The MAX490CPA+ is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Maxim Integrated, designed to serve as a quad SPST analog switch. It offers a compact and highly versatile solution for various applications requiring the switching of analog signals.
Key Features:
1. Quad SPST Switches: The IC consists of four independent single-pole/single-throw (SPST) switches. Each switch can control the flow of an analog signal from the common terminal (COM) to either of the two switch terminals (NO and NC).
2. Low On-Resistance: The MAX490CPA+ ensures minimal voltage drop across the switches due to its low On-resistance. This feature results in excellent signal integrity and reduces power dissipation during operation.
3. Wide Supply Voltage Range: It supports a wide supply voltage range from 4.5V to 36V, making it suitable for various applications that require different voltage levels.
4. Logic Control Inputs: The IC is equipped with logic control inputs for each of the four switches. By applying appropriate logic levels (high/low), the switches can be easily controlled, enabling simple interfacing with microcontrollers or other digital circuits.
5. Rail-to-Rail Signal Handling: The MAX490CPA+ offers rail-to-rail signal handling capabilities, allowing it to effectively switch signals that range from the lowest to the highest voltages within the supply voltage range
