Maxim Integrated MAX4704ETC+T Analog Multiplexer

The Maxim Integrated MAX4704ETC+T is a highly efficient, low-voltage, single 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer that is designed to operate with a single supply voltage ranging from +1.8V to +5.5V. This versatile component is well-suited for a variety of applications, including signal routing in communication systems, data acquisition systems, and medical equipment, where low power consumption and space-saving are critical.

With its compact 12-pin TQFN-EP package, the MAX4704ETC+T offers a minimal footprint on the circuit board, making it an ideal choice for portable and space-constrained applications. The device also features an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance under varying environmental conditions.

The MAX4704ETC+T boasts a low on-resistance of 100 ohms (max) matched between channels to within 4 ohms and flat (0.4 ohms max) over the specified signal range. This ensures excellent linearity and low signal distortion, making it suitable for precision analog signal handling. The on-resistance is also matched between switches to within 2.5 ohms (max), which simplifies the design of differential signal paths and contributes to maintaining signal integrity.

Furthermore, the device features fast switching speeds (tON = 175ns and tOFF = 145ns) and a low charge injection (10pC), which minimizes the impact on the signal and allows for rapid signal routing with minimal disturbance. Its low power consumption, with a supply current of only 0.25µA (max), makes the MAX4704ETC+T an energy-efficient choice for battery-powered devices.

For added flexibility, the MAX4704ETC+T includes break-before-make switching action, which prevents momentary shorting when switching channels. Additionally, the multiplexer is TTL/CMOS logic compatible, allowing it to interface easily with a wide range of control logic without requiring additional level-shifting components.

In summary, the Maxim Integrated MAX4704ETC+T is a high-performance, low-voltage analog multiplexer that offers an optimal combination of low on-resistance, fast switching, and minimal power consumption, all packed in a small package suitable for various electronic applications.
