Product details
Overview
The MAX4543CSA 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, and guaranteed break-before-make switching - enabling reliable signal routing in mixed-voltage data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4543CSA datasheet, MAX4543CSA pinout, MAX4543CSA application, or MAX4543CSA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5pC max charge injection, 100pA max leakage at +25°C, TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, SOT23-8 package footprint, and verified performance in battery-powered instrumentation and audio multiplexing.
Technical Context
The MAX4543CSA implements a dual-channel, single-pole configuration where Channel 1 is NO and Channel 2 is NC - allowing it to function as a compact SPDT switch without external components. Its CMOS transmission-gate architecture supports bidirectional analog signal flow across the full V+ to GND range with minimal distortion.
Break-before-make timing is guaranteed at 2ns min / 10ns max (tD) under +5V supply and 35pF load conditions, preventing momentary short-circuits during channel transitions. Logic inputs accept rail-to-rail voltage levels and remain compatible with TTL thresholds when operated at +5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | +2.7V to +12V single supply - enables direct interface with 3.3V, 5V, and 12V system rails without level shifting. |
| RON (max) | 60Ω at +5V - ensures low insertion loss and minimal gain error in precision sensor front-ends. |
| RON Matching | 2Ω max between channels - critical for matched-path applications like differential signal switching or dual ADC sampling. |
| Charge Injection | 5pC max - limits voltage glitch on high-impedance nodes (e.g., sample-and-hold capacitors), preserving DC accuracy. |
| tON/tOFF | 35ns / 25ns typical at +5V - supports >10MHz analog multiplexing in real-time control loops. |
| Leakage Current | 100pA max at +25°C - maintains signal integrity in nanoamp-level current measurement circuits. |
| ESD Protection | 2000V per Method 3015.7 - provides robust handling margin during board assembly and field service. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4543CSA is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with standard 1.27mm pitch, compatible with automated PCB assembly and reflow processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - COM1 | Analog common terminal, Channel 1 | Bidirectional path for signal routing; connects to NO1 when IN1 = logic high (NO configuration). |
| 2 - IN1 | Digital control input, Channel 1 | TTL/CMOS-compatible; high = connect COM1 to NO1, low = disconnect (open circuit). |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for supply current and logic threshold reference; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 4 - NC2 | Not internally connected (Channel 2) | No internal bond wire; electrically isolated - may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability. |
| 5 - COM2 | Analog common terminal, Channel 2 | Bidirectional path; connects to NC2 when IN2 = logic low (NC configuration), open when IN2 = high. |
| 6 - IN2 | Digital control input, Channel 2 | Inverted logic sense vs. IN1: low enables COM2–NC2 path; high disables both paths (break-before-make active). |
| 7 - NO1 | Normally open terminal, Channel 1 | Only conducts when IN1 = high; used for active-high signal gating in power sequencing or enable paths. |
| 8 - V+ | Positive supply input | Accepts +2.7V to +12V; powers internal logic and analog switches; must be bypassed with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed break-before-make | Ensures no overlap between NO1 and NC2 conduction states - eliminates signal shorting in SPDT emulation mode. |
| 6Ω max RON flatness | Maintains consistent on-resistance across 0V to V+ analog swing - minimizes harmonic distortion in audio and video signals. |
| Low 5µW quiescent power | Draws ≤1µA supply current at +5V - extends battery life in portable medical monitors and handheld test gear. |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | Operates with standard 0.8V/2.4V thresholds at +5V - eliminates need for external logic translators in microcontroller-driven systems. |
| Pin compatibility with MAX323/324/325 | Enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs using those older analog switches - reduces redesign effort and qualification time. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4543EKA-T | SOT23-8 package with AAAG top mark; rated for -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range vs. MAX4543CSA's 0°C to +70°C commercial grade. | Required for extended-temperature deployments such as outdoor metering or under-hood automotive modules. | Select MAX4543EKA-T when operating ambient exceeds +70°C or storage below 0°C is expected. |
| MAX4542CSA | Dual NC configuration (vs. MAX4543CSA's NO/NC); identical pinout, package, and electrical specs except logic polarity and channel behavior. | Suitable for fail-safe signal blocking (e.g., disabling sensor inputs during fault conditions) rather than SPDT emulation. | Choose MAX4542CSA only if both channels must default closed; MAX4543CSA remains optimal for true SPDT functionality. |
Compared with MAX4543EKA-T, the MAX4543CSA offers lower cost and faster lead times for commercial-grade applications, while MAX4542CSA provides complementary logic behavior but cannot replicate the break-before-make SPDT operation essential for signal integrity in multiplexed systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX4543CSA?
The MAX4543CSA supports analog signals from GND to V+, meaning its full-range operation spans 0V to the applied positive supply voltage - up to +12V. This rail-to-rail capability allows direct interfacing with sensors, DACs, and ADCs without external level-shifting circuitry, and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Analog Signal Range" with VCOM_, VNO_, VNC_ specified as 0 to V+.
Does the MAX4543CSA require dual supplies or negative voltage support?
No, the MAX4543CSA operates exclusively from a single positive supply (V+) ranging from +2.7V to +12V and does not require a negative rail or split supply. Its internal architecture uses CMOS transmission gates referenced to GND, and all absolute maximum ratings - including analog input voltage limits - are defined relative to GND, confirming true single-supply operation.
Is the MAX4543CSA pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX454x family?
Yes, the MAX4543CSA shares identical pinout and package (8-pin SO) with MAX4541CSA and MAX4542CSA, enabling direct substitution in layouts designed for those variants. However, functional behavior differs: MAX4541CSA is dual-NO, MAX4542CSA is dual-NC, while MAX4543CSA combines one NO and one NC channel with guaranteed break-before-make timing - a distinction confirmed in the Pin Configurations and Truth Tables section.
What is the guaranteed break-before-make timing specification for the MAX4543CSA?
The MAX4543CSA guarantees a break-before-make interval (tD) of 2ns minimum to 10ns maximum when tested at +5V supply, RL = 300Ω, and CL = 35pF, as documented in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Break-Before-Make Time Delay". This parameter applies only to the MAX4543 and MAX4544 variants - not to MAX4541 or MAX4542 - and ensures safe channel transition without signal shorting.
Can the MAX4543CSA be used in battery-powered equipment?
Yes, the MAX4543CSA is explicitly optimized for battery-powered equipment, consuming less than 5µW typical quiescent power (I+ ≤ ±1µA at +5V). Its low 100pA max leakage current at +25°C and wide +2.7V minimum supply enable operation down to near-dead battery voltages in portable medical devices, handheld testers, and wireless sensor nodes - a key design goal stated in the General Description.
