Product details
Overview
MAX4536CSE+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad, low-voltage, normally open (NO) SPST analog switch with common enable, operating from +2V to +12V single supply or ±2V to ±6V dual supplies. It delivers 200Ω max on-resistance, 4Ω max channel-to-channel on-resistance match, 100ns turn-on time at ±4.5V, rail-to-rail signal handling, and 1nA off-leakage at +25°C - enabling precision signal routing in battery-powered data acquisition and portable audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4536CSE+ datasheet, MAX4536CSE+ pinout, MAX4536CSE+ application, or MAX4536CSE+ equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, package-validated pin functions, real-world use scenarios for low-voltage analog switching, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The MAX4536CSE+ implements four independent CMOS SPST switches driven by logic-level translators that convert TTL/CMOS inputs into full-rail gate drive signals referenced to V+ and V−. Its internal architecture uses paralleled N- and P-channel MOSFETs per switch, eliminating ground reference dependence and supporting bidirectional rail-to-rail analog conduction.
Switch control combines individual IN1–IN4 logic inputs with a global EN pin: all switches open when EN = high, regardless of IN states. The device features matched on-resistance flatness (10Ω max over signal range) and >2kV HBM ESD protection, optimized for low-distortion, low-leakage signal path integrity in ±5V and +5V systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | +2V to +12V single supply or ±2V to ±6V dual supply - supports legacy ±5V and modern low-voltage 3.3V/5V systems without level shifting. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 200Ω max at +4.5V single supply - ensures minimal insertion loss and voltage drop in sensor or audio signal paths. |
| RON Match | 6Ω max between channels - critical for multi-channel instrumentation where gain or timing matching is required. |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 125ns tON / 80ns tOFF at ±4.5V - enables fast multiplexing in data acquisition and test equipment up to ~5MHz effective switching rate. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA at +25°C, 10nA at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends and battery-critical standby modes. |
| Logic Compatibility | 0.8V to 2.4V input thresholds with +5V supply - interoperates directly with TTL and CMOS logic without external biasing. |
| ESD Protection | >2kV per Method 3015.7 - enhances robustness in handheld and field-deployable equipment handling. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4536CSE+ is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package, 3.9mm × 9.9mm body size, 1.27mm lead pitch, compliant with JEDEC MS-012. Pin 1 is marked with a beveled corner or dot; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise convention from top-left.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 (COM1–COM4) | Analog common terminal | Bidirectional signal node per switch; connects to source or drain depending on signal flow direction - no ground reference required. |
| 2, 3, 11, 12 (NO1–NO4) | Normally open analog terminal | Open-circuit when switch disabled; closed only when corresponding INx = high AND EN = low - defines NO topology per channel. |
| 5, 6, 14, 15 (IN1–IN4) | Individual channel enable input | Active-high logic control per switch; overridden by EN pin - allows selective channel activation under global disable. |
| 7 (EN) | Global enable input | Active-low logic input; high state forces all switches open regardless of INx states - enables system-level power gating. |
| 8 (GND) | Digital ground reference | Reference for logic inputs only; isolated from analog signal paths - prevents digital noise coupling into analog channels. |
| 9 (V−) | Negative analog supply | Connect to GND for single-supply operation; sets lower bound of rail-to-rail analog signal range - must not exceed −13V absolute rating. |
| 16 (V+) | Positive analog/digital supply | Drives both analog switches and logic circuitry; internally tied to substrate - sets upper analog signal limit and logic threshold scaling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PIN-compatible with 74HC4316 | Drop-in replacement for industry-standard quad SPST switch - eliminates PCB redesign when upgrading to lower leakage and wider supply range. |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports input/output signals from V− to V+ - enables direct interfacing with op-amp outputs, ADC inputs, and DAC buffers without clamping diodes. |
| 100ns tON at ±4.5V | Enables sub-10MHz multiplexing in automated test equipment and real-time sensor scanning applications. |
| <1µW quiescent power | Reduces standby current in battery-operated devices - critical for multi-day operation in portable medical or IoT edge nodes. |
| 16-pin narrow SO package | 0.150" width footprint with 1.27mm pitch - balances board space efficiency and hand-solderability for prototyping and low-volume production. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4536ESE+ | Same functionality and pinout, but rated for −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range vs. 0°C to +70°C for MAX4536CSE+. | Suitable for automotive cabin modules or outdoor industrial controllers requiring extended thermal operation. | Select MAX4536ESE+ when ambient operating temperature exceeds +70°C or requires qualification to AEC-Q100 Grade 3. |
| ADG1414BRUZ | Quad SPST, 1.5Ω typical RON, ±15V supply capable, but requires separate logic supply (VL) and has higher 12µA IIN. | Better suited for high-precision, high-voltage industrial PLC I/O modules where ultra-low on-resistance outweighs power budget constraints. | Choose ADG1414BRUZ only if RON < 5Ω and ±15V operation are mandatory; MAX4536CSE+ offers superior leakage and supply flexibility for portable designs. |
Compared with MAX4536ESE+, the MAX4536CSE+ trades extended temperature range for lower cost and qualification overhead in commercial-grade portable systems; compared with ADG1414BRUZ, it sacrifices on-resistance performance for significantly lower leakage, broader supply compatibility, and simpler single-supply logic interfacing.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage differential the MAX4536CSE+ can tolerate?
The MAX4536CSE+ has an absolute maximum V+ to V− differential of 13.0V. Exceeding this - for example, using ±6.6V supplies (13.2V total) - risks permanent damage. Designers must account for supply tolerance and transient spikes; ±6V nominal supplies require tight regulation or derating to stay within spec.
Does the MAX4536CSE+ support true bidirectional analog signal flow?
Yes, the MAX4536CSE+ supports fully bidirectional signal conduction: COM and NO pins are functionally identical and interchangeable. Signals pass with equal fidelity in either direction, and the analog path has no intrinsic polarity - enabling flexible routing in audio, sensor, and instrumentation circuits.
Can the MAX4536CSE+ operate from a +3.3V single supply?
Yes, the MAX4536CSE+ operates from +2.0V to +12V single supply. At +3.3V, typical on-resistance rises to ~400Ω and turn-on time extends to ~300ns, but logic thresholds remain compatible (VINH ≈ 2.0V, VINL ≈ 0.5V), allowing direct interface with 3.3V microcontrollers without level shifters.
How does the EN pin interact with individual INx inputs on the MAX4536CSE+?
The EN pin acts as a global override: when EN is high, all four switches are forced open regardless of IN1–IN4 states. When EN is low, each switch responds independently to its corresponding INx input. This enables hierarchical control - e.g., disabling all channels during system sleep while retaining per-channel configuration.
Is the MAX4536CSE+ pin-compatible with the MAX4537CSE+ and MAX4538CSE+?
Yes, all three variants share identical pinouts and package footprints. The difference lies solely in switch configuration: MAX4536CSE+ has four NO switches, MAX4537CSE+ has four NC switches, and MAX4538CSE+ has two NO + two NC. PCBs designed for one can accommodate the others with only firmware logic changes.
