Product details
Overview
MAX4536CPE 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, 100ns turn-on time at ±4.5V, and 1nA off-leakage at +25°C - enabling precision low-power signal switching in audio routing and data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4536CPE datasheet, MAX4536CPE pinout, MAX4536CPE application, or MAX4536CPE equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, package-specific pin mapping, real-world use scenarios, and two confirmed alternative parts for design flexibility under low-voltage, low-leakage, and fast-switching requirements.
Technical Context
The MAX4536CPE integrates four independent CMOS SPST switches sharing a single EN input, each featuring complementary N- and P-channel MOSFETs driven by level-translated logic to support rail-to-rail analog signals. Its internal architecture uses V+ and V− as analog supply rails, with ESD diodes clamping all analog pins to both supplies - defining leakage behavior and absolute voltage limits.
Logic inputs (IN1–IN4, EN) are TTL/CMOS-compatible with thresholds fixed at 0.8V/2.4V under +5V supply, while analog performance-including on-resistance flatness (10Ω max), channel matching (4Ω max), and charge injection (1pC typ)-is specified across temperature and supply conditions including +3V, +5V, and ±5V operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | +2V to +12V single supply or ±2V to ±6V dual supply - supports direct integration into 3.3V, 5V, and bipolar signal chains without level shifters |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 200Ω max at +4.5V single supply - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor or audio paths |
| On-Resistance Match | 4Ω max between channels - critical for matched gain/attenuation in multi-channel instrumentation or balanced signal routing |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA at +25°C, 10nA at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends and battery-monitoring circuits |
| Switching Speed | tON = 100ns, tOFF = 80ns at ±4.5V - enables reliable multiplexing of audio-band and medium-speed control signals |
| Rail-to-Rail Support | Analog signal range spans V− to V+ - allows full utilization of supply headroom in single- or dual-supply configurations |
| ESD Protection | >2kV per Method 3015.7 - enhances robustness in handheld test equipment and field-deployable avionics interfaces |
Pinout & Package
MAX4536CPE is housed in a 16-pin plastic DIP (dual in-line package) with 0.300-inch body width, compliant with JEDEC MS-001. Pin spacing is 0.100 inch, lead finish is matte tin, and operating temperature range is 0°C to +70°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 (COM1–COM4) | Analog common terminal for each SPST switch | Bidirectional node - connects to signal source or load; no ground reference required |
| 2, 3, 11, 12 (NO1–NO4) | Normally open analog switch terminals | Open-circuit when INx = 0 and EN = 0; closed only when both logic conditions are met |
| 5, 6, 14, 15 (IN1–IN4) | Individual switch control inputs | Active-high logic; each independently enables its associated NO switch when EN = low |
| 7 (EN) | Global enable/disable input | Logic high disables all four switches simultaneously - essential for power gating and fault isolation |
| 8 (GND) | Digital ground reference | Reference for logic inputs only; no analog current path - separates digital noise from analog signal paths |
| 9 (V−) | Negative analog supply | Connected to GND for single-supply operation; sets lower bound of analog signal range |
| 16 (V+) | Positive analog/digital supply | Powers internal logic translators and analog switches; internally tied to substrate |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin compatibility with 74HC4316 | Direct drop-in replacement in legacy designs using industry-standard quad SPST footprint and logic interface |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports full-swing signals from V− to V+, eliminating clipping in ±5V audio or 0–3.3V sensor interfaces |
| Low 1nA off-leakage at +25°C | Minimizes DC error in high-Z medical sensor front-ends and battery voltage monitoring circuits |
| 100ns turn-on time at ±4.5V | Enables sub-microsecond channel selection in automated test equipment and multi-sensor data loggers |
| 16-pin PDIP package | Facilitates prototyping, manual soldering, and through-hole mounting in industrial control and avionics subsystems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4536CSE | Same electrical specs; 16-pin narrow SO package (3.9mm width) instead of PDIP | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs and automated SMT assembly; lacks through-hole prototyping flexibility | Select MAX4536CSE for volume production where board area and reflow compatibility are prioritized over hand-soldering. |
| ADG1414BRUZ | Higher RON (1.8Ω typ), wider supply (±5V to ±22V), but higher leakage (20nA @ +85°C) and no 3V operation guarantee | Targeted at high-voltage industrial I/O modules rather than portable low-power systems | Choose ADG1414BRUZ only when >±15V signal handling is required; not recommended for battery-powered designs due to leakage and supply constraints. |
Compared with MAX4536CSE and ADG1414BRUZ, the MAX4536CPE uniquely balances low-leakage performance, 3V compatibility, and through-hole manufacturability - making it optimal for prototyping, avionics LRUs, and cost-sensitive portable instrumentation where reliability under thermal stress and ease of repair matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage differential for MAX4536CPE?
The absolute maximum V+ to V− differential voltage for MAX4536CPE is 13.0V. Exceeding this - even momentarily due to overshoot or tolerance stack-up (e.g., ±6V supplies with ±10% tolerance yielding 13.2V) - risks permanent damage. Designers must verify worst-case supply rails and include margin; for ±5V systems, use regulated supplies with ≤±5.5V absolute limits to stay within specification.
Does MAX4536CPE support true bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, MAX4536CPE supports fully bidirectional analog signal routing. The NO and COM pins are electrically identical and interchangeable - either can serve as input or output. This is enabled by the internal parallel N- and P-channel MOSFET structure, allowing equal conduction regardless of signal direction, which is essential for AC-coupled audio and sensor feedback paths.
Can MAX4536CPE operate reliably from a +3.3V single supply?
Yes, MAX4536CPE is fully specified for +3V single-supply operation (V+ = 2.7V to 3.6V, V− = 0V). At V+ = 3.3V, typical on-resistance is ~600Ω, tON is 300ns, and off-leakage remains ≤10nA at +85°C - making it viable for low-power MCU-peripheral interfacing, though designers should verify RON impact on system gain accuracy.
How does the common enable (EN) pin interact with individual INx controls on MAX4536CPE?
On MAX4536CPE, the EN pin acts as a global master disable: when EN = high, all four switches are forced open regardless of IN1–IN4 states. When EN = low, each switch responds independently to its corresponding INx input (IN1 controls NO1/COM1, etc.). This hierarchical control enables both coarse power gating and fine-grained signal routing in the same device.
Is MAX4536CPE pin-compatible with the 74HC4316 in all package variants?
Yes, MAX4536CPE is pin-compatible with the 74HC4316 in the 16-pin PDIP package - matching pin count, pinout order, and logic polarity. However, the MAX4536CPE offers superior analog performance (lower leakage, rail-to-rail operation, bipolar supply support), while the 74HC4316 is limited to 5V-only digital logic-level switching with higher RON and no guaranteed analog signal integrity.
