MAX4617CUE

Interface - Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers

The MAX4617CUE is an analog switch, multiplexer/demultiplexer IC that operates with low on-resistance and fast switch transition times. It requires very low power, low voltage and wide operating temperature range to provide high performance in a small form factor.

The MAX4617CUE is designed primarily for applications such as signal routing and switching, buffering, and analog sample and hold. It has two independent analog switches, selectable via two control pins that also select between multiplexing/demultiplexing modes. The analog switches are bidirectional, meaning they can switch AC or DC signals in both directions. It also has a low voltage supply of 5 V for a wide range of applications.

The MAX4617CUE is constructed using an advanced CMOS technology for high performance and low power consumption. All channels have on-resistance of 7.5 ohms and an off-state leakage of less than 0.01µA, making it ideal for low-power/high-bandwidth applications. The MAX4617CUE is available in an 8-pin SOT-23 package and is capable of switching up to 1A at 10V.

The MAX4617CUE has two control pins that select the mode in which the device operates, either multiplexing/demultiplexing or switching. The multiplexer/demultiplexer mode routes one input to either one or two output channels, depending on the control input level. In switch mode, each input is routed to a corresponding output if the control input is high, or if the control input is low, the respective switch is open-circuit and the signal is blocked.

The MAX4617CUE also offers optical isolation, with 500nA minimum channel-to-channel isolation voltage, allowing switching between two isolated circuits without introducing any electrical noise on the signal lines. It also features low insertion loss with minimum 0.1dB paths, allowing low signal noise and distortion. This makes the MAX4617CUE an ideal solution for applications such as audio and video signal routing and switching, as well as control signal or power switching.

In summary, the MAX4617CUE is a low-cost, low-power, high-performance analog switch, multiplexer/demultiplexer IC. It is a very versatile IC, capable of operating in switch and multiplexer/demultiplexer modes, and also providing optical isolation for high-speed, low-noise signal routing. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including audio/video switching and signal routing, as well as control signal or power switching.
