Product details
Overview
The MAX4525CUB from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage, single-supply, double-pole/double-throw (DPDT) analog switch in a 10-pin µMAX package, featuring 200Ω on-resistance at +5V, 2nA max on-leakage at +25°C, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling - used for precision audio/video routing and low-power data-acquisition multiplexing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4525CUB datasheet, MAX4525CUB pinout, MAX4525CUB application, or MAX4525CUB equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, truth-table–validated switching behavior, thermal performance across 0°C to +70°C, and real-world design implications of its inhibit-controlled DPDT architecture and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds.
Technical Context
The MAX4525CUB implements a dual independent SPDT switch (COMA/NOA/NCA and COMB/NOB/NCB) with shared digital control: ADD and INH inputs govern channel selection and global disable. Its CMOS transmission-gate structure enables bidirectional signal flow with no ground reference required for analog paths.
Switching is governed by break-before-make timing (typ. 5ns at +5V), charge injection ≤5pC, and flat on-resistance (≤12Ω variation over 0V–4.5V signal range), ensuring minimal distortion in audio-band and DC-coupled sensor interfaces without external biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | +2V to +12V single supply - supports battery-powered systems down to 2V while maintaining functional logic thresholds. |
| On-Resistance (V+ = +5V) | 200Ω - enables <1% gain error in 50kΩ impedance circuits; matched within 8Ω between channels. |
| Off-Leakage (TA = +25°C) | ≤2nA - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends and sample-hold circuits. |
| Logic Thresholds | VIH = 1.5V–2.4V, VIL = 0.8V–1.5V - ensures reliable TTL/CMOS compatibility with +5V supply without level-shifting. |
| Signal Range | Rail-to-rail (GND to V+) - allows full-scale analog pass-through without clipping in unipolar systems. |
| Turn-On/Off Time | tON = 200ns, tOFF = 180ns (RL = 300Ω, CL = 35pF) - suitable for multiplexing up to ~1MHz sampling rates. |
| Crosstalk (f = 1MHz) | −74dB - suppresses inter-channel interference in multi-signal routing applications like stereo audio switching. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin µMAX (3mm × 3mm, 0.6mm height), lead-free, exposed pad not connected (N.C.). Pin pitch: 0.5mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive supply input | Powers internal CMOS switches and logic; sets upper analog voltage limit; ESD diode to GND. |
| GND | Digital/analog reference | Reference for logic inputs and lower analog limit; no direct connection to analog signal paths. |
| INH | Inhibit control input | Active-high global disable: drives all switches open when high; TTL/CMOS compatible at +5V. |
| ADDA / ADDB | Address select inputs | Binary-coded control for DPDT state: ADDA selects COMA path, ADDB selects COMB path (see truth table). |
| COMA / COMB | Common terminals (Pole) | Bidirectional analog I/O nodes; each connects to NOA/NCA or NOB/NCB based on ADD state. |
| NOA / NOB | Normally open outputs | Connect to COMA/COMB only when respective ADD bit = 1; otherwise high-impedance. |
| NCA / NCB | Normally closed outputs | Connect to COMA/COMB only when respective ADD bit = 0; otherwise high-impedance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-supply operation | Eliminates need for dual ±5V rails - reduces BOM count and PCB area in portable instrumentation. |
| Guaranteed on-resistance match | ≤8Ω channel-to-channel RON mismatch at +5V - critical for differential signal integrity and ratiometric measurements. |
| Tiny µMAX footprint | 3mm × 3mm body with 0.5mm pitch - enables dense routing in space-constrained handheld devices. |
| Rail-to-rail analog capability | Supports 0V to V+ signal swing without clamping - essential for DC-coupled sensor interfaces and audio line-level signals. |
| Low charge injection | ≤5pC - minimizes voltage glitch on sampled nodes, improving accuracy in ADC front-end multiplexers. |
Applications
| Audio Signal Routing | Portable Data Acquisition |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4675EUB | Higher on-resistance (350Ω @ +5V), wider temp range (−40°C to +85°C), same µMAX package. | Better suited for industrial environments requiring extended temperature operation. | Select MAX4675EUB when operating beyond 0°C–+70°C or when higher RON is acceptable for cost optimization. |
| TMUX6219RUCR | Lower on-resistance (1.8Ω @ +5V), higher supply max (+36V), 10-pin WQFN (2.5mm × 2.5mm), no inhibit pin. | Targeted at precision instrumentation needing ultra-low RON and wide supply range, but lacks global disable. | Choose TMUX6219RUCR for high-accuracy, high-voltage multiplexing where inhibit functionality is not required. |
Compared with MAX4525CUB, MAX4675EUB trades lower cost and extended temperature rating for higher on-resistance, while TMUX6219RUCR offers dramatically lower RON and wider voltage range but removes the critical inhibit function and shrinks the package - making MAX4525CUB optimal for compact, battery-powered systems needing guaranteed disable safety and balanced performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MAX4525CUB?
The MAX4525CUB is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range is clearly indicated in the Ordering Information table and confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section. The 'C' suffix in MAX4525CUB denotes the 0°C to +70°C grade, distinct from the 'E' grade (−40°C to +85°C) variants like MAX4525EUB. Thermal derating begins above +70°C per the 4.1mW/°C specification for the µMAX package.
Does the MAX4525CUB support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, the MAX4525CUB supports rail-to-rail analog signal switching - meaning it can pass signals from GND to V+ without clipping or distortion. This is explicitly stated in the General Description and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics tables, where the Analog Signal Range is specified as V− to V+ (with V− = GND). This capability is essential for DC-coupled applications such as sensor interfaces and audio line drivers where signal headroom must be preserved.
What is the on-resistance of the MAX4525CUB at +3V supply?
The on-resistance of the MAX4525CUB at a +3V supply is 500Ω, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for Single +3V Supply. This value is measured under standard conditions (V+ = 3.6V, ICOM = 0.1mA, VCOM = 1.5V) and represents the typical channel resistance. The datasheet also shows that RON increases significantly below +3V, dropping to usable levels only above ~1.7V, though performance degrades rapidly below the rated minimum of +2V.
How does the INH (inhibit) pin function on the MAX4525CUB?
The INH pin on the MAX4525CUB is an active-high global disable input. When INH is driven high (≥2.4V at +5V supply), all internal switches open simultaneously, disconnecting all analog paths regardless of ADDA/ADDB states. When INH is low (≤0.8V), normal address-controlled switching resumes. This feature provides fail-safe signal isolation and is electrically compatible with TTL/CMOS logic levels when operating from a +5V supply.
Is the MAX4525CUB pin-compatible with the MAX4524CUB?
No, the MAX4525CUB is not pin-compatible with the MAX4524CUB. Although both use the same 10-pin µMAX package, their pin functions differ: MAX4524CUB is a 4-channel multiplexer with pins NO0–NO3 and single COM, while MAX4525CUB is a DPDT switch with dual COM/NO/NC pairs (COMA/NOA/NCA and COMB/NOB/NCB) and separate ADDA/ADDB address inputs. The pinout diagrams and truth tables in the datasheet confirm distinct terminal assignments - direct substitution would result in incorrect signal routing.
