8:1 analog multiplexer for precision signal routing
Supply flexibility covers single-rail systems from 4.5 V to 36 V and split-supply designs using ±4.5 V to ±18 V. The industrial temperature grade is -40°C to 85°C.
On-resistance and channel matching — what they mean for the signal path
The 350 Ohm max on-resistance is the worst-case figure across temperature and supply voltage. Channel-to-channel matching is 7 Ohm. Off-leakage current is rated at 500 pA maximum. Channel capacitance measures 1.6 pF on the source side and 11 pF on the drain side.
Switching speed and charge injection
Turn-on time is 250 ns max, turn-off 200 ns max. That throughput supports scanning rates above 1 MHz in multiplexed data-acquisition systems — fast enough for vibration monitoring or multi-channel servo feedback. The 80 pC charge injection is the amount of charge transferred to the output when the switch opens or closes. In a sample-and-hold front-end, that charge creates a voltage step across the hold capacitor; sizing the capacitor large enough to keep the step within one LSB of the ADC is the standard mitigation.
Package and supply compatibility
The 16-SOIC wide-body package (0.295-inch body width, 7.50 mm) is a common footprint shared across many Analog Devices multiplexers and switches. The MAX354EWE+T variant ships on Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT), both suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. The ROHS3 compliance mark confirms no restricted substances above threshold limits — relevant for EU RoHS and similar regional directives.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The MAX354EWE+T carries an Active lifecycle status — no end-of-life notice, no last-time-buy window. No second-source alternate is listed on the official cross-reference, so the MAX354EWE+T is the primary fit for designs specifying this 8:1 mux in the 16-SOIC wide-body package.
