The MAX378CWG+ is 8-channel single-ended (1-of-8) multiplexer use a series N-channel/P-channel/N-channel structure to provide significant fault protection. If the power supplies to the MAX378CWG+ are inadvertently turned off while input voltages are still applied, all channels in the mixes are turned off, and only a few nano amperes of leakage current will flow into the inputs. This protects not only the MAX378CWG+ and the circuitry they drive, but also the sensors or signal sources that drive the mixes. The series N-channel/P-channel/N-channel protection structure has two significant advantages over the simple current-limiting protection scheme of the industry’s first generation fault-protected mixes. First, the Maxim protection scheme limits fault currents to nanoamp leakage values rather than many milliamperes. This prevents damage to sensors or other sensitive signal sources. Second, the MAX378CWG+ fault-protected mixes can withstand a continuous ±60V input, unlike the first generation, which had a continuous ±35V input limitation imposed by power dissipation considerations. All digital inputs have logic thresholds of 0.8V and 2.4V, ensuring both TTL and CMOS compatibility without requiring pull-up resistors. Break-before-make operation is guaranteed. Power dissipation is less than 2mW.
