Product Summary

The MAX3232ECAE is a precision, dual, SPST analog switch. It is designed to operate from +2.7V to +16V. The MAX3232ECAE has two normally open (NO) switches. Low power consumption (5µW) makes the MAX3232ECAE ideal for battery-powered equipment. The switch offers low leakage currents (100pA max) and fast switching speeds (tON = 150ns max, tOFF = 100ns max). The applications of the MAX3232ECAE include Battery-Operated Systems, Sample-and-Hold Circuits, Heads-Up Displays, Guidance and Control Systems, Audio and Video Switching, Military Radios,Test Equipment, Communications Systems, +3V, +5V DACs and ADCs and PBX, PABX.
