Product details
Overview
MAX4609CPE from Maxim Integrated is a dual single-pole single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch with one normally closed (NC) and one normally open (NO) channel, 2.5Ω maximum on-resistance, rail-to-rail signal handling (±15V dual or +12V single supply), and 2.5nA max off-leakage at +85°C. It replaces electromechanical relays in test equipment and audio routing where low distortion and high reliability are required.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4609CPE datasheet, MAX4609CPE pinout, MAX4609CPE application, or MAX4609CPE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON match (≤0.5Ω), flat on-resistance over signal range, TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds, and dual ±4.5V to ±20V or single +4.5V to +36V operation.
Technical Context
The MAX4609CPE implements two independent SPST switches using BiCMOS process technology, enabling simultaneous control of separate analog paths with matched conduction characteristics. Its architecture supports rail-to-rail analog signals across the full supply range, with internal protection diodes clamping inputs exceeding V+ or V−.
Digital control inputs feature fixed +0.8V/–2.4V logic thresholds-ensuring compatibility with TTL and CMOS logic under both ±15V dual-supply and +12V single-supply conditions. The device guarantees ≤0.5Ω RON flatness and ≤0.5Ω inter-channel RON mismatch across temperature and signal voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 2.5Ω max at ICCOM = 10mA, VNO/VNC = ±10V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision analog paths. |
| RON Match Between Channels | 0.5Ω max - enables balanced gain/phase response in differential or dual-path signal routing. |
| RON Flatness | 0.5Ω max over full signal range - maintains consistent insertion loss regardless of input voltage level. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 2.5nA max at +85°C - preserves high-impedance node integrity in sensor interfaces and sample-hold circuits. |
| Supply Range | +4.5V to +36V (single) or ±4.5V to ±20V (dual) - supports industrial, test, and avionics power architectures without level-shifting. |
| Logic Input Thresholds | +0.8V (low), +2.4V (high) - ensures robust noise margin and direct interface with standard 5V TTL/CMOS controllers. |
| Turn-On / Turn-Off Time | 110ns / 150ns typical at VCOM = ±10V - suitable for medium-speed multiplexing up to ~3MHz switching rate. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4609CPE is housed in a 16-pin plastic DIP (dual in-line package) with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is located at the left end of the top row when viewed from the top with notch or dot oriented upward.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 15 | No Connection (N.C.) | Not internally connected; recommended to tie to GND for improved off-isolation and EMI suppression. |
| 2, 7 | IN1, IN2 | Digital control inputs - active-high logic drives respective switch channels (IN1 controls NC1/COM1; IN2 controls NO2/COM2). |
| 4 | V− | Negative analog supply - connect to DGND for single-supply operation; must be ≥ –44V relative to GND. |
| 5 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - common return for supplies, logic, and signal paths. |
| 9, 16 | NO1, NC2 | Normally open and normally closed terminals - NO1 is open when IN1 = low; NC2 is closed when IN2 = low. |
| 11, 14 | COM1, COM2 | Common analog terminals - bidirectional signal path shared between NO/NC contacts per channel. |
| 12 | VL | Logic supply input - accepts +2.7V to +5.5V; decoupling capacitor required for stable switching performance. |
| 13 | V+ | Positive analog supply - must be ≤ +44V relative to GND; sets upper rail for analog signal swing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RON match ≤0.5Ω | Enables precise amplitude tracking between dual signal paths without calibration in instrumentation front-ends. |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports full-swing signals from V− to V+ without clipping - critical for ±10V industrial sensor conditioning and audio line-level routing. |
| TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs | Eliminates need for external level shifters when interfacing with microcontrollers or FPGAs operating at +5V logic levels. |
| ESD protection >2kV (HBM) | Reduces risk of field failure during board assembly and system integration without requiring additional protection circuitry. |
| Low charge injection (45pC typical) | Minimizes voltage glitch on sampled nodes - essential for high-resolution data acquisition and sample-and-hold accuracy. |
Applications
| Reed Relay Replacement | Audio-Signal Routing |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Replacing electromechanical reed relays in automated test equipment (ATE) fixture switching matrices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual SPST analog switch providing contactless, solid-state path selection for DC–1MHz stimulus/response signals.

Use Value: Delivers <–60dB off-isolation at 1MHz and <–66dB crosstalk - preserving channel separation and dynamic range in multi-channel systems. |
| PBX/PABX Systems | Avionics Signal Conditioning |
|
Use Scenario: Call routing and tone generation circuitry in private branch exchange (PBX) and enterprise telephony platforms. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-path analog switch managing voice-band (300Hz–3.4kHz) signal paths and DTMF tone injection. Use Value: Guarantees flat RON (<0.5Ω variation) across audio band - preventing frequency-dependent insertion loss and harmonic distortion. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4609CSE | Same electrical specs, but in 16-pin narrow SO package (surface-mount); thermal resistance higher than DIP. | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs; requires reflow soldering and different layout rules. | Select MAX4609CSE for automated SMT production; retain MAX4609CPE for through-hole prototyping or legacy DIP-based designs. |
| ADG1419BRUZ | 2.8Ω RON, ±15V supply, 1.5nA off-leakage at +85°C, but only available in TSSOP-16; no NC/NO asymmetry (dual NO). | Lacks mixed NC/NO configuration - requires redesign if normally closed functionality is mandatory. | Choose ADG1419BRUZ only when dual NO topology suffices and surface-mount footprint is acceptable. |
Compared with MAX4609CSE and ADG1419BRUZ, the MAX4609CPE uniquely combines through-hole DIP packaging, guaranteed 0.5Ω RON match, and integrated NC/NO channel asymmetry - making it optimal for relay-replacement upgrades and mixed-signal test fixtures requiring mechanical compatibility and functional fidelity.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4609CPE?
The MAX4609CPE supports absolute maximum ratings of V+ to GND = –0.3V to +44V and V– to GND = +0.3V to –44V. For reliable operation, use within the specified ranges: ±4.5V to ±20V (dual supply) or +4.5V to +36V (single supply). Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage due to internal diode clamp activation or junction breakdown.
Does MAX4609CPE support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, the MAX4609CPE supports rail-to-rail analog signal switching - meaning signals from V– to V+ can pass through the switch without clipping. This capability is confirmed across its full operating temperature range and supply configurations, enabling use with ±10V industrial sensors and +12V audio line drivers without external level shifting.
How does the NC/NO configuration of MAX4609CPE differ from MAX4607CPE and MAX4608CPE?
The MAX4609CPE integrates one normally closed (NC1/COM1) and one normally open (NO2/COM2) SPST switch. In contrast, MAX4607CPE contains two NC switches, and MAX4608CPE contains two NO switches. This asymmetric configuration allows fail-safe or default-path behavior in one channel while enabling active-enable routing in the other - critical for safety-critical multiplexing and redundant signal selection.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance match specification for MAX4609CPE?
The MAX4609CPE guarantees an on-resistance match (∆RON) of ≤0.5Ω maximum between its two channels over the full operating temperature range (0°C to +70°C for C-grade). This is measured at ICOM = 10mA with VNO/VNC = –5V, 0V, or +5V and ensures predictable gain/phase tracking in dual-path applications like stereo audio or differential sensor readout.
Can MAX4609CPE operate with a single +5V supply?
No, the MAX4609CPE cannot operate reliably with only a +5V analog supply. Its minimum single-supply voltage is +4.5V, but proper analog signal swing requires sufficient headroom - e.g., ±10V signals need ≥±12V supplies. With +5V V+, the usable analog range shrinks significantly (V– must be 0V, limiting signal to 0V–5V), and RON increases beyond 2.5Ω. Use +12V or higher for full-spec performance.
