Quad SPST analog switch — what it is and where it fits
The MAX314LESE from Maxim Integrated is a quad single-pole single-throw (SPST) analog switch with rail-to-rail signal capability. Four independent SPST channels let it route or gate analog or digital signals in audio path switching, signal multiplexing, and data-acquisition front-ends. The rail-to-rail input range suits it for single-supply systems where the signal swings close to the supply rails.
Sourcing posture — how to get this part on your BOM
The RoHS non-compliance means some franchise distributors may carry limited stock of this specific suffix — independent distribution is a reliable backup for filling a BOM line quickly. If your design requires a RoHS-compliant SPST switch, ask about the lead-free suffix variant during your RFQ.
