Maxim Integrated MAX397CPI Precision, 16-Channel/Dual 8-Channel, Low-Voltage, CMOS Analog Multiplexers/Switches

The MAX397CPI from Maxim Integrated is a versatile and highly precise analog multiplexer that offers exceptional performance for a wide range of applications. This component is designed to function as either a 16-channel single-ended analog multiplexer or as a dual 8-channel multiplexer, providing flexibility for designers to integrate it into various circuit configurations.

Built with CMOS technology, the MAX397CPI ensures low power consumption and high-speed operation, making it an ideal choice for battery-powered and portable devices. It operates with a single supply voltage ranging from +4.5V to +30V or a dual supply from ±4.5V to ±20V, which allows it to be used in systems with various power requirements.

The MAX397CPI features low charge injection, low power consumption, and an ESD tolerance of 2000V, which contributes to its robustness and reliability in harsh environments. It also boasts low cross-talk and off-leakage current, ensuring that signals are switched with high integrity and minimal interference, which is crucial for precision applications.

This multiplexer is also equipped with break-before-make switching action, which prevents momentary shorting when switching channels. This feature is particularly important in preventing damage to sensitive components and maintaining signal integrity during the switching process.

The MAX397CPI comes in a 28-pin plastic DIP package, which is suitable for a variety of PCB layouts. Its pin configuration is thoughtfully designed to facilitate ease of integration into existing designs or for use in new projects.

Applications for the MAX397CPI are diverse and include data acquisition systems, communication systems, and avionics. Its precision and reliability make it an excellent choice for engineers and designers looking for a high-quality analog multiplexer that can handle multiple signal paths without compromising performance.

With Maxim Integrated's reputation for producing high-performance integrated circuits, the MAX397CPI is a product that designers can trust for their most demanding analog multiplexing needs.
