Product details
Overview
MAX4543CPA from Maxim Integrated is a precision dual SPST analog switch with one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) channel, designed for single-supply operation from +2.7V to +12V. It delivers 60Ω max on-resistance, 2Ω max RON matching between channels, 5pC max charge injection, and guaranteed break-before-make switching - enabling reliable signal routing in battery-powered instrumentation and mixed-signal front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4543CPA datasheet, MAX4543CPA pinout, MAX4543CPA application, or MAX4543CPA equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel SPST/SPDT configurability, low leakage (<10nA at +85°C), fast switching (tON = 35ns typ), TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, and Plastic DIP-8 package suitability for prototyping and industrial control interfaces.
Technical Context
The MAX4543CPA integrates two independent analog switches sharing a common logic interface: IN1 controls COM1–NO1/NC1, and IN2 controls COM2–NO2/NC2. Its break-before-make architecture prevents momentary shorting during state transitions - critical for multiplexed sensor inputs and DAC output selection.
It operates bidirectionally across the full analog signal range (GND to V+), supports rail-to-rail logic drive, and maintains stable RON flatness (6Ω max) and matching (2Ω max) over temperature and voltage - ensuring minimal gain error in precision measurement paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | +2.7V to +12V single supply - enables direct interfacing with 3.3V, 5V, and 12V systems without level shifting. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 60Ω max at +5V - ensures <0.1% gain error in 10kΩ impedance signal chains. |
| RON Matching | 2Ω max between channels - preserves amplitude balance in differential or dual-path signal routing. |
| Charge Injection | 5pC max - minimizes voltage glitch on high-impedance nodes (e.g., sample-and-hold capacitors). |
| Leakage Current | 10nA max at +85°C - maintains accuracy in µA-level current-sensing or high-Z sensor interfaces. |
| Switching Speed | tON = 35ns, tOFF = 25ns typ - supports >10MHz multiplexing in data acquisition systems. |
| ESD Protection | 2000V per Method 3015.7 - provides robust handling in manufacturing and field-replaceable modules. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4543CPA is housed in an 8-pin Plastic DIP package (0.300" wide), compatible with through-hole prototyping and industrial PCBs. Pin spacing follows standard 0.1" grid, supporting socket-based test fixtures and legacy board designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NO1) | Analog Switch 1 - Normally Open terminal | Connects to COM1 only when IN1 = logic high; open-circuit otherwise - used for active-high signal enable paths. |
| 2 (COM1) | Analog Switch 1 - Common terminal | Primary analog I/O node for Channel 1; bidirectional - routes signal between NO1 and NC1 based on IN1 state. |
| 3 (IN2) | Digital Control Input 2 | CMOS/TTL-compatible logic input controlling COM2–NO2/NC2; accepts 0V to V+ swing. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | System ground return for analog and digital sections; must be low-impedance to minimize crosstalk. |
| 5 (NC2) | Analog Switch 2 - Normally Closed terminal | Connects to COM2 only when IN2 = logic low; open-circuit when IN2 = high - enables default-path fail-safe routing. |
| 6 (COM2) | Analog Switch 2 - Common terminal | Primary analog I/O node for Channel 2; bidirectional - routes signal between NO2 and NC2 based on IN2 state. |
| 7 (IN1) | Digital Control Input 1 | CMOS/TTL-compatible logic input controlling COM1–NO1/NC1; accepts 0V to V+ swing. |
| 8 (V+) | Positive supply voltage | +2.7V to +12V analog/digital supply; powers internal switch matrix and logic interface - no separate analog/digital rails required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed 2ns min delay between channel disconnect and reconnect - eliminates signal shorting in SPDT-mode operation. |
| RON flatness | 6Ω max variation over full analog signal range (GND to V+) - ensures consistent attenuation across input voltage span. |
| Low power consumption | <5µW quiescent - extends battery life in portable medical devices and handheld test equipment. |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | VINH = 2.4V min, VINL = 0.8V max at +5V supply - allows direct connection to microcontroller GPIO without buffers. |
| Pin compatibility | Direct replacement for MAX323/MAX324/MAX325 in DIP-8 footprint - simplifies legacy design upgrades. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4543CSA | Same electrical specs; SO-8 package (surface-mount, 150°C max operating temp vs. 70°C for CPA) | Preferred for automated SMT production and higher-temperature industrial environments | Select MAX4543CSA for volume PCB assembly; MAX4543CPA remains optimal for breadboarding, repair, or legacy through-hole systems. |
| ADG1419BRUZ | Single SPDT, 4.7Ω RON, ±15V dual supply only - no single +5V operation or break-before-make guarantee | Requires dual-rail supply and external logic translation; unsuitable for battery-powered +5V systems | Choose ADG1419BRUZ only if ultra-low RON and bipolar signal handling are mandatory - not a functional substitute for MAX4543CPA's single-supply SPST/SPDT flexibility. |
Compared with MAX4543CSA, MAX4543CPA offers identical switching performance but trades surface-mount scalability for through-hole serviceability and prototyping ease; versus ADG1419BRUZ, it provides native single-supply operation and guaranteed break-before-make - critical for safe signal routing in cost-sensitive embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4543CPA?
The MAX4543CPA has an absolute maximum supply voltage of +13V, with recommended operating range from +2.7V to +12V. Exceeding +13V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings. At +12V operation, RON drops to ~30Ω typ, improving signal fidelity in high-voltage industrial interfaces - a key advantage confirmed in the Typical Operating Characteristics curves on page 5 of the datasheet.
Does MAX4543CPA support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, MAX4543CPA supports analog signals from GND to V+ without degradation in on-resistance or increased distortion. The datasheet specifies "Analog Signal Range: 0 to V+" and shows RON flatness of ≤6Ω across this full range - verified in Figure 2 (RON vs. COM Voltage). This enables direct connection to op-amp outputs and ADC inputs without clamping or level-shifting circuitry.
Is MAX4543CPA pin-compatible with older Maxim analog switches?
Yes, MAX4543CPA is pin-compatible with MAX323, MAX324, and MAX325 in the 8-pin DIP package. Pin functions match identically: V+, IN1, COM2, NC2, GND, IN2, COM1, NC1. This allows drop-in replacement in legacy designs - confirmed in the "Pin Compatible with MAX323/MAX324/MAX325" feature bullet on page 2 of the datasheet.
What is the guaranteed break-before-make time for MAX4543CPA?
MAX4543CPA guarantees a minimum break-before-make time of 2ns (tD), measured under RL = 300Ω and CL = 35pF conditions at +25°C. This prevents momentary shorting between NO and NC paths during logic transitions - essential for safe SPDT-mode operation in power-sensitive circuits. The specification appears in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3.
Can MAX4543CPA operate from a +3.3V supply?
Yes, MAX4543CPA is fully specified for +3.3V operation (V+ = +3.0V to +3.6V). At +3.3V, typical RON is 125Ω, tON is 80ns, and leakage remains <10nA at +85°C - all validated in the +3.3V Electrical Characteristics table on page 4. Logic inputs remain TTL/CMOS-compatible with VINH = 2.4V and VINL = 0.8V thresholds.
