Product details
Overview
MAX4526CSA+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-speed phase-reversal analog switch IC configured as a bridge-connected dual SPDT switch for polarity inversion in precision analog signal paths. It operates from ±4.5V to ±18V dual supplies (or +4.5V to +36V single supply), delivers 175Ω max on-resistance with 8Ω matching, <100ns transition time at ±15V, and rail-to-rail signal handling - enabling chopper-stabilized amplifier front-ends requiring low charge injection (10pC max) and guaranteed break-before-make switching.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4526CSA+ datasheet, MAX4526CSA+ pinout, MAX4526CSA+ application, or MAX4526CSA+ equivalent, this device is selected for DC/low-frequency phase reversal where analog symmetry, leakage-limited offset stability (<0.5nA @ +25°C), and TTL/CMOS-compatible control are critical in test equipment, balanced modulators, and self-calibrating data acquisition systems.
Technical Context
The MAX4526CSA+ implements a fully integrated CMOS bridge topology with two normally open and two normally closed switches, enabling true differential signal polarity reversal under single logic control (IN pin). Its internal logic-level translator drives N- and P-channel MOSFET gates with out-of-phase signals referenced to V+ and V−, eliminating ground reference for analog paths.
It features matched on-resistance flatness (12Ω typ), 65dB off-isolation at 1MHz, and 13pF off-capacitance - all specified across −40°C to +85°C operation. The device guarantees break-before-make timing (1–5ns) and supports bipolar supplies up to ±18V (sum ≤44V), with ESD protection >2kV per Method 3015.7.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±18V dual or +4.5V to +36V single - enables direct interface with ±15V op-amp rails and industrial single-supply systems. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 175Ω max at ±15V - ensures minimal gain error and thermal drift in precision gain-setting or feedback paths. |
| On-Resistance Match (∆RON) | 8Ω max - maintains amplitude balance between inverted/non-inverted signal paths for <0.1% gain mismatch. |
| Charge Injection | 10pC max - limits voltage glitch on high-impedance nodes (e.g., integrator capacitors), preserving chopper amplifier zeroing accuracy. |
| Transition Time | <100ns at ±15V - supports carrier frequencies up to 100kHz in balanced modulator/demodulator applications. |
| Leakage Current | 0.5nA max @ +25°C - minimizes input bias current errors in picoampere-level sensor interfaces and electrometer circuits. |
| Logic Thresholds | 0.8V to 2.4V - ensures robust TTL/CMOS compatibility without level-shifting across supply voltages from 4.5V to 36V. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4526CSA+ is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (3.05mm × 3.05mm × 0.95mm), pin-compatible with SO and DIP variants but optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts with improved thermal resistance (derate 4.1mW/°C above +70°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A) | Analog input terminal A | Connected to Y when IN = LOW; to X when IN = HIGH - forms one half of the phase-reversal pair with B. |
| 2 (B) | Analog input terminal B | Connected to X when IN = LOW; to Y when IN = HIGH - complementary path to A for balanced signal routing. |
| 3 (GND) | Digital ground reference | Reference for logic inputs only; analog paths are floating between V+ and V− - requires separation from analog ground planes. |
| 4 (IN) | Logic control input | TTL/CMOS-compatible digital signal controlling phase state; accepts voltages down to V− (e.g., −15V) with no clamping diode to GND. |
| 5 (V−) | Negative analog supply | Sets lower analog signal limit; tied to GND for single-supply operation - internal ESD diodes conduct if analog signals exceed V−. |
| 6 (Y) | Analog output terminal Y | Output node for inverted or non-inverted signal depending on IN state; bidirectional with full rail-to-rail capability. |
| 7 (X) | Analog output terminal X | Complementary output to Y; AC symmetry optimized when X/Y are outputs and A/B are inputs per layout guidance. |
| 8 (V+) | Positive analog/digital supply | Powers analog switches and internal logic; internally connected to substrate - must be bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Analog signals swing from V− to V+ without clipping - supports full dynamic range of ±15V op-amps and ADC drivers. |
| Guaranteed break-before-make | 1–5ns minimum delay prevents momentary short-circuit between X and Y during switching - essential for avoiding signal transients in feedback loops. |
| 10pC max charge injection | Minimizes voltage step on high-Z nodes (e.g., 10nF integrators), limiting chopper amplifier offset error to <100µV per switch event. |
| 2pC max charge-injection match | Ensures matched transient glitches between A-X/B-Y paths - critical for common-mode rejection in differential chopper topologies. |
| >2kV ESD protection | Robustness against handling and board-level ESD events per Method 3015.7 - reduces field failure risk in test equipment and lab instrumentation. |
| 8-pin µMAX package | 3.05mm × 3.05mm footprint with exposed pad option - enables compact placement near precision op-amps while maintaining thermal performance (330mW max @ +70°C). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar phase-reversal analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4527CSA+ | Identical analog switch architecture and RON/leakage specs, but slower transition time (250ns vs. <100ns) and lower supply current (1µA vs. 1.5mA @ +25°C). | Optimized for battery-powered or low-power chopper systems where speed is secondary to quiescent current. | Select MAX4527CSA+ only when transition time >200ns is acceptable and supply current must stay below 2µA. |
| ADG1419BRMZ | Single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch with 1.5Ω RON and 1.5pC charge injection, but lacks integrated bridge topology - requires external wiring for phase reversal. | Used in high-precision, low-RON applications where discrete bridge implementation is acceptable and board area permits extra passives. | Choose ADG1419BRMZ only when ultra-low on-resistance (<2Ω) and charge injection (<2pC) outweigh the need for monolithic phase-reversal integration. |
Compared with MAX4527CSA+, the MAX4526CSA+ provides 2.5× faster switching for higher chopper frequencies, while ADG1419BRMZ offers lower RON and charge injection but demands external circuitry to achieve phase reversal - making MAX4526CSA+ optimal for space- and timing-critical monolithic implementations.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX4526CSA+?
The MAX4526CSA+ is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C. This extended industrial temperature range ensures reliable performance in demanding environments such as automated test equipment and industrial data loggers. All key specifications - including on-resistance, leakage current, and transition time - are guaranteed across this full range, with typical values characterized at +25°C.
Can MAX4526CSA+ operate from a single supply?
Yes, MAX4526CSA+ supports single-supply operation from +4.5V to +36V by connecting V− to GND. In this configuration, analog signals swing from 0V to V+, and the logic input (IN) remains compatible with TTL/CMOS levels. However, bipolar supply operation (±4.5V to ±18V) is recommended for optimal AC symmetry and chopper amplifier performance, as factory characterization was performed at ±15V.
What does "guaranteed break-before-make" mean for MAX4526CSA+?
Guaranteed break-before-make in MAX4526CSA+ means the internal switches physically disconnect one path (e.g., A–X) before connecting the alternate path (A–Y), with a minimum 1ns delay between break and make events. This prevents momentary short-circuits between X and Y terminals, eliminating signal transients in sensitive feedback networks - a critical requirement in chopper amplifier integrator stages.
How is charge injection specified for MAX4526CSA+, and why does it matter?
MAX4526CSA+ specifies maximum charge injection as 10pC, measured with CL = 1.0nF and RS = 0Ω. This parameter quantifies the unwanted voltage glitch induced on high-impedance nodes (e.g., integrator capacitors) during switching. In chopper-stabilized amplifiers, low charge injection directly determines residual offset error after auto-zero cycles - making this spec essential for sub-microvolt DC precision.
Is MAX4526CSA+ pin-compatible with other packages in the MAX4526 family?
Yes, MAX4526CSA+ shares identical pinout and functionality with MAX4526CPA (8-pin DIP) and MAX4526CUA (8-pin µMAX), differing only in package type and thermal characteristics. All three variants use the same 8-pin configuration (A, B, GND, IN, V−, Y, X, V+) and support identical electrical operation - enabling drop-in replacement during prototyping or redesign based on board space and thermal requirements.
