Product details
Overview
MAX4533EAP+T 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. It serves as a fault-protected signal routing device in industrial data-acquisition front-ends where overvoltage transients threaten downstream ADCs or multiplexers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4533EAP+T datasheet, MAX4533EAP+T pinout, MAX4533EAP+T application, or MAX4533EAP+T equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping, fault-response timing, leakage behavior across temperature, and real-world alternative selection guidance for high-reliability analog switching designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4533EAP+T implements a parallel N-channel/P-channel MOSFET architecture per channel, enabling true rail-to-rail conduction while maintaining low on-resistance (125Ω typ). Its internal voltage-sensing comparators monitor NO_/NC_ terminals continuously against V+ and V− rails to trigger fault isolation within 20ns (typ).
During overvoltage events, the switch disconnects the COM_ terminal from the faulty NO_/NC_ path and clamps COM_ to the appropriate supply rail via dedicated clamp FETs (N2/P2), delivering up to ±10mA load current without transition glitches-ensuring deterministic output behavior under fault conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (max) | 175Ω at ±15V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor interfaces |
| Fault protection (power on) | ±25V on NO_/NC_ - protects connected circuitry from transient overvoltages during active operation |
| Fault protection (power off) | ±40V on NO_/NC_ - maintains robustness during system power-down or brownout states |
| Fault response time (typ) | 20ns - enables fast isolation before damaging energy transfers to sensitive downstream components |
| Off-leakage current (max) | 10nA at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance measurement paths such as thermocouple or pH sensor inputs |
| Supply range | ±4.5V to ±18V dual or +9V to +36V single - supports wide industrial supply architectures including ±15V legacy systems and +24V PLC rails |
| Logic compatibility | +0.8V/+2.4V thresholds - guarantees reliable switching with both TTL and CMOS drivers across full supply range |
Pinout & Package
MAX4533EAP+T is housed in a 20-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65mm pitch, rated for -40°C to +85°C operation. The package provides compact footprint and thermal performance suitable for space-constrained industrial modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 (Pins 1,10,11,20) | Digital control inputs | Accept TTL/CMOS logic to select NO_ or NC_ path per channel; no power sequencing required |
| NO1–NO4 (Pins 2,9,12,19) | Normally open analog inputs | Fault-protected terminals; conduct to COM_ when corresponding IN_ = logic high |
| COM1–COM4 (Pins 3,8,13,18) | Analog common outputs | Bidirectional signal path; clamped to V+ or V− during fault; not fault-protected |
| NC1–NC4 (Pins 4,7,14,17) | Normally closed analog inputs | Fault-protected terminals; conduct to COM_ when corresponding IN_ = logic low |
| V+ (Pin 16) | Positive supply input | Powers analog switches and logic translators; sets logic thresholds; supports up to +36V in single-supply mode |
| V− (Pin 5) | Negative supply input | Powers analog switches; enables bipolar signal handling; supports down to -18V |
| GND (Pin 6) | Digital ground reference | Reference for logic inputs only; isolated from analog signal paths to prevent noise coupling |
| N.C. (Pin 15) | No connection | Not internally bonded; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practices |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ without clipping-enables full dynamic range utilization in ±15V instrumentation amplifiers |
| Output clamping during fault | COM_ actively clamped to V+ or V− with ≤20ns delay and ±10mA drive-eliminates undefined output states that could latch or damage downstream logic |
| No power-supply sequencing required | Operates safely regardless of V+/V− ramp order-simplifies power-up sequencing in multi-rail industrial controllers |
| Break-before-make timing | Typical 5ns delay prevents momentary shorting between NO_ and NC_ paths-critical for avoiding signal corruption in multiplexed sensor arrays |
| Matched on-resistance | ≤10Ω max mismatch between channels-ensures consistent gain and offset across all four SPDT paths in differential or ratiometric measurements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fault-protected analog switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4532EAP+T | Triple SPDT configuration (3 channels), identical fault protection and RON, same SSOP-20 package | Suitable for designs requiring three independent fault-protected paths instead of four | Select when channel count reduction simplifies BOM or PCB layout without sacrificing fault resilience |
| ADG5412BRUZ | Quad SPDT with ±40V fault protection (power on/off), 180Ω max RON, TSSOP-16 package, higher 125°C operating range | Preferred for extended-temperature environments or space-constrained layouts needing smaller footprint | Choose when operating beyond +85°C is required or when TSSOP-16 fits tighter board area constraints |
Compared with MAX4533EAP+T, MAX4532EAP+T reduces channel count but retains identical fault behavior and electrical specs, while ADG5412BRUZ offers wider temperature range and smaller package at marginally higher on-resistance-making each viable for distinct mechanical, thermal, or functional trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable overvoltage on NO_/NC_ pins of the MAX4533EAP+T when powered off?
The MAX4533EAP+T guarantees ±40V fault protection 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 regardless of GND reference point, making MAX4533EAP+T suitable for hot-swap or maintenance scenarios where inputs may be energized before system power is applied.
Does the MAX4533EAP+T require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its IN_ inputs?
No, the MAX4533EAP+T does not require external biasing on IN1–IN4. Its logic inputs have defined TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (+0.8V low, +2.4V high) and draw only ±5µA max input current across temperature. Driving directly from microcontroller GPIOs, FPGA outputs, or discrete logic gates is fully supported-eliminating BOM cost and board space for passive components while ensuring noise-immune switching.
How does the MAX4533EAP+T behave during a negative fault event-e.g., NO_ pulled to -30V while V+ = +15V and V− = -15V?
When NO_ is driven to -30V (exceeding V− = -15V by >150mV), the MAX4533EAP+T immediately forces the associated switch open and clamps COM_ to V− (-15V) via its internal P2 clamp FET. Output recovery occurs in ~1.3µs once NO_ returns within rails. This behavior is confirmed in the Typical Operating Characteristics (Figure MAX4533 toc13) and Table 1 of the datasheet-ensuring predictable, rail-limited output under asymmetric fault stress.
Can the MAX4533EAP+T operate with asymmetrical dual supplies, such as V+ = +12V and V− = -5V?
Yes, the MAX4533EAP+T supports asymmetrical dual supplies as long as |V+ − V−| ≤ +44V and each supply remains within its Absolute Maximum Rating (V+ ≥ -0.3V, V− ≤ +0.3V). With V+ = +12V and V− = -5V, the device delivers rail-to-rail switching from -5V to +12V and maintains ±25V fault protection on NO_/NC_. On-resistance increases slightly versus symmetrical ±15V, but remains within 175Ω max per Electrical Characteristics tables.
Is the MAX4533EAP+T pin-compatible with the MAX333A, and what design considerations follow from that compatibility?
Yes, the MAX4533EAP+T is explicitly pin-compatible with the industry-standard MAX333 and MAX333A, sharing identical 20-pin SSOP pinout and logic-level mapping. However, unlike the MAX333A, the MAX4533EAP+T adds fault protection, rail-to-rail operation, and lower on-resistance-so direct replacement requires verifying that downstream circuitry can tolerate the enhanced clamping action and updated leakage specs, especially in high-impedance nodes.
