_______________Detailed Description
The MAX4598 can be configured as a single 8-channel
or dual 4-channel multiplexer. In the single 8-to-1 multi-
plexer configuration, COMA connects to one of the
eight inputs (NO1 to NO8), GND, or V+ by the address
inputs A0 to A2 (see
Truth Table
). In the dual 4-to-1
multiplexer configuration, COMA connects to one of the
four inputs (NO1, NO3, NO5, NO7), GND, or V+, and
COMB connects to one of the four inputs (NO2, NO4,
NO6, NO8) or GND by the address inputs A0 to A2
(see
Truth Table
).
The MAX4598 functions as a standard multiplexer
when NLATCH is high. When NLATCH is low, the con-
dition set by A0 to A3 is activated at the rising edge of
LATCH. Otherwise, the outputs remain at the previously
set condition.
__________Applications Information
The MAX4598 construction is typical of most CMOS
analog switches. It has three supply pins: V+, V-, and
GND. The positive and negative power supplies are
used to drive the internal CMOS switches and set the
limits of the analog voltage on any switch. Reverse
ESD-protection diodes are internally connected be-
tween each analog signal pin and V+ and V-. If the volt-
age on any pin exceeds V+ or V- by 0.3V, one of the
ESD diodes starts to conduct. During normal operation
these reverse-biased ESD diodes leak, forming the only
current drawn from V-.

Virtually all the analog leakage current is through the
ESD diodes. Although the ESD diodes on a given sig-
nal pin are identical, and therefore fairly well balanced,
they are reverse-biased differently. Each is biased by
either V+ or V- and the analog signal. This means their
leakage varies as the signal varies. The difference in
the two diodes’ leakage from the signal path to the V+
and V- pins constitutes the analog signal-path leakage
current. All analog leakage current flows to the supply
terminals, not to the other switch terminal. This explains
how both sides of a given switch can show leakage
currents of either the same or opposite polarity.
There is no connection between the analog signal
paths and GND. The analog signal paths consist of an
N-channel and a P-channel MOSFET, with their sources
and drains paralleled and their gates driven out of
phase with V+ and V- by the logic-level translators.
V+ and GND power the internal logic and logic-level
translators, and set the input logic thresholds. The
logic-level translators convert the logic levels to
switched V+ and V- signals to drive the analog switch
gates. This drive signal is the only connection between
the logic supplies and the analog supplies. All pins
have ESD protection to V+ and to V-.
Increasing V- has no effect on the logic-level thresh-
olds, but it does increase the drive to the P-channel
switches, reducing their on-resistance. V- also sets the
negative limit of the analog signal voltage.
The logic-level thresholds are CMOS- and TTL-compat-
ible when V+ is +5V. As V+ is raised, the threshold
increases slightly; when V+ reaches +12V, the level
threshold is about 3.2V, which is above the TTL output
high-level minimum of 2.4V but still compatible with
CMOS outputs.
Bipolar-Supply Operation
The MAX4598 operates with bipolar supplies between
±2.7V and ±6V. The V+ and V- supplies need not be
symmetrical, but their sum cannot exceed the absolute
maximum rating of 13V. Do not connect the MAX4598
V+ pin to +3V and connect the logic-level input pins
to TTL logic-level signals. TTL logic-level outputs
can exceed the absolute maximum ratings, causing
damage to the part and/or external circuits.
Caution: The absolute maximum V+ to V- differential
voltage is 13V. Typical “±6 Volt” or “12 Volt” sup-
plies with ±10% tolerances can be as high as 13.2V
from V+ to V-. This voltage can damage the
MAX4598. Even ±5% tolerance supplies may have
overshoot or noise spikes that exceed 13V.
Single-Supply Operation
The MAX4598 operates from a single supply between
+2.7V and +12V when V- is connected to GND. All of
the bipolar precautions must be observed. However,
these parts are optimized for ±5V operation, and most
AC and DC characteristics are degraded significantly
when departing from ±5V. As the overall supply voltage
(V+ to V-) is lowered, switching speed, on-resistance,
off-isolation, and distortion are degraded (see
Typical
Operating Characteristics
).
Single-supply operation also limits signal levels and
interferes with grounded signals. When V- = 0, AC sig-
nals are limited to -0.3V. Voltages below -0.3V can be
clipped by the internal ESD-protection diodes, and the
parts can be damaged if excessive current flows.
Power Off
When power to the MAX4598 is off (i.e., V+ = V- = 0),
the Absolute Maximum Ratings still apply: neither logic-
level inputs on NO_ nor signals on COM_ can exceed
±0.3V. Voltages beyond ±0.3V cause the internal ESD-
protection diodes to conduct, and the parts can be
damaged if excessive current flows.
