MAX14661
Beyond-the-Rails 16:2 Multiplexer
General Description
The MAX14661 is a serially controlled, dual-channel
analog multiplexer allowing any of the 16 pins to be
connected to either common pin simultaneously in any
combination. The device features Beyond-the-Rails
capability so that ±5.5V signals can be passed with any
single supply between +1.6V and +5.5V.

be applied. I C mode provides two address-select pins
• Programmable Shadow Registers Allow
Simultaneous Updating
allowing for addressing up to four devices on a single bus.
The SPI mode includes a DOUT pin that can be used to
chain multiple devices together with a single select signal.

Performance
The IC is available in a 28-pin (4mm x 4mm) TQFN pack-
age and is specified over the -40ºC to +85ºC extended
temperature range. The AB_ and COM_ pins provide
±10kV ESD protection (HBM).
