Product details
Overview
MAX4504CSA from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage, dual-supply, normally closed (NC) SPST CMOS analog switch in SOT23-5 package. It operates with ±1V to ±6V supplies, delivers rail-to-rail signal handling, guarantees 250Ω on-resistance at ±5V, and exhibits only 1nA off-leakage at +25°C - enabling precision signal routing in battery-powered audio and data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4504CSA datasheet, MAX4504CSA pinout, MAX4504CSA application, or MAX4504CSA equivalent, key selection criteria include its NC default state, absence of ground pin, CMOS-logic compatibility without reference to GND, and guaranteed charge injection ≤10pC for low-distortion switching in sensitive analog paths.
Technical Context
The MAX4504CSA uses a fully differential CMOS transmission-gate architecture with no internal ground connection, relying solely on V+ and V− to define analog signal range and bias logic-level translation circuitry. Its digital input is referenced internally to V+, enabling CMOS-compatible control even with asymmetric or low-magnitude dual supplies.
Each switch channel supports bidirectional rail-to-rail analog signals up to ±6V, with leakage currents strictly characterized across temperature (1nA @ +25°C, 10nA @ +85°C) and on-resistance stable over VCOM (±4.5V) and temperature (60Ω typ. @ +25°C, 350Ω max. @ −55°C to +125°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | Normally closed (NC) SPST analog switch - conducts by default; requires logic HIGH to open |
| Supply Range | ±1V to ±6V dual supply - enables operation from ultra-low-voltage battery rails up to industrial ±5V systems |
| On-Resistance | 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 integrity |
| Switching Speed | tON = 150ns, tOFF = 100ns - supports multiplexing at >1MHz update rates in data acquisition |
| Logic Compatibility | CMOS-input with V+ reference - eliminates need for level-shifting when driven from same-supply microcontrollers |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 surface-mount package (3.0mm × 1.75mm × 1.3mm), lead-free and RoHS-compliant, optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - COM | Analog common terminal | Bidirectional signal path node; connects to load or source in NC configuration |
| 2 - NC | Analog normally closed terminal | Internally connected to COM when IN = LOW; breaks connection when IN = HIGH |
| 3 - V− | Negative analog/digital supply | Sets lower rail of analog signal range and biases internal ESD diodes and logic translator |
| 4 - IN | Digital control input | CMOS-compatible logic input referenced to V+; HIGH opens switch, LOW maintains closure |
| 5 - V+ | Positive analog/digital supply | Sets upper rail of analog signal range and powers internal logic; no ground pin required |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4504ESA | Same functionality and pinout; extended temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) vs. MAX4504CSA (0°C to +70°C) | Suitable for industrial or automotive under-hood environments requiring wider thermal stability | Select MAX4504ESA when operating ambient exceeds +70°C or requires AEC-Q200 alignment |
| ADG1419BRMZ | SPST NC switch with higher supply range (±15V), 3.5Ω on-resistance, but requires ground pin and consumes 120µA supply current | Better for high-voltage industrial PLC I/O modules; unsuitable for ultra-low-power battery systems | Choose ADG1419BRMZ only when ±15V operation and sub-5Ω RON outweigh size, power, and ground-pin constraints |
Compared with MAX4504CSA, MAX4504ESA offers identical electrical behavior with enhanced thermal robustness, while ADG1419BRMZ trades ultra-low leakage and groundless operation for higher voltage capability and lower on-resistance - making MAX4504CSA optimal for compact, battery-powered, ground-isolated signal routing.

FAQ
What is the default switch state of the MAX4504CSA?
The MAX4504CSA is a normally closed (NC) analog switch: it conducts between COM and NC terminals when the IN pin is logic LOW (≤ V− + 1.5V). Applying a logic HIGH (≥ V+ − 1.5V) to IN opens the path. This default-closed behavior ensures signal continuity during power-up or MCU reset, preventing silent audio paths or open sensor loops in safety-critical portable systems. The MAX4504CSA achieves this using internal transmission-gate biasing without requiring external pull-up resistors.
Does the MAX4504CSA require a ground connection?
No, the MAX4504CSA has no ground pin and operates with only V+ and V− supply connections. Its digital input is internally referenced to V+, and all ESD protection diodes connect to V+ and V− - enabling true floating operation in isolated or split-rail systems. This eliminates ground-loop risks in medical instrumentation or battery-powered devices where ground references are unstable or absent. The MAX4504CSA's architecture inherently avoids the need for level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with same-supply microcontrollers.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage the MAX4504CSA can handle?
The MAX4504CSA supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+, with absolute maximum ratings allowing V+ up to +13V and any signal pin up to (V+ + 0.3V) or −0.3V (referenced to V−). Under normal operation with ±5V supplies, it reliably passes ±4.5V signals without distortion or clipping. Exceeding V+ or V− activates internal ESD diodes, limiting forward current to ±10mA - so external series resistors are recommended if transient overvoltage is possible. This rail-to-rail capability makes the MAX4504CSA suitable for full-scale audio, sensor, and communication signal routing.
How does charge injection affect performance in the MAX4504CSA?
The MAX4504CSA guarantees ≤10pC maximum charge injection, which causes a voltage glitch (∆VOUT = Q / CL) on capacitive nodes like ADC sample-and-hold capacitors or filter integrators. For example, with a 100pF hold capacitor, worst-case 10pC injection yields only 100mV error - manageable via blanking or calibration. This low value results from matched transistor geometry and symmetric layout in the MAX4504CSA's CMOS transmission gate, making it suitable for 12–16-bit data acquisition where switching-induced errors must be minimized. Charge injection is characterized across VCOM and temperature per Figure MAX4503-03.
Can the MAX4504CSA be used with single-supply systems?
The MAX4504CSA is designed for dual-supply operation (±1V to ±6V) and is not rated for true single-supply use (e.g., 0V to +5V). However, it can function with V− = 0V and V+ = +5V, provided the analog signal stays within 0V to +5V and logic thresholds are adjusted accordingly - though leakage and on-resistance degrade versus symmetric supplies. For dedicated single-supply applications, Maxim specifies the pin-compatible MAX4502 (NC version) and MAX4501 (NO version) as drop-in replacements. Using MAX4504CSA in single-supply mode voids guaranteed specs and is not recommended for production designs requiring full parameter compliance.
