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 matching, 10Ω max on-resistance flatness, 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, key selection criteria include its TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds (0.8V–2.4V), 100ns turn-on time at ±4.5V, <1µW quiescent power, 2kV ESD protection, and pin compatibility with 74HC4316 for drop-in replacement in legacy designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4536CSE uses complementary CMOS switch architecture with independent N- and P-channel MOSFETs per channel, driven by logic-level translators that convert TTL/CMOS inputs into full-rail gate drive signals referenced to V+ and V−. Its analog path is fully isolated from GND, supporting true rail-to-rail operation without ground reference.
Internal reverse-biased ESD diodes clamp analog pins to V+ and V−, defining absolute signal limits and contributing to leakage current; leakage is specified at ±10nA max at +85°C and flows entirely to supply rails-not across channels-ensuring predictable signal-path behavior in high-impedance circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | +2V to +12V single supply or ±2V to ±6V dual supply - supports wide input voltage flexibility in mixed-signal and portable systems. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 200Ω max at +4.5V single supply - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision analog paths. |
| RON Matching | 4Ω max between channels - critical for matched gain/attenuation in multi-channel instrumentation and audio mixing. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C, 10nA max at +85°C - preserves DC accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and sample-hold circuits. |
| Switching Speed | tON = 100ns, tOFF = 80ns at ±4.5V - enables reliable multiplexing of audio and medium-speed control signals up to ~5MHz. |
| Logic Compatibility | 0.8V–2.4V input thresholds with +5V or ±5V supplies - guarantees interoperability with standard TTL and CMOS logic families. |
| ESD Protection | >2kV per Method 3015.7 - provides robust handling during board assembly and field operation without external protection. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4536CSE is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package, 0.150-inch body width, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and 1.27mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is marked with a beveled corner or dot; device orientation follows standard SOIC conventions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 (COM1–COM4) | Analog common terminal per switch | Bidirectional signal node; connects to source or load depending on system topology - no internal polarity bias. |
| 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 - defines default isolation state. |
| 5, 6, 14, 15 (IN1–IN4) | Individual switch control inputs | Active-high logic inputs; each independently enables its corresponding NO switch unless overridden by EN. |
| 7 (EN) | Global enable/disable input | Active-high master control: logic high forces all switches open regardless of INx states - enables system-level power gating. |
| 8 (GND) | Digital ground reference | Reference for logic inputs only; no analog signal return path - prevents ground-loop coupling in mixed-signal layouts. |
| 9 (V−) | Negative analog supply | Connect to GND for single-supply operation; sets lower analog signal limit and biases P-channel switch gates. |
| 16 (V+) | Positive analog/digital supply | Drives analog switches and internal logic; internally tied to substrate - must be decoupled near pin for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports input/output signals from V− to V+, eliminating level-shifting requirements in ±5V or +3.3V systems. |
| Pin compatibility with 74HC4316 | Direct PCB-level replacement in existing 74HC4316 designs without layout changes or firmware updates. |
| Break-before-make timing (MAX4538 only) | Not applicable - MAX4536CSE has NO-only configuration; no break-before-make function implemented. |
| Ultra-low power consumption | <1µW typical supply current - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and portable medical devices. |
| Low charge injection (1pC typ) | Minimizes voltage glitch on sampled nodes - essential for high-resolution ADC front-ends and precision sample-and-hold. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4536ESE | Extended temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) vs. MAX4536CSE (0°C to +70°C); identical electrical specs and pinout. | Suitable for industrial or automotive under-hood environments where ambient exceeds 70°C. | Select MAX4536ESE when operating temperature exceeds 70°C; otherwise MAX4536CSE is optimal for commercial-grade cost-sensitive designs. |
| ADG1414BRUZ | Higher on-resistance (1.8Ω typ), wider supply (±5V to ±22V), but no common enable pin - requires four separate control lines. | Better suited for high-voltage industrial signal conditioning; lacks integrated global disable for system-level power control. | Choose ADG1414BRUZ only if >±15V operation or sub-2Ω RON is required; MAX4536CSE remains preferred for enable-driven power management. |
Compared with MAX4536ESE, the MAX4536CSE trades extended temperature capability for lower cost and qualification in commercial environments; compared with ADG1414BRUZ, it offers integrated enable and lower supply voltage operation but at higher on-resistance - making it ideal for battery-powered, space-constrained, and cost-sensitive analog routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4536CSE?
The MAX4536CSE has an absolute maximum V+ to V− differential voltage of 13.0V. For safe operation, use ≤±6V dual supplies or ≤+12V single supply (with V− = GND). Exceeding 13.0V - even momentarily due to tolerance or noise - risks permanent damage. Always verify supply rail margins, especially with ±5% or ±10% tolerant regulators.
Does MAX4536CSE support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, MAX4536CSE supports true rail-to-rail analog signal switching from V− to V+. With V− = GND and V+ = +5V, signals from 0V to +5V pass unattenuated; with ±5V supplies, signals from −5V to +5V are fully supported. This eliminates level-shifting circuitry in most mixed-signal interface applications.
Is MAX4536CSE pin-compatible with the 74HC4316?
Yes, MAX4536CSE is explicitly designed as a pin-compatible upgrade to the industry-standard 74HC4316. It shares identical pin assignments, package outline (16-pin narrow SO), and logic-level compatibility - enabling direct replacement without PCB or firmware modification in legacy designs.
What is the typical on-resistance flatness of MAX4536CSE over its signal range?
The MAX4536CSE specifies on-resistance flatness (RFLAT(ON)) of ≤15Ω max over the full analog signal range. This tight flatness ensures minimal THD and amplitude variation across the signal swing - critical for audio fidelity and precision measurement accuracy in data acquisition systems using the MAX4536CSE.
Can MAX4536CSE operate from a +3.3V single supply?
Yes, MAX4536CSE operates from +2.0V to +12V single supply. At +3.3V, it maintains full functionality with verified logic thresholds (VINL = 0.5V–0.9V, VINH = 0.9V–2.0V), though on-resistance increases to ~600Ω max and switching speed slows (tON ≈ 300ns). System validation at actual operating voltage is recommended.
