Product details
Overview
MAX4560ESE from Analog Devices is a triple SPDT analog switch IC designed for high-ESD-sensitivity signal routing in low-voltage systems. It features ±15kV HBM ESD protection on all X/Y/Z and X_/Y_/Z_ pins, 160Ω typical on-resistance at ±5V supply, <2Ω RON match between channels, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling from ±2V to ±6V dual supplies or +2V to +12V single supply. It is used in audio/video multiplexing and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4560ESE datasheet, MAX4560ESE pinout, MAX4560ESE application, or MAX4560ESE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed ESD robustness (±15kV HBM), channel-to-channel RON matching ≤6Ω, off-leakage ≤1nA at +25°C, break-before-make timing ≤15ns, and compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic at +5V or ±5V supplies.
Technical Context
The MAX4560ESE 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 operates with true rail-to-rail analog voltage range and supports both single-supply (+2V to +12V) and dual-supply (±2V to ±6V) configurations.
Its digital control interface uses three address lines (A/B/C) and an active-low ENABLE pin to select one of eight possible switch states per section, with guaranteed TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (0.8V low / 2.4V high) and sub-1µA input current. Switch dynamics include 90–175ns turn-on time and <15ns break-before-make delay under standard 300Ω/35pF load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | Triple SPDT - enables independent selection of normally closed (X₀/Y₀/Z₀) or normally open (X₁/Y₁/Z₁) paths per channel |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 160Ω typ at ±5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and thermal drift in precision analog paths |
| RON Match Between Channels | 2Ω typ (≤6Ω max) - critical for matched gain/phase in differential or multi-channel signal conditioning |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and sample-hold circuits |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV HBM, ±12kV IEC air-gap, ±8kV IEC contact - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in portable equipment |
| Supply Range | Dual ±2V to ±6V or single +2V to +12V - supports operation from Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2V) up to industrial rails |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS thresholds (0.8V/2.4V) at +5V or ±5V - interoperable with microcontrollers, FPGAs, and legacy logic without level shifters |
Pinout & Package
MAX4560ESE is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO package (SOIC-16, 150 mil width), RoHS-compliant, with standard JEDEC MO-153 footprint. Pin pitch is 1.27mm; body dimensions are 10.3mm × 5.3mm × 1.75mm.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Z₁ | Normally open analog input for Z-switch section - connects to Z output when selected |
| 2 | Y₀ | Normally closed analog input for Y-switch section - connects to Y output when unselected |
| 3 | Z₀ | Normally closed analog input for Z-switch section - default path to Z output |
| 4 | Z | Analog common terminal for Z-switch - bidirectional signal path shared by Z₀/Z₁ |
| 5 | Y₁ | Normally open analog input for Y-switch section - connects to Y output when selected |
| 6 | ENABLE | Active-low global enable - drives all switches OFF when high; must be tied to GND for normal operation |
| 7 | VEE | Negative analog supply - set to GND for single-supply use; defines lower rail for rail-to-rail analog swing |
| 8 | GND | Logic and analog reference ground - separate return path required for low-noise layout |
| 9 | C | MSB address input - selects Z-switch state (Z₀ or Z₁) along with A/B inputs |
| 10 | B | Middle address bit - jointly determines Y-switch and Z-switch configuration with A and C |
| 11 | A | LSB address input - controls X-switch selection and contributes to Y/Z switching logic |
| 12 | X₀ | Normally closed analog input for X-switch section - default path to X output |
| 13 | X₁ | Normally open analog input for X-switch section - connects to X output when selected |
| 14 | X | Analog common terminal for X-switch - bidirectional path shared by X₀/X₁ |
| 15 | Y | Analog common terminal for Y-switch - bidirectional path shared by Y₀/Y₁ |
| 16 | VCC | Positive analog/digital supply - powers internal logic, gate drivers, and ESD protection circuitry |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog SPDT switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1414BRUZ | Single 4-channel SPDT, 1.5Ω RON, ±15V supply, no integrated ESD protection | Requires external ±15kV ESD protection; higher precision but larger footprint and higher cost | Choose ADG1414BRUZ only if sub-2Ω RON matching and ±15V operation outweigh ESD design overhead. |

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage range supported by the MAX4560ESE?
The MAX4560ESE operates from dual supplies of ±2V to ±6V or a single supply of +2V to +12V. Absolute maximum ratings specify VCC and VEE up to ±6.3V or +13V referenced to VEE. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage. The device maintains rail-to-rail analog signal handling across this full range, making it suitable for battery-powered and wide-input industrial systems.
Does the MAX4560ESE require external ESD protection components?
No, the MAX4560ESE 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 per Human Body Model (HBM), ±12kV per IEC 1000-4-2 air-gap, and ±8kV per IEC 1000-4-2 contact discharge. This on-chip protection eliminates TVS diodes and reduces board area and BOM cost.
How does the ENABLE pin function on the MAX4560ESE?
The ENABLE pin on the MAX4560ESE is active-low. When pulled low (≤0.8V), the device enables all three SPDT switches according to the A/B/C address inputs. When driven high (≥2.4V), all switches disconnect regardless of address state. For continuous operation, ENABLE must be tied to GND; floating or high-impedance states cause undefined behavior and potential leakage.
What is the typical on-resistance matching between channels in the MAX4560ESE?
The MAX4560ESE guarantees on-resistance matching (ΔRON) of ≤6Ω maximum at +25°C and ±5V supply, with a typical value of 2Ω. This tight matching ensures consistent gain, phase, and settling behavior across all three SPDT sections-critical for differential signal routing, multi-channel data acquisition, and balanced audio paths where channel imbalance degrades performance.
Can the MAX4560ESE operate from a single 3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX4560ESE supports single-supply operation down to +2.7V. At +3.3V, its on-resistance is typically 220Ω (max 450Ω), input logic thresholds are 0.5V (low) and 1.5V (high), and turn-on time is 180–400ns. All electrical characteristics-including leakage, crosstalk, and THD-are specified and guaranteed across the +2.7V to +3.6V range, enabling direct interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers and low-power sensors.
