Product details
Overview
MAX4501ESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a single-pole/single-throw (SPST), normally-open (NO), low-voltage CMOS analog switch operating from a single +2V to +12V supply. It supports rail-to-rail analog signal switching, delivers 250Ω on-resistance at +5V, exhibits 1nA off-leakage at +25°C, and features TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds-used in battery-powered audio routing and low-voltage data-acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4501ESA+ datasheet, MAX4501ESA+ pinout, MAX4501ESA+ application, or MAX4501ESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance over temperature, leakage performance at extended industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), SO-8 package compatibility with legacy PCB footprints, and rail-to-rail signal handling without level-shifting circuitry.
Technical Context
The MAX4501ESA+ integrates complementary MOSFETs configured as a single-pole, normally-open analog switch with no internal pull-up/down. Its control logic accepts 0.8V/2.4V thresholds for direct +5V TTL/CMOS interfacing, and its analog path supports bidirectional rail-to-rail signals up to V+ without clipping.
ESD protection diodes are internally connected between COM/NO/IN pins and both V+ and GND, defining absolute maximum ratings and contributing to measured leakage currents. The device draws only supply current through these reverse-biased diodes and internal logic-no quiescent current flows through the analog path when off.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Supply Range | +2V to +12V single supply-enables direct integration into 3.3V, 5V, and 9V battery or industrial systems without auxiliary rails |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 250Ω max at +5V, TA = –40°C to +85°C-ensures predictable voltage drop and minimal gain error in precision signal paths |
| Off-Leakage Current | 10nA max at +85°C-preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and sample-hold circuits |
| Charge Injection | 10pC typ-limits voltage glitch on sampled nodes, critical for ADC front-end multiplexing |
| Switching Speed | tON = 75ns, tOFF = 50ns (RL = 1kΩ, CL = 35pF)-supports multiplexing of moderate-bandwidth signals up to ~2MHz |
| Logic Compatibility | 0.8V low / 2.4V high thresholds at +5V-guarantees noise-immune digital control without external level shifters |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C-qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood auxiliary modules |
Pinout & Package
MAX4501ESA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with standard 1.27mm pitch and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is V+, pin 2 is COM, pin 3 is NO, pin 4 is NC (not internally connected), pin 5 is IN, pin 6 is GND, pin 7 is N.C., and pin 8 is N.C. All unused pins are unconnected and must remain floating or grounded per layout best practices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive supply input | Powers analog switch core and internal logic; sets upper rail for rail-to-rail signal handling |
| COM | Analog common terminal | Bidirectional signal port-connects to system reference node or signal chain midpoint |
| NO | Normally-open analog terminal | Open-circuit when IN = LOW; closes to COM only when IN = HIGH |
| NC | No connection | Not bonded internally-must be left unconnected or tied to GND for mechanical stability |
| IN | Digital control input | Active-high logic interface; drives internal gate drivers with TTL/CMOS thresholds |
| GND | Ground reference | Analog and digital return path; ESD diode cathode for all signal pins |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog operation | Supports full V+ to GND signal swing without distortion or clipping-eliminates need for external biasing in AC-coupled paths |
| Guaranteed on-resistance | 250Ω max across –40°C to +85°C ensures stable channel gain and predictable settling in precision instrumentation |
| Low charge injection (10pC) | Minimizes sampling error in switched-capacitor circuits and ADC multiplexers-critical for 12-bit+ resolution systems |
| Fast switching (tOFF = 50ns) | Enables time-division multiplexing of multiple sensor channels with <100ns dead time between acquisitions |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | Validated at +5V supply-allows direct interfacing with microcontrollers, FPGAs, and logic families without glue logic |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1419BRMZ | Single-supply +5V only; 0.7Ω RON; requires external logic-level translation for 3.3V control | Higher precision, lower RON-but limited to 5V systems and lacks extended temperature grade | Select when ultra-low on-resistance is required and supply is fixed at +5V; not suitable for battery voltage scaling or industrial temp range |
| TS5A23157DGSR | +1.65V to +5.5V supply; 0.9Ω RON; 15pC charge injection; –40°C to +85°C rated | Lower voltage operation and smaller SC70-6 package-but higher leakage (50nA @ +85°C) and no 8-pin SO option | Prefer for space-constrained, low-voltage designs where leakage tolerance >10nA; MAX4501ESA+ remains optimal for SO-8 layouts and tighter leakage budgets |
Compared with ADG1419BRMZ and TS5A23157DGSR, the MAX4501ESA+ uniquely balances wide supply flexibility (+2V to +12V), industrial temperature qualification, SO-8 compatibility, and sub-10nA leakage-making it the preferred choice for ruggedized, multi-rail analog signal routing where layout continuity and long-term stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4501ESA+?
The MAX4501ESA+ has an absolute maximum V+ rating of +13V. Continuous operation is specified from +2V to +12V. Exceeding +13V risks permanent damage due to internal ESD diode breakdown. For reliable long-term use, maintain V+ within the recommended +2V to +12V range, especially under temperature extremes.
Does MAX4501ESA+ support bidirectional analog signal flow?
Yes, the MAX4501ESA+ supports fully bidirectional analog signal routing between COM and NO terminals. Its CMOS transmission-gate architecture imposes no directionality-signals pass with identical RON, bandwidth, and distortion characteristics regardless of direction, making it ideal for shared bus or duplex interface applications.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance for MAX4501ESA+ at +12V supply?
At +12V supply and TA = +25°C, the MAX4501ESA+ guarantees RON ≤ 200Ω. Over the full –40°C to +85°C range, RON remains ≤ 350Ω. This is confirmed in the +12V Electrical Characteristics table and enables predictable gain and settling behavior in high-voltage sensor interfaces.
Can MAX4501ESA+ be used with a +3.3V logic control signal while powered from +5V?
No-MAX4501ESA+ logic thresholds scale with V+. At +5V supply, VINH = 2.4V min and VINL = 0.8V max. A +3.3V logic high meets this, but applying +3.3V logic to a +3V V+ supply violates absolute maximum ratings. Always match logic supply to V+ or use a level shifter if V+ ≠ logic rail.
Is the SO-8 package of MAX4501ESA+ pin-compatible with older MAX4501CSA variants?
Yes-the MAX4501ESA+ (–40°C to +85°C) and MAX4501CSA (0°C to +70°C) share identical SO-8 pinout, footprint, and terminal functions. Both use the same COM–NO–IN–GND–V+ arrangement in pins 2–3–5–6–1. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from CSA to ESA+ for extended temperature operation.
