Product details
Overview
The MAX4593CPE from Maxim Integrated is a high-speed, precision quad SPST analog switch with two normally open (NO) and two normally closed (NC) channels, designed for +12V or +15V single-supply operation. It delivers 16Ω max on-resistance, ≤50ns turn-on time, ≤30ns turn-off time, 5pC max charge injection, and 100pA max leakage - enabling precise signal routing in test equipment and audio/video switching systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4593CPE datasheet, MAX4593CPE pinout, MAX4593CPE application, or MAX4593CPE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON matching (≤1Ω), RON flatness (≤1.75Ω), break-before-make timing (5–20ns), ESD robustness (>2000V), and pin compatibility with DG611/DG612/DG613 and DG211/DG212/DG213 families.
Technical Context
The MAX4593CPE integrates four independent CMOS SPST switches in a single 16-pin DIP package, with dual logic polarity: IN1/IN4 control NC1/NC4 (active-low), while IN2/IN3 control NO2/NO3 (active-high). Its internal architecture ensures simultaneous channel switching without latch-up under specified voltage ranges.
It operates across 0°C to +70°C with guaranteed performance at both +12V and +15V supplies, supporting analog signal ranges from V− (GND) to V+, and features internal diode clamping on all analog terminals to limit overvoltage stress. Charge injection and leakage are tightly controlled to preserve signal integrity in sample-and-hold and precision instrumentation circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 16Ω max at +15V supply - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision analog paths. |
| RON Match Between Channels | 1Ω max - enables accurate channel-to-channel signal balancing in multiplexed measurement systems. |
| Turn-On / Turn-Off Time | 50ns / 30ns typical - supports high-speed data acquisition and real-time switching up to ~10MHz bandwidth. |
| Charge Injection | 5pC max - limits voltage glitch on sampled nodes, critical for low-error sample-and-hold and ADC front-ends. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 0.1nA max at +25°C - preserves DC accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and long-integration circuits. |
| ESD Rating | >2000V per Method 3015.7 - provides robust handling tolerance during assembly and field service. |
| Analog Signal Range | 0V to V+ (up to +15V) - allows rail-to-rail analog signal switching without external level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4593CPE uses a 16-pin plastic DIP (dual in-line package) with 0.3-inch body width and standard through-hole mounting. Pin spacing is 0.1 inch, compatible with industry-standard PCB footprints and socketing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1, IN2, IN3, IN4 (Pins 1, 8, 9, 16) | Digital control inputs | IN1/IN4 drive NC1/NC4 (logic "0" = ON); IN2/IN3 drive NO2/NO3 (logic "1" = ON); TTL/CMOS compatible. |
| COM1–COM4 (Pins 2, 7, 10, 15) | Analog common terminals | Each connects to respective NO/NC pair; carries full analog signal current (±30mA continuous). |
| NO1–NO4 (Pins 3, 14, 11, 6) | Normally open switch outputs | NO2 and NO3 are active in MAX4593; NO1/NO4 are N.C. - unused and must be left unconnected. |
| NC1–NC4 (Pins 3, 14, 11, 6) | Normally closed switch outputs | NC1 and NC4 are active in MAX4593; NC2/NC3 are N.C. - unused and must be left unconnected. |
| V+ (Pin 13) | Positive supply input | Accepts +12V or +15V; powers internal logic and analog switches; substrate connection point. |
| V− (Pin 4) | Negative supply input | Typically tied to GND; defines lower analog rail; internal clamping diodes reference this node. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Ground reference | Logic ground and return path for supply currents; separate from analog signal ground in mixed-signal layouts. |
| N.C. (Pin 12) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no external tie or pull-up/down required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two NO + two NC configuration | Enables flexible signal path selection (e.g., bypass + select) in single-package designs without external logic. |
| Guaranteed RON flatness ≤1.75Ω | Maintains consistent gain and linearity across full analog input range (0V to V+), critical for precision instrumentation. |
| Break-before-make timing (5–20ns) | Prevents momentary shorting between channels during state transitions - essential for fault-tolerant multiplexing. |
| 5pC max charge injection | Minimizes sampling errors in high-resolution data converters and low-leakage integrator circuits. |
| Pin-compatible with DG61x/DG21x families | Allows drop-in replacement in legacy designs using Vishay Siliconix analog switches without layout changes. |
Applications
| Test Equipment | Sample-and-Hold Circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4592CPE | Four NO-only configuration; identical RON, speed, and leakage specs; same pinout. | Suitable only where all four channels require normally-open behavior - no NC functionality. | Select when system logic requires uniform active-high control across all switches without NC states. |
| DG612DN | 16-pin SOIC package; 20Ω RON max; 75ns tON; no guaranteed RON match or flatness spec. | Lacks guaranteed matching/flatness; higher charge injection (10pC); not rated for +15V operation. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-precision applications where layout space favors SOIC and 12V-only operation suffices. |
Compared with MAX4592CPE, the MAX4593CPE adds NC functionality for fail-safe or default-path routing; compared with DG612DN, it delivers tighter parametric guarantees, faster switching, and broader supply support - making it preferred for test, medical, and industrial signal conditioning.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the MAX4593CPE?
The MAX4593CPE has an absolute maximum V+ rating of +17V, but it is fully specified for reliable operation at +12V or +15V single-supply conditions. Operation above +15V is not characterized and may compromise RON, leakage, or timing performance. The MAX4593CPE must never be operated with V+ − V− exceeding 17V, and V− is typically grounded.
Does the MAX4593CPE support dual-supply operation?
No, the MAX4593CPE is designed exclusively for single-supply operation with V− tied to GND. For dual-supply or low-voltage applications (e.g., ±5V or 3.3V), Maxim specifies the MAX391 series instead. The MAX4593CPE's internal architecture, leakage specs, and timing characteristics are validated only for +12V or +15V with V− = 0V.
How does the MAX4593CPE handle overvoltage on analog terminals?
The MAX4593CPE includes internal diode clamps from each COM, NO, and NC terminal to V+ and V−. These diodes limit analog signal excursions beyond the supply rails, protecting the switch core. However, forward current must be externally limited to ≤30mA per terminal to prevent damage - typically achieved with series resistors in the signal path.
Is the MAX4593CPE pin-compatible with the DG212?
Yes, the MAX4593CPE is explicitly documented as pin-compatible with the DG211/DG212/DG213 family. Pin assignments for IN, COM, NO/NC, V+, V−, and GND match exactly. However, note that DG212 implements four NO switches, whereas the MAX4593CPE configures two NO and two NC - functional behavior differs despite mechanical compatibility.
What is the guaranteed RON flatness specification for the MAX4593CPE at +12V?
At +12V supply, the MAX4593CPE guarantees RON flatness of ≤1.75Ω over the full analog signal range (V− to V+), measured as the difference between maximum and minimum on-resistance values at VCOM = 3V, 6V, and 9V. This spec ensures consistent gain and linearity in precision amplifier and filter interface applications.
