Product details
Overview
MAX4503EUK from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage, dual-supply, single-pole/single-throw (SPST), normally open (NO) CMOS analog switch in SOT23-5 package. It operates from ±1V to ±6V supplies, supports rail-to-rail analog signals up to ±4.5V, delivers 250Ω on-resistance at ±5V, and exhibits only 1nA off-leakage at +25°C - ideal for precision signal routing in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4503EUK datasheet, MAX4503EUK pinout, MAX4503EUK application, or MAX4503EUK equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, temperature-rated leakage and switching performance, SOT23-5 footprint compatibility, and validated alternatives for low-voltage analog switching in portable and industrial systems.
Technical Context
The MAX4503EUK uses a CMOS transmission-gate architecture with no ground pin, relying solely on V+ and V− to define analog signal range and power internal logic-level translation. Its input stage features a high-impedance comparator referenced to V+, enabling CMOS-logic compatibility across supply voltages without external level shifting.
ESD protection diodes connect each analog terminal (COM, NO, V−) to both V+ and V−, making leakage current path-dependent on signal voltage relative to supplies - resulting in guaranteed 1nA COM off-leakage at +25°C and 10nA at +85°C, with charge injection limited to 10pC max.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | ±1V to ±6V dual supply - enables operation in ultra-low-voltage systems (e.g., ±1.5V) while maintaining rail-to-rail analog signal handling |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 250Ω max at ±5V, +25°C - ensures minimal signal attenuation and distortion in audio and sensor front-ends |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C, 10nA max at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance measurement paths (e.g., pH sensors, thermocouples) |
| Charge Injection | 10pC max - limits voltage glitch on sampled nodes, critical for precision ADC sample-and-hold circuits |
| Switching Speed | tON = 150ns, tOFF = 100ns - supports multiplexing of moderate-speed signals (e.g., <1 MHz data acquisition) |
| Analog Signal Range | Rail-to-rail: V− to V+ - allows full utilization of supply headroom in bipolar-signal applications like audio line switching |
| Logic Compatibility | CMOS-input with no ground pin - accepts logic-high ≥ (V+ − 1.5V) and logic-low ≤ (V+ − 3.5V), eliminating need for level translators |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 surface-mount package (3.0mm × 1.75mm × 1.3mm body, 0.95mm pitch); RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - COM | Analog common terminal | Signal path hub: bidirectionally connects to NO when enabled; must be routed with controlled impedance in sensitive analog paths |
| 2 - NO | Normally open analog terminal | Open-circuit when IN = LOW; closes to COM when IN = HIGH - used for enable-controlled signal insertion or break-before-make routing |
| 3 - V− | Negative analog/digital supply | Bias reference for ESD diodes and internal logic; must be decoupled locally to minimize noise coupling into analog paths |
| 4 - IN | Digital control input | CMOS-compatible logic input referenced to V+; no external pull-up required - simplifies interface with microcontroller GPIOs |
| 5 - V+ | Positive analog/digital supply | Primary supply for analog conduction and logic translation; powers internal level shifter - shares rail with digital host in many portable designs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No ground pin required | Eliminates PCB ground-loop risk and simplifies layout in isolated or floating analog subsystems |
| Guaranteed 1nA off-leakage at +25°C | Enables use in >10GΩ input-impedance circuits without calibration drift from leakage-induced offset |
| 10pC max charge injection | Reduces sampling error in 12-bit+ SAR ADC front-ends without requiring additional settling time or correction |
| 150ns turn-on time | Supports channel scanning at up to ~5 MHz in multi-channel data loggers with minimal inter-channel crosstalk |
| ±1V minimum supply operation | Permits integration into energy-harvesting systems powered by low-output piezoelectric or thermoelectric sources |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPST analog switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4503CUK | Same silicon, 0°C to +70°C temp grade vs. MAX4503EUK's −40°C to +85°C rating | Not suitable for automotive or outdoor industrial deployments requiring extended temperature operation | Select MAX4503EUK for designs requiring guaranteed performance over −40°C to +85°C without derating. |
| TMUX1574DBVR | Single-supply only (1.08V to 3.6V), 0.5Ω typical RON, but no dual-supply capability or negative rail support | Cannot replace MAX4503EUK in bipolar-signal or ±supply systems (e.g., audio, sensor conditioning) | Choose TMUX1574DBVR only for unipolar, low-RON, single-supply applications where negative voltage handling is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX4503CUK, the MAX4503EUK adds guaranteed operation down to −40°C and up to +85°C - essential for industrial and automotive edge nodes. Against TMUX1574DBVR, MAX4503EUK uniquely supports true dual-supply operation and rail-to-rail bipolar analog signals, making it irreplaceable in mixed-signal systems requiring ±V handling.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MAX4503EUK?
The MAX4503EUK is rated for −40°C to +85°C operation, with all key parameters - including 1nA off-leakage at +25°C and 10nA at +85°C, 250Ω on-resistance, and 150ns turn-on time - guaranteed across this full industrial temperature range. This makes MAX4503EUK suitable for deployment in automotive cabins, factory-floor sensors, and outdoor IoT gateways without thermal derating.
Does the MAX4503EUK require a ground connection?
No, the MAX4503EUK has no ground pin. It operates using only V+ and V− supply terminals, with its digital input referenced internally to V+. This eliminates ground-loop concerns and simplifies PCB layout in isolated or floating analog subsystems - a core architectural feature confirmed in the MAX4503EUK datasheet's Pin Description and Applications Information sections.
Can the MAX4503EUK handle analog signals beyond the supply rails?
No. The MAX4503EUK's analog signal range is strictly limited to V− to V+, as stated in the Electrical Characteristics table. Voltages exceeding either rail forward-bias internal ESD diodes, risking damage if current exceeds ±10mA. The MAX4503EUK datasheet explicitly warns against violating absolute maximum ratings - analog signals must remain within the supply rails for safe, specified operation.
What is the maximum supply voltage the MAX4503EUK supports?
The MAX4503EUK supports dual supplies up to ±6V (i.e., V+ = +6V, V− = −6V), with absolute maximum ratings specifying V+ up to +13V relative to V−. However, functional operation is only guaranteed from ±1V to ±6V per the Electrical Characteristics tables - operation beyond ±6V is not characterized and may compromise reliability or parametric performance of the MAX4503EUK.
Is the MAX4503EUK pin-compatible with other packages in the MAX4503 family?
Yes - the MAX4503EUK (SOT23-5) shares identical pinout and function with the MAX4503EPA (8-pin PDIP) and MAX4503ESA (8-pin SO), as confirmed in the Pin Configurations and Pin Description sections of the MAX4503EUK datasheet. All three variants map COM to pin 1, NO to pin 2, V− to pin 3, IN to pin 4, and V+ to pin 5 - enabling drop-in replacement across form factors without layout changes.
