The MAX4617EUE is an analog multiplexer/demultiplexer manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is a versatile integrated circuit (IC) component designed for use in various applications requiring signal routing and switching. The device offers numerous key features that make it an excellent choice for many electronic designs.
The MAX4617EUE is a single-ended, 8-channel analog switch with low on-resistance and low leakage current. It operates from a single power supply ranging from +1.8V to +5.5V, making it compatible with a wide range of systems. The device also has a low supply current of only 0.77mA, which minimizes power consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered applications.
One of the notable features of the MAX4617EUE is its low on-resistance, which is typically around 3Ω. This low resistance ensures minimal signal attenuation and distortion, making the IC suitable for both analog and digital signals. It also enables the switch to handle both small and large current/voltage signals without significant power losses.
The MAX4617EUE possesses a break-before-make switching action, ensuring that the outputs change state cleanly and without any overlap during selection. This characteristic is crucial in preventing glitches and cross-talk between channels, especially in multiplexed signal routing applications. It can handle signal frequencies up to several megahertz, further enhancing its usability in various analog and digital signal switching scenarios
