Product details
Overview
MAX4543EPA from Maxim Integrated is a precision dual SPST analog switch with one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) channel, enabling SPDT functionality in a single +2.7V to +12V supply system. It delivers 60Ω max on-resistance, 2Ω max RON matching between channels, 5pC max charge injection, and guaranteed break-before-make switching-ideal for sample-and-hold circuits and audio/video signal routing in battery-powered test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4543EPA datasheet, MAX4543EPA pinout, MAX4543EPA application, or MAX4543EPA equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating, 8-pin plastic DIP package, TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, and verified break-before-make timing (2ns min, 10ns max) critical for preventing signal shorting during channel transitions.
Technical Context
The MAX4543EPA implements complementary MOSFET switch pairs per channel with integrated level-shifting logic to ensure rail-to-rail analog signal handling (0V to V+) and robust ESD protection (>2000V per Method 3015.7). Its break-before-make architecture is hardwired-not software-configurable-and active only during logic transitions between IN1/IN2 inputs.
Switch operation is fully bidirectional: COM1/COM2 serve as common terminals, NO1/NC1 and NO2/NC2 as selectable paths, with all analog pins supporting equal current sourcing/sinking (±10mA continuous). Leakage remains ≤10nA at +85°C, and dynamic performance is specified at +5V (tON = 35ns typ, tOFF = 25ns typ) and +3.3V (tON = 80ns typ, tOFF = 50ns typ).
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 systems without level shifters. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 60Ω max at +5V-ensures minimal signal attenuation and distortion in precision analog paths. |
| RON Matching | 2Ω max between channels-critical for matched gain/phase in differential or dual-path signal conditioning. |
| Charge Injection | 5pC max-limits voltage glitch on sampled capacitors in data acquisition front-ends. |
| Break-Before-Make Time | 2ns to 10ns-prevents momentary short-circuit between NC and NO paths during switching. |
| ESD Protection | >2000V per Method 3015.7-reduces need for external transient suppression in handheld test gear. |
| Leakage Current | 10nA max at +85°C-maintains accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and battery-monitoring circuits. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4543EPA uses an 8-pin plastic DIP (dual in-line package) with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is identified by a notch or dot; pin numbering follows standard DIP convention (counterclockwise from top-left corner).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (V+) | Positive Supply Input | Accepts +2.7V to +12V; must be applied before analog/logic signals to prevent latch-up. |
| 2 (IN1) | Digital Control Input 1 | TTL/CMOS-compatible; controls COM1–NO1/NC1 path; low = NO1 closed (for MAX4543), high = NC1 closed. |
| 3 (COM2) | Analog Switch 2 Common | Bidirectional terminal; connects to NC2 or NO2 based on IN2 state; supports full V+ to GND signal swing. |
| 4 (NC2) | Analog Switch 2 Normally Closed | Internally connected to COM2 when IN2 = low; open when IN2 = high-no external pull required. |
| 5 (GND) | Ground Reference | System ground return; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling into analog paths. |
| 6 (IN2) | Digital Control Input 2 | Independent control of COM2–NO2/NC2; enables asynchronous dual-channel switching. |
| 7 (COM1) | Analog Switch 1 Common | Primary signal path terminal; paired with NO1 (pin 8) and NC1 (pin 4); shares same electrical specs as COM2. |
| 8 (NO1) | Analog Switch 1 Normally Open | Connects to COM1 only when IN1 = high; isolated otherwise-supports fail-safe open-circuit default. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed Break-Before-Make | Hardwired timing ensures NC disconnect occurs before NO connect-eliminates cross-conduction risk in SPDT mode. |
| Low Charge Injection (5pC max) | Minimizes settling error in capacitor-coupled stages like sample-and-hold amplifiers and ADC drivers. |
| 6Ω max RON Flatness | On-resistance varies ≤6Ω across full 0V–V+ analog range-preserves linearity in audio and instrumentation signals. |
| TTL/CMOS Logic Compatibility | Operates with standard 5V logic thresholds; also accepts rail-to-rail inputs up to V+, simplifying controller interfacing. |
| 2000V+ ESD Protection | Withstands repeated human-body-model discharges-reduces field failure rate in unshielded test equipment. |
Applications
| Sample-and-Hold Circuits | Audio Signal Routing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Capturing precise voltage levels from sensors or transducers for ADC conversion in portable data loggers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel analog switch isolating hold capacitor from input source during acquisition phase; break-before-make prevents charge sharing.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual SPST configuration (COM1/NO1 + COM2/NO2) used as independent signal gates, controlled by separate logic lines. Use Value: 60Ω RON flatness maintains consistent gain across measurement ranges; low power (5µW) extends battery life in handheld units. | Use Scenario: Switching antenna paths or IF filters in compact tactical radios operating across wide temperature (-40°C to +85°C).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPST/SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4543ETA | TDFN-EP package (8-pin, exposed pad); 1951mW power dissipation vs. 727mW for DIP; same electrical specs. | Surface-mount assembly; requires thermal pad soldering; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or manual repair. | Select MAX4543ETA for space-constrained PCBs needing enhanced thermal performance; retain MAX4543EPA for serviceability and legacy DIP layouts. |
| ADG1419BRUZ | Single SPDT, 4.7Ω RON max, ±15V dual supply only; no break-before-make guarantee; different pinout. | Requires dual-supply design; lacks guaranteed transition safety; incompatible pin mapping precludes drop-in replacement. | Choose ADG1419BRUZ only if lower RON and dual-supply operation are mandatory; MAX4543EPA remains preferred for single-supply, safety-critical SPDT routing. |
Compared with MAX4543ETA and ADG1419BRUZ, the MAX4543EPA uniquely combines through-hole manufacturability, guaranteed break-before-make timing, and single-supply flexibility-making it optimal for ruggedized, repairable, and thermally undemanding industrial test platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4543EPA?
The MAX4543EPA has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+) of +13V, but its recommended operating range is +2.7V to +12V. Exceeding +13V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings. At +12V, RON drops to ~30Ω (typ), improving signal fidelity in high-voltage analog paths while maintaining 5pC charge injection and 2000V ESD protection.
Does MAX4543EPA support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, the MAX4543EPA supports rail-to-rail analog signals from GND to V+ across all channels (COM1/NO1/NC1 and COM2/NO2/NC2). This is enabled by its CMOS switch architecture and internal level-shifting logic, ensuring minimal on-resistance variation (<6Ω flatness) and <10nA leakage at +85°C-critical for accurate signal transmission in data acquisition systems using the MAX4543EPA.
Is break-before-make timing guaranteed for MAX4543EPA?
Yes, break-before-make timing is guaranteed for the MAX4543EPA, with a specified delay (tD) of 2ns minimum to 10ns maximum at +25°C (RL = 300Ω, CL = 35pF). This hardwired feature prevents simultaneous conduction between NC and NO paths during logic transitions-essential for safe SPDT operation in the MAX4543EPA and confirmed in Figures 3a and 3b of the datasheet.
What is the thermal performance of MAX4543EPA in plastic DIP package?
The MAX4543EPA in plastic DIP has a continuous power dissipation of 727mW at +70°C, derating linearly at 9.09mW/°C above that temperature. At +85°C ambient, usable power drops to ~591mW. This allows reliable operation in enclosed test equipment enclosures without forced airflow, provided PCB copper area around pins 1 (V+) and 5 (GND) is maximized for heat spreading in the MAX4543EPA layout.
Can MAX4543EPA replace MAX323 in existing designs?
The MAX4543EPA is pin-compatible with the MAX323 per datasheet Feature list, sharing identical pin functions and logic behavior in DIP packages. However, the MAX4543EPA offers superior specs: 60Ω vs. 100Ω RON, 5pC vs. 15pC charge injection, and guaranteed break-before-make-making it a functional upgrade. No PCB changes are needed, but verify timing margins given faster tON/tOFF in the MAX4543EPA.
