Product details
Overview
MAX4560CPE from Analog Devices is a triple SPDT analog switch IC designed for bidirectional signal routing in low-voltage systems. It operates from ±2V to ±6V dual supplies or +2V to +12V single supply, delivers rail-to-rail analog switching, features ±15kV HBM ESD protection on all X/Y/Z and X_/Y_/Z_ pins, and exhibits 160Ω typical on-resistance with ±5V supplies - enabling precision audio/video routing in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4560CPE datasheet, MAX4560CPE pinout, MAX4560CPE application, or MAX4560CPE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON match (2Ω typ), sub-1nA off-leakage at +25°C, <−96dB off-isolation at 100kHz, and compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic under +5V or ±5V supply conditions.
Technical Context
The MAX4560CPE implements three independent SPDT switches using CMOS transmission-gate architecture with integrated bidirectional SCR-based ESD protection on all analog I/O pins (X/Y/Z and X_/Y_/Z_). Each switch supports break-before-make operation with 4–15ns delay and handles rail-to-rail analog signals without distortion.
Its digital control interface accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds (+0.8V low, +2.4V high) across full supply range, while internal level translators drive analog switch gates directly from VCC/VEE - eliminating coupling between logic and analog domains except through controlled gate drive paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | Triple SPDT - enables independent selection of normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO) path per channel |
| On-Resistance (±5V) | 160Ω max - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision analog paths |
| RON Match | 2Ω typ - maintains consistent gain/attenuation across channels in multi-path signal conditioning |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C - preserves DC accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and data acquisition |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV HBM, ±12kV IEC air-gap, ±8kV IEC contact - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in portable equipment |
| Off-Isolation | <−96dB at 100kHz (50Ω) - prevents crosstalk between inactive channels in dense routing applications |
| Supply Range | Dual ±2V to ±6V or single +2V to +12V - supports wide input voltage flexibility in mixed-supply systems |
Pinout & Package
MAX4560CPE uses a 16-pin plastic DIP package (0.300" width) with through-hole mounting and industry-standard pin spacing. Pin 1 is top-left corner when notch faces up.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Z1 (NO) | Z-channel normally open analog terminal - connects to load when Z select is active |
| 2 | Y0 (NC) | Y-channel normally closed analog terminal - default path unless Y select is asserted |
| 3 | Z0 (NC) | Z-channel normally closed analog terminal - provides fail-safe continuity in unpowered state |
| 4 | Y1 (NO) | Y-channel normally open analog terminal - enables alternate routing path for Y channel |
| 5 | X0 (NC) | X-channel normally closed analog terminal - primary analog path for X switch |
| 6 | ENABLE | Digital enable input - tie to GND to activate all switches; drive high to disable all channels |
| 7 | VEE | Negative analog supply - connect to GND for single-supply operation; sets lower rail for analog signal range |
| 8 | GND | System ground reference - serves as return path for analog and digital currents |
| 9 | C | Address bit C - selects between Z0/Z1 and Y0/Y1 pairs in conjunction with A/B inputs |
| 10 | B | Address bit B - determines which SPDT pair (X/Y/Z) is selected via truth table decoding |
| 11 | A | Address bit A - completes 3-bit address decoding to configure individual switch states |
| 12 | X1 (NO) | X-channel normally open analog terminal - alternate path for X switch, activated by address inputs |
| 13 | Y (Y-com) | Y-channel common terminal - bidirectional node connecting to system signal path |
| 14 | X (X-com) | X-channel common terminal - central analog I/O point for X SPDT switch |
| 15 | Z (Z-com) | Z-channel common terminal - shared connection point for Z SPDT configuration |
| 16 | VCC | Positive analog/digital supply - powers internal logic, level translators, and switch driver circuitry |

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4560CPE?
The MAX4560CPE supports dual supplies from ±2V to ±6V or a single supply from +2V to +12V. Absolute maximum ratings specify VCC and VEE up to ±6.3V or +12.6V respectively. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage due to internal ESD diode conduction or oxide breakdown. Operation within the guaranteed range ensures specified RON, leakage, and switching performance across temperature.
Does MAX4560CPE require external ESD protection components?
No, the MAX4560CPE does not require external ESD protection components. It integrates bidirectional silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) on all X/Y/Z and X_/Y_/Z_ pins, certified to ±15kV HBM, ±12kV IEC air-gap, and ±8kV IEC contact discharge. These on-chip SCRs safely shunt ESD current to ground within nanoseconds, eliminating the need for discrete TVS diodes in most end-equipment designs.
How does the ENABLE pin function on MAX4560CPE?
The ENABLE pin (Pin 6) controls global switch activation: tying it to GND enables all three SPDT switches, while driving it high disables all channels simultaneously. When disabled, all analog paths are open-circuited with >−96dB off-isolation. This feature allows system-level power gating and fault isolation without altering address lines - simplifying firmware control in multi-channel routing applications.
What is the typical on-resistance matching between channels of MAX4560CPE?
The MAX4560CPE guarantees on-resistance matching (ΔRON) of 2Ω typical and 6Ω maximum at +25°C with ±5V supplies. This tight matching ensures consistent signal attenuation and gain across all three SPDT channels, which is essential for applications like programmable gain amplifiers, calibrated sensor multiplexing, and balanced audio switching where channel-to-channel amplitude uniformity is required.
Can MAX4560CPE operate from a single 3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX4560CPE operates from a single +2V to +12V supply, including +3.3V. At +3.3V, typical on-resistance is 400Ω (max 450Ω), logic thresholds shift to +0.5V (low) and +1.5V (high), and turn-on time increases to 180–350ns. All specifications remain valid across the full temperature range (0°C to +70°C), making it suitable for modern low-voltage embedded systems without performance compromise.
