Product details
Overview
The MAX4534CUD from Maxim Integrated is a fault-protected, single 4-to-1 analog multiplexer designed for high-voltage signal routing in harsh environments. It operates from ±4.5V to ±20V dual supplies or +9V to +36V single supply, delivers ≤400Ω on-resistance, ±40V fault protection with supplies off, and rail-to-rail signal handling - enabling robust data acquisition in avionics and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4534CUD datasheet, MAX4534CUD pinout, MAX4534CUD application, or MAX4534CUD equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, TSSOP-14 package details, fault-protection behavior under overvoltage, and real-world selection guidance against comparable high-voltage mux alternatives.
Technical Context
The MAX4534CUD uses parallel N- and P-channel FETs per channel to achieve low on-resistance and true rail-to-rail signal conduction. Its dual-comparator fault-detection circuit clamps COM output to V+ or V− within ~20ns when NO inputs exceed rails by >150mV, while maintaining high-impedance NO terminals during faults.
Fault response is supply-agnostic: ±40V protection applies with supplies off; ±25V (at ±15V supplies) applies with supplies on. All digital inputs feature TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (0.8V low / 2.4V high), eliminating need for level-shifting when used with +12V or ±15V logic systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±20V dual or +9V to +36V single - supports wide industrial and avionics power architectures without external regulation. |
| On-Resistance (max) | 400Ω - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor or DAC output routing. |
| Fault Protection (supplies off) | ±40V on NO pins - enables safe connection to unpowered subsystems or legacy equipment with floating potentials. |
| Fault Response Time | 20ns typical - limits transient energy transfer during fast overvoltage events, protecting downstream ADCs or amplifiers. |
| Rail-to-Rail Signal Handling | Full V− to V+ range - preserves DC accuracy and dynamic range of bipolar signals without clipping or level shifting. |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS thresholds (0.8V/2.4V) - interoperates directly with microcontrollers, FPGAs, and logic families using +12V or ±15V supplies. |
| Break-Before-Make Delay | 135ns typical - prevents momentary shorting between input channels during address transitions, critical for redundant signal selection. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4534CUD is housed in a 14-pin TSSOP package (JEDEC MO-153, 5.0mm × 4.4mm × 1.2mm), lead-free and RoHS-compliant, rated for 0°C to +70°C operation.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A0 | LSB address input controlling channel selection (NO1–NO4); CMOS/TTL compatible, referenced to GND. |
| 2 | EN | Active-high enable; disables all switches when low, placing COM in high-impedance state regardless of A0/A1. |
| 3 | V− | Negative supply rail; must be connected for dual-supply operation or tied to GND for single-supply mode. |
| 4 | NO1 | Fault-protected analog input channel 1; withstands ±40V with supplies off, ±25V with ±15V supplies on. |
| 5 | NO2 | Fault-protected analog input channel 2; identical protection and signal-handling specs as NO1–NO4. |
| 7 | COM | Analog output common node; not fault-protected - voltage must remain within V− to V+ to avoid ESD diode conduction. |
| 11 | NO3 | Fault-protected analog input channel 3; shares same internal protection architecture and clamp behavior as NO1/NO2/NO4. |
| 10 | NO4 | Fault-protected analog input channel 4; supports full 4-to-1 multiplexing with guaranteed channel matching (≤10Ω RON mismatch). |
| 14 | A1 | MSB address input; together with A0, selects one of four NO inputs to connect to COM when EN = high. |
| 13 | GND | Digital ground reference for logic inputs (A0, A1, EN); isolated from analog signal path but tied to ESD protection diodes. |
| 12 | V+ | Positive supply rail; powers internal logic translators and booster FETs that clamp COM during fault conditions. |
| 6, 8, 9 | N.C. | No internal connection; must remain unconnected per datasheet - no pull-up/down or routing required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal conduction | Supports analog signals spanning full V− to V+ range without distortion or clipping - essential for ±10V sensor interfaces. |
| Output clamping during fault | COM terminal actively clamped to V+ or V− during overvoltage, limiting downstream voltage excursion to safe supply rails. |
| No power-supply sequencing required | Operates correctly regardless of V+/V− ramp order - simplifies system power-up design and eliminates sequencing ICs. |
| All channels off with power off | NO pins become virtual open-circuit and COM floats when V+/V− = 0 - prevents back-driving or leakage into unpowered circuits. |
| Matched on-resistance | ≤10Ω max mismatch between any two channels - maintains consistent gain and offset across multiplexed sensor paths. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1414BRUZ | 40V max supply (±20V), 4.7Ω typical RON, no fault protection - requires external TVS/clamp diodes for overvoltage. | Lower on-resistance suits precision instrumentation; lacks integrated fault response, increasing BOM count and layout complexity. | Select when ultra-low RON and bandwidth (>18MHz) outweigh fault-protection integration needs. |
| TMUX6214RSVR | 36V max supply (+36V single), 5.5Ω typical RON, ±60V fault protection (with supplies off), but only ±20V with supplies on. | Better fault margin at power-off; lower on-resistance than MAX4534CUD, but narrower operating temperature (–40°C to +125°C vs. C-grade 0°C to +70°C). | Prefer for extended temp designs requiring higher fault tolerance at zero power, accepting tighter supply voltage limits. |
Compared with ADG1414BRUZ and TMUX6214RSVR, the MAX4534CUD uniquely balances ±40V fault protection with supplies off, rail-to-rail operation, and proven field reliability in avionics - making it optimal where safety-critical fault containment and legacy system compatibility are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage on NO pins of the MAX4534CUD when power supplies are off?
The MAX4534CUD guarantees ±40V fault protection on NO pins with supplies off - meaning NO inputs may safely reach –40V to +40V relative to GND without damage. This enables hot-plug connectivity to unpowered subsystems or legacy equipment with floating grounds, a key requirement in avionics maintenance and industrial retrofit scenarios. The MAX4534CUD maintains high-impedance NO terminals under this condition.
Does the MAX4534CUD require power-supply sequencing during startup?
No, the MAX4534CUD does not require power-supply sequencing. Its internal logic translators and fault-protection comparators operate correctly regardless of whether V+ ramps before V− or vice versa. This eliminates the need for external sequencing controllers in multi-rail systems, simplifying power architecture design and improving system robustness during brown-out recovery. The MAX4534CUD remains functional across its full ±4.5V to ±20V supply range without timing constraints.
Can the COM pin of the MAX4534CUD be connected to a voltage outside the V+ and V− rails?
No - the COM pin of the MAX4534CUD is not fault-protected. Connecting COM to a voltage beyond V− or V+ forward-biases internal ESD diodes, risking permanent damage if current exceeds ±30mA. The MAX4534CUD datasheet explicitly states COM must remain within the supply rails. For applications requiring out-of-rail COM biasing, external protection circuitry or alternative architectures must be used - the MAX4534CUD itself cannot tolerate such conditions.
What is the on-resistance match specification for the MAX4534CUD, and why does it matter?
The MAX4534CUD guarantees ≤10Ω maximum on-resistance mismatch (∆RON) between any two channels. This tight matching ensures consistent gain and minimal channel-to-channel offset error when multiplexing precision sensor signals - critical in data-acquisition systems where calibration across multiple inputs must remain stable. The MAX4534CUD achieves this via matched parallel N/P-FET construction, unlike discrete-switch alternatives with >50Ω mismatch.
How does the MAX4534CUD behave during a positive overvoltage fault on an NO pin?
When an NO pin exceeds V+ by ~150mV, the MAX4534CUD's internal positive fault comparator triggers within 20ns, turning off both N- and P-channel FETs to isolate the NO pin. If the switch is ON, a booster FET clamps COM to V+, limiting output excursion. If OFF, both NO and COM go high-impedance. This behavior is fully specified in the MAX4534CUD datasheet and validated across temperature and supply variations - no external components needed.
