Product details
Overview
MAX4543ESA from Maxim Integrated is a precision dual SPST analog switch with one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) channel, designed for single +2.7V to +12V supply operation. 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 audio multiplexing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4543ESA datasheet, MAX4543ESA pinout, MAX4543ESA application, or MAX4543ESA equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, SO-8 package compatibility, low leakage (<10nA at +85°C), fast tON/tOFF (35ns/25ns typ), and TTL/CMOS logic compatibility across supply voltages.
Technical Context
The MAX4543ESA implements a dual-channel analog switch architecture where Channel 1 (COM1/NO1/NC1) and Channel 2 (COM2/NO2/NC2) operate independently under separate digital control inputs (IN1, IN2). Each channel guarantees break-before-make timing (tD = 2–10ns) to prevent signal shorting during state transitions.
It supports rail-to-rail analog signal switching from GND to V+, maintains <6Ω RON flatness over the full signal range, and features internal ESD protection (>2000V per Method 3015.7). Its 5µW typical power consumption and 100pA max off-leakage support ultra-low-power portable designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.7V to +12V single supply - enables direct interface with 3.3V, 5V, and 12V systems without level shifting. |
| 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 - reduces voltage glitch and settling error in sample-and-hold and ADC front-end applications. |
| Turn-On/Off Time | tON = 35ns, tOFF = 25ns (typ @ +5V) - supports high-speed multiplexing up to ~10MHz switching rates. |
| Leakage Current | 10nA max at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and battery-monitoring circuits. |
| ESD Protection | >2000V per Method 3015.7 - provides robust handling margin during board assembly and field operation. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4543ESA is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with standard 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, and rated for -40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NO1) | Analog Switch 1 - Normally Open terminal | Connects to COM1 only when IN1 = logic high; used for active-high signal path enable. |
| 2 (COM1) | Analog Switch 1 - Common terminal | Primary analog I/O node for Channel 1; bidirectional signal path shared with NO1 and NC1. |
| 3 (IN2) | Digital Control Input 2 | CMOS/TTL-compatible input controlling Channel 2 state; referenced to V+ and GND. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground - Negative Supply Input | Reference plane for analog signals and logic thresholds; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 5 (NC2) | Analog Switch 2 - Normally Closed terminal | Connects to COM2 when IN2 = logic low; provides default signal path in fail-safe configurations. |
| 6 (COM2) | Analog Switch 2 - Common terminal | Primary analog I/O node for Channel 2; supports independent routing from Channel 1. |
| 7 (IN1) | Digital Control Input 1 | CMOS/TTL-compatible input controlling Channel 1 state; enables synchronous or independent switching. |
| 8 (V+) | Positive Supply Voltage Input | Single supply rail powering both analog and logic sections; accepts +2.7V to +12V with no external regulators. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed Break-Before-Make | Ensures no overlap between NO and NC conduction in MAX4543ESA's SPDT-equivalent configuration, preventing momentary shorts in critical signal paths. |
| Low RON Flatness (6Ω max) | Maintains consistent gain and linearity across the full 0V–V+ analog input range, essential for precision DAC/ADC interfacing. |
| TTL/CMOS Logic Compatibility | Operates with standard 0.8V/2.4V thresholds at +5V supply and supports rail-to-rail logic drive at other voltages, simplifying controller interface. |
| Pin Compatibility with MAX323/MAX324/MAX325 | Enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs using those older analog switches, reducing redesign effort and qualification time. |
| 2000V+ ESD Protection | Eliminates need for external ESD diodes in most end-equipment environments, saving PCB area and BOM cost. |

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 (vs. SO-8); same electrical specs and -40°C to +85°C rating. | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs; requires re-layout due to different footprint and thermal pad (EP). | Select MAX4543EKA-T when board area is critical and thermal performance via exposed pad is required. |
| MAX4542ESA | Dual NC-only configuration (no NO terminals); identical RON, leakage, speed, and package. | Suitable for fail-closed signal paths (e.g., safety interlocks), but cannot replicate MAX4543ESA's SPDT-equivalent functionality. | Choose MAX4542ESA only if both channels require normally closed behavior and SPDT emulation is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX4543EKA-T, the MAX4543ESA offers easier soldering and thermal management in standard SO-8 footprints; compared with MAX4542ESA, it uniquely supports mixed NO/NC topology essential for true SPDT-equivalent operation in signal routing and redundancy switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4543ESA?
The MAX4543ESA has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+) 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 power efficiency in high-voltage signal chains while maintaining 5pC charge injection and 2000V ESD protection.
Does MAX4543ESA support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, MAX4543ESA supports analog signals from GND to V+ across its full operating supply range. The device's CMOS process and internal architecture ensure minimal RON variation (<6Ω flatness) over the entire 0V–V+ span, verified in Typical Operating Characteristics plots. This enables accurate switching of ±10V industrial signals at +12V supply or 0–3.3V sensor outputs at +3.3V supply without external biasing.
Is MAX4543ESA pin-compatible with older Maxim analog switches?
Yes, MAX4543ESA is pin-compatible with MAX323, MAX324, and MAX325 in the 8-pin SO package. Pin functions (V+, IN1, COM2, NC2, GND, IN2, COM1, NC1) align directly, allowing drop-in replacement in legacy designs. Electrical improvements-including lower RON (60Ω vs. 90Ω), reduced charge injection (5pC vs. 15pC), and enhanced ESD rating (>2000V vs. 2kV)-deliver immediate performance uplift without layout changes.
What is the guaranteed break-before-make timing for MAX4543ESA?
MAX4543ESA guarantees break-before-make operation with a minimum delay (tD) of 2ns and maximum of 10ns (at +25°C, RL = 300Ω, CL = 35pF), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This timing prevents simultaneous conduction between NO1 and NC1 (or NO2 and NC2), eliminating signal shorting during channel transitions-critical for protecting downstream circuitry in PLC I/O modules and medical diagnostic equipment.
How does MAX4543ESA perform at elevated temperatures?
MAX4543ESA is rated for -40°C to +85°C operation, with leakage current specified at ≤10nA max at +85°C and RON increasing by <15% versus +25°C values. On-resistance flatness remains ≤6Ω across temperature, and switching times degrade only modestly (tON ≤ 100ns max at +85°C). These characteristics are validated per data sheet testing and make MAX4543ESA suitable for under-hood automotive sensors and industrial motor drives.
