Maxim Integrated MAX398ESE Precision, 8-Channel/Dual 4-Channel, Low-Voltage, CMOS Analog Multiplexers

The MAX398ESE from Maxim Integrated is a highly versatile and efficient precision analog multiplexer that offers robust functionality for a wide range of applications. This component integrates either eight single channels or dual four-channel multiplexers, making it an ideal solution for systems requiring multiple input signal routing to a single processing unit or output channel.

Constructed with low-voltage CMOS technology, the MAX398ESE ensures minimal power consumption, which is essential for battery-operated and power-sensitive devices. It operates from a single +2.7V to +12V supply or from dual ±2.7V to ±6V supplies, providing flexibility in various circuit designs and ensuring compatibility with both digital and analog signals.

The device features a low on-resistance of 100Ω (max) matched to within 6Ω between channels and remains flat over the specified signal range (5Ω max). This characteristic ensures signal integrity and reduces the likelihood of signal attenuation, making it suitable for precision analog signal handling. The MAX398ESE also boasts low leakage currents (nA range) and fast switching times, which contribute to its high-performance profile in demanding environments.

Designed with a 16-pin narrow SO package, the MAX398ESE is compact and space-efficient, allowing for a reduced footprint on printed circuit boards. Furthermore, its digital inputs are TTL and CMOS logic compatible, simplifying integration into digital control systems.

Typical applications for the MAX398ESE include data acquisition systems, communication systems, test equipment, and audio signal routing. Its reliability and precision make it a preferred choice for engineers and designers looking to create systems that require accurate and consistent performance over a broad range of operating conditions.

Maxim Integrated's commitment to quality ensures that the MAX398ESE meets stringent performance criteria, making it a robust and reliable component for your analog multiplexing needs.
