Product details
Overview
MAX4536CEE from Maxim Integrated is a quad, low-voltage, normally open (NO) SPST analog switch with common enable, designed for rail-to-rail signal routing in battery-powered and portable systems. It operates from +2V to +12V single supply or ±2V to ±6V dual supplies, delivers 200Ω max on-resistance, 10Ω max on-resistance flatness, and 1nA max off-leakage at +25°C - enabling precision low-power signal switching in audio routing and data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4536CEE datasheet, MAX4536CEE pinout, MAX4536CEE application, or MAX4536CEE equivalent, this device is selected for its TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds (0.8V–2.4V), 100ns turn-on time at ±4.5V, <1µW quiescent power, 2kV ESD protection, and QSOP-16 packaging suitable for space-constrained mixed-signal PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4536CEE integrates four independent CMOS SPST switches sharing a single EN input, each featuring bidirectional rail-to-rail analog conduction and matched on-resistance (≤4Ω between channels). Its internal level translators isolate logic (V+/GND) from analog (V+/V−) domains, allowing TTL/CMOS inputs to drive switches across full ±6V or +12V analog ranges without external level-shifting.
Switch operation relies on complementary N- and P-channel MOSFETs paralleled per channel, driven out-of-phase by V+ and V− to maintain low distortion and flat on-resistance over signal range. ESD diodes clamp all analog pins to V+ and V−, limiting leakage to ≤10nA at +85°C and defining absolute maximum ratings (e.g., V+–V− ≤13.0V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | +2V to +12V single supply or ±2V to ±6V dual supply - supports legacy 5V, modern 3.3V, and high-headroom 12V analog rails |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 200Ω max at +4.5V single supply - ensures minimal signal attenuation in sensor and audio paths |
| On-Resistance Flatness | 10Ω max over full signal range - preserves linearity in precision instrumentation and DAC output buffering |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C, 10nA max at +85°C - critical for high-impedance sensor multiplexing and battery-life optimization |
| Switching Speed | tON = 100ns, tOFF = 80ns at ±4.5V - enables reliable operation in 10MHz data acquisition and fast test equipment sequencing |
| Logic Compatibility | 0.8V–2.4V input thresholds - interoperates directly with 5V TTL, 3.3V CMOS, and mixed-voltage microcontroller GPIO |
| ESD Protection | >2kV per Method 3015.7 - provides robust handling in manual assembly and field-replaceable modules |
Pinout & Package
MAX4536CEE is housed in a 16-pin QSOP (Quarter Size Outline Package) with 0.635mm pitch, 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, and gull-wing leads - optimized for automated SMT placement and thermal performance in dense portable designs.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | COM1–COM4 | Common analog terminals - bidirectional signal path endpoints; connect to source or load depending on routing topology |
| 2, 3, 11, 12 | NO1–NO4 | Normally open switch outputs - conduct only when corresponding INx = high and EN = low; no default connection when disabled |
| 5, 6, 14, 15 | IN1–IN4 | Digital control inputs - independently gate each NO switch; logic high enables, low disables (subject to EN state) |
| 7 | EN | Global enable - logic high disables all four switches regardless of INx states; essential for system-level power gating |
| 8 | GND | Digital ground reference - separate from analog supplies; must be tied to system digital ground plane |
| 9 | V− | Negative analog supply - connect to GND for single-supply use; sets lower bound of analog signal range |
| 16 | V+ | Positive analog/digital supply - powers internal logic translators and switch FETs; internally tied to substrate |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Analog signals swing from V− to V+ without clipping - supports full dynamic range in ±5V op-amp circuits and unipolar 0–5V ADC front-ends |
| Pin compatibility with 74HC4316 | Direct drop-in replacement for industry-standard quad SPST switch - eliminates PCB redesign when upgrading to lower leakage or wider supply range |
| Break-before-make timing | Not applicable - MAX4536CEE implements pure SPST NO topology; only MAX4538 variant includes BBM functionality |
| Charge injection | 1pC typical - minimizes voltage glitch on high-impedance nodes (e.g., sample-and-hold capacitors), reducing settling error |
| Off-isolation | −65dB at 1MHz - suppresses crosstalk between adjacent channels in multi-channel data loggers and test fixtures |
Applications
| Battery-Operated Equipment | Audio-Signal Routing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4536CSE | Same electrical specs and pinout; packaged in 16-pin narrow SO instead of QSOP - 1.5mm wider body, 0.05mm larger lead pitch | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy SO footprints; less dense than QSOP for portable designs | Select MAX4536CSE if board layout uses standard SO-16 land patterns or requires higher thermal mass for intermittent high-current switching |
| ADG1414BRUZ | Quad SPST, 1.5Ω RON max, but requires ≥±4.5V dual or ≥5V single supply; not TTL-compatible - needs 2.4V min logic high | Better for low-RON precision instrumentation; unsuitable for 3.3V-only or battery-critical systems due to higher supply and leakage (20nA) | Choose ADG1414BRUZ only when RON <2Ω is mandatory and system can support higher supply voltage and logic levels |
Compared with MAX4536CSE and ADG1414BRUZ, the MAX4536CEE uniquely balances ultra-low leakage (1nA), wide supply flexibility (+2V to +12V), and direct TTL compatibility in the smallest footprint - making it optimal for portable, battery-sensitive, and mixed-voltage embedded systems where board area and standby current are constrained.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX4536CEE?
The MAX4536CEE is specified for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation. This commercial-grade temperature range aligns with its QSOP packaging and target applications in consumer portables and benchtop test gear. For extended industrial use (−40°C to +85°C), the MAX4536EEE variant is available - identical functionality with enhanced thermal qualification and tighter leakage specs at high temperature.
Can the MAX4536CEE operate from a 3.3V single supply?
Yes, the MAX4536CEE supports +2V to +12V single-supply operation. At +3.3V, it maintains rail-to-rail analog conduction and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds (VINL = 0.5V, VINH = 2.0V per datasheet), ensuring reliable interface with 3.3V microcontrollers. On-resistance rises to ~600Ω typical, and switching times increase to ~300ns tON - acceptable for most data acquisition and audio control applications.
Is the MAX4536CEE pin-compatible with the 74HC4316?
Yes, the MAX4536CEE is explicitly designed as a pin-compatible upgrade to the 74HC4316. Both use identical 16-pin DIP/SO/QSOP footprints and share matching pin functions (COM/NO/IN/EN/V+/V−/GND). The MAX4536CEE improves upon the 74HC4316 with lower leakage (1nA vs. ~100nA), wider supply range (+2V–+12V vs. +2V–+6V), and enhanced ESD tolerance (>2kV vs. ~200V).
Does the MAX4536CEE support dual-supply operation with asymmetric rails?
Yes, the MAX4536CEE accepts asymmetric dual supplies as long as the absolute difference between V+ and V− does not exceed 13.0V - for example, V+ = +5V and V− = −3V (8V differential) is valid. However, analog signal range remains bounded by the actual V− and V+ voltages, and logic thresholds depend solely on V+, so V+ must remain within 2.0V–12V for guaranteed input compatibility.
What is the maximum analog signal frequency supported by the MAX4536CEE?
The MAX4536CEE maintains usable signal integrity up to ~50MHz in 50Ω systems, with −3dB bandwidth confirmed in typical operating characteristics. Off-isolation degrades above 10MHz (−44dB at 10MHz, falling ~20dB/decade), so high-frequency applications require careful layout and shielding. For >10MHz signal routing, verify crosstalk and insertion loss against system SNR requirements using the device's measured frequency response curves.
