Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated MAX4613ESE+

Overview

MAX4613ESE+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad, single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch with two normally closed (NC) and two normally open (NO) channels, designed for precision signal routing in ±4.5V to ±20V or +4.5V to +40V supply systems. It delivers 85Ω max on-resistance, <5nA off-leakage at +85°C, 10pC max charge injection, 250ns max t_ON, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling up to ±15V - enabling high-fidelity switching in test equipment and audio routing.

For engineers reviewing the MAX4613ESE+ datasheet, MAX4613ESE+ pinout, MAX4613ESE+ application, or MAX4613ESE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed R_ON matching (≤4Ω), low flatness variation (≤9Ω), ESD tolerance (≥2000V), TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, and -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating.

Technical Context

The MAX4613ESE+ implements four independent CMOS-based SPST switches with separate logic control inputs (IN1–IN4) and dual-supply analog paths (S/D terminals). Its architecture supports both bipolar (±4.5V to ±20V) and single-supply (+4.5V to +40V) operation, with VL pin configurable for TTL (5V) or CMOS (V+) logic thresholds.

Each switch exhibits symmetrical conduction, sub-250ns switching, and tightly controlled dynamic parameters: 4pF off-capacitance, 16pF on-capacitance, 60dB off-isolation at 1MHz, and 100dB crosstalk rejection between any two channels - critical for low-distortion sample-and-hold and communication signal routing.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

MAX4613ESE+ uses a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package with exposed pad connected to V+. Pin functions are electrically identical across SO/QSOP/TSSOP/DIP variants per Maxim's ordering table.

FAQ

What is the operating temperature range for MAX4613ESE+?

The MAX4613ESE+ is specified for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C. This range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Electrical Characteristics sections, where all guaranteed parameters (e.g., <5nA off-leakage, ≤85Ω R_DS(ON)) are validated across this full span. The 'E' suffix explicitly denotes the extended temperature grade, distinguishing it from the commercial-grade 'C' variants.

Does MAX4613ESE+ support both single-supply and dual-supply operation?

Yes, MAX4613ESE+ operates from either a single +4.5V to +40V supply (with V- tied to GND) or bipolar ±4.5V to ±20V supplies. The Applications Information section explicitly states this dual-mode capability, and electrical characteristics are provided separately for both configurations - including distinct R_DS(ON), leakage, and switching time specs under each condition.

What logic levels are compatible with MAX4613ESE+ inputs?

MAX4613ESE+ supports both TTL and CMOS logic levels via the VL pin: tie VL to +5V for TTL compatibility (VINH ≥ 2.4V, VINL ≤ 0.8V), or to V+ for CMOS-level inputs (VINH ≥ 0.7×V+, VINL ≤ 0.3×V+). This dual-mode flexibility is documented in the Pin Description and Applications Information sections, ensuring interoperability with diverse controller families.

How is the exposed pad on MAX4613ESE+ used?

The exposed pad (EP) on MAX4613ESE+ must be connected to V+ for optimal thermal dissipation and ESD performance. This requirement is stated in the Pin Description table and Top View diagram, where EP is labeled "CONNECT EP TO V+". Failure to do so may compromise reliability under sustained load or ESD events, as the pad serves as both thermal slug and ESD current path.

Is MAX4613ESE+ pin-compatible with industry-standard analog switches?

Yes, MAX4613ESE+ is pin-compatible with the industry-standard DG213, as highlighted in the Features list. This compatibility extends to pin count, pinout assignment (IN/D/S/V+/V-/GND/VL), and functional behavior - enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts designed for DG213, provided supply and temperature requirements align with the MAX4613ESE+ specifications.
