Maxim Integrated's MAX4051ACEE Analog Multiplexer

The MAX4051ACEE from Maxim Integrated is a high-performance, single-ended, 8-channel analog multiplexer that operates from a single supply ranging from +4.5V to +30V or from dual supplies of ±4.5V to ±20V. This versatile component is designed to provide precision signal routing in a variety of applications, including data acquisition systems, test equipment, communication devices, and medical equipment.

Featuring low on-resistance (100Ω max) and low cross-talk (-80dB min), the MAX4051ACEE ensures signal integrity, making it suitable for handling audio, video, and other high-frequency signals. The on-resistance is matched between switches to within 4Ω max and is flat (5Ω max) over the specified signal range, providing excellent performance for both analog and digital signals.

This multiplexer also boasts a fast transition time (t_TRANS = 250ns max), which enables quick switching between channels, thus enhancing the overall system responsiveness. Its ESD protection exceeds 2000V per Method 3015.7, ensuring robustness and longevity in harsh electrical environments.

The MAX4051ACEE is available in a 16-pin QSOP package, which offers a compact footprint for space-constrained applications. Additionally, this device features a digital logic interface that is compatible with TTL and CMOS levels, providing ease of control and integration into existing systems.

Maxim Integrated has designed the MAX4051ACEE with break-before-make switching action, which prevents momentary shorting when switching between channels. This is particularly important in avoiding signal disruptions and potential damage to sensitive components downstream.

With its combination of high performance, robust protection features, and compact packaging, the MAX4051ACEE analog multiplexer is an ideal choice for designers looking for a reliable and efficient solution to manage multiple analog signals in their electronic designs.
