Maxim Integrated MAX351ESE Precision Analog Multiplexer

The MAX351ESE from Maxim Integrated is a high-performance, single-ended, 8-channel analog multiplexer designed to provide precision signal routing in complex electronic systems. It is an ideal solution for applications that require the ability to select multiple analog signals and route them to a single output, such as data acquisition systems, test equipment, and process control applications.

This analog multiplexer is characterized by its low on-resistance and low charge injection, which ensures minimal signal distortion and high accuracy when switching between channels. The MAX351ESE operates with a single supply voltage ranging from +10V to +30V or a dual supply from ±4.5V to ±20V, making it versatile for various operating environments.

The device features a robust ESD protection system, safeguarding it against electrostatic discharges and enhancing its reliability in sensitive applications. The MAX351ESE also exhibits a low leakage current, contributing to its precision performance by minimizing the potential for signal corruption.

With its 16-pin narrow SO package, the MAX351ESE is designed for space-saving on PCBs, allowing for a more compact system design. It is also fully specified for operation over the extended industrial temperature range, from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring consistent performance in challenging conditions.

Key features of the MAX351ESE include:

• 8-to-1 single-ended analog input multiplexer
• Low on-resistance: 100Ω (max)
• Low charge injection: 10pC (max)
• Single or dual supply operation
