Product details
Overview
MAX4536ESE 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 precision analog systems. It operates from +2V to +12V single supply or ±2V to ±6V dual supplies, delivers 200Ω max on-resistance (flat within 10Ω), supports 100ns turn-on/80ns turn-off at ±4.5V, and exhibits only 1nA off-leakage at +25°C - enabling high-fidelity audio-signal routing and low-power data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4536ESE datasheet, MAX4536ESE pinout, MAX4536ESE application, or MAX4536ESE equivalent, this device is selected for its TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds (0.8V–2.4V), <2kV ESD protection, matched channel resistance (≤4Ω), and compatibility with industry-standard 74HC4316 layouts in space-constrained portable equipment.
Technical Context
The MAX4536ESE integrates four independent CMOS SPST switches sharing a single EN input, each formed by paralleled N- and P-channel MOSFETs driven out-of-phase by internal level translators. Its analog path is fully isolated from GND, with signal limits defined solely by V+ and V− rails.
Logic inputs interface directly to +5V or ±5V supplies without external level shifting; internal ESD diodes clamp analog pins to V+ and V−, and leakage current flows exclusively to supply terminals-not across channels-ensuring predictable off-isolation (−65dB) and crosstalk (−75dB) performance up to 50MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | +2V to +12V single or ±2V to ±6V dual - enables direct integration into 3.3V, 5V, and ±5V systems without regulators |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 200Ω max at +4.5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in sensor front-ends and DAC outputs |
| RON Flatness | 10Ω max over full signal range - preserves linearity for ±4.5V rail-to-rail analog signals |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA at +25°C - critical for high-impedance sampling circuits and battery-life optimization |
| Switching Speed | tON = 100ns, tOFF = 80ns at ±4.5V - supports multiplexing of audio and medium-speed data streams |
| Logic Compatibility | 0.8V–2.4V input thresholds - interoperates with TTL and CMOS logic without pull-ups or level shifters |
| ESD Protection | >2kV per Method 3015.7 - enhances robustness in handheld test equipment and avionics interfaces |
Pinout & Package
MAX4536ESE is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package, 3.9mm × 9.9mm body, 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, rated for −40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 (COM1–COM4) | Analog common terminal | Bidirectional signal node; interchangeable as input or output; must remain within V− to V+ range |
| 2, 3, 11, 12 (NO1–NO4) | Normally open analog switch terminal | Connects to COM when INx = logic high; open otherwise - defines NO topology per MAX4536 variant |
| 5, 6, 14, 15 (IN1–IN4) | Individual switch control input | Active-high logic; controls corresponding NO switch independently unless overridden by EN |
| 7 (EN) | Global enable input | Logic high disables all four switches regardless of INx states - enables system-level power gating |
| 8 (GND) | Digital ground reference | Reference for logic inputs only; no analog signal reference - decouples digital noise from analog paths |
| 9 (V−) | Negative analog supply | Set to GND for single-supply use; defines lower analog rail limit and P-MOSFET gate drive strength |
| 16 (V+) | Positive analog/digital supply | Powers analog switches and logic; internally connected to substrate; sets upper analog rail and N-MOSFET drive |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin compatibility with 74HC4316 | Direct drop-in replacement in legacy designs using 16-pin DIP/SO/QSOP footprints - zero PCB redesign required |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports signals from V− to V+ without clipping - essential for ±5V op-amp interfaces and unipolar 0–5V sensor outputs |
| Matched on-resistance between channels | ≤4Ω max mismatch - guarantees consistent gain/attenuation across multiplexed channels in data acquisition |
| Charge injection | ≤5pC - minimizes voltage glitches during switching in sample-and-hold and ADC input conditioning |
| Low power consumption | <1µW quiescent - extends battery life in portable medical monitors and handheld test gear |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1414BRUZ | 16-bit SPI-controlled quad SPST; 4.5Ω RON; requires serial interface and external VDD/VSS | Used where programmable sequencing or remote control is needed; not pin-compatible | Select ADG1414BRUZ when digital configurability outweighs layout reuse; MAX4536ESE preferred for simple GPIO-driven routing |
| TS5A3159DCKR | Single-supply only (+1.65V to +5.5V); 0.75Ω RON; 30ns tON; SC70-6 package (6-pin) | Targeted at ultra-low-RON, low-voltage mobile I/O; lacks dual-supply capability and enable pin | Choose TS5A3159DCKR for 3.3V-only, high-speed, space-constrained apps; MAX4536ESE remains optimal for ±5V avionics and mixed-supply systems |
Compared with ADG1414BRUZ and TS5A3159DCKR, the MAX4536ESE uniquely combines dual-supply flexibility, hardware-enable simplicity, and 74HC4316 footprint compatibility - making it the go-to choice for cost-sensitive, layout-conservative upgrades in legacy test and portable instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX4536ESE?
The MAX4536ESE is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C. This extended industrial temperature range ensures reliable performance in portable test equipment, avionics subsystems, and outdoor industrial sensors where ambient conditions vary widely. The 'E' suffix explicitly denotes this grade, distinguishing it from the commercial-grade 'C' versions rated for 0°C to +70°C.
Does the MAX4536ESE support dual-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX4536ESE supports dual-supply operation from ±2.0V to ±6.0V. When configured with V+ = +5V and V− = −5V, it delivers optimal performance: 125Ω typical on-resistance, 100ns turn-on time, and −65dB off-isolation. Caution is required - the absolute maximum V+ to V− differential is 13.0V, so ±6V supplies with 10% tolerance must be verified to avoid overstress.
How does the enable (EN) pin function on the MAX4536ESE?
The EN pin on the MAX4536ESE is an active-high global disable input. When EN = logic high, all four NO switches are forced open regardless of the states of IN1–IN4. When EN = logic low, individual switches respond to their respective INx inputs. This architecture allows centralized power gating while retaining per-channel control - ideal for system-level sleep mode management in battery-powered devices.
Is the MAX4536ESE pin-compatible with the 74HC4316?
Yes, the MAX4536ESE is explicitly designed as a pin-compatible replacement for the industry-standard 74HC4316. It shares identical pin assignments, 16-pin narrow SO footprint, and functional behavior - including NO topology and enable logic - enabling direct substitution in existing PCB layouts without modification or requalification.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX4536ESE?
The MAX4536ESE supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+. With ±5V dual supplies, this means signals from −5V to +5V; with +5V single supply (V− = GND), signals from 0V to +5V. Exceeding these limits forward-biases internal ESD clamps, potentially increasing leakage or damaging the device - proper supply rail design is essential for safe operation.
