Product details
Overview
MAX4560EPE from Analog Devices is a triple SPDT analog switch IC designed for high-ESD environments, featuring ±15kV HBM ESD protection on all X/Y/Z and X_/Y_/Z_ pins, 160Ω typical on-resistance at ±5V supply, rail-to-rail signal handling, and 1nA off-leakage at +25°C - used in audio/video routing and low-voltage data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4560EPE datasheet, MAX4560EPE pinout, MAX4560EPE application, or MAX4560EPE equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, functional pin mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts for industrial signal-switching designs requiring robust ESD immunity and low distortion.
Technical Context
The MAX4560EPE implements three independent SPDT switches with break-before-make timing (4–15ns), each controlled by a 3-bit address (A/B/C) and global ENABLE input. Its internal bidirectional SCRs provide fast ESD clamping to GND without latchup, with holding currents of 110mA (IH+) and 95mA (IH−) at +25°C.
It operates across dual supplies (±2V to ±6V) or single +2V to +12V, supports TTL/CMOS logic thresholds (+0.8V to +2.4V), and maintains <0.02% THD into 600Ω while delivering <−96dB off-isolation and <−93dB crosstalk at 100kHz in 50Ω systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | Triple SPDT - enables independent selection between two analog paths per channel (X/Y/Z) |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 160Ω typ at ±5V - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation in precision analog paths |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor or battery-monitoring circuits |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV HBM, ±12kV IEC air-gap, ±8kV IEC contact - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in portable equipment |
| Signal Range | Rail-to-rail - supports full-swing analog signals from VEE to VCC without clipping |
| THD & Distortion | <0.02% at 20Hz–20kHz into 600Ω - critical for high-fidelity audio switching applications |

Pinout & Package
MAX4560EPE uses a 16-pin plastic DIP package (0.3-inch width) with through-hole mounting, rated for −40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 8 | GND | System ground reference for logic and analog sections |
| 9 | C | MSB address bit for channel selection - determines which SPDT pair is activated |
| 10 | B | Middle address bit - combined with A and C to select one of eight switch states per channel |
| 11 | A | LSB address bit - completes 3-bit decoding for triple SPDT control |
| 12 | X0 (Normally Closed) | Analog input path for X-channel default state; connects to X output unless overridden |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4560EEE | Same triple SPDT function and pinout, but in 16-pin QSOP package with identical electrical specs and −40°C to +85°C rating | Suitable for space-constrained PCBs requiring surface-mount assembly instead of through-hole DIP | Select MAX4560EEE when board area or automated assembly drives package choice over mechanical mounting preference |
| ADG1434BRUZ | Quad SPDT, 4.5Ω RON, ±15V supply range, no integrated ESD protection - requires external ±15kV-rated TVS diodes | Better for high-voltage industrial control; less suitable for portable or cost-sensitive ESD-prone environments | Choose ADG1434BRUZ only if lower on-resistance and wider supply range outweigh added BOM cost and layout complexity of external ESD protection |
Compared with MAX4560EEE and ADG1434BRUZ, the MAX4560EPE uniquely combines through-hole DIP packaging, integrated ±15kV ESD protection, and 1nA leakage in a triple SPDT configuration - making it optimal for legacy-compatible, field-serviceable, and ESD-sensitive instrumentation designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage range supported by the MAX4560EPE?
The MAX4560EPE operates from dual supplies of ±2V to ±6V or a single supply of +2V to +12V. Absolute maximum ratings specify VCC up to +13V and VEE down to −0.3V relative to GND. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage due to internal diode conduction or latchup.
Does the MAX4560EPE require external ESD protection components?
No, the MAX4560EPE does not require external ESD protection components. It integrates on-chip bidirectional SCRs on all X/Y/Z and X_/Y_/Z_ pins, certified for ±15kV HBM, ±12kV IEC air-gap, and ±8kV IEC contact discharge - meeting stringent requirements for handheld and field-deployable equipment.
How does the ENABLE pin function on the MAX4560EPE?
The ENABLE pin on the MAX4560EPE is an active-low digital input. When pulled low (≤0.8V), all three SPDT switches become operational and respond to address inputs A/B/C. When driven high (≥2.4V), all switches open regardless of address state - providing hardware-level channel disable capability for system safety or power sequencing.
What is the typical on-resistance matching between channels in the MAX4560EPE?
The MAX4560EPE guarantees on-resistance matching (ΔRON) of ≤2Ω typical between its three SPDT channels under ±5V supply conditions. This tight matching ensures uniform gain, phase, and settling behavior across X/Y/Z paths - essential for differential signal routing and calibrated measurement systems.
Can the MAX4560EPE be used with a single +3V supply?
Yes, the MAX4560EPE supports single +3V operation. At VCC = +2.7V to +3.6V, it delivers 220Ω to 450Ω on-resistance, maintains TTL-compatible logic thresholds (VIH = 1.5V, VIL = 0.5V), and achieves 180ns turn-on time - making it suitable for ultra-low-power portable instrumentation where supply headroom is constrained.
