Maxim Integrated MAX4586EUB+T Analog Multiplexer

The MAX4586EUB+T from Maxim Integrated is a high-performance, low-voltage, CMOS analog multiplexer that comes in an ultra-small µMAX-10 package. It's designed to operate with a single supply voltage ranging from +1.8V to +5.5V, making it an ideal choice for battery-powered and portable applications where space and power efficiency are critical.

This versatile component features a dual 4:1 multiplexer configuration, which allows users to select one of four inputs to pass to the output. Each multiplexer has its own control inputs for independent operation, and the MAX4586EUB+T also boasts a low on-resistance of less than 100 ohms, which is matched between channels to within 4 ohms and remains flat over the specified signal range. This ensures excellent linearity and low distortion, making it suitable for precision analog signal routing.

The MAX4586EUB+T is characterized by its low power consumption, with a quiescent current of just 0.1µA, further extending the battery life of portable devices. It also features fast switching speeds with transition times typically less than 250ns, allowing for rapid signal routing without significant delays.

Beyond its electrical performance, the MAX4586EUB+T includes additional features such as break-before-make switching action, which prevents momentary shorting when switching between channels. It also has an ESD protection of up to 2000V, which safeguards the device against unexpected electrostatic discharges during handling or operation.

Applications for the MAX4586EUB+T are diverse and include signal routing in portable instruments, low-voltage data acquisition systems, battery-operated equipment, and audio and video signal routing. Its compact form factor and high level of integration make it a practical choice for designers looking to reduce PCB space and enhance system reliability.

Overall, the Maxim Integrated MAX4586EUB+T represents a reliable and efficient solution for designers who require a high-quality analog multiplexer that combines space-saving packaging with high performance and low-power operation.
