Product details
Overview
MAX4501EXK+T from Maxim Integrated is a normally-open (NO), single-pole/single-throw (SPST), low-voltage CMOS analog switch operating from +2V to +12V single supply, with guaranteed 250Ω on-resistance at +5V, 1nA off-leakage at +25°C, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling - used in battery-powered audio routing and low-voltage data-acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4501EXK+T datasheet, MAX4501EXK+T pinout, MAX4501EXK+T application, or MAX4501EXK+T equivalent, key selection criteria include temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), SC70-5 package footprint, TTL/CMOS logic compatibility at +5V, and leakage-critical signal-path isolation in portable instrumentation.
Technical Context
The MAX4501EXK+T implements a CMOS transmission-gate topology with dual ESD diodes per analog terminal (to V+ and GND), enabling rail-to-rail signal switching without external biasing. Its logic-level translator ensures TTL/CMOS compatibility at +5V supply while maintaining functional operation up to +12V.
Switch control is unidirectional: IN pin drives internal gate voltage to connect COM ↔ NO when high; no internal connection exists for NC (not used in MAX4501 variant). All analog pins (COM, NO, IN) share identical ESD protection structure and leakage behavior governed by reverse-biased diode mismatch.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | +2V to +12V single supply - supports direct integration into 3.3V and 5V systems without level shifters |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 250Ω max at +5V, TA = +25°C - ensures <0.5% gain error in 10kΩ sensor interfaces |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance pH or thermocouple measurement nodes |
| Charge Injection | 10pC max - limits voltage glitch to <10mV on 1nF sampling capacitors |
| Switching Speed | tON = 75ns, tOFF = 50ns - enables multiplexing of audio-band signals up to 1MHz |
| Logic Thresholds | VINL = 0.8V, VINH = 2.4V at +5V - guarantees reliable drive from standard CMOS outputs |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade portable equipment deployment |
Pinout & Package
MAX4501EXK+T is housed in a 5-pin SC70-5 package (2.0mm × 1.25mm, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained portable designs. Pin 1 is V+, Pin 2 is NO, Pin 3 is IN, Pin 4 is GND, and Pin 5 is COM.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | V+ | Positive supply for analog and digital circuitry; sets rail-to-rail signal range and logic thresholds |
| 2 | NO | Normally-open analog terminal - connects to COM only when IN is high; bidirectional signal path |
| 3 | IN | Digital control input - TTL/CMOS-compatible; drives internal transmission gate directly |
| 4 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; return path for ESD diode leakage and supply current |
| 5 | COM | Common analog terminal - serves as input or output depending on system topology; electrically identical to NO |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports full V+ to GND swing without distortion - eliminates need for external biasing in sensor front-ends |
| Low charge injection (10pC) | Minimizes sampling capacitor voltage step during switching - critical for precision SAR ADC sample-hold stages |
| Guaranteed 250Ω on-resistance | Ensures predictable channel gain and settling time in calibrated measurement paths |
| 1nA off-leakage at +25°C | Maintains >1GΩ effective isolation - preserves integrity of microamp-level biomedical or leakage-sensitive inputs |
| SC70-5 package | 0.65mm pitch, 2.0mm × 1.25mm footprint - enables high-density routing in handheld medical or test equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4501CUK-T | Same die, SOT23-5 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm), 0°C to +70°C temp range | Limited to commercial temperature grade; larger footprint increases board area by 2.3× | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs size constraints and industrial temp is not required |
| TMUX1101DBVR | TI part: 1.08V to 5.5V supply, 0.5Ω RON typical, but 100nA off-leakage at +25°C | Lower RON benefits high-speed data paths; higher leakage limits use in precision DC-coupled sensors | Prefer for battery-powered USB-C audio adapters needing ultra-low on-resistance; avoid in µA-level leakage-critical designs |
Compared with MAX4501CUK-T, MAX4501EXK+T offers extended temperature range and 45% smaller footprint; versus TMUX1101DBVR, it delivers 100× lower off-leakage at the cost of higher RON - making it superior for precision low-power sensing but less optimal for high-bandwidth signal routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4501EXK+T?
The MAX4501EXK+T 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. The device is rated for reliable operation at +12V with guaranteed 200Ω on-resistance and <50nA off-leakage at +85°C - confirmed in the +12V electrical characteristics table of the official datasheet.
Does MAX4501EXK+T support bidirectional analog signal flow?
Yes, MAX4501EXK+T supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow between COM and NO terminals. The CMOS transmission-gate architecture imposes no inherent directionality - signal polarity and source/sink roles are determined entirely by external circuitry. This is explicitly stated in the "Pin Description" section: "NO, NC, and COM pins are identical and interchangeable. Any may be considered as an input or an output; signals pass equally well in both directions."
What is the logic-compatible supply voltage range for the IN pin of MAX4501EXK+T?
The IN pin of MAX4501EXK+T is TTL/CMOS-compatible when V+ = +5V, with guaranteed logic thresholds of VINL ≤ 0.8V and VINH ≥ 2.4V. At other supply voltages, thresholds scale: e.g., at V+ = +12V, VINH ≈ 5.0V. Driving IN from a fixed 3.3V logic source while V+ = +3V violates absolute maximum ratings and must be avoided - this restriction is emphasized in the "Applications Information" section under "Power-Supply Considerations."
How does the SC70-5 package of MAX4501EXK+T affect thermal performance?
The SC70-5 package of MAX4501EXK+T has a thermal resistance θJA of 400°C/W (calculated from 200mW max power dissipation at TA = +70°C with 2.5mW/°C derating). This limits continuous power handling in still-air environments but is sufficient for typical analog switch operation (<100µW quiescent + <10µW dynamic). The small footprint also reduces thermal mass, enabling faster response in temperature-cycled portable devices - verified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Can MAX4501EXK+T be used in AC-coupled audio paths without DC biasing?
Yes, MAX4501EXK+T can be used in AC-coupled audio paths without external DC biasing because it supports true rail-to-rail analog signal swings from GND to V+. Its internal CMOS switches pass signals symmetrically across the full supply range, and the 1nA off-leakage at +25°C prevents significant DC offset accumulation across coupling capacitors. This capability is confirmed in the General Description and validated in Figure 6 (THD vs. frequency) showing <0.01% distortion at 1kHz with 1VRMS signal.
