Product details
Overview
MAX4504CPA from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage, dual-supply, single-pole/single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch with normally closed (NC) configuration. It operates from ±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 instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4504CPA datasheet, MAX4504CPA pinout, MAX4504CPA application, or MAX4504CPA equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed NC state behavior, dual-supply leakage performance across temperature, charge injection (≤10pC), switching speed (tON = 150ns), and compatibility with CMOS logic inputs without ground reference.
Technical Context
The MAX4504CPA implements a fully differential CMOS transmission gate architecture with no internal ground connection - its digital control logic is referenced to V+, and level translation is performed internally to drive analog switches between V+ and V−. All signal terminals (COM, NC, NO) feature ESD protection diodes to both supply rails.
It guarantees rail-to-rail analog operation: input signals may swing from V− to V+, and the device maintains specified on-resistance, leakage, and charge injection across that full range. The absence of a ground pin enables floating-bus applications but requires logic signals referenced to V+ to avoid absolute maximum rating violations.
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) and legacy ±5V designs |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 250Ω max at ±5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor or audio paths |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance measurement circuits (e.g., pH sensors, photodiode amps) |
| Charge Injection | 10pC max - limits voltage glitch on sampled nodes, critical for ADC front-end sample-and-hold stability |
| Switching Speed | tON = 150ns, tOFF = 100ns - supports multiplexing at >1MHz rates in data acquisition systems |
| Analog Signal Range | Rail-to-rail: V− to V+ - allows full utilization of supply headroom in bipolar signal chains |
| Logic Compatibility | CMOS-input with no ground pin - accepts logic high ≥(V+) − 1.5V, eliminating need for level shifters when V+ powers controller |
Pinout & Package
MAX4504CPA is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP package (0.300" wide), suitable for through-hole prototyping and industrial control modules requiring mechanical robustness and thermal margin.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | COM (Common Terminal) | Analog signal path hub - bidirectionally connected to NC when enabled; must be routed with controlled impedance in RF-sensitive layouts |
| 2, 3, 5 | N.C. (Not Internally Connected) | No internal bond wire - pins are electrically isolated; may be left unconnected or used as keep-out markers on PCB |
| 4 | IN (Digital Control Input) | CMOS-compatible logic input referenced to V+ - low = switch ON (NC closed), high = switch OFF (NC open) |
| 6 | V− (Negative Supply) | Analog and logic supply return - all ESD diodes and internal bias networks reference this node; requires low-impedance decoupling |
| 7 | NC (Normally Closed Terminal) | Default-closed analog path to COM - opens when IN = high; interchangeable with NO/COM per datasheet note |
| 8 | V+ (Positive Supply) | Primary power and logic reference - supplies internal level translator and sets upper analog rail; must be decoupled near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No ground pin required | Enables true floating-bus operation and simplifies PCB layout in isolated subsystems (e.g., medical sensor front-ends) |
| Rail-to-rail analog switching | Supports full ±5.5V signal swing without clipping - essential for bipolar op-amp output multiplexing |
| Guaranteed 1nA off-leakage @ +25°C | Minimizes DC error in high-Z transducer interfaces (e.g., piezoelectric accelerometers, strain gauges) |
| 10pC max charge injection | Reduces sampling transient errors in 12-bit+ SAR ADC front-ends without external correction circuitry |
| 150ns turn-on time | Allows time-multiplexed channel scanning at ≥3MHz update rates in multi-channel DAQ systems |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Instrumentation | Audio Signal Routing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4504CSA | Same electrical specs, 8-pin SOIC package - 50% smaller footprint, surface-mount only | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs; thermal resistance higher than DIP (471mW vs. 727mW) | Select when automated assembly and board density outweigh manual soldering needs |
| ADG1419BRNZ | Single-supply only (±15V max), 4.5Ω RON, but requires ground-referenced logic and has 25pC charge injection | Better for high-speed, low-RON applications where dual-supply operation is unnecessary | Choose only if system uses single-ended supplies and prioritizes on-resistance over leakage or charge injection |
Compared with MAX4504CPA, MAX4504CSA offers identical performance in a compact SOIC package ideal for volume production, while ADG1419BRNZ trades dual-supply flexibility and ultra-low leakage for lower on-resistance - making MAX4504CPA optimal for battery-powered, precision bipolar signal routing where leakage and charge injection dominate design constraints.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX4504CPA?
The MAX4504CPA is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range is validated per the datasheet's "Ordering Information" table and applies specifically to the CPA suffix variant. It is not rated for extended industrial (−40°C to +85°C) or military (−55°C to +125°C) ranges - those require MAX4504EPA or MAX4504MJA variants respectively.
Does MAX4504CPA require a ground connection for proper operation?
No, the MAX4504CPA has no ground pin and does not require a system ground connection. Its digital input is referenced to V+, and internal level translation drives the analog switches between V+ and V−. Connecting external logic to a separate ground violates absolute maximum ratings and risks damage - logic signals must be referenced to the same V+ supply.
Can MAX4504CPA be used with single-supply systems?
The MAX4504CPA is designed exclusively for dual-supply operation (±1V to ±6V). For single-supply applications, Maxim specifies the pin-for-pin compatible MAX4502 - which shares the same NC functionality but includes a ground pin and is optimized for 3V to 12V single-rail use. Using MAX4504CPA with only V+ and no V− will result in undefined behavior and potential latch-up.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage the MAX4504CPA can handle?
The MAX4504CPA supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+. With ±5V supplies, it handles ±5.5V (per Absolute Maximum Ratings), meaning analog inputs may swing from −5.5V to +5.5V. Exceeding either supply rail forward-biases internal ESD diodes - limiting current to ±10mA is mandatory to prevent damage, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
How does the NC (normally closed) function of MAX4504CPA behave during power-down?
When V+ and V− are unpowered, the MAX4504CPA's NC path remains in its last known state only if residual charge maintains gate bias - but this is unreliable. Per datasheet guidance, the device is not characterized for power-down behavior. For guaranteed open-circuit isolation during power loss, external fail-safe circuitry (e.g., series resistor + pull-down) is required, as the internal MOSFET gates lose control voltage without active supplies.
