Product details
Overview
MAX4593CSE 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 1.75Ω max RON flatness - enabling precise signal routing in test equipment and audio/video switching systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4593CSE datasheet, MAX4593CSE pinout, MAX4593CSE application, or MAX4593CSE equivalent, this device supports critical design tasks including low-leakage multiplexing, break-before-make timing control, and high-isolation analog path selection in military radios and guidance systems.
Technical Context
The MAX4593CSE implements CMOS-based transmission-gate architecture with rail-to-rail analog signal handling (0V to V+), supporting full-swing operation up to +15V. Its logic inputs accept standard TTL/CMOS levels (≤0.8V for "0", ≥5V for "1"), and internal ESD protection exceeds 2000V per Method 3015.7.
It features guaranteed channel-to-channel RON matching (≤1Ω max at +12V), tightly controlled RON flatness over signal range, and break-before-make timing (5–20ns) specific to its dual NO/NC configuration - ensuring signal integrity during simultaneous channel reconfiguration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 16Ω max at +15V - ensures minimal voltage drop and power loss in signal paths carrying up to ±10mA. |
| Turn-On Time (tON) | 50ns max - enables high-speed sampling and real-time signal routing in test instrumentation. |
| Turn-Off Time (tOFF) | 30ns max - supports rapid channel isolation for dynamic multiplexing applications. |
| Charge Injection | 5pC max - minimizes voltage glitch at COM terminals during switching, critical for sample-and-hold accuracy. |
| RON Flatness | 1.75Ω max over 0–10V range - maintains consistent gain and linearity across analog input signals. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 0.1nA max at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and precision measurement circuits. |
| Supply Range | +12V or +15V single supply - simplifies power architecture by eliminating need for dual-rail supplies. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4593CSE is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (SOIC) package, 3.9mm width, with standard 1.27mm pitch and surface-mount footprint. Pin 1 is marked via notch or dot; pin 5 is GND; pins 13 and 4 are V+ and V− respectively.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 (pins 1, 8, 9, 16) | Logic control inputs | Drive ≤0.8V for logic "0" (deactivate), ≥5V for logic "1" (activate); each controls one switch pair (NO/NC). |
| COM1–COM4 (pins 2, 7, 10, 15) | Analog common terminals | Signal return path shared between NO and NC contacts; must be connected to system analog ground or signal reference. |
| NO1, NO4 (pins 3, 6) | Normally open switch outputs | Connect to COMx only when corresponding INx = logic "1"; used for active-path routing. |
| NC1, NC2 (pins 11, 14) | Normally closed switch outputs | Connected to COMx when corresponding INx = logic "0"; provide default-path continuity in fail-safe configurations. |
| V+ (pin 13) | Positive supply | Accepts +12V or +15V; powers internal logic and analog switches; substrate connection point. |
| V− (pin 4) | Negative supply | Typically tied to GND; defines lower analog rail; required even in single-supply mode. |
| GND (pin 5) | Ground reference | Logic and analog reference node; must be low-impedance and separated from noisy digital ground where possible. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two NO + two NC configuration | Enables simultaneous active-path selection and default-path retention - ideal for redundant signal routing and safety-critical switching. |
| Break-before-make timing | 5–20ns guaranteed interval prevents momentary shorting between NO and NC paths during transition - essential for avoiding signal contention. |
| 1Ω max RON match between channels | Ensures balanced gain and phase response across multiple switched paths - critical for multi-channel instrumentation and ATE systems. |
| ESD >2000V per Method 3015.7 | Provides robust handling tolerance during board assembly and field service without requiring external protection diodes. |
| Pin compatibility with DG611/DG612/DG613 | Allows direct replacement in legacy designs using Vishay/Supertex analog switches - reduces redesign effort and qualification time. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4592CSE | Four NO-only configuration; identical RON, speed, and leakage specs; same pinout and package. | Suitable where all four paths require active-enable behavior, not fail-safe default paths. | Select MAX4592CSE when no NC functionality is needed and full channel activation is required simultaneously. |
| DG612DN | Pin-compatible but higher RON (35Ω typ), slower switching (tON = 120ns), and no guaranteed RON flatness or charge injection spec. | Acceptable for non-critical general-purpose switching where precision and speed are secondary. | Choose DG612DN only for cost-sensitive, non-precision applications where MAX4593CSE's performance margins are unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX4592CSE and DG612DN, the MAX4593CSE uniquely combines mixed NO/NC topology with sub-50ns switching, 5pC charge injection, and guaranteed RON flatness - making it optimal for applications demanding both functional flexibility and metrological accuracy.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX4593CSE?
The MAX4593CSE is specified for commercial-grade operation from 0°C to +70°C. This range applies to the 'C' grade variant (as indicated by the 'C' in CSE), and is validated per the device's Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables under +12V or +15V supply conditions. The 'E' grade version (e.g., MAX4593ESE) extends to –40°C to +85°C.
Does MAX4593CSE support dual-supply operation?
No, MAX4593CSE is designed exclusively for single-supply operation at either +12V or +15V, with V− tied to GND. For true dual-supply (±V) or low-voltage (e.g., +5V) operation, Maxim specifies the pin-compatible MAX391 family - not the MAX4593CSE. Attempting to apply negative voltage to V− violates Absolute Maximum Ratings.
What does "break-before-make" mean for MAX4593CSE, and is it guaranteed?
Break-before-make refers to the guaranteed minimum time interval (5–20ns) during which both NO and NC paths are simultaneously open when toggling INx logic states. This feature is explicitly specified for MAX4593CSE in the Electrical Characteristics table and ensures no signal shorting occurs between normally open and normally closed contacts - a key differentiator from NO-only or NC-only variants like MAX4591/MAX4592.
Can MAX4593CSE be used with analog signals exceeding the supply rails?
No. The MAX4593CSE analog signal range is strictly limited to V− ≤ VCOM/VNO/VNC ≤ V+. With V− = GND and V+ = +12V or +15V, signals must remain within 0V to V+ - no rail-to-rail beyond supply is supported. Exceeding these limits risks damage due to internal clamp diode conduction and violates Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Is MAX4593CSE pin-compatible with DG611/DG612/DG613 series devices?
Yes, MAX4593CSE is explicitly stated as pin-compatible with DG611, DG612, and DG613 in the Features section of the datasheet. This includes identical pin assignments for INx, COMx, NOx/NCx, V+, V−, and GND across all packages (SO, TSSOP, DIP). However, electrical performance (e.g., RON, speed, leakage) differs significantly - MAX4593CSE offers superior specs and should not be assumed functionally interchangeable without circuit validation.
