Product details
Overview
MAX4561EUT+T from Maxim Integrated is a ±15kV ESD-protected, single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) CMOS analog switch operating from +1.8V to +12V. It features 70Ω on-resistance at +5V, 2Ω max on-resistance match between channels, 5ns guaranteed break-before-make timing, and rail-to-rail signal handling-designed for precision signal routing in battery-powered audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4561EUT+T datasheet, MAX4561EUT+T pinout, MAX4561EUT+T application, or MAX4561EUT+T equivalent, key selection criteria include ESD robustness (±15kV HBM/IEC air-gap), low leakage (0.5nA off-leakage at +25°C), tight on-resistance matching, and SOT23-6 package compatibility with legacy MAX4544 designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4561EUT+T implements a CMOS transmission-gate SPDT architecture with integrated bidirectional SCRs on NO and NC terminals for ±15kV IEC 1000-4-2 ESD protection. Its break-before-make switching ensures no signal shorting during state transitions, critical for multiplexed sensor or audio paths.
It supports rail-to-rail analog signals across its full supply range (+1.8V to +12V), with on-resistance flatness of ≤4Ω over the signal range and logic thresholds (VIH = +2.4V, VIL = +0.8V) ensuring TTL/CMOS compatibility at +5V. The device uses Beyond-the-Rails™ protection without external components.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4544EUT+T | Same SOT23-6 pinout, identical RON (70Ω), but rated only to +70°C ambient and lacks ±15kV IEC air-gap ESD rating | Suitable for commercial-grade, non-field-deployed equipment where ESD exposure is controlled | Select MAX4544EUT+T only if temperature range and ESD requirements are relaxed; not drop-in for industrial use. |
| TMUX1574DSGR | Lower RON (0.5Ω typical), wider supply (1.08V–5.5V), but only ±4kV HBM ESD; different pinout (8-pin VSSOP) | Better for ultra-low-loss, high-speed data paths but requires PCB redesign and external ESD protection | Choose TMUX1574DSGR only when sub-1Ω RON is mandatory and layout changes are acceptable. |
Compared with MAX4544EUT+T and TMUX1574DSGR, the MAX4561EUT+T uniquely delivers industrial-grade ±15kV ESD robustness in a compact SOT23-6 package while maintaining tight on-resistance matching and guaranteed break-before-make-making it optimal for field-deployed, battery-operated analog routing where reliability and board space are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4561EUT+T?
The MAX4561EUT+T has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+) of +13V referenced to GND. Its operational range is +1.8V to +12V. Exceeding +13V risks permanent damage. For +12V operation, a minimum 0.1µF bypass capacitor must be placed directly between V+ and GND near the device to ensure ESD stability and supply integrity.
Does MAX4561EUT+T support rail-to-rail analog signals?
Yes, the MAX4561EUT+T fully supports rail-to-rail analog signal handling-from GND to V+-across its entire supply range (+1.8V to +12V). This capability eliminates the need for external level shifters in low-voltage systems and ensures accurate signal passage without clipping, as confirmed in the device's functional diagrams and electrical characteristics tables.
Is MAX4561EUT+T pin-compatible with any other Maxim analog switches?
Yes, the MAX4561EUT+T features industry-standard pinout and is explicitly pin-compatible with the MAX4544EUT+T in the same 6-pin SOT23 package. This allows direct mechanical replacement in existing layouts, though designers must verify that the MAX4544's lower ESD rating (no ±15kV IEC air-gap) and narrower temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) meet system requirements.
What is the guaranteed break-before-make time for MAX4561EUT+T?
The MAX4561EUT+T guarantees a minimum break-before-make delay of 5ns under specified test conditions (VNO/VNC = 3V, RL = 300Ω, CL = 35pF). This parameter is unique to the MAX4561 among the MAX456x family and is documented in both the Features section and Electrical Characteristics table for +5V supply operation.
How does the ESD protection architecture of MAX4561EUT+T work on NO and NC pins?
The MAX4561EUT+T integrates bidirectional silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) between NO/NC pins and GND to provide ±15kV IEC 1000-4-2 air-gap ESD protection. During an ESD event, the SCR triggers in nanoseconds, clamping the voltage and diverting current safely to ground. System design must current-limit external sources to ≤35mA (half the +85°C SCR holding current of 70mA) to ensure automatic turn-off post-event.
