Product details
Overview
MAX4617CUE from Analog Devices is an 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer operating from a single +2V to +5.5V supply, delivering 10Ω max on-resistance at +5V, 15ns turn-on time, and rail-to-rail signal handling. It serves as a high-speed signal routing device in low-voltage data-acquisition systems and battery-powered audio/video equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4617CUE datasheet, MAX4617CUE pinout, MAX4617CUE application, or MAX4617CUE equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, TSSOP-16 package details, switching timing behavior, leakage performance across temperature, and validated alternative parts for design continuity.
Technical Context
The MAX4617CUE implements a single 8:1 analog multiplexer with three address inputs (A, B, C), an active-low ENABLE, and one common output (X). Its BiCMOS process enables fast switching while maintaining low on-resistance flatness (1Ω) and guaranteed 1nA off-leakage at +25°C.
All digital inputs meet TTL/CMOS thresholds (0.8V–2.4V at VCC = +5V), and analog terminals support rail-to-rail operation with internal ESD diodes clamping signals beyond VCC or GND. The device exhibits -93dB off-isolation and -96dB crosstalk at 100kHz in 50Ω systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2V to +5.5V single supply - supports direct integration into 3.3V and 5V logic domains without level shifters. |
| On-Resistance (max) | 10Ω at +5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision analog paths. |
| Turn-On Time (tON) | 15ns typical at +5V - enables high-speed channel selection in real-time signal routing applications. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and sample-and-hold circuits. |
| Off-Isolation | -93dB at 100kHz - suppresses unwanted coupling between inactive channels in multi-signal systems. |
| Crosstalk | -96dB at 100kHz - maintains signal integrity when adjacent channels carry independent analog signals. |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | <0.017% at 600Ω load - suitable for audio-grade signal switching without audible degradation. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4617CUE is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (RoHS-compliant, +0°C to +70°C operating range), with 0.65mm pitch and exposed pad not internally connected. Pin 7 is N.C., and all analog I/O pins are bidirectional.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 12–15 | X0–X7 analog inputs | Eight independent analog input terminals selectable via A/B/C address lines. |
| 3 | X analog output | Common output node; bidirectional signal path shared by all eight channels. |
| 6 | ENABLE (active-low) | Global enable/disable control; logic high forces all switches open regardless of address state. |
| 7 | N.C. | No internal connection - must remain unconnected on PCB. |
| 8 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference for both switch core and logic interface. |
| 9–11 | A, B, C address inputs | 3-bit binary select lines determining which Xn input connects to X output. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply for analog switch array and digital control circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin compatibility | Fully pin-compatible with industry-standard 74HC4051 and MAX4581 - enables drop-in replacement in existing layouts. |
| On-resistance matching | ≤1Ω max difference between any two channels at +5V - critical for gain-matched multi-channel instrumentation. |
| Rail-to-rail analog range | 0V to VCC - supports full-scale signal switching without clipping in single-supply systems. |
| Low charge injection | 3pC - minimizes voltage glitch on sampled nodes in data-acquisition front-ends. |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | 0.8V–2.4V input thresholds at +5V - eliminates need for external logic-level translation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4581ESE+ | Same 8:1 architecture, but specified only down to +3V supply; 12Ω RON max at +5V vs. 10Ω for MAX4617CUE. | Limited to 3V–5.5V operation; less suitable for 2.5V or battery-depleted 2.7V systems. | Select MAX4581ESE+ only if supply is guaranteed ≥3V and on-resistance tolerance >10Ω is acceptable. |
| 74HC4051D | Industry-standard 8:1 mux; higher 80Ω RON at +5V, slower 60ns tON, and no guaranteed leakage spec below 100nA. | Not suitable for precision, low-leakage, or high-speed applications requiring sub-20ns switching. | Choose 74HC4051D only for cost-sensitive, non-critical signal routing where speed and leakage are secondary. |
Compared with MAX4581ESE+ and 74HC4051D, the MAX4617CUE delivers superior on-resistance, faster switching, lower leakage, and guaranteed 2V minimum supply operation-making it optimal for precision, low-voltage, and battery-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for the MAX4617CUE?
The MAX4617CUE operates continuously from +2V to +5.5V. At +2V, on-resistance increases significantly (up to ~100Ω), but functionality is maintained. For guaranteed 10Ω max on-resistance, use +5V supply; for 20Ω max, +3V is sufficient. The device remains functional down to ~2V, though not fully characterized below that point.
Does the MAX4617CUE support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, the MAX4617CUE supports fully bidirectional analog signal routing. Pin 3 (X) serves as the common terminal, and pins 1, 2, 4, 5, 12–15 (X0–X7) function interchangeably as inputs or outputs. This allows flexible implementation in both multiplexer and demultiplexer configurations without signal direction constraints.
What is the purpose of the N.C. pin (Pin 7) on the MAX4617CUE?
Pin 7 on the MAX4617CUE is a no-connect terminal with no internal connection. It must be left unconnected on the PCB layout. Routing traces or applying solder to this pin may cause mechanical stress or unintended coupling, so best practice is to omit copper and avoid placement of vias or components near it.
How does the ENABLE pin function on the MAX4617CUE?
The ENABLE pin (Pin 6) is active-low. When pulled high (≥2.4V at +5V supply), all internal switches open regardless of address inputs A/B/C. When held low (≤0.8V), channel selection proceeds normally per the truth table. This allows global signal gating without altering address logic states.
Is the MAX4617CUE pin-compatible with the 74HC4051?
Yes, the MAX4617CUE is fully pin-compatible with the 74HC4051 in TSSOP-16 packaging. Both share identical pin assignments for VCC, GND, X0–X7, X, A, B, C, and ENABLE/N.C. Functionally, they operate identically in single-supply mode, though the MAX4617CUE offers superior specs including lower RON, faster switching, and guaranteed leakage performance.
