Product details
Overview
The MAX4617EEE 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 1nA off-leakage at +25°C - used in low-voltage data-acquisition systems for channel selection with minimal distortion.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4617EEE datasheet, MAX4617EEE pinout, MAX4617EEE application, or MAX4617EEE equivalent, this device supports high-fidelity analog routing in battery-powered instrumentation, audio/video switching, and communications circuits where fast settling, low crosstalk (<–96dB), and guaranteed on-resistance matching (≤1Ω) are critical.
Technical Context
The MAX4617EEE implements a digitally controlled 1-of-8 analog switch using CMOS transmission-gate architecture with TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs (0.8V–2.4V thresholds at +5V). Its internal switch array is driven by three address lines (A, B, C) and a global ENABLE input, supporting break-before-make switching with <1.5ns transition interval.
All analog terminals tolerate voltages from –0.3V to (VCC + 0.3V) via integrated ESD diodes, and leakage paths are strictly between signal pins and VCC/GND - not across channels - enabling predictable biasing in unidirectional or bidirectional signal paths without channel interaction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply 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 ≤50mV drop at 5mA, preserving signal integrity in precision sensor interfaces. |
| tON/tOFF | 15ns/10ns - supports >20MHz multiplexed signal sampling with minimal timing skew. |
| Off-Leakage (25°C) | 1nA - limits voltage error to <1µV on 1MΩ source impedances, critical for high-impedance sensor front-ends. |
| Crosstalk | <–96dB at 100kHz - prevents audible artifacts in audio routing and false triggers in multi-channel DAQ. |
| THD | <0.017% at 1VP-P, 600Ω load - maintains fidelity in line-level audio and test equipment signal paths. |
| Channel Matching (ΔRON) | ≤1Ω at +5V - guarantees uniform gain scaling across all 8 channels in programmable gain amplifier designs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4617EEE is supplied in a 16-pin plastic DIP package (P16+1 outline), through-hole compatible with standard 0.3″ wide IC sockets and manual soldering workflows.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | X0 | Analog input channel 0 - bidirectional, rail-to-rail capable, electrically identical to all X1–X7 pins. |
| 2 | X1 | Analog input channel 1 - shares same on-resistance, leakage, and capacitance specs as X0. |
| 3 | X | Common analog output terminal - connects to selected Xn channel when ENABLE = low and address matches. |
| 4 | X2 | Analog input channel 2 - fully interchangeable with X0/X1; no performance differentiation across channels. |
| 5 | X3 | Analog input channel 3 - guaranteed ≤1Ω RON match to other channels at +5V. |
| 6 | ENABLE | Digital enable control - active-low; drives all switches open (high-Z) when logic high. |
| 7 | N.C. | No internal connection - must remain unconnected; floating or grounded per PCB layout best practice. |
| 8 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - common return for VCC, logic inputs, and analog signals. |
| 9 | C | MSB address input - selects upper/lower half of 8-channel set (C=0 → X0–X3; C=1 → X4–X7). |
| 10 | B | Middle address bit - combines with A/C to decode one of eight unique channel selections. |
| 11 | A | LSB address input - completes 3-bit binary address (A,B,C) for deterministic channel routing. |
| 12 | X4 | Analog input channel 4 - part of upper 4-channel group; identical electrical specs to X0–X3. |
| 13 | X5 | Analog input channel 5 - validated for ≤10nA leakage at +85°C per production test limits. |
| 14 | X6 | Analog input channel 6 - supports charge injection ≤3pC, minimizing transient errors in sample-hold stages. |
| 15 | X7 | Analog input channel 7 - final channel in 8:1 mux; same off-capacitance (27pF) and on-capacitance (32pF) as others. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply - powers internal logic and switch transistors; sets analog signal range (0V to VCC). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog operation | Supports full-swing signals from GND to VCC without clipping - essential for ±0.5V to +5V sensor outputs. |
| Guaranteed 1Ω RON match | Ensures consistent gain and offset across all 8 channels in programmable filter or calibration arrays. |
| Low 3pC charge injection | Minimizes voltage glitch on high-impedance nodes (e.g., integrator inputs), reducing need for blanking intervals. |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | Accepts 0.8V/2.4V thresholds at +5V - interoperates directly with microcontrollers and FPGAs without buffers. |
| –93dB off-isolation | Blocks unintended coupling between deselected channels at audio and IF frequencies, preventing crosstalk-induced noise. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MAX4617EEE?
The MAX4617EEE is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial and automotive-adjacent applications where ambient temperatures exceed commercial-grade limits. This extended range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the datasheet, distinguishing it from the 'C' grade (0°C to +70°C) variants like MAX4617CPE+T.
Does the MAX4617EEE support bidirectional analog signal flow?
Yes, the MAX4617EEE supports fully bidirectional analog signal routing - its X0–X7 inputs and X output are electrically symmetric with identical on-resistance, leakage, and capacitance specifications in either direction. The datasheet explicitly states "Input and output pins are identical and interchangeable. Any may be considered an input or output; signals pass equally well in both directions."
What is the guaranteed on-resistance matching between channels for the MAX4617EEE?
The MAX4617EEE guarantees ≤1Ω on-resistance matching (ΔRON) between any two channels when operated at +5V supply and +25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Switch On-Resistance Match Between Channels." This matching holds across the full analog signal range (0V to VCC) and is production-tested per Note 3.
Can the MAX4617EEE operate from a +3.3V supply, and what performance changes occur?
Yes, the MAX4617EEE operates from +3.3V (within its +2V to +5.5V range), but on-resistance increases to 20Ω max (vs. 10Ω at +5V), and switching times extend to 20ns tON/15ns tOFF. Logic thresholds adjust to 2.0V (high) and 0.5V (low), maintaining compatibility with 3.3V microcontrollers - all verified in the +3V to +3.6V Electrical Characteristics table.
Is the MAX4617EEE pin-compatible with industry-standard 74HC4051 devices?
Yes, the MAX4617EEE is pin-compatible with the 74HC4051 in 16-pin DIP, SO, and TSSOP packages, sharing identical pin functions (X0–X7, X, A/B/C, ENABLE, VCC, GND) and logic diagrams. The datasheet confirms this in the "Pin Nomenclature" section and lists it as a key feature, enabling direct substitution in existing layouts.
