Product details

Package and mounting

The MAX4821EUP+T is an 8-channel low-side N-channel driver from Analog Devices, built to switch relays, solenoids, and small inductive loads. Each output sinks up to 70 mA, with a typical on-resistance of 2 Ω. The load supply runs from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. The part accepts both parallel and serial interface control, which means you can drive it from a GPIO port or daisy-chain it on a shift-register bus. That dual-interface flexibility simplifies BOM consolidation — one driver IC covers both legacy and SPI-driven controller architectures.

Industrial temperature range and package

Rated for -40°C to 85°C ambient, the MAX4821EUP+T fits factory-floor automation, outdoor telecom enclosures, and HVAC panels. It is not AEC-Q100 qualified, so keep it out of under-hood or chassis-domain automotive designs. The 20-TSSOP with exposed pad (20-TSSOP-EP) helps pull heat into the PCB copper pour — important if you are running all eight channels near the 70 mA limit in a still-air enclosure.

Lifecycle and sourcing posture

The MAX4821EUP+T carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant. There is no last-time-buy or NRND flag, so it is safe to qualify into new production.

Frequently asked questions

What is the output current per channel?

Each of the eight low-side outputs can sink up to 70 mA maximum. Typical on-resistance is 2 Ω, so voltage drop at full load is about 140 mV.

What package does the MAX4821EUP+T use?

It comes in a 20-lead TSSOP with exposed pad (20-TSSOP-EP), surface-mount. The exposed pad aids thermal dissipation into the PCB ground plane.

What interface does the MAX4821EUP+T support?

It supports both parallel and serial interface control. You can drive it directly from GPIO lines or daisy-chain it on a serial bus.
