Product details
Overview
MAX4509ESE+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual 4-to-1 fault-protected analog multiplexer in 16-pin narrow SOIC package, operating from ±4.5V to ±20V dual supplies or +9V to +36V single supply. It delivers rail-to-rail signal handling, ±25V overvoltage protection with supplies on, 400Ω max on-resistance, and 20ns fault-response time-enabling robust signal routing in industrial data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4509ESE+ datasheet, MAX4509ESE+ pinout, MAX4509ESE+ application, or MAX4509ESE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include fault-protection voltage thresholds (±40V power-off), channel matching (≤15Ω ΔRON), TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs, break-before-make timing (400ns), and dual 4-channel architecture with independent COMA/COMB outputs.
Technical Context
The MAX4509ESE+ implements parallel N- and P-channel FET switching per channel to achieve low on-resistance and true rail-to-rail analog conduction. Its dual comparator-based fault detection clamps COM outputs to V+ or V− within 20ns when NO inputs exceed rails by >150mV.
Fault response is asymmetric: positive faults clamp COM to V+ via P2 FET; negative faults clamp COM to V− via N2 FET. During fault conditions, output clamp resistance is 1kΩ (supplies on) and ±10mA sourcing/sinking capability is maintained at COM pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±20V dual or +9V to +36V single - supports wide industrial and avionics rail configurations |
| On-Resistance (max) | 400Ω - ensures minimal signal attenuation and thermal drift in precision analog paths |
| ΔRON (max) | 15Ω - guarantees matched gain/phase across channels in differential or multi-path routing |
| Fault Protection | ±25V with supplies on, ±40V with supplies off - protects downstream circuitry during hot-swap or sensor fault events |
| Fault Response Time | 20ns - enables real-time clamping before transient energy damages connected ADCs or amplifiers |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.4V @ +12V supply) - eliminates level-shifter requirements in mixed-voltage systems |
| Break-Before-Make | 400ns - prevents momentary shorting between input channels during address transitions |
Pinout & Package
MAX4509ESE+ uses a 16-pin narrow SOIC (S16-8) package with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official pin configuration diagram for MAX4509.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 16 | A0, A1 | Binary address inputs selecting one of four channels per mux section (A or B) |
| 2 | EN | Active-high enable controlling both 4-to-1 sections simultaneously |
| 3, 13 | V−, V+ | Separate negative/positive supply rails powering analog switches and internal logic |
| 4, 13–10 | NO1A–NO4A, NO1B–NO4B | Eight independent analog inputs (four per section), each fault-protected up to ±40V |
| 8, 9 | COMA, COMB | Dual analog outputs - not fault-protected; must remain within V− to V+ range |
| 14 | GND | Digital ground reference for logic interface; isolated from analog signal path |
| 15 | A2 | Not connected (NC) in MAX4509 - reserved for MAX4508's 8-to-1 decoding |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports full-swing analog signals from V− to V+ without clipping or distortion |
| No power-supply sequencing required | Enables flexible system power-up order - V+, V−, and logic can be applied independently |
| All channels off with power off | Prevents backfeeding or latch-up when main supplies are removed but NO inputs remain active |
| Output clamped to supply during fault | COM outputs held at V+ or V− instead of floating, preserving downstream bias points |
| 1kΩ output clamp resistance | Limits fault current to safe levels (<30mA) while maintaining signal integrity under overvoltage |
Applications
| Data-Acquisition Systems | Industrial Process Control |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fault-protected analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG509FBRZ | Single-supply only (+15V max); ±20V fault protection; 700Ω RON; no rail-to-rail operation | Lower voltage industrial sensing only; unsuitable for ±15V avionics or bipolar process control | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs fault margin and rail-to-rail performance |
| TS5A3159DCKR | Single 2-channel SPDT; ±5.5V max supply; ±6V fault rating; 0.75Ω RON; no output clamping | Low-voltage portable instrumentation only; lacks dual 4-to-1 architecture and high-voltage fault recovery | Select only for battery-powered, sub-6V systems requiring ultra-low RON, not fault protection |
Compared with ADG509FBRZ and TS5A3159DCKR, MAX4509ESE+ uniquely combines dual 4-to-1 topology, ±40V power-off fault tolerance, rail-to-rail conduction, and integrated output clamping - making it the sole option for high-reliability, wide-supply industrial and avionics multiplexing where signal integrity under fault must be preserved without external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum fault voltage the MAX4509ESE+ can withstand with power supplies turned off?
The MAX4509ESE+ withstands ±40V fault voltage on its NO_ pins with all supplies disconnected (V+ = V− = 0). This is verified per Maxim's Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies regardless of COM load configuration. The device enters high-impedance state on NO_ pins during such faults, preventing current flow into internal circuitry. This capability makes MAX4509ESE+ suitable for maintenance scenarios where sensors remain live while system power is removed.
Does the MAX4509ESE+ support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, the MAX4509ESE+ supports true rail-to-rail analog signal conduction - signals from V− to V+ pass through the switch with minimal distortion or clipping. This is achieved via parallel N- and P-channel FET architecture, unlike traditional three-FET fault-protected switches that limit dynamic range. Verified in Typical Operating Characteristics plots (Figure MAX4508/09toc01–04), rail-to-rail operation holds across ±4.5V to ±20V dual supplies and +9V to +36V single supplies.
How does the MAX4509ESE+ behave during a positive overvoltage fault on an NO input?
When an NO input exceeds V+ by >150mV, the MAX4509ESE+'s internal positive fault comparator triggers, turning off N1 and P1 FETs and activating P2 to clamp COM to V+. This occurs within 20ns. If the switch is off, both NO and COM go high-impedance; if on, COM is actively clamped at V+ with 1kΩ effective resistance. Recovery to normal operation takes ~2.5µs after the fault clears, as confirmed in Figure MAX4508/09toc09.
Can the MAX4509ESE+ operate from a single +12V supply?
Yes, the MAX4509ESE+ operates from a single +12V supply with V− tied to GND. Electrical characteristics are fully specified in the "Single +12V Supply" section: on-resistance remains ≤950Ω, logic thresholds hold (VIL ≤ 1.8V, VIH ≥ 1.8V), and fault protection sustains ±25V on NO pins. This configuration is validated for industrial sensor interfaces and portable test equipment where dual supplies are impractical.
Are the COM pins of the MAX4509ESE+ fault-protected?
No, the COMA and COMB pins of the MAX4509ESE+ are not fault-protected. Per Maxim's Detailed Description and Absolute Maximum Ratings, exceeding V+ or V− at COM pins forward-biases internal ESD diodes, risking permanent damage. Users must ensure COM loads remain within V− to V+ - e.g., by using series resistors or op-amp buffers. This limitation is explicitly stated in Note 1 and the "COM and A_" subsection of the datasheet.
