Maxim Integrated's DG508ACWE+T Analog Multiplexer

The DG508ACWE+T from Maxim Integrated is a high-performance, single 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer that is designed to provide precision signal routing in a variety of applications. This multiplexer operates with a single supply voltage ranging from +10.8V to +16.5V or dual supply voltages from ±4.5V to ±8V, making it versatile for both industrial and consumer electronics.

The DG508ACWE+T offers low on-resistance (100Ω max) and low charge injection (10pC max), ensuring minimal signal distortion and high signal integrity. The device also features fast switching speeds (transition time of 175ns max), which allows for rapid signal routing and is particularly useful in applications that require high-speed data acquisition or processing.

With an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, the DG508ACWE+T is reliable for use in harsh environments. Its 16-pin WSOIC package is compact and surface-mountable, making it suitable for space-constrained applications. The device also includes an inhibit input to simultaneously open all signal paths and prevent any signal passing through the multiplexer.
