Product details
Overview
MAX4501EXK-T from Maxim Integrated is a single-pole/single-throw (SPST), normally open (NO), low-voltage CMOS analog switch operating from +2V to +12V single supply. It supports rail-to-rail analog signal switching, delivers 250Ω on-resistance at +5V, exhibits 1nA off-leakage at +25°C, and is packaged in SC70-5 for space-constrained battery-powered audio routing applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4501EXK-T datasheet, MAX4501EXK-T pinout, MAX4501EXK-T application, or MAX4501EXK-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance over temperature, ultra-low leakage across industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), TTL/CMOS logic compatibility at +5V, fast 75ns turn-on time, and SC70-5 footprint suitability for portable PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4501EXK-T implements a CMOS transmission-gate architecture with dual ESD diodes per analog terminal (to V+ and GND), enabling rail-to-rail signal handling while defining leakage paths strictly between signal pins and supply rails-not between signal paths. Its logic interface uses internal level translators to drive analog gates directly from TTL/CMOS inputs without external biasing.
Unlike multiplexers or bidirectional digital switches, the MAX4501EXK-T functions as a passive, bidirectional analog path with no internal amplification or buffering; all dynamic performance-including 10pC charge injection and −100dB off-isolation at 100kHz-is defined by its MOSFET channel geometry, gate drive strength, and package parasitics-verified across +2V to +12V supply operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2V to +12V single supply-enables direct integration into 3.3V and 5V systems without level shifters |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 250Ω max at +5V, TA = +25°C-ensures minimal signal attenuation in low-current sensor/audio paths |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C, 10nA max at +85°C-preserves accuracy in high-impedance data-acquisition front-ends |
| Switching Speed | tON = 75ns, tOFF = 50ns (RL = 1kΩ, CL = 35pF)-supports burst-mode signal routing in modem and PCMCIA timing windows |
| Charge Injection | 10pC max-limits voltage glitch on sampled-hold nodes in precision ADC interfaces |
| Logic Thresholds | VINH = 2.4V, VINL = 0.8V at +5V supply-guarantees interoperability with standard TTL and CMOS outputs |
| Analog Signal Range | Rail-to-rail (GND to V+)-allows full-scale signal pass-through without clipping in battery-operated equipment |
Pinout & Package
MAX4501EXK-T is housed in a 5-pin SC70-5 package (1.25mm × 1.65mm, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for high-density portable designs. Pin assignments are identical to SOT23-5 but with tighter dimensional tolerances and thermal profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - V+ | Positive supply rail | Powers analog switch core and logic translator; sets upper analog voltage limit and logic high threshold |
| 2 - NO | Normally open analog terminal | Open-circuit when IN = LOW; connects to COM only when switch is enabled-used for interrupt or enable-controlled signal insertion |
| 3 - IN | Digital control input | TTL/CMOS-compatible logic input; HIGH activates switch path between COM and NO |
| 4 - GND | Ground reference | Returns logic circuitry and ESD protection diodes; defines lower analog voltage limit |
| 5 - COM | Common analog terminal | Bidirectional signal port-connects to NO when enabled; supports equal forward/reverse signal flow |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog operation | Supports full V+ to GND signal swing without distortion-critical for ±1.5V audio and unipolar sensor outputs |
| Guaranteed 250Ω on-resistance | Specified over full temperature and supply range-enables predictable gain and settling in precision signal chains |
| 10pC charge injection | Minimizes sampling error in switched-capacitor circuits and sample-and-hold stages |
| SC70-5 and SOT23-5 packaging | Enables drop-in layout compatibility between MAX4501EXK-T and MAX4501CUK-T in space-constrained designs |

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 electrical specs, but rated 0°C to +70°C and packaged in SOT23-5 (slightly larger footprint, higher thermal resistance) | Suitable for commercial-grade consumer devices where extended temperature is not required | Select MAX4501CUK-T only if ambient operating temperature stays below +70°C and PCB layout allows SOT23-5 pad dimensions |
| TS5A23157DCUR | Lower 0.9Ω RON at 3.3V but higher 25nA off-leakage at +85°C; supports 1.65V–5.5V supply | Better for low-RON power-path switching, less suitable for high-impedance precision sensing due to leakage | Prefer TS5A23157DCUR when driving low-Z loads below 100Ω; avoid in µA-level sensor bias networks where MAX4501EXK-T's 10nA leakage is critical |
Compared with MAX4501CUK-T, MAX4501EXK-T provides guaranteed −40°C to +85°C operation and smaller SC70-5 footprint-essential for automotive-adjacent and industrial portable gear-while matching all key analog specs. Against TS5A23157DCUR, MAX4501EXK-T trades lower on-resistance for superior leakage performance and broader supply range (+2V to +12V), making it more versatile in mixed-voltage battery systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4501EXK-T?
The MAX4501EXK-T has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+) of +13V, but its specified operational range is +2V to +12V. Operation above +12V risks exceeding design margins and may degrade long-term reliability-even if within absolute ratings. For robust 12V system use, ensure V+ remains ≤ +12.6V per the +12V supply characterization table, and confirm thermal derating for SC70-5's 200mW dissipation limit at elevated ambient temperatures. The MAX4501EXK-T must never be subjected to reverse supply polarity or voltage transients beyond ±0.3V relative to GND on any pin.
Does MAX4501EXK-T support bidirectional analog signal flow?
Yes, the MAX4501EXK-T supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow between COM and NO terminals. Its CMOS transmission-gate structure imposes no inherent directionality-signals pass with identical RON, leakage, and bandwidth in either direction. This is confirmed in the Pin Description section stating "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." The MAX4501EXK-T's rail-to-rail capability and symmetric leakage specs further validate true bidirectional operation across its full −40°C to +85°C range.
What is the logic-compatible supply voltage range for MAX4501EXK-T's IN pin?
The MAX4501EXK-T's IN pin is designed for TTL/CMOS compatibility when V+ = +5V, with guaranteed logic thresholds of VINL ≤ 0.8V (LOW) and VINH ≥ 2.4V (HIGH). As V+ increases to +12V, the input thresholds scale upward-reaching ~3V for VINH-remaining compatible with CMOS outputs but exceeding TTL's 2.0V minimum HIGH threshold. Therefore, MAX4501EXK-T is logic-compatible across its entire +2V to +12V supply range, but direct interfacing with 3.3V or 5V logic families requires verifying that the driving device meets the actual VINH/VINL levels at the applied V+, especially at temperature extremes.
Can MAX4501EXK-T be used in audio line-level switching applications?
Yes, the MAX4501EXK-T is qualified for audio line-level switching: its 250Ω on-resistance introduces negligible attenuation (<0.1dB) into 10kΩ audio paths; 10pC charge injection prevents audible pop in headphone drivers; and −100dB off-isolation at 100kHz suppresses crosstalk between adjacent channels. Verified THD plots show <0.01% distortion up to 10kHz at +5V supply. However, for professional audio with >20Vpp signals, the MAX4501EXK-T's +12V max V+ and rail-to-rail limit restrict use to consumer-grade line levels (≤2Vrms). Always AC-couple inputs and avoid DC bias exceeding GND–V+ range.
How does the SC70-5 package of MAX4501EXK-T compare thermally to SOT23-5 variants?
The SC70-5 package used in MAX4501EXK-T has a lower power dissipation rating than SOT23-5: 200mW at +70°C (derating 2.5mW/°C above), versus 571mW for SOT23-5 (derating 7.1mW/°C). This reflects SC70-5's smaller die pad and thinner mold compound. Under typical 1mA analog current and 1µA supply current, MAX4501EXK-T self-heats <1°C-well within limits. But in high-current or high-ambient scenarios (>60°C), thermal margin shrinks faster with SC70-5. Layout best practices-such as maximizing copper pour under pin 1 (V+) and pin 4 (GND)-are essential to sustain MAX4501EXK-T's −40°C to +85°C rating in compact designs.
