Maxim Integrated MAX336CAI+T Analog Multiplexers
The MAX336CAI+T is a high-performance, CMOS analog multiplexer from Maxim Integrated that offers precision signal routing for your electronic designs. It is a part of the MAX336 series, which is known for its low on-resistance and low charge injection, making it suitable for a variety of applications including data acquisition systems, communication systems, and process controls.
This analog multiplexer features a 16-channel single-ended configuration or an 8-channel differential configuration, providing flexibility for signal management in complex circuits. Its single-ended mode allows for 16 different inputs to be connected to a single output, while the differential mode allows for 8 pairs of inputs to be routed to a single output. This versatility makes the MAX336CAI+T an excellent choice for designers looking to reduce PCB space without sacrificing performance.
The device operates with a single supply voltage ranging from +4.5V to +30V or a dual supply from ±4.5V to ±20V, accommodating a wide range of applications. The MAX336CAI+T also boasts low power consumption, with a quiescent current of only 4μA, which is ideal for battery-powered and portable devices.
Furthermore, the MAX336CAI+T features a low charge injection of less than 10pC and low on-resistance of less than 100 ohms, ensuring signal integrity is maintained throughout the switching process. The on-resistance is matched between channels to within 4 ohms and remains flat over the specified signal range, providing consistent performance across all channels.
For ease of use, the MAX336CAI+T includes an inhibit input to simultaneously open all signal paths. The device is also TTL/CMOS logic compatible, allowing it to easily interface with a wide range of control logic. Packaged in a 28-pin SSOP, the MAX336CAI+T is designed for surface-mount technology, providing a compact solution for space-constrained applications.
Whether you are designing a precision data acquisition system or a robust industrial control, the MAX336CAI+T from Maxim Integrated offers the reliability and flexibility needed to handle complex analog signal routing with ease.
