Product details
Overview
MAX4602CAE from Maxim Integrated is a quad single-pole single-throw (SPST) normally open (NO) analog switch IC with 2.5Ω maximum on-resistance, ±4.5V to ±20V dual-supply or +4.5V to +36V single-supply operation, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling up to ±10V. It delivers matched on-resistance ≤0.5Ω between channels and flatness ≤0.5Ω over the full signal range, making it suitable for precision audio routing and automated test equipment switching paths.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4602CAE datasheet, MAX4602CAE pinout, MAX4602CAE application, or MAX4602CAE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON matching, low 2.5nA off-leakage at +85°C, TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds, and 16-pin SSOP packaging for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4602CAE implements four independent CMOS SPST NO switches controlled by digital inputs with fixed logic polarity (low = OFF, high = ON). Each switch features back-to-back NMOS/PMOS topology enabling rail-to-rail analog conduction without body diode limitations.
It supports dual-supply operation with independent V+ and V− pins, plus dedicated VL logic supply pin for level-shifting compatibility across supply configurations. Input voltage ranges are fully specified from V− −0.3V to V+ +0.3V on all analog terminals, with ESD protection exceeding 2000V per Method 3015.7.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (RON) | 2.5Ω max - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision analog paths |
| RON match between channels | 0.5Ω max - enables accurate gain/phase matching in multi-channel signal routing |
| RON flatness | 0.5Ω max over ±10V signal range - maintains consistent channel performance across full input swing |
| Off-leakage current | 2.5nA max at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor or sample-hold circuits |
| Supply range | +4.5V to +36V single or ±4.5V to ±20V dual - supports industrial, test, and avionics power architectures |
| Logic compatibility | TTL/CMOS thresholds (0.8V/2.4V) - eliminates need for level shifters when interfacing with standard microcontrollers |
| Turn-on/off time | 160ns/170ns typical - enables reliable switching in 5MHz–10MHz signal path control applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX4602CAE is housed in a 16-pin shrink small-outline package (SSOP) with 0.635mm lead pitch and exposed pad thermal design. The package meets JEDEC MO-137 standards and supports reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8, 9, 16 | IN1–IN4 | Digital control inputs; active-high logic turns respective NO switch ON |
| 2, 7, 10, 15 | COM1–COM4 | Analog common terminals - connect to signal source or load return path |
| 3, 6, 11, 14 | NO1–NO4 | Normally open analog output terminals - conduct only when corresponding IN = high |
| 4 | V− | Negative analog supply rail - tied to GND for single-supply use |
| 5 | GND | Digital ground reference - separate from analog supplies but must be connected for logic operation |
| 12 | VL | Logic supply input - accepts 2.7V to 5.5V to set input threshold levels independently of analog rails |
| 13 | V+ | Positive analog supply rail - defines upper analog signal limit and switch conduction capability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports continuous conduction from V− to V+ (±10V typical), eliminating clipping in wide-dynamic-range audio or sensor interfaces |
| Guaranteed RON matching | ≤0.5Ω difference between any two channels - critical for balanced differential switching and multiplexer accuracy |
| Low charge injection (20pC typ) | Minimizes voltage glitch on sampled nodes - essential for precision data acquisition and hold circuits |
| ESD protection >2000V | Meets MIL-STD-883 Method 3015.7 - reduces field failure risk in handling and system integration |
| Single- or dual-supply flexibility | Operates identically across +12V single supply or ±15V dual supply - simplifies board-level power architecture reuse |
Applications
| Reed Relay Replacement | Audio-Signal Routing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Replacing electromechanical relays in automated test equipment where cycle life, speed, and size are critical. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad SPST NO switch providing solid-state signal path control with sub-200ns switching and no contact wear.

Use Scenario: Channel selection and mute control in professional audio mixers requiring low THD and DC-free signal paths. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Analog switch matrix routing line-level signals between inputs, effects loops, and outputs. Use Value: 2.5Ω RON and <0.5Ω matching preserve channel balance; rail-to-rail support handles ±10V peak program material without clipping. |
| Test Equipment Signal Switching | Avionics Sensor Interface |
Use Scenario: Multiplexing DUT signals to measurement instruments in ATE systems with strict leakage and crosstalk requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision analog switch managing signal routing between sensors, sources, and digitizers under programmable control. Use Value: 2.5nA off-leakage at +85°C prevents measurement drift; -56dB off-isolation suppresses inter-channel interference at 1MHz. |
Use Scenario: Conditioning and routing of transducer outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) in flight control subsystems operating across -40°C to +85°C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Robust analog interface isolating sensitive sensor front-ends from noisy digital domains while supporting wide supply ranges. Use Value: Dual-supply operation accommodates legacy ±15V avionics rails; guaranteed RON flatness ensures linear response across full sensor output range. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1412BRUZ | Quad SPST NO, 1.8Ω RON, ±15V supply, but requires VL = V+ and lacks independent logic supply pin | Better RON but less flexible supply configuration; no separate VL pin limits mixed-voltage system integration | Select when lowest possible on-resistance is primary requirement and supply architecture permits VL = V+ |
| TS5A3157DCUR | Single SPST NO, 0.75Ω RON, +1.65V to +5.5V only, SC70-6 package | Lower voltage, single-channel device - not functionally equivalent; requires four units and additional routing for quad replacement | Consider only for space-constrained, low-voltage (<5.5V) designs where quad integration is secondary to footprint minimization |
Compared with ADG1412BRUZ and TS5A3157DCUR, the MAX4602CAE provides unique value through its independent VL pin, guaranteed RON matching, and broad ±4.5V to ±20V dual-supply support - making it the preferred choice for industrial test and avionics signal routing where supply flexibility and channel consistency are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX4602CAE?
The MAX4602CAE is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C. This range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and applies specifically to the 'C' grade suffix (e.g., MAX4602CAE). It is not rated for extended industrial or automotive temperature ranges unless marked with 'E' suffix (e.g., MAX4602EAE).
Does the MAX4602CAE support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX4602CAE supports single-supply operation from +4.5V to +36V. In this mode, V− must be connected to GND, V+ supplies the positive rail, and VL may be tied to V+ or a separate 2.7V–5.5V logic supply. Electrical characteristics in the datasheet explicitly include single +12V supply test conditions.
How is the logic threshold configured on the MAX4602CAE?
The MAX4602CAE uses a dedicated VL pin to set logic thresholds independently of analog supplies. With VL = 5V, inputs recognize VIN_H ≥ 2.4V and VIN_L ≤ 0.8V - ensuring direct TTL/CMOS compatibility. This decoupling allows reliable control even when analog rails operate at ±15V while logic remains at 3.3V or 5V.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage the MAX4602CAE can handle?
The MAX4602CAE supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+, with absolute maximum ratings of V− ≥ −44V and V+ ≤ +44V. Under normal operation with ±15V supplies, it reliably passes ±10V signals. The datasheet specifies guaranteed performance across ±10V with flat RON and low leakage.
Is the MAX4602CAE pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX460x family?
Yes, the MAX4602CAE shares identical pinout and package with MAX4601CAE and MAX4603CAE (all 16-pin SSOP). Functionally, they differ only in switch configuration: MAX4601CAE is quad NC, MAX4602CAE is quad NO, and MAX4603CAE is dual NC/dual NO - allowing layout reuse across variants with firmware-only logic inversion.
