Product details
Overview
MAX4606ESE+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad SPST CMOS 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 - ideal for reed relay replacement in PBX systems and audio-signal routing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4606ESE+ datasheet, MAX4606ESE+ pinout, MAX4606ESE+ application, or MAX4606ESE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON match (≤0.5Ω), off-leakage ≤2.5nA at +85°C, TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds, and SOIC-16 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The MAX4606ESE+ implements four independent SPST switches in a single SOIC-16 package, with mixed NO/NC configuration per channel pair (switches 1 & 4 = NO; switches 2 & 3 = NC). Its CMOS architecture enables rail-to-rail analog signal switching across full supply ranges.
Control inputs feature fixed TTL/CMOS thresholds (VIN_H = 1.7–2.4V, VIN_L = 0.8–1.7V) independent of supply voltage, ensuring interoperability with +12V single-supply or ±15V dual-supply logic interfaces without level shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance | 5Ω max - ensures minimal voltage drop and power loss in signal paths up to ±10V analog swing |
| RON Match | 0.5Ω max between channels - critical for matched gain/attenuation in differential or multi-path routing |
| Off-Leakage Current | 2.5nA max at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor or precision measurement circuits |
| Supply Range | +4.5V to +36V (single) or ±4.5V to ±20V (dual) - supports wide industrial and test-equipment power architectures |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS thresholds at +12V or ±15V - eliminates need for external level translators in legacy control systems |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 120ns / 130ns typical - enables reliable switching of audio-band and low-speed data signals |
| ESD Protection | >2000V HBM - enhances robustness during board handling and system integration |
Pinout & Package
MAX4606ESE+ uses a 16-pin narrow SOIC (SO/DIP) package with exposed pad not present; footprint matches industry-standard SOIC-16 (5.3mm width), suitable for automated assembly and IPC-7351-compliant layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8, 9, 16 | IN1–IN4 | Digital control inputs - active-high logic drives NO/NC state per channel pair |
| 2, 7, 10, 15 | COM1–COM4 | Analog common terminals - bidirectional signal path connection point for each switch |
| 3, 6, 11, 14 | NC1–NC4 | Normally closed analog terminals - connected to COM when IN = 0 (MAX4606 configures pins 3/6 as NC, 11/14 as NC) |
| 13 | V+ | Positive analog supply - must be powered before V− and logic inputs to prevent latch-up |
| 4 | V− | Negative analog supply - tied to GND for single-supply operation; sequencing critical |
| 5 | GND | Digital/analog reference ground - shared return for logic and analog sections |
| 12 | VL | Logic supply input - accepts 2.7V to 5.5V, decoupling required for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed NO/NC topology | Two NO (switches 1 & 4) and two NC (switches 2 & 3) enable fail-safe and default-path routing in safety-critical signal chains |
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ without clipping - essential for ±15V op-amp interfacing and audio line-level switching |
| RON flatness ≤0.5Ω | Minimal resistance variation over full signal range (±10V) - preserves THD and amplitude accuracy in AC-coupled paths |
| Low charge injection (225pC typ) | Reduces transient glitches in sample-and-hold or multiplexed ADC front-ends |
| Guaranteed ESD >2000V | Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 - reduces field failure risk in unshielded test equipment enclosures |

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 supply, but only NO configuration; no NC channels | Suitable for pure signal routing, not fail-safe or default-path designs requiring NC functionality | Select when only NO topology is needed and lower RON is prioritized over NC capability |
| TS5A3157DCKR | Single-pole double-throw (SPDT), 0.75Ω RON, +1.65V to +5.5V supply only - no dual-supply support | Limited to low-voltage portable systems; cannot replace MAX4606ESE+ in ±15V or +24V industrial environments | Choose for battery-powered audio accessories where ultra-low RON and small SC-70 package are critical |
Compared with ADG1404BRUZ and TS5A3157DCKR, the MAX4606ESE+ uniquely provides mixed NO/NC topology with wide supply flexibility and industrial temperature rating - making it irreplaceable in applications requiring both default-closed safety paths and high-voltage signal integrity.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4606ESE+?
The MAX4606ESE+ supports absolute maximum analog supply ratings of V+ to GND = -0.3V to +44V and V− to GND = +0.3V to -44V. For continuous operation, the recommended dual-supply range is ±4.5V to ±20V, and the single-supply range is +4.5V to +36V. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage due to internal diode clamping and thermal overstress.
Does MAX4606ESE+ require external level-shifting when interfaced with 3.3V microcontrollers?
No - the MAX4606ESE+ features TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds (VIN_H = 1.7–2.4V, VIN_L = 0.8–1.7V) that accept 3.3V logic directly when VL is supplied at 3.3V or 5V. No external level shifter is needed, provided VL is decoupled and sequenced after V+ and before digital inputs.
How does the mixed NO/NC configuration of MAX4606ESE+ benefit system safety design?
The MAX4606ESE+ integrates two NO (switches 1 & 4) and two NC (switches 2 & 3) channels, enabling fail-safe default paths - e.g., maintaining sensor feedback continuity (NC) while enabling actuator control (NO) only on command. This eliminates reliance on external pull-up/down components and reduces single-point failure risk in critical monitoring systems.
Can MAX4606ESE+ operate reliably at -40°C ambient temperature?
Yes - the MAX4606ESE+ is rated for -40°C to +85°C operation (industrial grade), with all key parameters including RON, leakage current, and switching time fully characterized across this range. Electrical specifications such as 2.5nA max off-leakage and 120ns turn-on time apply at -40°C, ensuring consistent performance in cold-environment deployments like outdoor telecom or avionics.
What is the purpose of the VL pin on MAX4606ESE+ and how should it be connected?
The VL pin on MAX4606ESE+ supplies the logic interface section and must be connected to a clean 2.7V–5.5V source, independent of analog supplies. It sets input threshold levels and powers internal gate drivers. VL should be decoupled with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND near the pin; tying VL to V+ is permissible but may increase logic supply current if V+ exceeds 5.5V.
