Product details
Overview
The MAX4553CPE from Maxim Integrated is a quad, low-voltage, SPST analog switch IC with two normally closed (NC) and two normally open (NO) channels, ±15kV IEC 1000-4-2 ESD protection on NC/NO pins, 120Ω max on-resistance at ±5V supplies, rail-to-rail analog signal handling, and break-before-make timing for channel switching integrity-used in audio routing and test equipment signal path control.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4553CPE datasheet, MAX4553CPE pinout, MAX4553CPE application, or MAX4553CPE equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping, functional pin roles, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for analog signal switching in battery-powered and industrial instrumentation designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4553CPE integrates four independent CMOS SPST switches with dual internal SCR-based ESD protection on NC/NO terminals, enabling ±15kV contact discharge immunity without latchup. Its logic-level translators accept TTL/CMOS inputs across +2.7V to +12V single or ±2V to ±6V dual supplies, driving complementary N/P-channel MOSFETs per switch path.
Each switch features matched on-resistance (≤4Ω max mismatch), flat on-resistance (≤8Ω variation over signal range), and low charge injection (≤5pC), supporting precision signal routing where leakage (<1nA COM off-leakage at +25°C) and crosstalk (<−90dB) are critical-especially in multiplexed data acquisition front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (RON) | 120Ω max at ±5V supplies - defines maximum insertion loss and voltage drop in signal paths carrying up to ±4.5V analog signals. |
| On-resistance match (∆RON) | 4Ω max between channels - ensures consistent gain/attenuation across switched channels in multi-path signal conditioning. |
| Off-leakage current (ICOM_OFF) | 10nA max at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and sample-and-hold circuits. |
| ESD protection | ±15kV per IEC 1000-4-2 on NC/NO pins - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in handheld test gear and avionics I/O modules. |
| Break-before-make delay (tBBM) | 5–30ns at +25°C - prevents momentary shorting during channel reconfiguration in audio crosspoint matrices. |
| Supply range | +2V to +12V single or ±2V to ±6V dual - supports operation from Li-ion battery (3.3V) to industrial ±5V rails without level-shifting. |
| Logic thresholds | VIN_H = 2.4V, VIN_L = 0.8V at +5V supply - guarantees direct interface with standard TTL/CMOS controllers without pull-ups or buffers. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4553CPE uses a 16-pin plastic DIP package (0.300" wide), RoHS-compliant, with through-hole mounting and 0.1" pin pitch. Pin 12 is no-connect (N.C.).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8, 9, 16 | IN1–IN4 | Digital control inputs; active-high logic drives corresponding switch state (NO/NC). |
| 2, 7, 10, 15 | COM1–COM4 | Analog common terminals; bidirectional signal path endpoints shared between NO and NC. |
| 3, 6, 11, 14 | NC1–NC4 | Normally closed analog terminals; connected to COM when IN = logic low (MAX4553 uses NC2/NC3). |
| 5, 13 | V+, V− | Analog supply rails; set signal voltage limits (V− = GND for single-supply mode); power internal switch drivers. |
| 4 | GND | Digital ground reference; return path for logic circuitry and ESD SCR clamps. |
| 12 | N.C. | No internal connection; must be left unconnected per datasheet. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports input signals from V− to V+ (e.g., ±4.5V with ±5V supplies), enabling full dynamic range utilization in bipolar systems. |
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed 5–30ns isolation gap between NC and NO closure in MAX4553's dual-mode channels, preventing signal shorting during reconfiguration. |
| Low charge injection (≤5pC) | Minimizes voltage glitch on high-impedance nodes (e.g., ADC sample capacitors), preserving measurement integrity in precision DAQ systems. |
| Pin-compatible with DG211/DG212/DG213 | Enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs using industry-standard quad SPST switch footprints and logic mapping. |
| ±15kV ESD protection on NC/NO pins | Eliminates external protection components in field-deployable test equipment exposed to frequent human contact. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4552CPE | Four NO-only switches (vs. MAX4553CPE's 2NO+2NC configuration); identical RON, ESD, and supply specs. | Suitable only where all four paths require normally-open behavior-no NC functionality for fail-safe or default-closed paths. | Select MAX4552CPE when circuit design requires uniform NO behavior and eliminates need for NC logic inversion. |
| ADG1412BRZ | Quad SPST, 1.5Ω typical RON (lower than MAX4553CPE's 120Ω), but rated only to ±15kV HBM-not IEC 1000-4-2-and requires ≥±4.5V dual supplies. | Better for low-RON precision instrumentation; unsuitable for IEC-certified ESD environments or low-voltage (e.g., +3.3V) operation. | Choose ADG1412BRZ only if ultra-low on-resistance is critical and system-level ESD compliance is handled externally. |
Compared with MAX4552CPE and ADG1412BRZ, the MAX4553CPE uniquely combines mixed NO/NC topology, certified ±15kV IEC 1000-4-2 protection, and full +2.7V single-supply operation-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, field-serviceable test and audio gear requiring robustness and flexible switching logic.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage range supported by the MAX4553CPE?
The MAX4553CPE operates from a single supply of +2V to +12V or dual supplies of ±2V to ±6V. The absolute maximum V+ to V− differential is 13.0V; therefore, ±6V supplies must be tightly regulated to avoid exceeding this limit. At +2.7V single supply, the MAX4553CPE maintains full functionality including TTL-compatible logic thresholds and rail-to-rail analog signal handling.
Does the MAX4553CPE require external ESD protection components?
No-the MAX4553CPE integrates on-chip bidirectional SCRs on NC and NO pins, delivering ±15kV protection per IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge. This eliminates the need for external TVS diodes in most applications. However, 100nF bypass capacitors on V+ and V− pins are recommended to shunt residual ESD current and stabilize supplies during transient events.
How does the break-before-make timing work in the MAX4553CPE?
The MAX4553CPE implements break-before-make timing exclusively between its NC and NO terminals on the same channel (e.g., NC2/NO2), with a guaranteed 5–30ns delay at +25°C. This prevents momentary shorting when toggling between default-closed and default-open states-critical in audio crosspoints and safety-critical signal routing where unintended conduction must be avoided.
Can the MAX4553CPE be used with a +3.3V single supply?
Yes-the MAX4553CPE is fully specified for +2.7V to +3.6V single-supply operation. At +3.3V, it delivers 500Ω max on-resistance, 200–400pC charge injection, and logic thresholds of VIN_H = 2.0V and VIN_L = 1.1V, ensuring reliable interface with standard 3.3V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters.
What is the thermal performance of the MAX4553CPE in plastic DIP packaging?
In its 16-pin plastic DIP package, the MAX4553CPE has a thermal resistance θJA of 842mW at TA = +70°C, derating at 10.53mW/°C above that temperature. It operates across 0°C to +70°C (C-grade), with storage rated from −65°C to +160°C. The plastic DIP construction provides mechanical robustness for prototyping and low-volume industrial assembly.
