Product details
Overview
The MAX4617ESE from Analog Devices is an 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer configured as a single-pole, eight-throw (SP8T) switch with TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs, 10Ω max on-resistance at +5V supply, 15ns enable turn-on time, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling capability - used in low-voltage audio routing and battery-powered data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4617ESE datasheet, MAX4617ESE pinout, MAX4617ESE application, or MAX4617ESE equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to 16-pin narrow SO, truth-table–validated switching behavior, and direct alternatives for SP8T analog mux replacement in space-constrained industrial and portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4617ESE implements a single 8:1 analog multiplexer using BiCMOS process technology, supporting unidirectional or bidirectional signal flow across all channels. Its address decoding logic (A/B/C inputs) selects one of eight analog inputs (X0–X7) to connect to the common output X, while ENABLE controls global conduction state.
It operates from a single +2V to +5.5V supply, with guaranteed 0.8V–2.4V logic thresholds at +5V and scalable thresholds down to 0.5V/2.0V at +3.3V. Internal ESD diodes clamp analog pins to VCC/GND, enabling rail-to-rail operation but requiring proper supply sequencing to avoid forward conduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2V to +5.5V single supply - supports Li-ion battery (3.0–3.7V), USB-powered (5V), and low-power embedded rails without level-shifting. |
| On-Resistance (max) | 10Ω at +5V, 20Ω at +3V - ensures minimal voltage drop and gain error in precision sensor or audio signal paths. |
| Switching Speed | tON = 15ns, tOFF = 10ns (VCC = +5V) - enables high-throughput multiplexing in fast-sampling ADC front-ends up to ~30 MSPS effective rate. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA at TA = +25°C, 10nA at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance pH, thermocouple, or photodiode interfaces. |
| Analog Signal Range | 0V to VCC - allows full-scale signal transmission without clipping when referenced to same supply as VCC. |
| Logic Compatibility | 0.8V–2.4V input thresholds at +5V - interoperates directly with 5V TTL, CMOS, and microcontroller GPIO without external buffers. |
| Channel Matching | 1Ω max RON match between channels - critical for ratiometric measurements and multi-channel calibration schemes. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4617ESE is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package, 7.5mm × 4.4mm body, 1.27mm pitch, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | X0 | Analog input channel 0 - bidirectional, rail-to-rail capable, connects to X when A=B=C=0 and ENABLE=L. |
| 2 | X1 | Analog input channel 1 - identical electrical characteristics to X0; selected when A=1, B=C=0. |
| 3 | X2 | Analog input channel 2 - part of 8-channel set; selected by binary address A=0,B=1,C=0 per truth table. |
| 4 | X3 | Analog input channel 3 - shares same on-resistance flatness and charge injection spec as all Xn pins. |
| 5 | X4 | Analog input channel 4 - enables expansion beyond 4-channel limits of legacy 74HC4051 without redesign. |
| 6 | X5 | Analog input channel 5 - supports daisy-chained or parallel mux architectures in modular test equipment. |
| 7 | X6 | Analog input channel 6 - maintains <0.017% THD at 600Ω load, suitable for line-level audio routing. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference for analog and digital sections - must be low-impedance; separates leakage paths from VCC. |
| 9 | C | MSB address input - controls bit-2 selection; logic high enables X4–X7 group when A/B also asserted. |
| 10 | B | Address input - bit-1; combined with A/C determines exact channel (X0–X7) per Table 1. |
| 11 | A | LSB address input - bit-0; toggling A alone switches between adjacent pairs (e.g., X0↔X1). |
| 12 | ENABLE | Active-low global enable - drives all switches open (high-Z) when logic high; tied to GND for always-on operation. |
| 13 | X | Common analog output - bidirectional node; carries selected Xn signal or drives Xn when reverse biased. |
| 14 | N.C. | No internal connection - left floating; no routing or grounding required on PCB. |
| 15 | X7 | Analog input channel 7 - highest-addressed channel; selected only when A=B=C=1 and ENABLE=L. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply - powers internal CMOS switches and logic; also sets analog voltage ceiling (0V to VCC). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin compatibility with 74HC4051 | Identical pinout and logic diagram to industry-standard 8-channel mux - enables drop-in replacement without layout change. |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports signals from 0V to VCC without distortion or clipping - eliminates need for dual-supply biasing in portable systems. |
| Low crosstalk (−96dB) | Minimizes interference between active and inactive channels at 100kHz - essential for simultaneous multi-signal monitoring. |
| High off-isolation (−93dB) | Prevents signal bleed-through when channel is off - preserves integrity in sensitive measurement front-ends like medical EEG. |
| Guaranteed on-resistance match | ≤1Ω variation across all 8 channels at +5V - enables accurate channel-to-channel calibration in automated test equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-channel analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617CSE+T | Same pinout and function, but rated for 0°C to +70°C only - lacks extended temperature qualification. | Suitable for commercial-grade equipment where ambient does not exceed +70°C; not qualified for automotive or outdoor industrial use. | Select MAX4617CSE+T only if operating temperature stays within 0°C–70°C and cost sensitivity outweighs reliability margin. |
| ADG1408BRUZ | 8-channel mux with 4.7Ω on-resistance (lower), but requires dual ±15V or single +30V supply - incompatible with low-voltage battery operation. | Targeted at high-precision lab instrumentation, not portable or low-power systems; higher supply demand increases system complexity. | Choose ADG1408BRUZ only when ultra-low RON and high-voltage swing are mandatory, and power architecture supports ≥±15V rails. |
Compared with MAX4617CSE+T and ADG1408BRUZ, the MAX4617ESE uniquely balances extended temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), single +2V to +5.5V operation, and pin compatibility with legacy 74HC4051 layouts - making it optimal for ruggedized portable and industrial designs where supply headroom and thermal margin are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MAX4617ESE?
The MAX4617ESE is specified 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 control, automotive cabin modules, and outdoor portable instrumentation where ambient conditions exceed commercial-grade limits. The device maintains guaranteed on-resistance, leakage, and switching timing specs across this full range.
Does the MAX4617ESE support bidirectional analog signal flow?
Yes, the MAX4617ESE supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow - any pin (X0–X7 or X) may serve as input or output. This is explicitly stated in the Applications Information section: "Input and output pins are identical and interchangeable. Any may be considered an input or output; signals pass equally well in both directions." No internal polarity constraints exist.
Is the MAX4617ESE pin-compatible with the 74HC4051?
Yes, the MAX4617ESE is pin-compatible with the industry-standard 74HC4051 8-channel analog multiplexer. The datasheet confirms identical pin designations, logic diagrams, and physical layout - enabling direct replacement in existing designs without PCB modification. Functionally, both operate as SP8T switches with address inputs A/B/C and ENABLE.
What is the typical on-resistance flatness of the MAX4617ESE at +5V supply?
The typical on-resistance flatness (RFLAT(ON)) of the MAX4617ESE is 1Ω at VCC = +5V, defined as the difference between maximum and minimum on-resistance measured over the full analog signal range (0V to VCC). This tight flatness ensures consistent gain and minimal harmonic distortion across the entire signal swing - critical for audio and precision measurement applications.
Can the MAX4617ESE operate from a +3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX4617ESE operates reliably from a +3.3V supply. At VCC = +3.3V, it guarantees ≤20Ω on-resistance, 0.5V/2.0V logic thresholds, and 20ns/15ns tON/tOFF timing. Its +2V to +5.5V single-supply range makes it ideal for modern low-voltage systems powered by 3.3V LDOs or partially discharged Li-ion batteries.
