Product details
Overview
MAX4553ESE+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad, low-voltage, SPST analog switch with two normally open (NO) and two normally closed (NC) 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 (5–20ns) for glitch-free switching in audio routing and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4553ESE+ datasheet, MAX4553ESE+ pinout, MAX4553ESE+ application, or MAX4553ESE+ equivalent, this device supports dual-supply (±2V to ±6V) or single-supply (+2.7V to +12V) operation, features TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds, and delivers low off-leakage (1nA @ +25°C), flat on-resistance (8Ω max), and matched channel RON (4Ω max) - critical for precision multiplexing and signal integrity in battery-powered test equipment.
Technical Context
The MAX4553ESE+ implements four independent CMOS SPST switches using complementary N- and P-channel MOSFETs per channel, driven by logic-level translators that convert TTL/CMOS inputs into full-rail V+ and V− gate drive signals. Its internal SCR-based ESD protection activates within nanoseconds when NC/NO pins exceed V+ or V−, shunting ±15kV transients to GND without latchup.
It supports break-before-make switching only on channels 1 & 4 (NO) and 2 & 3 (NC), ensuring no momentary short between signal paths during state transitions. Analog signal range spans (V−) to (V+), with leakage currents fully specified across −40°C to +85°C and validated under both dual- and single-supply conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 120Ω max at ±5V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation in 50Ω–600Ω systems |
| RON Flatness | 8Ω max over full signal range - maintains consistent gain/attenuation across rail-to-rail input voltages |
| RON Match Between Channels | 4Ω max - enables precise channel-to-channel tracking in differential or ratiometric applications |
| Off-Leakage Current (ICOM_OFF) | 10nA max at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends and sample-hold circuits |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV on NC/NO pins per IEC 1000-4-2 - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in industrial I/O modules |
| Logic Thresholds | VIN_H = 2.4V / VIN_L = 0.8V at +5V supply - guarantees robust noise margin with standard TTL/CMOS drivers |
| Break-Before-Make Delay | 5–20ns (typ. 10ns) - prevents signal shorting during channel switching in audio crosspoint matrices |
Pinout & Package
MAX4553ESE+ is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package (SOIC-N), 3.9mm width, 1.75mm height, with standard 1.27mm pitch. Pin 12 is No Connect (N.C.).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 (Pins 1, 16, 9, 8) | Digital control inputs | Accept TTL/CMOS logic; IN1/IN4 control NO1/NO4; IN2/IN3 control NC2/NC3 |
| COM1–COM4 (Pins 2, 15, 10, 7) | Analog common terminals | Signal path midpoint; bidirectional - may serve as input or output per channel |
| NO1, NO4 (Pins 11, 6) | Normally open analog terminals | Connect to COMx only when corresponding INx = logic high (active-high control) |
| NC2, NC3 (Pins 3, 14) | Normally closed analog terminals | Connected to COMx when corresponding INx = logic low; open when INx = high |
| V+ (Pin 13) | Positive supply | Powers analog switches and internal logic; internally tied to substrate |
| V− (Pin 4) | Negative supply | Required for dual-supply operation; connect to GND for single-supply mode |
| GND (Pin 5) | Digital ground reference | Return for logic circuitry and ESD SCR cathodes; not analog signal reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±15kV ESD protection on NC/NO pins | Enables direct connection to exposed connectors in avionics and portable test gear without external protection components |
| Break-before-make timing (5–20ns) | Prevents transient shorts in mixed-signal routing where NO and NC channels share common COM nodes |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal range | Supports full dynamic range of ±4.5V signals with ±5V supplies - ideal for op-amp interfacing and sensor conditioning |
| Low power consumption (<1µW) | Reduces quiescent current in always-on battery monitoring circuits and IoT edge nodes |
| Pin-compatible with DG211/DG212/DG213 | Allows drop-in replacement in legacy designs without PCB rework or layout changes |
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+ | Four NO-only channels; identical pinout, specs, and ESD rating | Lacks NC functionality - unsuitable where fail-safe closed-path behavior is required | Select when all four paths must be open-circuit by default (e.g., safety interlocks) |
| ADG1412BRUZ | Quad SPST, 1.5Ω RON, but only ±8kV ESD; requires ≥±4.5V dual supply | Higher performance in low-RON precision apps, but insufficient ESD margin for field-deployable equipment | Choose only in controlled lab environments where external ESD protection is added |
Compared with MAX4552ESE+, the MAX4553ESE+ provides hybrid NO/NC topology essential for redundant signal paths; versus ADG1412BRUZ, it trades lower RON for guaranteed ±15kV system-level ESD immunity - a decisive advantage in portable and aerospace applications.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX4553ESE+?
The MAX4553ESE+ is rated for −40°C to +85°C operation (industrial grade), with all electrical specifications - including on-resistance, leakage current, and switching times - fully guaranteed across this range. This makes the MAX4553ESE+ suitable for deployment in outdoor instrumentation, vehicle-mounted test gear, and industrial control cabinets without derating.
Does the MAX4553ESE+ support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX4553ESE+ operates from a single +2.7V to +12V supply when V− is connected to GND. At +2.7V, it maintains rail-to-rail analog signal handling (0V to +2.7V), 500Ω max RON, and valid TTL/CMOS logic thresholds (VIN_H = 1.1V min). This enables use in ultra-low-power IoT sensor nodes and energy-harvesting systems.
How does the break-before-make function work in the MAX4553ESE+?
The MAX4553ESE+ implements break-before-make only between its paired NO and NC channels: when IN1 toggles, NO1 disconnects before NC1 connects (and vice versa for IN2/IN3). Measured at 5–20ns delay, this prevents momentary shorts in configurations like relay replacements or fault-tolerant signal routing - a feature absent in MAX4551/MAX4552 variants.
Can the MAX4553ESE+ be used with bipolar supplies exceeding ±5V?
The MAX4553ESE+ supports dual supplies from ±2V to ±6V, but the absolute maximum V+ to V− differential is 13.0V. At nominal ±6V (12V total), 10% tolerance yields 13.2V - exceeding rating. Therefore, use ±5.5V max or implement supply clamping. The MAX4553ESE+ datasheet explicitly warns against sustained >13.0V differentials to prevent permanent damage.
Is the MAX4553ESE+ pin-compatible with industry-standard alternatives?
Yes, the MAX4553ESE+ is pin-compatible with the DG211, DG212, and DG213 analog switches - sharing identical 16-pin SO footprint, pin functions, and logic polarity. This allows direct substitution in legacy designs without layout modification, while adding ±15kV ESD protection and improved RON matching not present in those older devices.
