MAX361ESE+

Interface - Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers as a subcategory of commonly used passive components, have seen increased usage in a variety of applications such as multiplexing of data streams, preparing circuits for testing, and isolating systems. The MAX361ESE+ is one such device tailored towards channel selection and wiring between ICs which is used in applications like microphones, mixers, audio amplifiers and electronic line detectors.

The MAX361ESE+ is a three-channel analog switch with variable pin impedance, allowing it to be used with various inputs and outputs while maintaining excellent linearity and stability. The single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switches are designed to open/close with a fast transition time without impacting the signal integrity. It\'s low voltage audio/4-wire telephone switch IC which is easily toggled for selecting the desired channel and wiring it to the I/O points.

The MAX361ESE+ is characterized with the 28-pin TSSOP package, offering a typical on-resistance of 1Ω. It can handle a supply voltage range from +5V to +18V, and an output voltage range from 0V to VS. The system offers a -4dB of power-supply rejection, enabling low power consumption for extended battery life in portable applications. Moreover, it is compatible with audio/4-wire telephone switching, offering a low RON (on resistance) of 1Ω, and a low channel-to-channel isolation of 60dB.

The MAX361ESE+ works by providing a low resistance connection between its inputs and outputs when the on pin is pulled low by applying a voltage to it. With the on pin high, all channels are remain in their off state, ensuring the channel is off and consequently the I/O points separated. To change the outputs, the voltage applied to the on pin is switch out to a different one, allowing the user to select the desired output and make the connection again. This switch is also able to sample a wide range input voltage, helping to ensure the linearity and stability of the connection.

In summary, the MAX361ESE+ is a three-channel analog switch that fits well in multiplexing applications and provides excellent linearity and stability for connecting audio/4-wire telephone systems. Its low voltage audio/4-wire telephone switching capabilities, as well as its fast transition times, make it an attractive solution for implementing reliable switching solutions. The flexibility of the MAX361ESE+ makes it suitable for applications like microphones, mixers, amplifiers, electronic line detectors and a variety of other analog switching applications.
