Product details
Overview
MAX4618CEE from Analog Devices is a high-speed, low-voltage CMOS dual 4-channel analog multiplexer configured for bidirectional signal routing in single-supply systems. It operates from +2V to +5.5V, delivers 15ns turn-on time, 10ns turn-off time, and guarantees ≤10Ω on-resistance at +5V supply - enabling precision audio/video switching and low-voltage data-acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4618CEE datasheet, MAX4618CEE pinout, MAX4618CEE application, or MAX4618CEE equivalent, this device supports TTL/CMOS-compatible digital control, rail-to-rail analog signal handling, low crosstalk (–96dB), high off-isolation (–93dB), and guaranteed on-resistance matching (≤1Ω) - critical for channel-matched instrumentation and battery-powered signal path selection.
Technical Context
The MAX4618CEE implements two independent 4-channel analog multiplexers sharing common address lines (A, B) and a global ENABLE input. Each 4:1 section routes one of four bidirectional analog inputs (X0–X3 or Y0–Y3) to its respective output (X or Y) under 3-bit binary address control.
All switches use BiCMOS process technology to achieve fast switching with low charge injection (3pC), low leakage (1nA at +25°C), and flat on-resistance over signal range - ensuring minimal gain error and THD <0.017% into 600Ω loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | +2V to +5.5V single supply - enables direct interface with Li-ion battery, 3.3V logic, and 5V legacy systems without level shifting. |
| tON/tOFF | 15ns/10ns at VCC = +5V - supports >20MHz analog signal switching with minimal transient distortion in ATE and comm circuits. |
| RON (max) | 10Ω at +5V, 20Ω at +3V - ensures ≤0.5% gain error in 1kΩ sensor interfaces and preserves SNR in audio paths. |
| ΔRON | ≤1Ω between channels at +5V - maintains amplitude matching across multiplexed sensor or ADC input channels. |
| Off-Leakage | 1nA at +25°C, 10nA at +85°C - prevents DC offset drift in high-impedance pH or thermocouple front-ends. |
| Crosstalk / Off-Isolation | –96dB / –93dB at 100kHz - suppresses inter-channel interference in multi-signal routing like video matrix or audio mixer ICs. |
| THD | <0.017% at 1VP-P, 20Hz–20kHz into 600Ω - meets fidelity requirements for professional audio line-level switching. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4618CEE is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package with 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, RoHS-compliant lead finish.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | X0 | Analog input channel 0 for X-side 4:1 mux - bidirectional, rail-to-rail capable. |
| 2 | X1 | Analog input channel 1 for X-side 4:1 mux - electrically identical to X0, matched RON. |
| 3 | X2 | Analog input channel 2 for X-side 4:1 mux - shares same enable and address control as X0–X3. |
| 4 | X3 | Analog input channel 3 for X-side 4:1 mux - completes X-side 4-channel selection set. |
| 5 | Y0 | Analog input channel 0 for Y-side 4:1 mux - independent signal path, separate from X-side. |
| 6 | Y1 | Analog input channel 1 for Y-side 4:1 mux - enables dual parallel multiplexing without cross-talk coupling. |
| 7 | Y2 | Analog input channel 2 for Y-side 4:1 mux - supports simultaneous routing of two independent analog buses. |
| 8 | Y3 | Analog input channel 3 for Y-side 4:1 mux - completes Y-side 4-channel selection set. |
| 9 | A | LSB address input for both X and Y muxes - controls bit-0 of 2-bit binary channel select (0–3). |
| 10 | B | MSB address input for both X and Y muxes - controls bit-1 of 2-bit binary channel select (0–3). |
| 11 | ENABLE | Active-high global enable - drives all switches open when high; required low for normal operation. |
| 12 | X | X-side common output - connects selected X0–X3 to this terminal; bidirectional and rail-to-rail. |
| 13 | Y | Y-side common output - connects selected Y0–Y3 to this terminal; independent of X-side path. |
| 14 | N.C. | No internal connection - must be left unconnected or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
| 15 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - shared return for supply, logic, and signal paths; requires low-impedance plane. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply input - powers internal CMOS switches and logic; accepts +2V to +5.5V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin compatibility | Fully pin-compatible with industry-standard 74HC4052 and MAX4582 - allows drop-in replacement without PCB redesign. |
| On-resistance match | Guaranteed ≤1Ω max difference between any two channels at +5V - ensures consistent gain scaling across multiplexed sensor inputs. |
| Low charge injection | 3pC typical - minimizes voltage glitch on high-Z nodes (e.g., sample-hold capacitors), reducing settling error. |
| TTL/CMOS logic thresholds | 0.8V to 2.4V at +5V supply - eliminates need for external level shifters when interfacing with FPGA or microcontroller GPIO. |
| Rail-to-rail analog range | 0V to VCC continuous - supports full-scale signal routing from ground-referenced sensors to DAC outputs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC4052D,653 | Slower switching (tON/tOFF ≈ 70ns), higher RON (120Ω @ +4.5V), no guaranteed ΔRON spec. | Suitable for non-critical DC/low-frequency multiplexing only; not recommended for audio or precision acquisition. | Select MAX4618CEE where speed, low RON, or channel matching is required; 74HC4052D where cost is primary and performance margins are wide. |
| MAX4582ESA+ | Same pinout and function, but rated only for 0°C to +70°C (vs. MAX4618CEE's –40°C to +85°C industrial temp range). | Limited to commercial-temperature applications; lacks extended thermal validation for automotive or industrial deployment. | Choose MAX4618CEE for designs requiring full industrial temperature operation; MAX4582ESA+ only if ambient stays within 0°C–70°C and qualification testing is waived. |
Compared with 74HC4052D and MAX4582ESA+, the MAX4618CEE provides superior speed, lower on-resistance, guaranteed channel matching, and extended temperature support - making it the preferred choice for precision, high-speed, or harsh-environment analog routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for MAX4618CEE?
The MAX4618CEE is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This industrial temperature grade is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the datasheet. The 'E' suffix in MAX4618CEE denotes the extended temperature range, distinguishing it from 'C'-grade variants limited to 0°C to +70°C. All electrical characteristics - including on-resistance, leakage, and switching times - are guaranteed across this full range.
Does MAX4618CEE support rail-to-rail analog signal operation?
Yes, MAX4618CEE supports rail-to-rail analog signal operation from 0V to VCC. This is explicitly stated in the Electrical Characteristics tables under "Analog-Signal Range" for both +5V and +3.3V supplies. The internal BiCMOS architecture enables full-swing conduction without signal clipping, making it suitable for interfacing with op-amps, DACs, and sensors operating at supply rails.
Is MAX4618CEE pin-compatible with 74HC4052?
Yes, MAX4618CEE is fully pin-compatible with the industry-standard 74HC4052 in the 16-pin narrow SO package. The Pin Description table and Applications Information section confirm identical pin nomenclature, logic diagram, and physical layout. This allows direct substitution without PCB modification - though designers must verify timing, leakage, and RON meet system requirements, as MAX4618CEE outperforms 74HC4052 in all three parameters.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance matching between channels for MAX4618CEE?
The MAX4618CEE 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. This parameter is tested and guaranteed - not just typical - and applies across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) with a max of 1.2Ω. This tight matching ensures consistent gain and minimal channel-to-channel error in precision measurement systems.
Can MAX4618CEE operate from a +2.5V supply?
Yes, MAX4618CEE is fully functional at +2.5V supply, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics section titled "Single +2.5V Supply". At this voltage, on-resistance increases to 30Ω–60Ω (typ/max), and switching times extend to ~12ns. While +2V is listed as the absolute minimum, reliable operation with guaranteed specs begins at +2.5V - making it viable for ultra-low-power applications powered by single-cell LiFePO₄ or regulated 2.5V rails.
