Product details
Overview
MAX4533EPP 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 MAX4533EPP datasheet, MAX4533EPP pinout, MAX4533EPP application, or MAX4533EPP equivalent, key selection criteria include fault-protection voltage limits, COM/NO/NC terminal behavior during overvoltage, on-resistance matching across channels, break-before-make timing, and compatibility with dual (±4.5V to ±18V) or single (+9V to +36V) supply configurations.
Technical Context
The MAX4533EPP uses parallel N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs per switch path, enabling rail-to-rail conduction and low 175Ω max on-resistance. Internal voltage sensors monitor NO_/NC_ pins against V+ and V− rails; when overvoltage exceeds ~150mV, the switch disconnects and clamps COM_ to the appropriate supply rail via dedicated clamp transistors (N2/P2).
Fault response occurs in 20ns (typ), with ±10mA clamp current capability and 1kΩ typ clamp resistance. The device requires no power-supply sequencing and remains fully off with power removed-ensuring safe default state in redundant systems and portable instruments.
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 |
| On-Resistance Match | 10Ω max between channels - critical for matched gain/phase in differential or multiplexed sensor interfaces |
| Fault Protection | ±25V with power on, ±40V with power off - protects downstream circuitry from transient overvoltages without external components |
| Logic Thresholds | +0.8V low / +2.4V high - guarantees reliable TTL and CMOS compatibility across ±15V or +12V supply operation |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 20ns (typ) - supports high-speed switching in automated test equipment and real-time data acquisition |
| Off-Leakage Current | 0.5nA at +25°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor front-ends and battery-powered systems |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±18V dual or +9V to +36V single - enables flexible integration into legacy ±15V and modern wide-input industrial rails |
Pinout & Package
MAX4533EPP is packaged in a 20-pin plastic DIP (dual in-line package) with 0.3-inch width, lead finish matte tin, and operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 10, 11, 20 (IN1–IN4) | Digital control inputs | Accept TTL/CMOS logic; drive internal level translators to switch N/P FETs - no external pull-ups required |
| 2, 9, 12, 19 (NO1–NO4) | Normally open analog terminals | Fault-protected input/output; bidirectional when within rails; withstands ±40V with power off |
| 3, 8, 13, 18 (COM1–COM4) | Analog common outputs | Clamped to V+ or V− during fault; delivers up to ±10mA load current - connects to ADC/DAC/mux signal path |
| 4, 7, 14, 17 (NC1–NC4) | Normally closed analog terminals | Fault-protected input/output; electrically identical to NO_ pins - enables true SPDT redundancy |
| 5 (V−) | Negative analog supply | Bias for P-channel FETs and clamp circuitry; must be connected even in single-supply mode (GND referenced) |
| 6 (GND) | Digital ground reference | Reference for logic inputs only; isolated from analog signal paths - prevents digital noise coupling |
| 15 (N.C.) | No internal connection | Unbonded pad; must remain unconnected - floating or tied to GND/V+ degrades ESD performance |
| 16 (V+) | Positive analog/digital supply | Drives N-channel FETs, logic translators, and clamp circuitry - sets logic thresholds and on-resistance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal conduction | Supports full-swing analog signals from V− to V+ without distortion or clipping - essential for ±10V sensor ranges |
| Automatic output clamping | COM_ terminal clamps to V+ or V− within 20ns during overvoltage - eliminates need for external TVS or diode clamps |
| All-switches-off default | Zero current flow through all channels when power is removed - prevents backfeeding or unintended signal paths |
| No supply sequencing required | V+, V−, and GND may be powered in any order - simplifies power-up sequencing in multi-rail industrial controllers |
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed tBBM ≥ 5ns - prevents momentary shorting between NC and NO paths during channel reconfiguration |
Applications
| Redundant Signal Routing | Portable Test Instrumentation |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad SPDT switch providing independent fault-isolated paths; each channel operates autonomously under ±25V fault conditions. Use Value: Eliminates need for external fault-detection circuitry and relay-based redundancy - reduces board area and BOM count by 3×. | Use Scenario: Multiplexing multiple sensor inputs (thermocouple, strain gauge, RTD) into a single handheld DMM or calibrator. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage, rail-to-rail analog switch enabling accurate DC-coupled measurements without signal degradation. Use Value: 0.5nA off-leakage at +25°C preserves microvolt-level resolution in high-Z sensor interfaces. |
| Industrial Data Acquisition | Communications Channel Protection |
Use Scenario: Front-end signal conditioning in PLC I/O modules handling ±10V process signals across harsh factory environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fault-protected SPDT switch isolating field wiring from sensitive ADC inputs; clamps transients before they reach measurement circuitry. Use Value: ±40V fault tolerance with power off prevents latch-up during hot-swap or maintenance - extends system uptime. | Use Scenario: Protecting analog voice/data lines in telecom line cards exposed to lightning-induced surges or accidental AC mains contact. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Analog switch placed between line interface IC and codec; acts as fail-safe barrier during overvoltage events. Use Value: 20ns fault response time limits energy delivered to downstream components - meets ITU-T K.20 surge immunity requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4532EPP | Triple SPDT configuration (3 channels vs. 4); identical fault protection, on-resistance, and timing specs | Suitable for systems requiring fewer channels but same ruggedness - saves space in compact designs | Select when channel count reduction is acceptable and PCB layout favors smaller footprint |
| ADG1434BRUZ | 4-channel SPDT with ±40V fault protection, but higher 4.5Ω typical on-resistance and no rail-to-rail signal handling below ±5V | Better suited for low-voltage precision applications (< ±5V), less ideal for ±10V industrial signal chains | Prefer for low-voltage, low-distortion audio or medical sensing; avoid for ±15V test equipment |
Compared with MAX4532EPP and ADG1434BRUZ, the MAX4533EPP uniquely balances quad-channel density, 175Ω low on-resistance at full rail, and guaranteed rail-to-rail operation - making it optimal for industrial DAQ and test instrumentation where signal fidelity and fault resilience are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum fault voltage the MAX4533EPP can withstand with power applied?
The MAX4533EPP withstands ±25V fault voltage on NO_ or NC_ terminals when power is applied (V+ and V− active). This rating applies with ±15V supplies; exceeding ±25V risks permanent damage. The device also supports ±40V faults with power off - a critical safety feature during maintenance or hot-swap scenarios. All fault protection is inherent and requires no external components.
Does the MAX4533EPP support single-supply operation, and what is the valid voltage range?
Yes, the MAX4533EPP supports single-supply operation with V− connected to GND and V+ ranging from +9V to +36V. In this configuration, the fault-free analog signal range is 0V to V+, and fault protection extends to +40V on NO_/NC_ with power off. On-resistance increases to 390Ω max at +12V supply, versus 175Ω max at ±15V dual supply - a trade-off designers must account for in precision applications.
How does the MAX4533EPP behave during an overvoltage fault condition?
During an overvoltage fault, the MAX4533EPP immediately disconnects the affected NO_ or NC_ terminal from COM_ (within 20ns), placing both in high-impedance state with <0.5nA leakage. Simultaneously, COM_ is clamped to V+ or V− via internal clamp transistors, delivering up to ±10mA to the load. This ensures downstream circuitry sees only the rail voltage - not the fault - preserving system integrity without external protection devices.
Is the MAX4533EPP pin-compatible with older industry-standard switches?
Yes, the MAX4533EPP is pin-compatible with the MAX333 and MAX333A - including identical 20-pin DIP footprint, pin numbering, and functional assignment. This allows drop-in replacement in legacy designs while upgrading fault protection from ±15V to ±25V (power on) and adding rail-to-rail signal handling. No PCB or firmware changes are required for migration.
What is the temperature range specification for the MAX4533EPP variant?
MAX4533EPP is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C - qualifying it for extended-temperature industrial, avionics, and outdoor instrumentation applications. This exceeds the commercial-grade MAX4533CAP (0°C to +70°C) and precedes the military-grade MAX4533MJP (−55°C to +125°C). All electrical specifications in the datasheet are guaranteed across this full range unless otherwise noted.
