The MAX4066/MAX4066A quad, SPST, CMOS analog switches are designed to provide superior performance over the industry-standard devices. These new switches feature guaranteed operation from +2.0V to +16V and are fully specified at 3V, 5V, and 12V. Both parts offer 45Ω on-resistance and 2Ω channel-to-channel matching at 12V, plus 4Ω flatness over the specified signal range.Each device is controlled by TTL/CMOS input levels and can be used as a bilateral switch or multiplexer/demultiplexer.Low off leakage current (100pA for the MAX4066A) and low power consumption (0.5µW) make the MAX4066/ MAX4066A ideal for battery-operated equipment. These parts are also suitable for low-distortion audio applications. Both devices are available in 14-pin DIP and SO packages, as well as a 16-pin QSOP. ESD protection is greater than 2000V per Method 3015.7.ApplicationsAudio/Video Signal RoutingBattery-Powered ApplicationsCommunication SystemsLow-Voltage Data AcquisitionSample-and-Hold Circuits
