Product details
Overview
MAX4527CPA+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, phase-reversal analog switch IC configured as a bridge of two normally open and two normally closed CMOS switches. It operates from +4.5V to +36V single supply or ±4.5V to ±18V dual supplies, delivers 175Ω max on-resistance with 8Ω matching, handles rail-to-rail analog signals (V− to V+), and consumes only 1µA at +25°C - ideal for chopper-stabilized amplifiers requiring precision DC reversal.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4527CPA+ datasheet, MAX4527CPA+ pinout, MAX4527CPA+ application, or MAX4527CPA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed break-before-make timing (1–5ns), 10pC max charge injection, ±15V supply compatibility, TTL/CMOS logic thresholds (0.8V–2.4V), and leakage current ≤0.5nA at +25°C - all critical for low-drift, low-noise signal routing in self-calibrating systems.
Technical Context
The MAX4527CPA+ implements a fully integrated bridge topology where analog inputs A and B are routed to outputs X and Y under logic control of the IN pin, enabling true polarity inversion without external components. Its internal logic-level translator drives N- and P-channel MOSFETs out-of-phase using V+ and V−, ensuring symmetrical conduction across the full analog range.
Unlike discrete switch configurations, the device guarantees matched on-resistance flatness (12Ω typ) and charge-injection matching (2pC max), while ESD protection (>2kV per Method 3015.7) and rail-to-rail signal handling (±15V supplies) support robust operation in test equipment and data acquisition front-ends where signal integrity and thermal stability are essential.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | +4.5V to +36V single or ±4.5V to ±18V dual - supports industrial and instrumentation rails without level-shifting. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 175Ω max at ±15V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision DC paths. |
| On-Resistance Match (∆RON) | 8Ω max - critical for balanced modulator carrier suppression and chopper amplifier offset cancellation. |
| Charge Injection | 10pC max - limits voltage glitch on high-impedance nodes (e.g., integrator capacitors in auto-zero circuits). |
| Leakage Current | 0.5nA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in µV-level sensor signal chains and long-time-constant filters. |
| Transition Time | 250ns max at ±15V - sufficient for <100kHz carrier modulation in balanced demodulators. |
| Logic Thresholds | 0.8V low / 2.4V high - ensures reliable TTL/CMOS interfacing across temperature without external biasing. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4527CPA+ uses an 8-pin plastic DIP package (0.300″ wide), with lead finish Pb-free and RoHS-compliant. Pin 1 = A (input), Pin 2 = B (input), Pin 3 = GND (digital ground reference), Pin 4 = IN (logic control), Pin 5 = V− (negative analog supply or GND for single supply), Pin 6 = Y (output), Pin 7 = X (output), Pin 8 = V+ (positive analog/digital supply).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A) | Analog input terminal | Connected to Y when IN = LOW; to X when IN = HIGH - forms one leg of phase-reversal path. |
| 2 (B) | Analog input terminal | Connected to X when IN = LOW; to Y when IN = HIGH - complementary leg for balanced inversion. |
| 3 (GND) | Digital ground reference | Reference for logic circuitry only; analog signals float between V+ and V− with no GND tie. |
| 4 (IN) | Logic-level control input | TTL/CMOS-compatible; controls switch state with guaranteed break-before-make (1–5ns delay). |
| 5 (V−) | Negative analog supply | Set to GND for single-supply operation; defines lower analog signal limit (e.g., −15V in bipolar mode). |
| 6 (Y) | Analog output terminal | Output node carrying inverted or non-inverted signal depending on IN state; rail-to-rail capable. |
| 7 (X) | Analog output terminal | Complementary output to Y; used with Y to deliver differential or phase-reversed outputs. |
| 8 (V+) | Positive analog/digital supply | Powers analog switches and internal logic; internally tied to substrate; sets upper analog signal limit. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog inputs from V− to V+ - enables direct interface with op-amp outputs and sensor bridges without clamping. |
| Guaranteed break-before-make | 1–5ns minimum delay prevents momentary short-circuit during state transition - essential for stable chopper amplifier feedback loops. |
| 10pC max charge injection | Minimizes voltage step on high-Z nodes (e.g., 10nF integrator caps), reducing settling error in auto-zero architectures. |
| 1µA supply current (MAX4527) | Enables battery-powered or energy-constrained applications like portable calibration tools and low-power data loggers. |
| 2pC max charge-injection match | Ensures matched transient errors between A/B paths - critical for common-mode rejection in balanced modulators. |
Applications
| Chopper-Stabilized Amplifiers | Balanced Modulators/Demodulators |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Carrier-frequency modulation of sensor outputs in industrial transmitters with >60dB carrier suppression required. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Balanced analog switch acting as synchronous multiplier, driven by square-wave carrier on IN pin. Use Value: 8Ω RON match and 2pC charge-injection match directly improve carrier suppression beyond −65dB at 100kHz. |
| Data Acquisition Front-Ends | Audio-Signal Routing |
Use Scenario: Multiplexing low-level thermocouple or RTD signals into a shared ADC channel with minimal crosstalk. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage, rail-to-rail analog switch providing selectable gain/inversion paths before programmable gain amplifier. Use Value: 175Ω RON and 13pF COFF ensure bandwidth preservation and minimal settling time (<1µs) for 16-bit resolution. |
Use Scenario: Polarity-selectable routing in studio-grade headphone amplifiers supporting balanced/unbalanced output modes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Phase-reversal element enabling mono-to-differential conversion or polarity inversion for noise cancellation. Use Value: 100kHz small-signal bandwidth and <−65dB off-isolation prevent audible intermodulation distortion in line-level paths. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4526CPA+ | Higher supply current (1.5mA vs. 1µA), faster transition time (95ns vs. 250ns), optimized for >100kHz operation. | Better suited for high-frequency modulators; less suitable for ultra-low-power battery systems. | Select MAX4526CPA+ when speed >100kHz and power budget allows >1mA; otherwise retain MAX4527CPA+ for µA-level operation. |
| ADG1419BRUZ | Single 4-channel SPDT, 1.5Ω RON, but no native phase-reversal topology - requires external wiring for inversion. | Lacks integrated bridge configuration; increases PCB area and layout sensitivity to imbalance. | Choose ADG1419BRUZ only if ultra-low RON is mandatory and board space permits discrete bridge implementation. |
Compared with MAX4526CPA+, the MAX4527CPA+ trades speed for 1000× lower quiescent current - making it optimal for portable calibration and energy-sensitive chopper systems; versus ADG1419BRUZ, it delivers monolithic phase reversal with guaranteed matching, eliminating layout-dependent performance variation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MAX4527CPA+?
The MAX4527CPA+ is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range is specified in the Ordering Information table and applies to all variants with the 'C' suffix. The device's leakage current remains ≤10nA up to +85°C, but full parametric guarantees - including on-resistance match and charge injection - are only assured within the 0°C to +70°C range for the MAX4527CPA+.
Can the MAX4527CPA+ operate from a single +5V supply?
Yes, the MAX4527CPA+ supports single-supply operation from +4.5V to +36V. When using +5V, connect V− to GND. Note that on-resistance increases (to ~300Ω typ) and transition time lengthens (~500ns) compared to ±15V operation, but rail-to-rail signal handling and 0.8V–2.4V logic thresholds remain fully functional - verified in Typical Operating Characteristics figures TOC-02 and TOC-12.
Does the MAX4527CPA+ require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on the IN pin?
No, the MAX4527CPA+ does not require external biasing on the IN pin. Its logic inputs have internally defined TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (0.8V low, 2.4V high) and are ESD-protected to V+ and V− - not GND - allowing direct connection to microcontroller GPIO or FPGA outputs without additional components, even when V− is negative.
How is break-before-make timing enforced in the MAX4527CPA+?
The MAX4527CPA+ guarantees break-before-make via internal logic design: the control signal path to the P-channel and N-channel switch gates is intentionally skewed to ensure all four analog paths (A-X, A-Y, B-X, B-Y) disconnect before any reconnect. Measured tBBM is 1–5ns at +25°C with ±15V supplies - documented in Electrical Characteristics Table on page 3 of the datasheet.
Is the MAX4527CPA+ pin-compatible with the MAX4527CUA (µMAX) package?
No, the MAX4527CPA+ (8-pin plastic DIP) is not pin-compatible with the MAX4527CUA (8-pin µMAX). While both share identical pin functions and ordering suffix logic ('C' = 0°C to +70°C), their physical footprints differ: DIP has 0.300″ row spacing and through-hole leads; µMAX has 3mm × 3mm body, 0.65mm pitch, and gull-wing surface-mount leads. PCB layout must be redesigned for package change.
