Maxim Integrated MAX4664CPE+ Analog Multiplexer

The MAX4664CPE+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-performance, single-ended, 8-channel analog multiplexer that is designed to provide precision signal routing in a variety of applications. This versatile component is ideal for use in data acquisition systems, test equipment, communication systems, and any application where multiple signals need to be selectively routed to a single destination.

Featuring a wide signal range, the MAX4664CPE+ is compatible with both single and dual power supply operations, ranging from +4.5V to +36V or ±4.5V to ±20V respectively. This flexibility allows it to be easily integrated into a multitude of circuit designs. Additionally, its low on-resistance (100 ohms max) and low charge injection (10pC max) ensure that signals are passed through with minimal distortion and high fidelity.

The MAX4664CPE+ boasts a high-speed performance with transition times (t<sub>TRANS) as fast as 250ns, making it suitable for applications that require rapid switching between channels. Its ESD protection exceeds 2000V per Method 3015.7, which provides robustness and reliability in harsh electrical environments.

Enclosed in a 16-pin DIP package, the MAX4664CPE+ is designed for easy implementation into existing designs without the need for significant board rework. Its pin configuration is thoughtfully laid out to facilitate straightforward PCB routing. The device also features break-before-make switching action, which prevents momentary shorting when switching from one channel to another, further protecting the integrity of the signals being routed.

One of the key advantages of the MAX4664CPE+ is its low power consumption, making it suitable for power-sensitive applications. The device also includes an inhibit input to simultaneously open all signal paths, providing an additional level of control for the user.

In summary, the Maxim Integrated MAX4664CPE+ is a reliable and efficient solution for designers looking to manage multiple analog signals within their electronic systems. Its combination of performance, flexibility, and ease of use makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications.
