Product details
Overview
MAX4503CUK-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage, dual-supply, normally-open (NO) SPST CMOS analog switch in SOT23-5 package. It operates with ±1V to ±6V supplies, supports rail-to-rail analog signals up to ±5.5V, delivers 250Ω on-resistance at ±5V, and exhibits only 1nA off-leakage at +25°C - ideal for precision signal routing in battery-powered audio and data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4503CUK-T datasheet, MAX4503CUK-T pinout, MAX4503CUK-T application, or MAX4503CUK-T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world switching performance metrics, thermal leakage behavior across temperature, SOT23-5 terminal mapping, and functionally comparable alternatives for low-voltage analog path control.
Technical Context
The MAX4503CUK-T uses a fully differential CMOS switch architecture with no ground pin, relying solely on V+ and V− to define analog signal rails and bias internal logic-level translators. Its digital input is referenced to V+, enabling CMOS compatibility without external level-shifting even under asymmetric supply conditions.
Each switch channel features matched ESD diodes to V+ and V− on COM, NO, and IN pins, with leakage current determined by the voltage differential across those diodes - explaining the specified 1nA (25°C) and 10nA (85°C) off-leakage limits. Charge injection is tightly controlled at ≤10pC, critical for sample-hold and multiplexer accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | ±1V to ±6V dual supply - enables operation from ultra-low-voltage battery rails (e.g., ±1.2V Li-ion) up to industrial ±5V systems |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 250Ω max at ±5V, +25°C - ensures minimal signal attenuation and THD impact in audio and sensor paths |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C, 10nA max at +85°C - preserves DC accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends and precision integrators |
| Charge Injection | ≤10pC - limits voltage glitch on sampled nodes, supporting <12-bit accuracy in data-acquisition multiplexers |
| Switching Speed | tON = 150ns, tOFF = 100ns - suitable for multiplexing up to ~1MHz analog signals with minimal settling delay |
| Analog Signal Range | Rail-to-rail: V− to V+ - allows full utilization of supply headroom for ±4.5V signal swing with ±5V supplies |
| Logic Compatibility | CMOS-input referenced to V+ - eliminates need for external level shifters when driving from same-supply microcontrollers |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package: 5-pin, surface-mount, 1.6mm × 2.9mm body, 0.95mm height, lead pitch 0.95mm. RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - COM | Analog common terminal | Signal path midpoint; bidirectional - connects to either NO or NC depending on control state |
| 2 - NO | Normally open analog terminal | Open-circuit when IN = LOW; closed to COM when IN = HIGH - defines default-off signal path |
| 3 - V− | Negative analog supply | Sets lower rail for analog signal range and biases internal ESD diodes and switch transistors |
| 4 - IN | Digital control input | CMOS-compatible logic input referenced to V+; no ground connection required |
| 5 - V+ | Positive analog/digital supply | Sets upper rail for analog signals and powers internal logic translator and gate drivers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4503EUK-T | Same circuit, extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) vs. MAX4503CUK-T (0°C to +70°C); identical SOT23-5 pinout and electrical specs | Suitable for automotive cabin modules or industrial controllers requiring wider thermal margin | Select MAX4503EUK-T when ambient operating temperature exceeds +70°C or requires AEC-Q200 alignment |
| ADG1201BRMZ-REEL7 | Single-supply only (up to +12V), 180Ω RON at +5V, 0.5pC charge injection, but requires ground reference and lacks dual-supply capability | Applicable only in unipolar systems; cannot replace MAX4503CUK-T in true bipolar ±V applications | Choose ADG1201BRMZ-REEL7 only for cost-sensitive, single-rail designs where dual-supply operation is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX4503CUK-T, MAX4503EUK-T offers identical functionality with enhanced thermal reliability, while ADG1201BRMZ-REEL7 trades dual-supply flexibility for lower charge injection and single-rail simplicity - making it unsuitable as a drop-in replacement in ±V signal chains.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for MAX4503CUK-T?
The MAX4503CUK-T supports dual supplies from ±1V to ±6V. Absolute maximum ratings specify V+ up to +13V relative to V−, but continuous operation beyond ±6V violates the guaranteed specifications and risks exceeding safe junction temperature. For reliable long-term use, stay within the ±1V to ±6V operating range documented in the datasheet.
Does MAX4503CUK-T require a ground connection?
No, the MAX4503CUK-T has no ground pin. Its digital input is internally referenced to V+, and analog signal rails are defined solely by V+ and V−. This enables true floating operation in isolated or split-rail systems - a key differentiator from most single-supply analog switches that mandate a ground reference.
Can MAX4503CUK-T be used with single-supply systems?
The MAX4503CUK-T is designed for dual-supply operation. For single-supply applications, Maxim recommends the pin-for-pin compatible MAX4501/MAX4502 series. Attempting single-supply use with MAX4503CUK-T (e.g., tying V− to GND) violates its specified operating conditions and may cause undefined logic behavior or excessive leakage.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance for MAX4503CUK-T at ±3V supplies?
At ±3V supplies, the MAX4503CUK-T guarantees an on-resistance of 400Ω maximum (typical 100Ω) at +25°C. This is higher than the 250Ω spec at ±5V due to reduced gate overdrive - a critical consideration when designing low-distortion audio paths or precision sensor interfaces at lower voltages.
How does charge injection affect system performance with MAX4503CUK-T?
With ≤10pC guaranteed charge injection, the MAX4503CUK-T introduces minimal voltage glitch on sampled nodes: ΔV = Q/CL. For example, with a 100pF hold capacitor, the step error is ≤100mV - manageable in 10-bit systems but requiring careful capacitor sizing or calibration in 12-bit+ data acquisition. Layout minimization of stray capacitance further reduces effective error.
