Product details
Overview
MAX4522CSE from Maxim Integrated is a quad, low-voltage, normally open (NO) SPST analog switch IC designed for rail-to-rail signal routing in precision analog and mixed-signal systems. It features 100Ω max on-resistance (at ±5V), 4Ω max channel-to-channel on-resistance matching, <1µW quiescent power, and operates from single +2.7V to +12V or dual ±2V to ±6V supplies. It is used in audio signal routing, data acquisition, and battery-powered test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4522CSE datasheet, MAX4522CSE pinout, MAX4522CSE application, or MAX4522CSE equivalent, key selection considerations include its NO configuration, 16-pin narrow SO package, TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds, ESD-hardened design (>2kV per Method 3015.7), and verified rail-to-rail analog handling with flat on-resistance over signal range.
Technical Context
The MAX4522CSE implements four independent CMOS transmission gates, each driven by complementary N- and P-channel MOSFETs controlled via logic-level translators that convert TTL/CMOS inputs into full-rail gate drive signals referenced to V+ and V−. Its architecture enables true bidirectional analog conduction with no ground reference required for signal paths.
All four switches are normally open (NO), meaning they conduct only when the corresponding INx input is logic high (≥2.4V at +5V supply). The device supports bipolar operation down to ±2V and single-supply operation as low as +2.7V, with guaranteed performance across 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 100Ω max at ±5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in low-current analog paths |
| On-Resistance Match (ΔRON) | 4Ω max between channels - critical for matched gain/attenuation in multi-channel instrumentation |
| On-Resistance Flatness | 12Ω max over signal range - maintains consistent gain and linearity across full ±4.5V analog swing |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA at +25°C, 10nA at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| Logic Thresholds | VIN_L ≤ 1.6V, VIN_H ≥ 1.6V - guarantees reliable TTL/CMOS compatibility with +5V or ±5V supplies |
| ESD Protection | >2kV per Method 3015.7 - provides robust handling in manufacturing and field environments without external protection |
| Supply Range | +2.7V to +12V single or ±2V to ±6V dual - supports wide battery and industrial supply configurations |
Pinout & Package
MAX4522CSE is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package (S16-2), 3.9mm body width, with gull-wing leads and standard JEDEC MS-012 footprint. Pin 1 is marked with a notch or dot; pin 11 is V+, pin 4 is V−, pin 5 is GND, and pins 12 and 10 are N.C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 (Pins 15, 14, 7, 6) | Digital control input | Active-high logic inputs controlling respective NO switches; compatible with TTL/CMOS levels |
| COM1–COM4 (Pins 16, 13, 2, 8) | Analog common terminal | Bidirectional analog node - connects to load or source; no internal ground reference |
| NO1–NO4 (Pins 1, 12, 11, 9) | Normally open analog terminal | Open-circuit when INx = low; closes to COMx when INx = high; interchangeable with COMx |
| V+ (Pin 11) | Positive supply | Powers analog switches and internal logic; internally connected to substrate; EP must be tied to V+ |
| V− (Pin 4) | Negative supply | Sets lower analog rail limit; connect to GND for single-supply operation |
| GND (Pin 5) | Digital ground reference | Reference for logic inputs only; no connection to analog signal paths |
| N.C. (Pins 10, 12*) | No internal connection | Not bonded; must be left unconnected or tied to GND/V+ per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports signals from V− to V+ without clipping - essential for full-scale sensor and audio applications |
| Low on-resistance flatness (12Ω max) | Minimizes harmonic distortion and gain error across signal range - improves THD in audio paths |
| 4Ω max on-resistance matching | Enables precise channel balancing in differential or multi-path signal conditioning circuits |
| Pin compatibility with DG211/DG212/DG213 | Allows drop-in replacement in legacy designs using industry-standard quad SPST switch footprints |
| Charge injection ≤5pC | Reduces glitch-induced settling errors in sample-and-hold and multiplexed ADC front-ends |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1421BRUZ | Higher RON (1.8Ω typ at ±15V), wider supply (±5V to ±16.5V), but higher leakage (20nA @ +85°C) | Better for high-voltage industrial systems; less suitable for low-leakage sensor front-ends | Choose ADG1421BRUZ when operating above ±6V or requiring sub-2Ω RON; avoid for battery-powered low-leakage designs. |
| TS5A23157DGSR | Lower RON (0.9Ω typ at +3.3V), smaller 10-pin VSSOP, but limited to +1.65V to +3.6V single supply only | Optimized for ultra-low-voltage portable electronics; not compatible with bipolar or >+3.6V operation | Choose TS5A23157DGSR for space-constrained, single-supply 3.3V systems; use MAX4522CSE for flexibility across supply domains. |
Compared with ADG1421BRUZ and TS5A23157DGSR, the MAX4522CSE uniquely balances wide supply range (+2.7V to +12V / ±2V to ±6V), low leakage (1nA @ +25°C), and proven pin compatibility with legacy DG-series switches - making it optimal for upgrade paths in existing industrial and test equipment designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal range supported by the MAX4522CSE?
The MAX4522CSE supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+. With ±5V dual supplies, this is ±4.5V; with +5V single supply (V− = GND), it is 0V to +4.5V. The absolute maximum analog voltage on any pin is (V− − 0.3V) to (V+ + 0.3V), per Absolute Maximum Ratings. This range is maintained across the full 0°C to +70°C operating temperature.
Is the MAX4522CSE pin-compatible with the DG212 analog switch?
Yes, the MAX4522CSE is explicitly documented as pin-compatible with the industry-standard DG212. Both use the same 16-pin SO package (S16-2) and identical pin functions: IN1–IN4, COM1–COM4, NO1–NO4, V+, V−, GND, and N.C. This allows direct replacement in existing DG212-based layouts without PCB modification.
What is the typical on-resistance flatness of the MAX4522CSE at +25°C?
The MAX4522CSE has a maximum on-resistance flatness of 12Ω over the specified analog signal range, measured as the difference between maximum and minimum RON values. At +25°C and ±5V supplies, typical flatness is 7Ω - ensuring minimal gain variation across the full ±4.5V signal swing, critical for audio and precision measurement applications.
Does the MAX4522CSE require external ESD protection in typical PCB layouts?
No, the MAX4522CSE integrates >2kV ESD protection per Method 3015.7 on all analog and digital pins. This built-in protection eliminates the need for external TVS diodes or series resistors in most industrial and portable applications, reducing BOM count and board area while maintaining robust handling during assembly and field use.
Can the MAX4522CSE operate from a single +3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX4522CSE is fully specified for single +2.7V operation. At +3.3V, it delivers typical on-resistance of 250Ω (max 500Ω), logic thresholds of 0.8V/1.6V, and turn-on time of 120ns - making it suitable for low-voltage embedded systems. All electrical characteristics in the +3V supply table are guaranteed over 0°C to +70°C for the MAX4522CSE variant.
