Product details
Overview
MAX4516CSA+T from Maxim Integrated is a single-pole/single-throw (SPST), normally open (NO), CMOS analog switch optimized for low-voltage dual-supply operation. It delivers 20Ω on-resistance at ±5V, 1nA off-leakage at +25°C, and rail-to-rail signal handling up to ±6V - enabling precision signal routing in battery-powered audio and data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4516CSA+T datasheet, MAX4516CSA+T pinout, MAX4516CSA+T application, or MAX4516CSA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed low on-resistance flatness (6Ω), fast switching (tON = 100ns), charge injection ≤20pC, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4516CSA+T uses a dual-supply CMOS architecture with V+ and V− pins powering both analog switch gates and internal logic-level translators. Its NO configuration ensures open-circuit default state, eliminating unintended signal paths during power-up or control loss.
All analog terminals (COM, NO, IN) support rail-to-rail voltage swing between V− and V+, while internal ESD diodes clamp signals exceeding supply rails. Logic input is referenced to V+, requiring CMOS-compatible thresholds (e.g., VIH ≈ V+ − 1.5V at +5V supply), not TTL-level compatibility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 20Ω max at ±5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and distortion in precision analog paths |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor or sample-hold circuits |
| Charge Injection | 20pC max - limits voltage glitch on COM node during switching, critical for ADC front-ends |
| Switching Speed | tON = 100ns, tOFF = 75ns - supports >1MHz multiplexing without timing bottlenecks |
| Supply Range | ±1V to ±6V dual supply - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (±2.5V) to industrial ±5V rails |
| Analog Signal Range | Rail-to-rail (V− to V+) - accommodates full-scale signals without clipping in audio or instrumentation |
| Logic Compatibility | CMOS input referenced to V+ - eliminates need for level shifters when driven by same-supply controllers |
Pinout & Package
MAX4516CSA+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with exposed pad omitted. Pin 1 = IN (digital control), Pin 2 = V−, Pin 3 = NO (normally open switch terminal), Pin 4 = V+, Pin 5 = COM (common analog terminal). No internal connections exist on unused pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Digital control input | CMOS-compatible logic signal referenced to V+; HIGH closes switch (NO→COM) |
| V− | Negative analog/digital supply | Sets lower rail for analog signal range and powers internal switch transistors |
| NO | Normally open analog terminal | Open-circuit by default; connects to COM only when IN = HIGH |
| V+ | Positive analog/digital supply | Sets upper rail for analog signal range and powers internal logic translators |
| COM | Common analog terminal | Bidirectional signal path; connects to NO when switch is active; no polarity restriction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low on-resistance flatness | 6Ω max across signal range - maintains consistent gain/attenuation in variable-gain or filter-switching applications |
| Guaranteed leakage performance | 1nA off-leakage at +25°C - validated 100% at hot temperature, ensuring reliability in extended-range designs |
| Fast turn-on vs. turn-off asymmetry | tON > tOFF at ±5V - reduces overlap conduction risk in break-before-make sequencing |
| ESD robustness | >2000V per Method 3015.7 - protects against handling damage in manual assembly and field service |
| Small-footprint packaging | SOT23-5 footprint (2.8mm × 2.9mm) - saves board area in PCMCIA, cellular phone, and wearable modules |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4514CSA+T | Single-supply only (+2V to +12V); no V− pin; logic threshold referenced to GND | Requires ground-referenced control logic; unsuitable for true bipolar signal routing | Select when system uses only positive supply and analog signals stay ≥0V |
| ADG1419BRMZ-REEL7 | Higher RON (3.8Ω typ), wider temp range (−40°C to +125°C), SPI interface | Includes fault protection and diagnostic reporting; not pin-compatible | Select when enhanced reliability, diagnostics, or extended temperature operation is required |
Compared with MAX4514CSA+T and ADG1419BRMZ-REEL7, the MAX4516CSA+T uniquely balances ultra-low leakage, dual-supply flexibility, and SOT23-5 size - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, bipolar-signal applications where precision and simplicity are prioritized over programmability or extended temperature range.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage range supported by the MAX4516CSA+T?
The MAX4516CSA+T operates with dual supplies from ±1V up to ±6V. Absolute maximum ratings allow V+ up to +13V and V− down to −0.3V relative to ground, but guaranteed performance (including RON, leakage, and timing) is specified only for ±5V operation per the datasheet. Exceeding ±6V risks parametric degradation or reliability issues.
Is the MAX4516CSA+T pin-compatible with the MAX4517CSA+T?
No, the MAX4516CSA+T and MAX4517CSA+T share identical pinout and package (SOT23-5), but differ functionally: MAX4516CSA+T is normally open (NO), while MAX4517CSA+T is normally closed (NC). Swapping them requires logic inversion or redesign of control timing to maintain correct default state behavior.
Does the MAX4516CSA+T require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on the IN pin?
No. The MAX4516CSA+T features CMOS-compatible input structure referenced to V+, with guaranteed VIH ≥ V+ − 1.5V and VIL ≤ V+ − 3.5V at +5V supply. Driving IN directly from a same-supply microcontroller GPIO (e.g., 0V/5V) meets logic thresholds without external biasing components.
Can the MAX4516CSA+T handle AC-coupled signals that swing below V−?
No. The MAX4516CSA+T supports only rail-to-rail analog signals between V− and V+. Signals below V− forward-bias internal ESD diodes, causing excessive leakage or potential damage. For sub-rail signals, level-shifting or alternative switches with extended common-mode range must be used.
What is the thermal performance of the MAX4516CSA+T in SOT23-5 package?
The MAX4516CSA+T in SOT23-5 has a thermal resistance θJA of ~141°C/W (calculated from 571mW max dissipation at +70°C ambient and 7.1mW/°C derating). At 1mA load and ±5V supply, typical power dissipation is <1mW, resulting in negligible self-heating - making it suitable for thermally sensitive portable applications.
