Product details
Overview
MAX4533CPP from Maxim Integrated is a quad SPDT analog switch with rail-to-rail signal handling, ±25V fault protection (power on) and ±40V fault protection (power off), 175Ω max on-resistance at ±15V supplies, and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs - designed for high-reliability signal routing in test equipment and industrial data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4533CPP datasheet, MAX4533CPP pinout, MAX4533CPP application, or MAX4533CPP equivalent, this device delivers verified fault-protected switching across ±4.5V to ±18V dual supplies or +9V to +36V single supply, with 20ns typical fault response time and 10Ω max on-resistance matching between channels.
Technical Context
The MAX4533CPP uses parallel N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs per switch path, enabling rail-to-rail conduction and low 175Ω on-resistance. Its internal voltage-sensing comparators monitor NO_/NC_ terminals continuously against V+ and V− rails.
During overvoltage faults, the switch disconnects the COM_ terminal from NO_/NC_, clamps COM_ to the appropriate supply rail via dedicated clamp FETs (N2/P2), and limits output current to ±10mA - all without requiring power-supply sequencing or external protection components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (max) | 175Ω at ±15V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation and thermal drift in precision analog paths |
| Fault protection (power on) | ±25V on NO_/NC_ - protects downstream circuitry from transient overvoltages during active operation |
| Fault protection (power off) | ±40V on NO_/NC_ - maintains robust input tolerance even when unpowered, critical for hot-swap or maintenance scenarios |
| Logic compatibility | +0.8V/+2.4V thresholds - supports direct interface with TTL and CMOS logic under ±15V or +12V supply conditions |
| Turn-on/turn-off time (typ) | 20ns / 20ns at RL = 50Ω, CL = 15pF - enables fast multiplexing in high-speed data acquisition and communications systems |
| Off-leakage current (max) | 0.5nA at +25°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and precision measurement front-ends |
| Supply range | ±4.5V to ±18V dual or +9V to +36V single - supports flexible system-level power architecture without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
MAX4533CPP is supplied in a 20-pin plastic DIP package with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 15 is NC (not internally connected); pins 5 (V−) and 16 (V+) are dedicated analog supply inputs; GND (pin 6) serves digital ground reference only.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,10,11,20 (IN1–IN4) | Digital control inputs | Accept TTL/CMOS logic to select NO or NC path per channel; no pull-up/down required |
| 2,9,12,19 (NO1–NO4) | Fault-protected normally open analog inputs | Withstand ±40V faults when unpowered; bidirectional signal path when within rail limits |
| 3,8,13,18 (COM1–COM4) | Analog common outputs | Clamped to V+ or V− during fault; deliver up to ±10mA load current while maintaining rail alignment |
| 4,7,14,17 (NC1–NC4) | Fault-protected normally closed analog inputs | Functionally identical to NO pins; both provide same fault tolerance and leakage specs |
| 5 (V−) | Negative analog supply | Bias for internal P-channel FETs and comparators; must be connected for proper fault detection |
| 6 (GND) | Digital ground reference | Reference for logic inputs only; isolated from analog signal paths to prevent noise coupling |
| 15 (N.C.) | No connection | Not bonded internally; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling |
| 16 (V+) | Positive analog/digital supply | Supplies logic core, level translators, and N-channel FET gates; sets input logic thresholds |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ without distortion or clipping - essential for full-scale sensor and DAC/ADC interfacing |
| Output clamping during fault | COM_ terminal actively clamps to V+ or V− within nanoseconds - prevents downstream component damage and ensures deterministic system behavior |
| No power-supply sequencing required | Operates safely regardless of V+ / V− / GND ramp order - eliminates startup timing constraints in complex power systems |
| All switches off with power off | NO_/NC_ terminals become high-impedance (<1nA leakage) when unpowered - prevents back-driving or signal leakage in standby mode |
| 1kΩ typ output clamp resistance | Limits fault current to safe levels while maintaining stable rail alignment - avoids latch-up or thermal runaway in protected loads |
Applications
| Redundant Signal Routing | Portable Test Instrumentation |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX333ACPP | Higher 350Ω max on-resistance; no rail-to-rail operation; ±15V fault protection only (power on) | Limited to lower-precision, lower-bandwidth industrial controls where signal swing stays >2V from rails | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs performance - but verify 350Ω RON meets system THD and gain error budgets |
| ADG1434BRUZ | Lower 4.7Ω on-resistance; ±33V fault protection (power on); requires external clamp diodes for power-off protection | Suitable for high-fidelity audio and precision instrumentation where ultra-low RON and charge injection matter most | Select only if system design includes external ±40V protection - MAX4533CPP provides full fault coverage without added components |
Compared with MAX333ACPP and ADG1434BRUZ, MAX4533CPP uniquely balances 175Ω on-resistance, full ±40V power-off fault tolerance, and pin-compatible drop-in replacement for legacy MAX333 designs - making it optimal for upgrade paths requiring zero layout change and enhanced ruggedness.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable fault voltage on NO_/NC_ pins of the MAX4533CPP when powered off?
The MAX4533CPP supports ±40V fault voltage on NO_ and NC_ terminals with power supplies disconnected (V+ = V− = 0). This rating is absolute - exceeding ±40V, even momentarily, risks permanent damage. The specification is validated per Maxim's Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies uniformly across all temperature grades including the MAX4533CPP's 0°C to +70°C range.
Does the MAX4533CPP require external components to achieve its specified fault protection?
No, the MAX4533CPP integrates all fault-protection circuitry on-die - including voltage-sensing comparators, clamp FETs (N2/P2), and disconnect drivers. No external diodes, resistors, or capacitors are needed to realize ±25V fault protection with power on or ±40V with power off. The datasheet Typical Operating Circuit confirms self-contained operation with only V+, V−, GND, and signal connections required.
Can the MAX4533CPP operate from an asymmetric dual supply, such as +12V and −5V?
Yes, the MAX4533CPP supports asymmetric dual supplies as long as the difference between V+ and V− remains within the absolute maximum rating of +44V and each supply stays within its respective range: V+ ≥ −0.3V and ≤ +44.0V, V− ≥ −44.0V and ≤ +0.3V. For example, +12V and −5V yields a 17V differential - well within spec - and maintains full rail-to-rail signal handling and fault protection functionality as verified in the Electrical Characteristics tables.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance matching between channels for the MAX4533CPP?
The MAX4533CPP guarantees ≤10Ω on-resistance mismatch (∆RON = RONMAX − RONMIN) between any two channels at ±15V supplies and TA = +25°C. This value is 100% tested per the datasheet's Note 4 and holds across the full 0°C to +70°C operating range - critical for matched-gain applications like differential signal routing and programmable gain amplifiers.
Is the MAX4533CPP pin-compatible with the MAX333A series, and what does that mean for PCB design?
Yes, the MAX4533CPP is fully pin-compatible with the MAX333 and MAX333A in the 20-pin DIP package - identical pin count, numbering, and function mapping per the Pin Description table. This allows direct replacement on existing PCBs without layout modification, delivering immediate improvements in on-resistance (175Ω vs. 350Ω), fault protection (±40V vs. ±15V), and rail-to-rail operation - all while preserving legacy firmware and interconnect integrity.
