Product details
Overview
MAX4617ESE+ from Analog Devices is an 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer configured for single-supply operation from +2V to +5.5V, featuring 15ns turn-on time, 10Ω max on-resistance at +5V, and rail-to-rail signal handling - deployed in low-voltage data-acquisition systems and battery-powered audio routing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4617ESE+ datasheet, MAX4617ESE+ pinout, MAX4617ESE+ application, or MAX4617ESE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package-validated pin functions, real-world use-case mappings, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The MAX4617ESE+ implements a single 8:1 analog multiplexer with three address inputs (A/B/C) and an active-low ENABLE, supporting TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds that scale with supply voltage. Its BiCMOS process enables fast switching (tON = 15ns, tOFF = 10ns) while maintaining low charge injection (3pC) and high off-isolation (–93dB).
All analog channels support bidirectional signal flow with rail-to-rail voltage range (0V to VCC), guaranteed 1Ω on-resistance match between channels at +5V, and <0.017% THD into 600Ω - making it suitable for precision signal routing where channel uniformity and distortion control are critical.

| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | X0 | Analog input channel 0 - selectable as output path when A/B/C = 000 and ENABLE low |
| 2 | X1 | Analog input channel 1 - one of eight bidirectional analog terminals routed to common X pin |
| 3 | X | Common analog output terminal - connects to selected Xn channel under address control |
| 4 | X3 | Analog input channel 3 - shares same functional role as X0–X7; all inputs electrically identical |
| 5 | X4 | Analog input channel 4 - supports full rail-to-rail signal swing (0V to VCC) with no polarity restriction |
| 6 | A | LSB address input - controls binary decoding of channel selection (A=LSB, B, C=MSB) |
| 7 | B | Mid-bit address input - used with A and C to select one of eight analog paths |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference for analog and digital circuitry - must be low-impedance to minimize crosstalk and noise |
| 9 | C | MSB address input - completes 3-bit address bus enabling full 8-channel decode |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX4617ESE+?
The MAX4617ESE+ is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, as indicated by the "E" grade suffix in its part number. This extended temperature range makes it suitable for industrial and automotive-adjacent applications where ambient conditions exceed commercial-grade limits. All electrical specifications in the datasheet - including on-resistance, leakage current, and switching times - are guaranteed across this full range. The device uses a BiCMOS process optimized for thermal stability, and its narrow SO package provides adequate power dissipation up to +85°C ambient.
Is MAX4617ESE+ pin-compatible with the 74HC4051?
Yes, MAX4617ESE+ is fully pin-compatible with the industry-standard 74HC4051 in 16-pin narrow SO packaging. Pin assignments for analog inputs (X0–X7), common output (X), address lines (A/B/C), ENABLE, VCC, and GND match exactly. This allows direct substitution without PCB modification. However, MAX4617ESE+ improves upon the 74HC4051 with lower on-resistance (10Ω vs. ~80Ω), faster switching (15ns vs. ~50ns), and guaranteed channel matching - delivering measurable performance gains in precision analog designs.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage supported by MAX4617ESE+?
The MAX4617ESE+ supports rail-to-rail analog signals from 0V to VCC, meaning the maximum analog voltage equals the applied VCC supply voltage. With VCC at +5.5V, analog inputs and outputs can swing from 0V to +5.5V. Exceeding VCC or going below GND risks forward-biasing internal ESD diodes, potentially causing excessive leakage or damage. The device's absolute maximum rating for analog terminals is (VCC + 0.3V) or –0.3V, so operation strictly within 0V to VCC is required for reliable, specification-compliant performance.
Does MAX4617ESE+ support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, MAX4617ESE+ supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow - any pin labeled X0 through X7 or X may serve as either input or output. This is inherent to its CMOS transmission-gate architecture and explicitly confirmed in the datasheet's Applications Information section. Signal integrity metrics - including on-resistance, THD, and off-isolation - apply equally in both directions. This bidirectionality simplifies system design in applications like shared sensor buses or reconfigurable test equipment where signal path direction may change dynamically.
How does the ENABLE pin function on MAX4617ESE+?
The ENABLE pin on MAX4617ESE+ is active-low: when pulled high (≥2.4V at VCC = +5V), all internal switches open, presenting high-impedance isolation (>1GΩ) between X and all Xn channels. When pulled low (≤0.8V), the device responds to address inputs (A/B/C) to route the selected channel. ENABLE is TTL/CMOS-compatible and draws only 1µA max. It is commonly tied to GND for always-on operation or driven by a microcontroller GPIO for power-gated channel selection - enabling ultra-low standby current in battery-powered systems.
