Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated MAX4053ESE+

Overview

MAX4053ESE+ from Maxim Integrated is a triple single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) CMOS analog switch designed for low-voltage signal routing in precision systems. It operates from ±2.7V to ±8V dual supplies or +2.7V to +16V single supply, delivers 100Ω typical on-resistance at ±5V, guarantees ≤6Ω channel-to-channel on-resistance match (A-suffix), and supports rail-to-rail analog signals up to ±5V - enabling use in battery-powered audio multiplexing and low-leakage data-acquisition front-ends.

For engineers reviewing the MAX4053ESE+ datasheet, MAX4053ESE+ pinout, MAX4053ESE+ application, or MAX4053ESE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance flatness (<10Ω), sub-0.1nA off-leakage at +25°C, break-before-make timing (≤75ns), TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, and SPDT topology with independent COM/NO/NC terminals per switch.

Technical Context

The MAX4053ESE+ implements three fully independent SPDT switches using matched CMOS transmission gates, each controlled by a dedicated 1-bit address (ADDA for Switch A, ADDB for Switch B, ADDC for Switch C). Its internal logic-level translators isolate digital control inputs (0.8V–2.4V thresholds) from analog supply rails (V+, V−), enabling robust operation across wide voltage ranges without level-shifting circuitry.

All switches feature symmetrical bidirectional signal paths, no ground reference for analog signals, and ESD protection diodes between each NO/COM pin and both V+ and V−. Off-isolation exceeds −90dB at 100kHz (50Ω), crosstalk is <−90dB, and charge injection is limited to 2pC - critical for maintaining signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and precision ADC/DAC muxing.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

MAX4053ESE+ is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (SOIC-N) package with 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, and rated for −40°C to +85°C operation.

FAQ

What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX4053ESE+?

The MAX4053ESE+ supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+. With ±5V supplies, this means −5V to +5V; with +5V single supply (V− = GND), it supports 0V to +5V. Absolute maximum ratings allow V+ up to +17V and V− down to −17V, but analog signal swing remains bounded by the actual supply rails applied to V+ and V−.

Does the MAX4053ESE+ require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its ADDx or INH pins?

No, the MAX4053ESE+ does not require external biasing on ADDA, ADDB, ADDC, or INH. Its digital inputs have guaranteed TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (0.8V low, 2.4V high at +5V supply) and draw only ±1µA input current - allowing direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs or logic gates without additional components.

How does the MAX4053ESE+ achieve its 0.1nA off-leakage specification?

The MAX4053ESE+ achieves 0.1nA max off-leakage at +25°C through process optimization and rigorous A-suffix characterization. This value is 100% tested at hot operating temperature and guaranteed by correlation at room temperature - reflecting true leakage across the CMOS transmission gate's off-state channel, not just diode leakage. The spec applies to both NO and COM terminals.

Can the MAX4053ESE+ be used with a +3.3V single supply?

Yes, the MAX4053ESE+ operates with +3.3V single supply (V+ = +3.3V, V− = GND). At this voltage, typical on-resistance rises to ~525Ω (vs. 100Ω at ±5V), and switching times increase, but all logic thresholds remain compatible, and rail-to-rail analog operation (0V to +3.3V) is preserved - making it viable for low-power 3.3V systems where signal integrity permits higher RON.

What is the purpose of the INH pin on the MAX4053ESE+?

INH is the active-high digital inhibit input. When driven high, it forces all three SPDT switches into the open (non-conducting) state regardless of ADDA/ADDB/ADDC states - providing hardware-level global disable for safety-critical or power-saving modes. When pulled low or grounded, normal address-controlled switching resumes.
