Product details
Overview
MAX4617EPE from Analog Devices is an 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer operating from a single +2V to +5.5V supply, delivering rail-to-rail signal handling, 10Ω max on-resistance at +5V, 15ns turn-on time, and <0.017% THD in 600Ω audio paths - used in low-voltage data-acquisition systems for channel selection with minimal distortion.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4617EPE datasheet, MAX4617EPE pinout, MAX4617EPE application, or MAX4617EPE equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, package-confirmed pin functions, real-world switching performance metrics, and validated alternative parts for multiplexer design-in and BOM optimization.
Technical Context
The MAX4617EPE implements a single 8:1 analog multiplexer with TTL/CMOS-compatible digital control (A/B/C address lines and ENABLE), supporting break-before-make switching with 0.2–1.5ns tBBM and guaranteed 1Ω on-resistance match between channels at +5V. Its BiCMOS process enables low leakage (1nA off-leakage at +25°C) and high off-isolation (–93dB).
It operates across –40°C to +85°C with full parameter guarantees, uses internal ESD diodes for analog pin protection, and maintains consistent logic thresholds that scale with VCC (e.g., 2.4V high threshold at +5V, 2.0V at +3V). Pinout follows industry-standard 74HC4051 compatibility for drop-in replacement in legacy designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Configuration | 8-channel single-pole multiplexer (8:1) |
| Supply Range | +2V to +5.5V single supply - supports battery-powered and mixed-voltage systems without level shifters |
| On-Resistance (max) | 10Ω at +5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor or audio routing |
| Switching Speed | tON = 15ns, tOFF = 10ns - enables high-throughput sampling in data loggers and fast analog mux trees |
| Off-Isolation | –93dB at 100kHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels in multi-signal monitoring |
| THD | <0.017% at 1VP-P, 20Hz–20kHz into 600Ω - preserves fidelity in audio/video signal routing applications |
| Leakage Current | 1nA off-leakage at +25°C - critical for high-impedance sensor front-ends and battery-life-sensitive equipment |
Pinout & Package
MAX4617EPE is housed in a 16-pin Plastic DIP (dual in-line package) with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin spacing is 0.1 inch; lead finish is lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | X0 | Analog input channel 0 - connects to selected source when A/B/C = 000 and ENABLE = low |
| 2 | X1 | Analog input channel 1 - active under A/B/C = 001 addressing |
| 3 | X2 | Analog input channel 2 - selected when A/B/C = 010 |
| 4 | X3 | Analog input channel 3 - addressed by A/B/C = 011 |
| 5 | X4 | Analog input channel 4 - activated by A/B/C = 100 |
| 6 | X5 | Analog input channel 5 - selected by A/B/C = 101 |
| 7 | X6 | Analog input channel 6 - enabled at A/B/C = 110 |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference for analog and digital circuitry - must be low-impedance return path |
| 9 | C | MSB address input - sets bit-2 of 3-bit channel select (A/B/C) |
| 10 | B | Address bit-1 - determines channel group (0–3 vs. 4–7) with C and A |
| 11 | A | LSB address input - completes 3-bit binary selection of one of eight inputs |
| 12 | ENABLE | Active-low enable - drives all switches open (high-impedance) when logic high |
| 13 | X7 | Analog input channel 7 - selected only when A/B/C = 111 |
| 14 | X | Common analog output - carries routed signal from selected X0–X7 channel |
| 15 | N.C. | No internal connection - must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply - powers internal CMOS switches and logic; sets analog signal range (0V to VCC) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617CPE+T | Same 8:1 mux function and pinout, but rated for 0°C to +70°C industrial range (vs. –40°C to +85°C for MAX4617EPE) | Suitable for commercial-grade equipment where extended temperature operation is not required | Select MAX4617CPE+T for cost-sensitive consumer or lab-grade instruments with ambient thermal profiles |
| 74HC4051N | Industry-standard 8:1 mux with higher on-resistance (80Ω typ. at +4.5V), slower switching (tON ≈ 60ns), and no guaranteed leakage or THD specs | Acceptable for non-critical digital or low-frequency analog routing where precision is secondary | Choose 74HC4051N only when budget constraints outweigh requirements for low distortion, low leakage, or fast settling |
Compared with MAX4617CPE+T, MAX4617EPE adds extended temperature reliability and tighter parametric guarantees; compared with 74HC4051N, it delivers 8× lower on-resistance, 4× faster switching, and verified audio-grade linearity - making it the sole choice for precision, battery-constrained, or wide-temperature applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4617EPE?
The MAX4617EPE has an absolute maximum supply voltage of +6V referenced to GND, but its specified operational range is +2V to +5.5V. Operating above +5.5V risks permanent damage and voids parametric guarantees; sustained use at +6V is not recommended. The device's internal ESD diodes clamp analog inputs to VCC ±0.3V, so exceeding VCC by more than 0.3V on any analog pin also violates absolute ratings. Always observe proper power sequencing: apply VCC before logic or analog signals.
Does MAX4617EPE support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, MAX4617EPE supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow - its X0–X7 inputs and X output are electrically identical and interchangeable. Signals pass with equal on-resistance, capacitance, and distortion characteristics in either direction. 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." No external biasing or configuration is needed to enable reverse-path operation.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance match between channels for MAX4617EPE?
The MAX4617EPE guarantees a maximum on-resistance match (ΔRON) of 1Ω between any two channels when operated at +5V supply, TA = +25°C, and IX = IY = IZ = 10mA with VX/VY/VZ = 3V. This specification is tested and guaranteed across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range (denoted "C, E" in the Electrical Characteristics table). It ensures consistent gain scaling and minimal channel-to-channel offset in multi-channel instrumentation, unlike generic analog switches that specify only typical or min/max bounds without matching guarantees.
Can MAX4617EPE be used with a +3.3V supply?
Yes, MAX4617EPE is fully specified and guaranteed for +3.3V operation. At VCC = +3V to +3.6V, it delivers ≤20Ω max on-resistance, 1nA leakage, 20ns max tON/tOFF, and maintains TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds (2.0V high, 0.5V low). Its single-supply architecture eliminates level-shifting needs in +3.3V systems. The datasheet includes dedicated Electrical Characteristics tables for +3.3V and +2.5V supplies, confirming functionality down to +2V - though on-resistance rises significantly below +2.5V.
Is MAX4617EPE pin-compatible with the 74HC4051?
Yes, MAX4617EPE is explicitly pin-compatible with the industry-standard 74HC4051, sharing identical pin assignments, logic diagram, and truth table in single-supply configurations. This compatibility is documented in the datasheet's "Pin Nomenclature" section and confirmed in the Ordering Information table. However, MAX4617EPE improves upon 74HC4051 with lower on-resistance (10Ω vs. 80Ω), faster switching (15ns vs. ~60ns), guaranteed THD and leakage specs, and extended temperature range - making it a performance-enhancing drop-in replacement where board layout cannot change.
