operated instrumentation and high-fidelity audio routing where signal integrity is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for MAX4617CPE?
The MAX4617CPE supports a single-supply range of +2V to +5.5V. Absolute maximum rating is +6V on VCC relative to GND. Operation above +5.5V risks permanent damage, and analog signal voltage must stay within –0.3V to (VCC + 0.3V) to avoid forward-biasing internal ESD diodes. The MAX4617CPE is rated for continuous operation up to +5.5V with full specification compliance.
Does MAX4617CPE support bidirectional analog signal flow?
Yes, the MAX4617CPE supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow - its X0–X7 inputs and common X terminal are electrically identical and interchangeable. Signals pass with equal performance in either direction, enabling flexible use in both source-selection and load-switching configurations without polarity constraints. This behavior is explicitly confirmed in the Applications Information section of the datasheet.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance match between channels for MAX4617CPE?
The MAX4617CPE guarantees ≤1Ω on-resistance match (ΔRON) between any two channels when operated at +5V supply and TA = +25°C. This specification ensures consistent gain and minimal channel-to-channel error in ratiometric sensing, calibration routines, or multi-input averaging applications - a key differentiator versus generic analog switches.
Can MAX4617CPE be used with a +3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX4617CPE is fully specified for +3.3V operation: logic thresholds adjust to VIH = 2.0V and VIL = 0.5V, on-resistance is guaranteed ≤20Ω max, and switching times remain within 20ns tON / 15ns tOFF. All electrical characteristics - including leakage, distortion, and isolation - are validated across the +2V to +5.5V range, making the MAX4617CPE ideal for mixed-voltage 3.3V system designs.
Is MAX4617CPE pin-compatible with the 74HC4051?
Yes, the MAX4617CPE is explicitly pin-compatible with the industry-standard 74HC4051 in 16-pin DIP packaging. Pin functions - including X0–X7, X (common), A/B/C address lines, ENABLE, VCC, and GND - align identically. This allows direct substitution without PCB modification, though designers should verify timing and analog performance margins due to the MAX4617CPE's superior specs.
