The MAX311MJE from Maxim Integrated is a high-performance, precision analog multiplexer that is designed to provide superior data acquisition capabilities in a wide range of applications. This device is a single-ended 8-channel multiplexer, which means it can select one of eight inputs to pass to the output. It is particularly well-suited for situations where low on-resistance and low channel-to-channel crosstalk are critical.

Key Features

• Low On-Resistance: The MAX311MJE boasts a low on-resistance of typically 100 ohms, which ensures minimal signal attenuation and preserves signal integrity.
• Low Crosstalk: With excellent isolation between channels, this multiplexer minimizes crosstalk, making it ideal for precision data acquisition systems.
• Single-Supply Operation: The device can operate from a single +5V to +30V supply or from dual supplies of ±4.5V to ±20V, providing flexibility in various system designs.
• Break-Before-Make Switching: This feature prevents momentary shorting of adjacent channels during switching, which is crucial for protecting sensitive circuitry and ensuring accurate measurements.
• ESD Protection: The MAX311MJE includes electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuitry, safeguarding the device from static damage during handling and operation.
