Product details
Overview
MAX4536EEE 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 max off-leakage at +25°C - used in battery-operated audio-signal routing and portable test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4536EEE datasheet, MAX4536EEE pinout, MAX4536EEE application, or MAX4536EEE equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, QSOP-16 package details, truth-table–validated switching behavior, leakage and timing performance across ±4.5V/+4.5V supplies, and direct alternatives for low-voltage analog multiplexing.
Technical Context
The MAX4536EEE 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 internal ESD diodes clamp analog pins to V+ and V−, defining leakage paths and limiting signal range to the supply rails.
Switch control combines individual IN1–IN4 logic inputs with a global EN pin: all switches open when EN = high, and each NO switch closes only when its corresponding IN_ = high and EN = low. Timing is characterized at ±4.5V (tON = 125ns, tOFF = 60ns) and +4.5V (tON = 100ns, tOFF = 80ns), with break-before-make absent (MAX4538-only feature).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | +2V to +12V single supply or ±2V to ±6V dual supply - supports rail-to-rail analog signals without level-shifting. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 200Ω max at +4.5V single supply - ensures minimal signal attenuation in low-current analog paths. |
| RON Matching | ≤4Ω max between channels - critical for matched gain/attenuation in multi-channel instrumentation. |
| On-Resistance Flatness | ≤10Ω max over full signal range - maintains consistent insertion loss across ±4.5V input swing. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C, 10nA max at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor front-ends. |
| Switching Speed | tON = 100ns / tOFF = 80ns at +4.5V - enables sub-10MHz multiplexing in data acquisition systems. |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS thresholds (0.8V/2.4V at +5V) - interfaces directly with microcontrollers and FPGAs without buffers. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4536EEE is housed in a 16-pin QSOP (Quarter Size Outline Package) with 0.635mm pitch, 3.99mm × 4.98mm body, and exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is COM1; pin 16 is V+; pin 8 is GND; pin 7 is EN; pins 2,3,11,12 are NO1–NO4; pins 1,4,10,13 are COM1–COM4; pins 5,6,14,15 are IN1–IN4; pin 9 is V−.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 (COM1–COM4) | Analog common terminal per switch | Bi-directional signal path node - connects to source or load depending on system topology. |
| 2, 3, 11, 12 (NO1–NO4) | Normally open analog switch output | Open-circuit when disabled; closed only when INx = high AND EN = low - no default conduction path. |
| 5, 6, 14, 15 (IN1–IN4) | Individual switch control input | Active-high logic input - controls one NO switch independently of others when EN = low. |
| 7 (EN) | Global enable/disable input | Active-low enable - high state forces all four switches open regardless of INx states. |
| 8 (GND) | Digital ground reference | Reference for logic inputs only; no analog current return path - analog signals float between V+ and V−. |
| 9 (V−) | Negative analog supply | Required for dual-supply operation; tied to GND for single-supply use - sets lower analog voltage limit. |
| 16 (V+) | Positive analog/digital supply | Powers analog switches and internal logic; internally connected to substrate - defines upper analog voltage limit. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin compatibility with 74HC4316 | Direct drop-in replacement in legacy designs using industry-standard 16-pin SO/DIP footprints. |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports input/output voltages from V− to V+ - eliminates need for external biasing in ±5V or +5V systems. |
| Low 1nA off-leakage at +25°C | Preserves DC accuracy in high-impedance medical sensor and precision measurement circuits. |
| 100ns turn-on time at +4.5V | Enables fast channel selection in portable multimeters and automated test equipment scan sequences. |
| 2kV ESD protection (HBM) | Withstands handling and board-level transients without external protection components. |
| Small QSOP-16 package | 3.99mm × 4.98mm footprint - saves PCB area in space-constrained handheld instruments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4536ESE | Same electrical specs and pinout; Narrow SO-16 package (4.9mm × 6.0mm) vs. QSOP-16 (3.99mm × 4.98mm) | Preferred where board real estate allows larger SO footprint and reflow compatibility with standard SO pick-and-place | Select MAX4536ESE for legacy SO-based designs or when thermal dissipation >696mW is required. |
| ADG1414BRUZ | Quad SPST, 1.5Ω RON, but requires ≥±4.5V dual or ≥9V single supply; 16-TSSOP package; no common enable pin | Suitable for high-precision, high-speed applications where ultra-low RON outweighs supply flexibility and enable simplicity | Choose ADG1414BRUZ only if RON <5Ω is mandatory and supply rails support ≥±4.5V or ≥9V. |
Compared with MAX4536ESE and ADG1414BRUZ, the MAX4536EEE offers the smallest footprint and widest supply range (+2V to +12V), making it optimal for compact, battery-sensitive designs requiring simple global enable control - whereas MAX4536ESE trades size for thermal margin, and ADG1414BRUZ sacrifices supply flexibility for ultra-low on-resistance.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MAX4536EEE?
The MAX4536EEE is rated for -40°C to +85°C ambient operation, validated per the Electrical Characteristics tables in the official datasheet. This extended temperature grade makes it suitable for industrial and automotive cabin applications where thermal cycling and long-term reliability are critical. All key parameters - including on-resistance, leakage, and switching times - are specified across this full range.
Does the MAX4536EEE support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX4536EEE supports single-supply operation from +2V to +12V. In this configuration, V− must be connected to GND, and analog signals are limited to 0V to V+. The device maintains rail-to-rail signal handling, 200Ω max RON, and TTL/CMOS logic compatibility - confirmed in the +5V and +3V single-supply Electrical Characteristics sections of the datasheet.
How does the enable (EN) pin function on the MAX4536EEE?
The EN pin on the MAX4536EEE is an active-low global control: when EN = high, all four NO switches are forced open regardless of IN1–IN4 states. When EN = low, each switch responds individually to its respective INx input. This architecture simplifies system-level power gating and fault isolation - a behavior explicitly defined in the Truth Tables and Pin Description sections of the MAX4536EEE datasheet.
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage differential for the MAX4536EEE?
The absolute maximum V+ to V− differential voltage for the MAX4536EEE is 13.0V. Exceeding this - even momentarily due to overshoot or tolerance stack-up (e.g., ±6V supplies with ±10% tolerance yield 13.2V) - risks permanent damage. Designers must ensure supply rails comply, especially in dual-supply configurations where V+ and V− are independently regulated.
Is the MAX4536EEE pin-compatible with the 74HC4316?
Yes, the MAX4536EEE is explicitly designed as a pin-compatible replacement for the 74HC4316, sharing identical 16-pin DIP/SO/QSOP pinouts and logic-level thresholds. This allows direct substitution in existing layouts without PCB modification - a claim verified in the General Description and Ordering Information sections of the MAX4536EEE datasheet.
