Product details
Overview
MAX4560EEE from Analog Devices is a triple SPDT analog switch IC designed for low-voltage signal routing in precision analog systems. It supports ±2V to ±6V dual supplies or +2V to +12V single supply, delivers 160Ω on-resistance (±5V), 1nA off-leakage at +25°C, and ±15kV HBM ESD protection on all X/Y/Z and X_/Y_/Z_ pins. It is used in battery-powered audio/video routing where rail-to-rail signal integrity and high ESD immunity are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4560EEE datasheet, MAX4560EEE pinout, MAX4560EEE application, or MAX4560EEE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON match (2Ω typ), low charge injection (1pC typ), <–96dB off-isolation at 100kHz, and compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic under +5V or ±5V operation.
Technical Context
The MAX4560EEE integrates three independent SPDT switches, each with bidirectional SCR-based ESD protection on both input and output terminals (X/Y/Z and X_/Y_/Z_), enabling robust operation in high-ESD environments without latchup. Its CMOS architecture supports rail-to-rail analog signal switching across the full supply range.
Switch control uses three digital address inputs (A, B, C) and an active-low ENABLE pin, with TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (0.8V low / 2.4V high at +5V). Break-before-make timing is guaranteed ≤10ns, minimizing transient shorts during channel transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | Dual ±2V to ±6V or single +2V to +12V - enables flexible power architecture in portable and industrial systems |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 160Ω max at ±5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor or audio paths |
| RON Match | 2Ω typical - maintains channel-to-channel signal consistency in multi-path calibration or differential routing |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA at +25°C - preserves DC accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends and data-acquisition sample-hold circuits |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV HBM, ±12kV IEC air-gap, ±8kV IEC contact - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in handheld or field-deployed equipment |
| Off-Isolation | –96dB at 100kHz (50Ω) - suppresses crosstalk between adjacent switched channels in multi-signal routing applications |
| Charge Injection | 1pC typical - minimizes voltage glitch on sampled nodes, critical for low-error ADC input multiplexing |
Pinout & Package
MAX4560EEE is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package (5.3mm × 10.2mm, 0.65mm pitch), rated for –40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Z1 | Normally open input for Z-switch - connects to Z output when selected; supports bidirectional signal flow |
| 2 | Y0 | Normally closed input for Y-switch - default path for Y output; complements Y1 in SPDT configuration |
| 3 | Z0 | Normally closed input for Z-switch - provides fail-safe path when Z1 is unselected |
| 4 | Z | Z-switch common terminal - bidirectional analog I/O node routed to Z0 or Z1 based on address inputs |
| 5 | Y1 | Normally open input for Y-switch - activated under specific A/B/C combination; matches Z1 function for Y channel |
| 6 | ENABLE | Active-low global enable - pulls all switches open when high; required for power-gating and system-level standby |
| 7 | VEE | Negative analog supply - sets lower rail for analog signal range; tied to GND for single-supply operation |
| 8 | GND | Analog/digital reference ground - shared return for supplies, logic, and ESD SCR clamps |
| 9 | C | MSB address input - selects among four states per switch (00–11); determines Z0/Z1, Y0/Y1, X0/X1 pairing |
| 10 | B | Middle address bit - works with A and C to fully decode three SPDT switch states per channel |
| 11 | A | LSB address input - completes 3-bit decoding (CBA) for precise channel selection across all three switches |
| 12 | X0 | Normally closed input for X-switch - default connection for X output; electrically identical to Y0 and Z0 |
| 13 | X1 | Normally open input for X-switch - activated when CBA = 1xx; forms complementary pair with X0 |
| 14 | X | X-switch common terminal - bidirectional analog node switched between X0 and X1 |
| 15 | Y | Y-switch common terminal - routes signals between Y0 and Y1; shares same pinout symmetry as X and Z |
| 16 | VCC | Positive analog and digital supply - powers internal CMOS switches and logic translators; defines upper analog rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple SPDT architecture | Three independent, bidirectional analog switches in one 16-pin QSOP - reduces board space and interconnect complexity vs. discrete solutions |
| ±15kV HBM ESD protection | On-chip SCRs on all six analog terminals (X/Y/Z and X_/Y_/Z_) - eliminates external protection components and improves reliability in handling-sensitive applications |
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals from VEE to VCC - preserves full dynamic range in low-voltage systems (e.g., +3.3V or ±2.5V rails) |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | 0.8V/2.4V thresholds at +5V supply - ensures direct interfacing with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting |
| Low distortion & crosstalk | <0.02% THD (600Ω), <–93dB crosstalk - maintains fidelity in audio routing and precision instrumentation signal chains |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4560ESE | Same electrical specs and pinout; Narrow SO package (3.9mm × 9.9mm) instead of QSOP | Preferred for legacy SO footprints or higher thermal mass requirements | Select when board layout uses standard SO-16 land pattern and thermal dissipation >696mW is needed |
| ADG1434BRUZ | Quad SPDT, 4.7Ω RON, ±15V supply, no integrated ESD protection - requires external TVS | Better for high-voltage industrial signal chains where ±15V rails are standard | Choose only if system already includes robust board-level ESD protection and lower RON is prioritized over integration |
Compared with MAX4560ESE and ADG1434BRUZ, the MAX4560EEE offers identical switching performance in a smaller QSOP footprint and built-in ±15kV ESD protection - reducing BOM count and improving reliability in space-constrained, user-accessible designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4560EEE?
The MAX4560EEE supports dual supplies from ±2V to ±6V or a single supply from +2V to +12V. Absolute maximum ratings specify VCC up to +13V and VEE down to –0.3V relative to GND. Operation beyond ±6V dual or +12V single supply is not guaranteed and may damage the device. Always observe the specified operating ranges in the Electrical Characteristics tables for reliable performance.
Does MAX4560EEE support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, the MAX4560EEE supports rail-to-rail analog signal switching - meaning analog signals can swing from VEE to VCC without clipping or degradation. This is confirmed in the datasheet's "Analog Signal Range" specification (VX_, VY_, VZ_, VX, VY, VZ = V– to V+), and applies across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and supply configurations.
How does the ESD protection in MAX4560EEE work, and what standards does it meet?
The MAX4560EEE uses on-chip bidirectional silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) connected between X/Y/Z and X_/Y_/Z_ pins and GND. During an ESD event, these SCRs trigger within nanoseconds to shunt surge current safely to ground. It meets ±15kV per Human Body Model (HBM), ±12kV per IEC 1000-4-2 air-gap, and ±8kV per IEC 1000-4-2 contact discharge standards - verified per the manufacturer's reliability testing.
Can MAX4560EEE be used with a single +3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX4560EEE operates with a single +3.3V supply. At VCC = +3.3V, typical on-resistance is 220Ω–400Ω, input logic thresholds are 0.5V (low) and 1.5V (high), and turn-on time is 180–350ns. All specifications for +3V operation are documented in the "Electrical Characteristics-Single +3V Supply" section of the datasheet, confirming full functionality across the commercial and extended temperature ranges.
What is the function of the ENABLE pin on MAX4560EEE?
ENABLE is an active-low digital control input (Pin 6). When pulled low (≤0.8V), the device enables all three SPDT switches for normal address-driven operation. When driven high (≥2.4V), it forces all switches into the open (off) state regardless of A/B/C address inputs - providing hardware-level signal isolation and power-saving shutdown capability.
