Product details
Overview
MAX4600EAE+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual SPST CMOS analog switch with one normally closed (NC) and one normally open (NO) channel, designed for rail-to-rail signal routing in precision instrumentation and automated test equipment. It delivers 1.25Ω max on-resistance, 0.25Ω max RON match between channels, and 2.5nA max off-leakage at +85°C, operating from +4.5V to +36V single supply or ±4.5V to ±20V dual supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4600EAE+ datasheet, MAX4600EAE+ pinout, MAX4600EAE+ application, or MAX4600EAE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON flatness (0.3Ω max), TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds (+0.8V/+2.4V), ESD protection >2kV, and SSOP-16 packaging suitable for high-density PCB layouts requiring low-distortion switching.
Technical Context
The MAX4600EAE+ integrates two independent SPST switches-one NC and one NO-each controlled by dedicated digital inputs (IN1, IN2) with defined logic sense. Its CMOS architecture enables rail-to-rail analog signal handling across the full supply range while maintaining tight RON matching (≤0.25Ω) and flatness (≤0.3Ω) over ±10V signal swing.
It supports both single-supply (+4.5V to +36V) and dual-supply (±4.5V to ±20V) operation with separate VL pin for logic-level referencing. Input voltage ranges are guaranteed from V− −0.3V to V+ +0.3V on all analog pins, and internal protection diodes clamp signals exceeding supply rails-enabling robust interface with external circuitry without added components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 1.25Ω max - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision analog paths |
| RON Match | 0.25Ω max - guarantees matched gain/attenuation when routing differential or parallel signals |
| RON Flatness | 0.3Ω max - maintains consistent impedance across ±10V input range, critical for low-harmonic distortion |
| Off-Leakage Current | 2.5nA max at +85°C - preserves high-impedance node integrity in sample-and-hold or sensor front-ends |
| Supply Range | +4.5V to +36V single or ±4.5V to ±20V dual - supports industrial, test, and wide-voltage legacy systems |
| Logic Thresholds | +0.8V low / +2.4V high - ensures reliable TTL/CMOS compatibility without level-shifting at +12V or ±15V supplies |
| ESD Protection | >2kV per Method 3015.7 - reduces need for external transient suppression in board-level ESD zones |
Pinout & Package
MAX4600EAE+ is housed in a 16-pin SSOP package (5.3mm width), JEDEC MO-150 compliant, with 0.65mm lead pitch and coplanarity ≤0.10mm. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner adjacent to the index mark.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 15 | No Connect (N.C.) | Not internally connected; tie to GND or low-impedance point to improve isolation performance |
| 2, 7 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be low-impedance return path for leakage and switching currents |
| 4 | V− | Negative analog supply; connect to GND for single-supply operation |
| 5 | GND | Second ground pin - use for star grounding or split analog/digital ground separation |
| 9, 16 | NC1, NC2 | Normally closed analog terminals - conduct to COMx when respective INx = 0 |
| 11, 14 | COM1, COM2 | Common analog terminals - bidirectional signal path shared with NCx/NOx |
| 12 | VL | Logic supply input - sets logic threshold reference; typically tied to +5V or system logic rail |
| 13 | V+ | Positive analog supply - defines upper rail for rail-to-rail signal handling |
| 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 15 | N.C. | Unused pins - must not float; grounding improves off-isolation and EMI immunity |
| IN1, IN2 | Digital Control Inputs | Active-high logic inputs controlling switch state; compatible with +0.8V/+2.4V thresholds |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-Rail Signal Handling | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ without clipping - essential for full-scale ADC/DAC interfacing |
| Guaranteed RON Match | ≤0.25Ω difference between channels - enables accurate differential signal routing and calibration |
| Low Charge Injection | 40pC typical - minimizes voltage glitch on sampled nodes, improving accuracy in multiplexed data acquisition |
| High Off-Isolation | −53dB typical - suppresses crosstalk between active and inactive channels in multi-channel test systems |
| Fast Switching | 150ns turn-on / 200ns turn-off - supports high-throughput automated test sequencing up to ~3MHz |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1419BRUZ | Higher RON (1.8Ω typ), wider temp range (−40°C to +125°C), SPI-controlled | Requires serial interface design; better suited for high-temp industrial control vs. benchtop ATE | Select when extended temperature operation or digital bus control outweighs need for lowest RON |
| TS5A3157DCUR | Lower voltage rating (+5.5V max), smaller 6-pin SC70 package, 0.75Ω RON | Only suitable for low-voltage portable electronics; lacks dual-supply capability and rail-to-rail swing | Choose only for space-constrained, single-supply <5V systems where size trumps voltage flexibility |
Compared with ADG1419BRUZ and TS5A3157DCUR, MAX4600EAE+ uniquely balances ultra-low RON, dual-supply flexibility, and NC/NO hybrid topology-making it optimal for reed-relay replacement in mid-voltage test and telecom infrastructure where analog integrity and configurability are prioritized over digital control or miniaturization.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for MAX4600EAE+?
The MAX4600EAE+ supports absolute maximum ratings of V+ to GND = −0.3V to +44V and V− to GND = +0.3V to −44V. For continuous operation, the recommended supply range is +4.5V to +36V single supply or ±4.5V to ±20V dual supplies. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage, and the V+–V− differential must not exceed 44V.
Does MAX4600EAE+ support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, MAX4600EAE+ supports true rail-to-rail analog signal handling - signals from V− to V+ are passed with minimal distortion. This is confirmed in the datasheet's "Input Voltage Range" specification (VCOM_, VNO_, VNC_ = V− to V+) and validated across temperature and supply conditions, making it suitable for interfacing with full-scale ADCs and DACs.
How is the logic input compatibility implemented in MAX4600EAE+?
MAX4600EAE+ uses fixed +0.8V low and +2.4V high logic thresholds - independent of supply voltage - ensuring TTL/CMOS compatibility when operated from +12V single supply or ±15V dual supplies. The VL pin allows separate logic reference, enabling clean interfacing with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers without level shifters.
What is the function of the NC1 and NC2 pins on MAX4600EAE+?
NC1 (Pin 16) and NC2 (Pin 9) are the normally closed analog terminals of the two SPST switches in MAX4600EAE+. When IN1 = 0, COM1 connects to NC1; when IN2 = 0, COM2 connects to NC2. These pins are distinct from NO1/NO2 (not present on MAX4600EAE+), reflecting its hybrid NC/NO dual-switch architecture.
Can MAX4600EAE+ be used in single-supply configurations?
Yes, MAX4600EAE+ operates reliably in single-supply mode: tie V− to GND, apply V+ between +4.5V and +36V, and reference VL to the appropriate logic rail (e.g., +5V). Electrical characteristics including RON, leakage, and switching times are fully specified under single-supply conditions (e.g., V+ = +12V, V− = 0) in the datasheet.
