Maxim Integrated MAX4528CPA+ Analog Multiplexer

The Maxim Integrated MAX4528CPA+ is a high-performance, single-ended, 8-channel analog multiplexer that offers a compact and efficient solution for routing multiple analog signals to a single output. This versatile component is ideal for use in a variety of applications, including data acquisition systems, test equipment, and signal routing applications where space and power consumption are of concern.

Constructed with Maxim's proprietary silicon-gate CMOS technology, the MAX4528CPA+ boasts low power consumption and high-speed operation. It operates with a single positive supply voltage ranging from +4.5V to +30V or a dual supply voltage of ±4.5V to ±20V, which allows for flexible integration into various system designs. The device also features a low on-resistance of 100 ohms (max) at +25°C, which minimizes signal distortion and ensures high signal integrity.

One of the key advantages of the MAX4528CPA+ is its ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection, which exceeds 2000V per Method 3015.7. This feature ensures robust performance and longevity of the device in environments where ESD events are likely to occur. Additionally, the multiplexer provides break-before-make switching action, which prevents momentary shorting of adjacent channels during switching, thereby protecting sensitive downstream components and preventing signal crosstalk.

The MAX4528CPA+ is available in a compact 16-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package), which is suitable for through-hole mounting, making it easy to install on a variety of PCB (Printed Circuit Board) layouts. The device is also characterized for operation from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance across a wide range of temperatures.

For designers looking for a reliable and efficient way to manage multiple analog signals, the Maxim Integrated MAX4528CPA+ offers a blend of performance, durability, and ease of use. Its low power consumption, high ESD protection, and excellent signal handling capabilities make it an excellent choice for a broad spectrum of applications.
