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 NO/NC pins, 120Ω max on-resistance at ±5V supplies, rail-to-rail analog signal handling, and break-before-make timing for safe channel switching in audio routing and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4553ESE datasheet, MAX4553ESE pinout, MAX4553ESE application, or MAX4553ESE equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, package-confirmed pin functions, real-world use cases in battery-powered test equipment and avionics signal paths, and validated alternative parts with documented functional and interface differences.
Technical Context
The MAX4553ESE integrates four independent CMOS SPST switches with dual internal SCR-based ESD protection on NO/NC 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 supports bidirectional rail-to-rail analog signals (V– to V+), with on-resistance flatness ≤8Ω over the full signal range and channel-to-channel on-resistance match ≤4Ω. The MAX4553ESE uniquely implements break-before-make timing (5–30ns typ.) between its paired NO/NC channels to prevent momentary shorting during state transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 120Ω max at ±5V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision analog paths |
| On-Resistance Flatness | 8Ω max over full signal range - maintains consistent gain and linearity across input voltage swing |
| Channel Match (∆RON) | 4Ω max - enables accurate differential or ratiometric measurements across switched channels |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV per IEC 1000-4-2 on NO/NC pins - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in handheld or field-deployed equipment |
| Supply Range | +2.7V to +12V single or ±2V to ±6V dual - supports operation from Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2V) up to industrial 12V rails |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA at +25°C, 10nA at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor front-ends and sample-hold circuits |
| Break-Before-Make Delay | 5–30ns (typ.) - prevents transient shorts when toggling between NC and NO paths in multiplexer configurations |
Pinout & Package
MAX4553ESE is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (SOIC-N) package, 3.9mm × 9.9mm body, 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, with exposed pad not connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8, 9, 16 | IN1–IN4 | Digital control inputs; TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (0.8V/2.4V) enable direct interfacing with microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| 2, 7, 10, 15 | COM1–COM4 | Common analog terminals; bidirectional signal path - may serve as input or output depending on system topology |
| 3, 6, 11, 14 | NC1, NC2, NC3, NC4 | Normally closed analog terminals; for MAX4553ESE, NC2 and NC3 are active (switch closed when IN = 0) |
| 5, 12 | NO1, NO4 | Normally open analog terminals; for MAX4553ESE, NO1 and NO4 are active (switch closed when IN = 1) |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply rail; connect to GND for single-supply operation; sets lower bound of analog signal range |
| 13 | V+ | Positive supply rail; powers analog switches and internal logic; internally tied to substrate |
| 5 | GND | Digital ground reference; required for logic-level translation and ESD SCR return path |
| 12 | N.C. | No internal connection - must be left floating or grounded per PCB layout best practices |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±15kV IEC 1000-4-2 ESD protection | On-chip bidirectional SCRs on NO/NC pins eliminate external protection components and reduce BOM cost in portable instrumentation |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports full V− to V+ swing (e.g., −5V to +5V or 0V to +5V) without clipping - critical for audio and sensor signal fidelity |
| Break-before-make timing (MAX4553 only) | Guaranteed 5–30ns delay prevents momentary short-circuit between NC and NO paths during switching transitions |
| Pin-compatible with DG211/DG212/DG213 | Enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs using industry-standard quad SPST switch footprints and routing |
| Low power consumption (<1µW) | Sub-microwatt quiescent current extends battery life in portable multimeters, handheld oscilloscopes, and wireless sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4552ESE | Four NO-only channels (vs. MAX4553ESE's 2NO/2NC); identical pinout, specs, and package | Suitable where all four paths require active-high switching without NC default state | Select MAX4552ESE when system logic requires uniform NO behavior; no PCB change needed |
| ADG1412BRUZ | Higher on-resistance (1.8Ω typ. at ±15V), wider supply range (±5V to ±16.5V), no integrated ESD SCRs | Requires external ESD protection; better suited for high-voltage industrial PLC I/O modules than portable gear | Choose ADG1412BRUZ for >±12V operation; MAX4553ESE preferred for ESD-critical, low-voltage, space-constrained designs |
Compared with MAX4552ESE, the MAX4553ESE provides mixed NO/NC functionality essential for fail-safe default routing, while ADG1412BRUZ trades ESD integration for higher voltage capability-making MAX4553ESE optimal for compact, battery-powered, ESD-exposed applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4553ESE?
The MAX4553ESE has an absolute maximum V+ to V− differential of 13.0V. When operated with bipolar supplies, the sum of |V+| + |V−| must not exceed 13.0V - for example, ±6V supplies (12V total) are acceptable, but ±6.6V would violate the rating. Exceeding this limit risks permanent damage, even momentarily.
Does MAX4553ESE support true rail-to-rail analog signals?
Yes, the MAX4553ESE supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+, including operation with V− = 0V (single supply). Signals exceeding these rails are clamped by internal diodes, but normal operation fully utilizes the entire supply range without distortion or cutoff.
How does the break-before-make feature work in MAX4553ESE?
The MAX4553ESE implements break-before-make timing exclusively between its paired NO and NC channels (e.g., NO1/NC1 and NO4/NC4), with a typical delay of 5–30ns. This ensures the NC path opens before the NO path closes, preventing momentary shorts in multiplexer or relay-replacement configurations.
Can MAX4553ESE be used with a +3.3V single supply?
Yes, the MAX4553ESE is fully specified for +2.7V to +3.6V single-supply operation. At +3.3V, it delivers 500Ω max on-resistance, 1.1V/0.5V logic thresholds, and 190–400ns switching times - making it suitable for modern low-voltage microcontroller interfaces and IoT sensor nodes.
Is MAX4553ESE pin-compatible with industry-standard alternatives?
Yes, the MAX4553ESE is pin-compatible with DG211, DG212, and DG213 quad SPST switches in SOIC-N packages. Pin assignments for IN, COM, NO, NC, V+, V−, GND, and N.C. match exactly - enabling drop-in replacement without PCB modification in legacy designs.
