The MAX4518CEE+ is a precision, monolithic, dual 4-channel analog multiplexer/demultiplexer manufactured by Maxim Integrated. This high-performance device is designed to operate in a wide range of applications, from communication systems to data acquisition and industrial controls.
Engineered with advanced silicon-gate CMOS technology, the MAX4518CEE+ offers low on-resistance (100 ohms max), which minimizes signal distortion and ensures excellent signal integrity. Its on-resistance is matched between switches to 4 ohms max and is flat (5 ohms max) over the specified signal range, providing consistent performance and minimal signal attenuation.
The device operates from a single +4.5V to +30V supply or from dual supplies of ±4.5V to ±20V, giving designers flexibility in various power environments. With a low leakage current (100pA at +25°C), this multiplexer/demultiplexer ensures high accuracy and low power consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered and portable applications.
The MAX4518CEE+ can handle rail-to-rail analog signals, and it also allows digital inputs that span the entire power-supply range, enhancing compatibility with other logic levels. This feature simplifies the interface with microprocessors/microcontrollers, which is crucial for modern digital systems.
Another highlight of this device is its ESD protection, which exceeds 2000V per Method 3015.7, ensuring robustness and reliability in harsh environments. The MAX4518CEE+'s pin configuration is offered in a 16-pin QSOP package, which is compact and suitable for space-constrained applications.
Maxim Integrated's commitment to high-quality and reliability is evident in the MAX4518CEE+, making it an excellent choice for designers who require a high-performance analog multiplexer/demultiplexer with minimal signal degradation and maximum precision.
