Product details
Overview
The MAX4531CWP+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage, CMOS analog switch IC configured as two independent 4-channel multiplexers (2×4:1), featuring dual enable inputs (EN1/EN2), address latching (LE), and three address lines (ADDA/ADDB/ADDC). It operates from ±2V to ±6V dual supplies or +2V to +12V single supply, delivers rail-to-rail signal handling, exhibits 150Ω max on-resistance at +5V, and supports <1µW quiescent power - ideal for precision data acquisition and battery-powered test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4531CWP+ datasheet, MAX4531CWP+ pinout, MAX4531CWP+ application, or MAX4531CWP+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world switching performance metrics, package-specific layout guidance, and validated alternative options for industrial signal routing designs requiring TTL/CMOS-compatible control and sub-150ns enable timing.
Technical Context
The MAX4531CWP+ implements two fully independent 4:1 analog multiplexer sections (COMA/NO0A–NO3A and COMB/NO0B–NO3B), each with dedicated enable (EN1/EN2), shared address latching (LE), and binary address decoding (ADDA/ADDB). Address latching isolates channel selection from input glitches, enabling stable switching in noisy environments.
Its CMOS transmission-gate architecture ensures bidirectional signal flow, rail-to-rail analog voltage support (VCOM/VNO = V− to V+), and matched on-resistance (ΔRON ≤ 8Ω) across channels. ESD protection exceeds 2kV per Method 3015.7, and leakage remains ≤1nA at +25°C with dual ±4.5V supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Configuration | Two independent 4:1 analog multiplexers (2×4:1), not shared common or interleaved |
| Supply Range | ±2V to ±6V dual or +2V to +12V single - supports legacy ±5V and modern low-voltage systems |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 150Ω max at +5V supply - ensures minimal signal attenuation in 50Ω–1kΩ impedance paths |
| On-Resistance Matching (ΔRON) | 8Ω max between channels - critical for gain-matched multi-channel instrumentation |
| Enable Turn-On/Off Time | tON(EN) = 150ns, tOFF(EN) = 120ns at ±4.5V - enables high-speed channel sequencing in ATE |
| Rail-to-Rail Signal Handling | VCOM/VNO spans full supply rails (V− to V+) - preserves DC accuracy and dynamic range |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS thresholds (0.8V/2.4V) at +5V - eliminates level-shifting in mixed-signal microcontroller interfaces |
Pinout & Package
MAX4531CWP+ uses a 20-pin wide SO (Small Outline) package (SOIC-W), 7.5mm body width, 0.65mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad not present. Pin 1 marked by beveled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive analog/digital supply | Drives internal CMOS switches and logic; sets upper analog signal limit (V− to V+) |
| V− | Negative analog supply | Connect to GND for single-supply operation; sets lower analog signal limit |
| GND | Digital ground reference | Reference for logic inputs only; isolated from analog signal path |
| LE | Address latch enable | Latches ADDA/ADDB state on rising edge; decouples address stability from control timing |
| EN1 / EN2 | Independent section enables | Active-high enables for MUX-A and MUX-B; allows asynchronous channel activation |
| ADDA / ADDB | Binary address inputs | Selects one of four NOx inputs per section (00–11); latched by LE |
| COMA / COMB | Common terminals | Bidirectional analog I/O ports - may serve as input or output depending on system topology |
| NO0A–NO3A / NO0B–NO3B | Normally-open switch terminals | Four analog inputs per section; connected to COMx when selected; interchangeable with NC pins |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PIN-COMPATIBLE WITH 74HC4352 | Direct drop-in replacement for industry-standard dual 4:1 mux - no PCB redesign required |
| RAIL-TO-RAIL® SIGNAL HANDLING | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ without clipping - preserves full dynamic range in sensor front-ends |
| LOW CHARGE INJECTION (1.5pC TYP) | Minimizes voltage glitch on sampled-hold nodes - essential for high-resolution ADC drivers |
| 2kV ESD PROTECTION (HBM) | Robust handling of board-level ESD events - reduces need for external protection in handheld test gear |
| <1µW QUIESCENT POWER | Negligible standby current - extends battery life in portable DMMs and field sensors |
Applications
| Automated Test Equipment (ATE) | Data Acquisition Systems |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4:1 analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG732BRUZ | Single 16:1 mux (not dual 4:1); 4Ω RON at +3V; no address latching; SPI interface instead of parallel logic | Requires microcontroller firmware control; unsuitable for direct 74HC4352 pin replacement or latch-based timing | Choose when system-level flexibility outweighs pin compatibility and latch timing simplicity |
| TS5A3159DCKR | Single SP4T switch; 0.75Ω RON at +3V; no enable latching; 1.65V–5.5V supply; 300MHz bandwidth | Lacks dual-section architecture and address decoding - cannot replicate MAX4531CWP+'s parallel 2×4:1 functionality | Prefer for ultra-low-RON single-path routing where dual independent control is unnecessary |
Compared with ADG732BRUZ and TS5A3159DCKR, the MAX4531CWP+ uniquely delivers pin-compatible 74HC4352 replacement capability, hardware-address latching, and true dual independent 4:1 routing - making it the only option that preserves legacy board layouts while supporting deterministic, glitch-free channel selection in safety-critical analog systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MAX4531CWP+?
The MAX4531CWP+ is rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation, as indicated by the 'C' grade suffix in its part number. This commercial-grade temperature range is validated per Maxim's datasheet specifications and applies to all electrical parameters unless otherwise noted in derating curves. The device is not qualified for extended industrial (−40°C to +85°C) operation - for that, the MAX4531EWP variant must be selected.
Does the MAX4531CWP+ support single-supply operation below +5V?
Yes, the MAX4531CWP+ supports single-supply operation down to +2V, with functional operation confirmed at +1.7V (though with degraded RON and timing). At +3V supply, typical on-resistance rises to 600Ω and transition time increases to 350ns - values explicitly characterized in the datasheet's "Single +3V Supply" section. These trade-offs must be accounted for in low-voltage portable designs.
How does the address latching (LE) function interact with EN1 and EN2 in the MAX4531CWP+?
In the MAX4531CWP+, LE operates independently of EN1 and EN2: it captures and holds ADDA/ADDB states on its rising edge, freezing channel selection regardless of subsequent address changes. EN1 and EN2 then gate the latched selection - enabling or disabling each 4:1 section asynchronously. This separation allows glitch-free channel updates even when EN signals toggle mid-scan.
Is the MAX4531CWP+ pin-compatible with the 74HC4352 across all package types?
Yes - the MAX4531CWP+ is explicitly specified as pin-compatible with the 74HC4352 in 20-pin SO (SOIC-W), DIP, and SSOP packages. Pin mapping, signal names (EN1/EN2/ADDA/ADDB/COMA/COMB/NO0A–NO3A/NO0B–NO3B), and electrical timing (tON/tOFF, tBBM) match the 74HC4352 specification, enabling direct substitution without layout modification.
What is the off-isolation performance of the MAX4531CWP+ at 1MHz?
At 1MHz, the MAX4531CWP+ delivers −65dB off-isolation (VISO), measured between COMx and an unselected NOx terminal under 50Ω conditions. This value is worst-case for channel 4 due to proximity to COM, as documented in Note 7 of the datasheet. Off-isolation degrades approximately 20dB per decade above 1MHz, reaching −45dB at 10MHz.
