Frequently Asked Questions
What are the voltage requirements for the MAX396/MAX397 muxes?
They support single-supply operation (+2.7V to +16V) or dual-supply operation (±2.7V to ±8V).
Are these devices compatible with other Maxim multiplexers?
Yes, they are pin compatible with MAX306/MAX307, DG406/DG407, and DG506A/DG507A.
How low is the on-resistance of the switches?
The maximum on-resistance is 100Ω, which remains flat within 6Ω between channels.
What is the leakage current performance at high temperature?
The input off-leakage current is less than 1nA at +85°C, and output off-leakage current is less than 2.5nA at +85°C.
