Product details
Overview
MAX4536EPE 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 - enabling precision signal routing in battery-powered test equipment and portable audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4536EPE datasheet, MAX4536EPE pinout, MAX4536EPE application, or MAX4536EPE equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, package-confirmed pin functions, real-world timing behavior (tON = 100ns @ ±4.5V), leakage performance across temperature, and validated alternatives for low-voltage analog switching designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4536EPE 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 absolute signal limits and contributing to leakage current paths.
It features a shared digital enable (EN) pin that overrides individual IN1–IN4 controls, forcing all four switches open simultaneously. Truth table operation is strictly defined: EN = high disables all switches regardless of IN states; EN = low enables per-channel control via IN1–IN4, with NO1–NO4 closed when corresponding IN_ = high.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | +2V to +12V single supply or ±2V to ±6V dual supply - supports wide battery and split-rail system integration |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 200Ω max at +4.5V single supply - ensures minimal signal attenuation in 50Ω–600Ω impedance interfaces |
| RON Matching | 4Ω max between channels - critical for matched gain/phase in multi-path signal conditioning |
| On-Resistance Flatness | 10Ω max over full signal range - maintains consistent insertion loss across rail-to-rail analog inputs |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C, 10nA max at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends |
| Switching Speed | tON = 100ns, tOFF = 80ns at ±4.5V - enables reliable operation up to ~5MHz in multiplexed data acquisition |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS thresholds (0.8V/2.4V at +5V) - interoperable with standard microcontroller GPIO without level shifters |
Pinout & Package
MAX4536EPE is housed in a 16-pin plastic DIP (dual in-line package) with 0.300" body width and 0.100" lead pitch, rated for -40°C to +85°C industrial operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 (COM1–COM4) | Analog common terminal per switch | Bidirectional node - connects to signal source or load; no ground reference required |
| 2, 3, 11, 12 (NO1–NO4) | Normally open analog switch output | Connects to COMx only when INx = high and EN = low; open-circuit otherwise |
| 5, 6, 14, 15 (IN1–IN4) | Individual channel digital control input | Active-high logic; controls respective NOx switch when EN = low |
| 7 (EN) | Global enable/disable input | High = all switches forced open (NOx disconnected); low = INx controls active |
| 8 (GND) | Digital ground reference | Reference for logic inputs only; analog path is fully floating between V+ and V− |
| 9 (V−) | Negative analog supply | Set to GND for single-supply use; defines lower bound of analog signal range |
| 16 (V+) | Positive analog/digital supply | Powers analog switches and internal logic; internally tied to substrate |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4536CPE | Same functionality and pinout, but rated for 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range | Suitable for non-industrial environments where extended temperature operation is not required | Select MAX4536CPE for cost-sensitive consumer or lab-grade equipment with ambient thermal constraints |
| ADG1414BRUZ | Quad SPST, 1.5Ω typical RON, ±15V supply capable, but requires separate logic supply and has higher 12µA IDD | Better for high-precision, high-voltage industrial DAQ; less suitable for battery operation due to power and supply complexity | Choose ADG1414BRUZ when sub-2Ω RON and ±15V signal swing outweigh battery-life and layout simplicity requirements |
Compared with MAX4536CPE, the MAX4536EPE adds guaranteed -40°C to +85°C operation and tighter leakage specs at temperature extremes; compared with ADG1414BRUZ, it offers simpler single/dual supply operation and 12× lower quiescent current, trading off RON performance for ultra-low-power portability.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4536EPE?
The MAX4536EPE has an absolute maximum V+ to V− differential voltage of 13.0V. For safe operation, dual supplies must stay within ±2V to ±6V (e.g., +5.5V/−5.5V = 11.0V total), and single supplies must not exceed +12V. Exceeding 13.0V risks permanent damage, especially under ±6V with 10% tolerance (13.2V).
Does MAX4536EPE support rail-to-rail analog signals?
Yes, the MAX4536EPE supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+, including operation with V− = GND in single-supply mode. This allows full utilization of the 0V to +5V or ±5V signal range without clipping, confirmed by specification tables showing VCOM_, VNO_, VNC = V− to V+.
What is the on-resistance matching specification for MAX4536EPE?
The MAX4536EPE guarantees ∆RON ≤ 4Ω maximum between any two channels at TA = −40°C to +85°C. This tight matching ensures consistent gain and phase response across switched paths - essential for instrumentation-grade multiplexing and balanced audio routing.
How does the EN pin function on MAX4536EPE?
The EN pin on MAX4536EPE is an active-high global disable. When EN = high, all four NO switches are forced open regardless of IN1–IN4 states. When EN = low, each switch is controlled individually by its corresponding INx input - enabling both synchronous shutdown and independent channel selection.
Is MAX4536EPE pin-compatible with the 74HC4316?
Yes, the MAX4536EPE is explicitly designed as a pin-compatible upgrade to the 74HC4316, sharing identical 16-pin DIP/SO/QSOP footprints and logic-level compatibility. It improves upon the 74HC4316 with lower on-resistance, flatter RON vs. voltage, and enhanced ESD protection (>2kV HBM).
