Product details
Overview
MAX4618ESE from Analog Devices is a high-speed, low-voltage CMOS dual 4-channel analog multiplexer operating from a single +2V to +5.5V supply. It features 15ns turn-on time, 10ns turn-off time, 10Ω max on-resistance at +5V, <0.017% THD at 600Ω, and −96dB crosstalk - enabling precise audio/video signal routing in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4618ESE datasheet, MAX4618ESE pinout, MAX4618ESE application, or MAX4618ESE equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package-validated pin functions, real-world use cases for low-voltage data acquisition, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The MAX4618ESE integrates two independent 4-channel analog multiplexers sharing common digital control (A/B/ENABLE) but with separate analog I/O banks: X0–X3/X and Y0–Y3/Y. Each channel supports rail-to-rail analog signals and exhibits guaranteed 1Ω on-resistance matching between channels under +5V supply.
Its TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds (0.8V/2.4V at +5V) and low 1nA off-leakage at +25°C enable direct interfacing with microcontrollers and FPGA I/O without level-shifting. The device uses BiCMOS process technology to achieve fast switching while maintaining low distortion and high off-isolation (−93dB).
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) and 3.3V/5V system rails without external regulators. |
| On-Resistance (max) | 10Ω at +5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor front-ends. |
| Switching Time (tON/tOFF) | 15ns / 10ns at +5V - enables multiplexing of audio-band and medium-speed data signals up to ~20MHz. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance measurement paths (e.g., pH sensors, thermocouples). |
| Crosstalk | −96dB at 100kHz - prevents audible interference between adjacent audio channels or cross-coupling in multi-sensor DAQ. |
| THD | <0.017% at 600Ω load - meets fidelity requirements for line-level analog audio routing. |
| On-Resistance Match | 1Ω max between channels at +5V - critical for matched-gain applications like programmable gain amplifiers or differential signal switching. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4618ESE is supplied in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package with 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, suitable for automated PCB assembly and space-constrained industrial modules.

| 7 | N.C. | No internal connection; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
| 8 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 9 | Y0 | Analog input channel 0 for second 4:1 mux bank (Y-side); independent of X-bank. |
| 10 | Y1 | Analog input channel 1 for Y-side mux; shares common output Y (pin 13). |
| 11 | Y2 | Analog input channel 2 for Y-side mux; supports independent signal routing parallel to X-bank. |
| 12 | Y3 | Analog input channel 3 for Y-side mux; enables simultaneous dual-path analog switching. |
| 13 | Y | Common analog output terminal for Y-side 4:1 multiplexer (channels Y0–Y3). |
| 14 | A | LSB address input for both mux banks; controls bit 0 of 2-bit channel select (00–11). |
| 15 | B | MSB address input for both mux banks; controls bit 1 of 2-bit channel select (00–11). |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply for analog switches and digital logic; must be decoupled with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4-channel analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4582ESE+ | Same pinout, identical 16-pin narrow SO package; 12ns tON, 11ns tOFF; 12Ω RON at +5V; −90dB crosstalk. | Slightly higher on-resistance and lower isolation limit its use in ultra-low-distortion audio paths. | Preferred where faster switching is prioritized over THD performance and board space is constrained. |
| 74HC4052D,653 | Industry-standard 16-pin SO; 70Ω RON at +4.5V; 200ns tON; no guaranteed RON match or THD spec. | Not suitable for precision measurement or audio due to high on-resistance and uncharacterized distortion. | Cost-sensitive industrial control applications where speed and linearity are non-critical. |
Compared with MAX4618ESE, MAX4582ESE+ offers marginally faster switching but trades off crosstalk and THD; 74HC4052D,653 provides broad availability and lower cost but lacks the precision specs required for data acquisition or audio routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for MAX4618ESE?
The MAX4618ESE is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C, as indicated by the "E" suffix in the part number. This extended temperature grade makes it suitable for industrial and automotive cabin applications where ambient conditions exceed commercial-grade limits. The device maintains specified on-resistance, leakage, and switching performance across this full range.
Does MAX4618ESE support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, MAX4618ESE supports rail-to-rail analog signal switching - its analog inputs and outputs operate from GND to VCC. This capability eliminates the need for external biasing networks in single-supply systems and ensures full dynamic range utilization in battery-powered sensor interfaces and audio circuits.
Can MAX4618ESE be used with a 3.3V supply?
Yes, MAX4618ESE operates reliably with a +3.3V supply. At this voltage, typical on-resistance is 20Ω (max), tON is 20ns, and logic thresholds adjust to 0.5V (low) and 2.0V (high), remaining compatible with standard 3.3V CMOS I/O. Performance remains fully characterized and guaranteed per datasheet specifications.
Is MAX4618ESE pin-compatible with the 74HC4052?
Yes, MAX4618ESE is pin-compatible with the industry-standard 74HC4052 in the 16-pin narrow SO package. Both share identical pin assignments for VCC, GND, ENABLE, A/B address lines, and analog I/O terminals (X0–X3/X and Y0–Y3/Y), enabling direct substitution in existing layouts without modification.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance match between channels for MAX4618ESE?
MAX4618ESE guarantees ≤1Ω maximum on-resistance difference between any two channels when operated at +5V supply and +25°C. This tight matching is critical for applications requiring ratiometric accuracy, such as programmable gain stages or differential signal switching where channel-to-channel gain consistency is essential.
