Product details
Overview
MAX4606CSE+T from Maxim Integrated is a quad SPST analog switch with two normally open (NO) and two normally closed (NC) channels, 5Ω max on-resistance, ±4.5V to ±20V dual-supply or +4.5V to +36V single-supply operation, and rail-to-rail signal handling - used in audio-signal routing, test equipment, and avionics for low-distortion, reed-relay replacement.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4606CSE+T datasheet, MAX4606CSE+T pinout, MAX4606CSE+T application, or MAX4606CSE+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, terminal roles, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all confirmed against Maxim's official 19-1393 datasheet and SOIC narrow package documentation.
Technical Context
The MAX4606CSE+T implements CMOS-based SPST switching with independent logic control per channel: pins IN1/IN4 drive NO1/NO4 (active-high), while IN2/IN3 drive NC2/NC3 (active-low). Its architecture guarantees matched on-resistance (≤0.5Ω) and flat on-resistance (≤0.5Ω) over ±10V signal range, enabling precision signal routing without gain error or distortion.
It supports TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs (0.8V/2.4V thresholds) across full supply range, includes integrated ESD protection (>2000V HBM), and maintains <2.5nA off-leakage at +85°C - critical for high-impedance sensor and audio front-end applications where leakage-induced DC offset must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 5Ω max - ensures minimal voltage drop and power loss when routing ±10V analog signals at 10mA. |
| RON Match | 0.5Ω max - eliminates inter-channel gain mismatch in multi-path signal conditioning or multiplexing. |
| RON Flatness | 0.5Ω max over ±10V - preserves linearity and THD performance across full analog input swing. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 2.5nA max at +85°C - prevents measurable DC error in high-Z sensor interfaces or precision integrators. |
| Supply Range | +4.5V to +36V (single) or ±4.5V to ±20V (dual) - supports industrial, avionics, and test-equipment rails without level-shifting. |
| Logic Thresholds | 0.8V low / 2.4V high - ensures reliable switching with standard 5V TTL/CMOS controllers, even under ±15V analog supplies. |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 120ns / 130ns typical (dual-supply) - enables fast multiplexing in automated test systems up to ~5MHz. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4606CSE+T is housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC (SOIC-N) package, 3.9mm width, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, with 1.27mm pitch and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 marked by notch or dot; thermal pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1, IN4 | Digital Control Input (NO switches) | Active-high logic: drives NO1/NO4 ON when ≥2.4V; requires no external pull-up for TTL/CMOS compatibility. |
| IN2, IN3 | Digital Control Input (NC switches) | Active-low logic: drives NC2/NC3 OFF when ≥2.4V; default-closed state simplifies fail-safe routing. |
| COM1–COM4 | Analog Common Terminal | Signal path hub: connects to NOx or NCx depending on logic state; rated for ±100mA continuous current. |
| NO1, NO4 | Normally Open Analog Terminal | Open-circuit when IN1/IN4 = low; closes to COM1/COM4 only on logic high - ideal for enable-gated signal paths. |
| NC2, NC3 | Normally Closed Analog Terminal | Shorted to COM2/COM3 when IN2/IN3 = low; breaks connection only on logic high - used for default-on monitoring or safety paths. |
| V+, V− | Analog Supply Rails | Support dual ±4.5V to ±20V or single +4.5V to +36V; internal ESD diodes clamp transients but require proper sequencing. |
| VL | Logic Supply Reference | Accepts 2.7V to 5.5V; decouples logic threshold stability from analog rail noise - critical for mixed-signal integrity. |
| GND | Digital Ground Reference | Separate from analog return; must be tied to system ground at single point to avoid ground loops in sensitive audio routing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-Rail Signal Handling | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ without clipping - essential for full-scale audio, sensor, and instrumentation signal chains. |
| Guaranteed RON Match (≤0.5Ω) | Enables precise differential or ratiometric measurements across multiple switched channels without calibration. |
| Low Charge Injection (10pC typ) | Minimizes voltage glitch on high-impedance nodes during switching - preserves accuracy in sample-and-hold or ADC front-ends. |
| High Off-Isolation (−62dB typ) | Blocks crosstalk between adjacent channels at audio frequencies - critical for multi-channel audio routing and PBX systems. |
| ESD Protection >2000V (HBM) | Withstands handling and board-level ESD events without latch-up or parameter shift - reduces field failure in test equipment. |
Applications
| Audio-Signal Routing | Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Switching line-level stereo signals between multiple DAC outputs and amplifier inputs in professional audio mixers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad SPST switch providing isolated, low-distortion signal paths with simultaneous NO/NC configuration for mute-and-route functionality.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-RON analog switch replacing electromechanical relays to reduce size, power, and wear-out in line-card BOMs. Use Value: 5Ω RON minimizes insertion loss in 600Ω telecom paths; SOIC-N package enables high-density PCB layout for compact line cards. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1404BRUZ | 4-channel, 4.7Ω RON, ±15V dual-supply, but only NO configuration (no NC channels) | Lacks NC functionality - cannot replicate MAX4606CSE+T's mixed NO/NC fail-safe routing | Choose only if all four switches require active-high NO behavior and board layout allows redesign. |
| TS5A23157DCUR | Single-supply only (+1.65V to +5.5V), 0.9Ω RON, 2-channel, no NC option | Not pin-compatible; limited voltage range excludes industrial/test equipment use cases | Select for low-voltage portable audio routing only - not suitable for MAX4606CSE+T's dual-supply or high-voltage applications. |
Compared with ADG1404BRUZ and TS5A23157DCUR, the MAX4606CSE+T uniquely combines dual-supply flexibility, mixed NO/NC topology, and guaranteed RON matching - making it irreplaceable in reed-relay-replacement designs requiring both default-closed and default-open paths within one IC.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX4606CSE+T?
The MAX4606CSE+T is specified for commercial temperature range: 0°C to +70°C. This is confirmed in the Ordering Information table (page 11 of datasheet 19-1393), where "C" suffix denotes 0°C to +70°C, and "E" suffix indicates extended −40°C to +85°C. The CSE package variant uses the "C" grade, not the "E" grade.
Does the MAX4606CSE+T support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX4606CSE+T supports single-supply operation from +4.5V to +36V, with V− connected to GND. Electrical Characteristics tables explicitly list single-supply test conditions (V+ = +12V, V− = 0), and Absolute Maximum Ratings confirm V+ to GND up to +44V and V− to GND down to −0.3V - validating robust single-rail use.
How are the normally open and normally closed channels assigned in the MAX4606CSE+T?
In the MAX4606CSE+T, NO1 and NO4 are controlled by IN1 and IN4 (active-high), while NC2 and NC3 are controlled by IN2 and IN3 (active-low). This is unambiguously shown in the functional diagram on page 1 ("SWITCHES 1,4" and "SWITCHES 2,3") and confirmed in the Pin Description table (page 7), where IN2/IN3 map to NC2/NC3 and IN1/IN4 map to NO1/NO4.
What is the maximum off-leakage current specification for the MAX4606CSE+T at elevated temperature?
The MAX4606CSE+T specifies a maximum off-leakage current of 2.5nA at +85°C, as stated in the General Description and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 4, "INO_, INC_" parameter, Note 6). This value applies to both NO and NC terminals and is 100% tested at hot temperature per Note 6.
Is the MAX4606CSE+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX460x family?
Yes - the MAX4606CSE+T shares identical pinout and package (16-pin narrow SOIC) with MAX4604CSE and MAX4605CSE, as shown in the Pin Configurations diagram (page 1) and Ordering Information table (page 11). All three variants use the same SOIC-N footprint and terminal mapping, enabling drop-in substitution where logic configuration permits.
