Product details
Overview
MAX4552EEE from Maxim Integrated is a quad, low-voltage, normally open (NO) single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch IC rated for -40°C to +85°C operation in 16-pin QSOP package. It delivers 120Ω max on-resistance at ±5V supplies, 4Ω max channel-to-channel on-resistance match, and ±15kV IEC 1000-4-2 ESD protection on NO/NC pins-enabling robust signal routing in battery-powered test equipment and avionics interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4552EEE datasheet, MAX4552EEE pinout, MAX4552EEE application, or MAX4552EEE equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail analog signal handling (±4.5V with ±5V supplies), TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds (1.6V/2.4V), sub-100ns switching times, and verified pin-compatibility with DG212 for drop-in replacement in legacy designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4552EEE implements four independent SPST switches using complementary N- and P-channel MOSFETs driven by level-translated logic inputs. Its internal SCR-based ESD protection activates within nanoseconds during ±15kV contact discharge events, shunting surge current to GND while limiting supply injection via series resistors.
It supports dual supplies (±2V to ±6V) or single supply (+2V to +12V), with V+ internally connected to substrate and logic thresholds scaling with V+ (e.g., 2.4V high threshold at +5V). Analog signal range is rail-to-rail, bounded only by V+ and V-, and off-isolation exceeds -90dB at 100kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (RON) | 120Ω max at ±5V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation in precision data acquisition paths |
| On-resistance match (∆RON) | 4Ω max between channels - critical for matched gain/phase in multi-channel audio or sensor arrays |
| ESD protection | ±15kV per IEC 1000-4-2 on NO/NC pins - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in handheld test gear |
| Switching time (tON/tOFF) | 100ns/100ns typical at ±5V - supports >1MHz multiplexed signal sampling without timing skew |
| Analog signal range | Rail-to-rail (V− to V+) - enables full dynamic range utilization with ±5V or +5V/0V supplies |
| Logic compatibility | TTL/CMOS thresholds (1.6V/2.4V at +5V) - interoperates directly with microcontroller GPIO without level shifters |
| Off-leakage current | 1nA at +25°C, 10nA at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends |
Pinout & Package
MAX4552EEE is housed in a 16-pin QSOP (Quarter-size Outline Package) with 0.061" body width and 0.025" lead pitch. The package is RoHS-compliant and rated for -40°C to +85°C industrial operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8, 9, 16 | IN1–IN4 | Digital control inputs; active-high logic drives NO switches closed |
| 2, 7, 10, 15 | COM1–COM4 | Analog common terminals; bidirectional signal path endpoints |
| 3, 6, 11, 14 | NO1–NO4 | Normally open analog terminals; connect to COM when IN = HIGH |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply input; tie to GND for single-supply operation |
| 5 | GND | Digital ground reference; SCRs shunt ESD to this pin |
| 12 | N.C. | No internal connection; must remain unconnected |
| 13 | V+ | Positive supply and substrate bias; powers logic and analog switches |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports full-swing signals from V− to V+, enabling use with bipolar op-amps and ±5V data converters |
| ±15kV IEC 1000-4-2 ESD protection | Integrated SCRs on NO/NC pins eliminate external protection components and reduce BOM count |
| Pin-compatible with DG212 | Direct replacement in existing layouts without PCB revision, preserving design validation effort |
| Low power consumption | <1µW quiescent supply current - extends battery life in portable instrumentation |
| Flat on-resistance profile | 8Ω max variation over signal range - minimizes harmonic distortion in audio routing applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4552ESE | Same electrical specs and pinout; packaged in 16-pin narrow SO instead of QSOP | Preferred where board space allows larger footprint and higher thermal mass is beneficial | Select for improved manufacturability in wave-soldered assemblies or where QSOP reflow yield is marginal |
| DG212DN | Higher 150Ω RON, no integrated ±15kV ESD protection, requires external clamping | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial controls where ESD risk is mitigated at system level | Choose only when MAX4552EEE's ESD robustness is unnecessary and legacy DG212 layout reuse is mandatory |
Compared with MAX4552ESE and DG212DN, the MAX4552EEE provides identical switching performance in a space-optimized QSOP package with factory-validated ±15kV ESD immunity-reducing system-level protection overhead and enabling compact, field-reliable portable instrumentation designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage range supported by the MAX4552EEE?
The MAX4552EEE operates with dual supplies from ±2V to ±6V or a single supply from +2V to +12V. Absolute maximum ratings specify V+ to V− differential up to 13.0V, so ±5V supplies (10V total) are well within safe limits. For reliable operation, ensure supply tolerances and transient spikes do not exceed this 13.0V limit-especially with ±6V rails where ±10% tolerance yields 13.2V.
Does the MAX4552EEE require external ESD protection components?
No, the MAX4552EEE does not require external ESD protection components on its NO/NC pins. It integrates bidirectional SCRs that provide ±15kV protection per IEC 1000-4-2. However, 100nF bypass capacitors on V+ and V− pins are recommended to absorb residual ESD energy shunted to the supplies, ensuring stable operation during and after discharge events.
How does the MAX4552EEE compare to the MAX4551EEE in terms of switch configuration?
The MAX4552EEE contains four normally open (NO) SPST switches, meaning each switch connects COM to NO only when its corresponding IN pin is logic HIGH. In contrast, the MAX4551EEE has four normally closed (NC) switches-COM connects to NC when IN is LOW. Both share identical electrical specs, pinout, and package; only logic polarity and default state differ, making them functionally complementary rather than interchangeable.
Can the MAX4552EEE operate from a +3.3V single supply?
Yes, the MAX4552EEE is fully specified for +2.7V to +3.6V single-supply operation. At +3.3V, typical on-resistance rises to 500Ω, turn-on time increases to 350ns, and logic thresholds shift to 1.1V (low) and 2.0V (high)-all guaranteed across -40°C to +85°C. This makes it viable for low-voltage portable systems where power efficiency outweighs speed or RON requirements.
Is the MAX4552EEE pin-compatible with industry-standard analog switches?
Yes, the MAX4552EEE is explicitly pin-compatible with the DG212, a widely used industry-standard quad SPST analog switch. This allows direct replacement in existing designs without PCB modifications. Pin mapping for IN, COM, NO, V+, V−, GND, and N.C. matches exactly-enabling seamless migration to MAX4552EEE's superior ±15kV ESD protection and lower leakage performance.
