Product details
Overview
MAX4618ESE+T 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, rail-to-rail signal handling, and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds - enabling precise audio/video routing in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4618ESE+T datasheet, MAX4618ESE+T pinout, MAX4618ESE+T application, or MAX4618ESE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance matching (≤1Ω), low off-leakage (1nA at +25°C), high off-isolation (–93dB), and pin compatibility with 74HC4052 and MAX4582 for drop-in upgrades in signal-path designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4618ESE+T integrates two independent 4-channel analog multiplexers sharing common address lines (A, B) and a global ENABLE input. Each multiplexer routes one of four bidirectional analog inputs (X0–X3 or Y0–Y3) to its respective output (X or Y) under digital control.
Its BiCMOS process ensures fast switching (tON/tOFF ≤15ns/10ns), low charge injection (3pC), and minimal crosstalk (–96dB) across 100kHz–50MHz bandwidths. All analog terminals support rail-to-rail signals, and internal ESD diodes clamp overvoltage transients without compromising leakage performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2V to +5.5V single supply - supports direct integration into 3.3V and 5V systems without level shifters. |
| On-Resistance (max) | 10Ω at +5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor or audio paths. |
| On-Resistance Match | ≤1Ω between channels at +5V - critical for matched-gain applications like differential signal routing or calibration circuits. |
| Switching Speed | tON = 15ns, tOFF = 10ns - enables high-throughput data acquisition and real-time video switching. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends and battery-monitoring circuits. |
| Off-Isolation | –93dB at 100kHz - suppresses channel-to-channel interference in multi-signal routing applications. |
| Crosstalk | –96dB at 100kHz - maintains signal integrity when adjacent channels carry dissimilar frequencies or amplitudes. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4618ESE+T is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package with standard 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, and tape-and-reel ready (T suffix).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | X0 | Analog input channel 0 for first multiplexer - bidirectional, rail-to-rail capable. |
| 2 | X1 | Analog input channel 1 for first multiplexer - interchangeable with X0–X3 as source or sink. |
| 3 | X2 | Analog input channel 2 for first multiplexer - shares common output X with X0–X3. |
| 4 | X3 | Analog input channel 3 for first multiplexer - selected via address A/B under ENABLE = low. |
| 5 | Y0 | Analog input channel 0 for second multiplexer - independent signal path from X-side channels. |
| 6 | Y1 | Analog input channel 1 for second multiplexer - routed to Y output when A/B match truth table. |
| 7 | Y2 | Analog input channel 2 for second multiplexer - supports simultaneous dual-mux operation. |
| 8 | Y3 | Analog input channel 3 for second multiplexer - isolated from X-side by layout and internal structure. |
| 9 | A | LSB address input - controls channel selection for both multiplexers with shared decoding logic. |
| 10 | B | MSB address input - together with A, selects one of four channels per mux (00–11 binary). |
| 11 | ENABLE | Active-low global enable - pulls all switches open when high, enabling power-gating in standby mode. |
| 12 | X | Common output for first multiplexer - connects to selected X0–X3 channel when ENABLE = low. |
| 13 | Y | Common output for second multiplexer - independent of X output, supporting dual-path routing. |
| 14 | N.C. | No internal connection - must be left floating or grounded per PCB design rules; no electrical function. |
| 15 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - shared return for supply, logic, and signal paths; requires low-impedance plane. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply pin - powers internal CMOS switches and logic; must be decoupled locally with 0.1µF ceramic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin compatibility | Direct replacement for 74HC4052 and MAX4582 - eliminates PCB redesign in legacy analog routing systems. |
| Rail-to-rail analog range | Supports signals from GND to VCC - enables full-scale operation in single-supply data loggers and portable audio gear. |
| Guaranteed on-resistance match | ≤1Ω between channels at +5V - ensures consistent gain and phase response across multiplexed sensor channels. |
| Low charge injection | 3pC - minimizes voltage glitch and settling error in sample-and-hold or ADC front-end applications. |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | 0.8V/2.4V thresholds at +5V - simplifies interface with microcontrollers and FPGAs without external level translation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4582ESE+ | Same pinout and function; higher on-resistance (25Ω max at +5V) and slower switching (tON = 25ns). | Suitable for lower-speed, cost-sensitive industrial monitoring where RON tolerance >20Ω is acceptable. | Choose MAX4582ESE+ only if budget constraints outweigh need for <15ns switching or <10Ω RON. |
| 74HC4052D,653 | Industry-standard pinout; wider supply range (+2V to +10V) but higher on-resistance (120Ω at +4.5V) and no guaranteed RON match. | Applicable in general-purpose logic-controlled routing where precision matching and low leakage are non-critical. | Select 74HC4052D,653 for broad compatibility and extended voltage headroom, not for precision analog paths. |
Compared with MAX4582ESE+ and 74HC4052D,653, the MAX4618ESE+T delivers superior analog fidelity (lower RON, tighter matching, lower leakage) and faster switching - making it optimal for high-accuracy, high-speed signal routing where measurement integrity is prioritized over raw cost reduction.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX4618ESE+T?
The MAX4618ESE+T is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation, as indicated by the "E" grade in the part number. This extended industrial temperature range ensures reliable performance in automotive cabin modules, outdoor instrumentation, and industrial PLC I/O modules where ambient conditions vary widely. The device maintains specified on-resistance, leakage, and switching timing across this full range.
Does MAX4618ESE+T support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, MAX4618ESE+T supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow - any pin labeled X0–X3, Y0–Y3, X, or Y can serve as input or output. This is inherent to its CMOS transmission-gate architecture and explicitly confirmed in the datasheet's Applications Information section. Signal integrity remains symmetric regardless of direction, enabling flexible PCB layout and reuse in transmit/receive paths.
Can MAX4618ESE+T operate from a +3.3V supply?
Yes, MAX4618ESE+T operates reliably from +3.3V, with guaranteed on-resistance ≤20Ω, tON ≤20ns, and logic thresholds of 0.5V (low) and 2.0V (high). Its +2V to +5.5V single-supply range makes it ideal for modern 3.3V systems, eliminating level shifters while maintaining low leakage (1nA at +25°C) and high off-isolation (–93dB).
How does the ENABLE pin function on MAX4618ESE+T?
The ENABLE pin on MAX4618ESE+T is active-low: when pulled high (≥2.4V at +5V supply), all internal switches open regardless of address inputs; when low (≤0.8V), channel selection proceeds normally via A/B inputs. This allows global signal path disable for power gating, fault isolation, or system-level safety shutdown without altering address logic states.
Is MAX4618ESE+T pin-compatible with 74HC4052?
Yes, MAX4618ESE+T is pin-compatible with 74HC4052 in the same 16-pin narrow SO package. Pin assignments for X0–X3, Y0–Y3, X, Y, A, B, ENABLE, VCC, GND, and N.C. match exactly. However, MAX4618ESE+T offers significantly lower on-resistance (10Ω vs. 120Ω), faster switching, and guaranteed channel matching - enabling direct upgrade without layout changes.
