Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated MAX4053ACEE

Overview

MAX4053ACEE from Maxim Integrated is a triple single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) CMOS analog switch optimized for low-voltage, rail-to-rail signal routing. It operates from ±2.7V to ±8V dual supplies or +2.7V to +16V single supply, features 100Ω typical on-resistance at ±5V, 0.1nA max off-leakage at +25°C, and supports TTL/CMOS logic compatibility. It is used in battery-powered audio/video routing and low-voltage data-acquisition systems.

For engineers reviewing the MAX4053ACEE datasheet, MAX4053ACEE pinout, MAX4053ACEE application, or MAX4053ACEE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance match (6Ω), low charge injection (2pC), high off-isolation (<–90dB), and QSOP-16 package compatibility with space-constrained mixed-signal PCB layouts.

Technical Context

The MAX4053ACEE implements three independent SPDT switches using matched CMOS transmission gates driven by address-decoded logic (ADDA, ADDB, INH). Each switch supports bidirectional rail-to-rail analog signals with no ground reference-signal paths are isolated between V+ and V−, and leakage is dominated by ESD diode reverse bias currents.

Its digital interface uses fixed 0.8V/2.4V logic thresholds across supply ranges, enabling direct interfacing with 5V TTL/CMOS without level shifters. Break-before-make timing (≤75ns) prevents momentary shorting during channel switching, critical for multiplexed sensor or audio signal integrity.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

FAQ

What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4053ACEE?

The MAX4053ACEE supports absolute maximum ratings of V+ to –0.3V/+17V and V− to +0.3V/–17V, with V+ to V− differential up to +17V. For reliable long-term operation, use within recommended ranges: ±2.7V to ±8V dual supply or +2.7V to +16V single supply. Exceeding these may cause permanent damage or accelerated parametric drift.

Does MAX4053ACEE support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?

Yes, the MAX4053ACEE supports true rail-to-rail analog signal switching across its full specified supply range. Signals can swing from V− to V+ without clipping or distortion, as confirmed by analog signal range specifications (VCOM/VNO = V− to V+) and THD < 0.04% at 600Ω load. This enables direct interfacing with op-amps and ADCs operating at supply rails.

What is the function of the INH pin on MAX4053ACEE?

INH (Inhibit) is a digital control input that disables all three SPDT switches when driven high. When INH = logic high, all switches enter high-impedance off-state regardless of ADDA/ADDB states. This provides system-level signal isolation and reduces supply current to sub-µA levels-critical for power-gating in portable instruments and sensor nodes.

How does MAX4053ACEE differ from non-A-suffix variants like MAX4053CE?

The MAX4053ACEE is the A-suffix variant, fully characterized for on-resistance match (6Ω max), on-resistance flatness, and low leakage (0.1nA off-leakage at +25°C). Standard MAX4053CE offers looser match (12Ω) and higher leakage (1nA), making the ACEE version preferred for precision applications requiring channel consistency and minimal signal corruption.

Can MAX4053ACEE operate from a single 3.3V supply?

Yes, MAX4053ACEE operates from a single +3.3V supply (within +2.7V to +16V range). At +3.3V, typical on-resistance rises to ~250Ω (vs. 100Ω at ±5V), and switching times increase-but functionality remains intact. Logic thresholds remain compatible (0.8V/2.4V), allowing direct connection to 3.3V microcontrollers without level shifting.
