Product details
Overview
The MAX4616EPD from Analog Devices is a quad SPST CMOS analog switch with two normally open (NO) and two normally closed (NC) channels, operating from +2V to +5.5V supply, delivering 10Ω max on-resistance at +5V, 12ns turn-on time, and rail-to-rail signal handling for precision low-voltage signal routing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4616EPD datasheet, MAX4616EPD pinout, MAX4616EPD application, or MAX4616EPD equivalent, this device is selected for battery-powered audio routing, low-leakage sample-and-hold front-ends, and high-bandwidth communication channel switching where matched on-resistance and sub-1nA off-leakage at +25°C are critical.
Technical Context
The MAX4616EPD integrates four independent SPST switches in a single 14-pin Plastic DIP package, with dedicated NO1/NO3 and NC2/NC4 control logic enabling simultaneous complementary switching states. Its CMOS architecture ensures TTL/CMOS logic compatibility across supply voltages from +2V to +5.5V using fixed 0.8V/2.4V input thresholds.
Each channel supports bidirectional analog signals from GND to V+, with guaranteed on-resistance matching ≤1Ω and flatness ≤1Ω over the full signal range. Off-leakage remains ≤6nA up to +85°C, and dynamic performance includes 70MHz on-channel bandwidth and −96dB crosstalk at 100kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2V to +5.5V - Enables direct integration into 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V systems without level-shifting. |
| On-Resistance (max) | 10Ω at +5V - Ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor or audio paths. |
| On-Resistance Match | ≤1Ω max between channels - Critical for differential signal integrity and multiplexer channel uniformity. |
| Turn-On / Turn-Off Time | 12ns / 10ns at +25°C - Supports high-speed data acquisition and real-time signal reconfiguration. |
| Off-Leakage Current | ≤6nA at TA = +85°C - Preserves accuracy in high-impedance sample-and-hold and battery-monitoring circuits. |
| Analog Signal Range | GND to V+ - Allows rail-to-rail input/output operation without clamping diodes or external biasing. |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS with 0.8V/2.4V thresholds - Simplifies interface to microcontrollers and FPGAs across voltage domains. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4616EPD uses a 14-pin Plastic DIP package (0.300" wide), rated for −40°C to +85°C operation, with through-hole mounting and 800mW power dissipation at +70°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | NO1, NO3 | Normally open analog terminals - Conduct only when corresponding IN1 or IN3 is HIGH; bidirectional signal path. |
| 3, 11 | NC2, NC4 | Normally closed analog terminals - Conduct when IN2 or IN4 is LOW; maintain continuity during logic reset or power loss. |
| 2, 4, 9, 10 | COM1–COM4 | Common analog terminals - Serve as shared I/O nodes for each SPST switch; support bidirectional AC/DC signals. |
| 5, 6, 12, 13 | IN1–IN4 | Digital control inputs - Accept TTL/CMOS logic levels; drive internal gate networks to select NO/NC state per channel. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - Return path for logic and analog circuitry; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling. |
| 14 | V+ | Positive supply - Powers analog switch core and input buffers; must be decoupled locally with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals from GND to V+ without clipping or distortion - eliminates need for external biasing in single-supply systems. |
| Guaranteed on-resistance flatness | ≤1Ω variation over full signal range - maintains consistent gain and linearity in variable-gain amplifiers and programmable filters. |
| Matched channel on-resistance | ≤1Ω max mismatch between any two switches - enables accurate differential switching and balanced multiplexing. |
| Low charge injection | 6.5pC - Minimizes voltage glitch on sampled nodes, improving accuracy in ADC front-end and hold capacitor circuits. |
| High off-isolation | −85dB at 100kHz - Prevents signal bleed-through in unused channels, essential for multi-source audio/video routing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4616ESD | Same electrical specs, but in 14-pin narrow SO package - surface-mount only, no through-hole option. | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs; requires reflow assembly instead of wave soldering. | Select MAX4616ESD when board area is limited and automated SMT assembly is available. |
| ADG1419BRUZ | Higher on-resistance (1.3Ω typical), wider supply (±15V or +3V to +44V), and higher cost - not pin-compatible. | Suitable for industrial ±15V systems or high-voltage signal conditioning; incompatible with MAX4616EPD layout. | Choose ADG1419BRUZ only when extended voltage range or lower RON tolerance is required - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with MAX4616ESD, the MAX4616EPD offers identical analog performance with through-hole manufacturability and legacy DIP footprint compatibility; versus ADG1419BRUZ, it trades voltage range and RON precision for lower cost, smaller die size, and optimized low-voltage efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the MAX4616EPD?
The MAX4616EPD has an absolute maximum supply voltage of +6V, but its specified operational range is +2V to +5.5V. Operating at +6V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings. For reliable long-term use, keep V+ ≤ +5.5V - especially critical when driving analog signals near the rails or in high-temperature environments where leakage and on-resistance degrade.
Does the MAX4616EPD support bidirectional analog signal flow?
Yes, the MAX4616EPD supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow on all COM, NO, and NC terminals. Each SPST switch operates identically regardless of signal direction - enabling flexible routing in both source-to-load and load-to-source configurations. This is confirmed by the "bidirectional" designation in the Pin Description table and rail-to-rail signal handling specification covering VCOM_, VNO_, and VNC_ from GND to V+.
How does the MAX4616EPD differ from the MAX4614EPD and MAX4615EPD?
The MAX4616EPD integrates two normally open (NO1, NO3) and two normally closed (NC2, NC4) switches in one package, whereas MAX4614EPD contains four NO switches and MAX4615EPD contains four NC switches. All three share identical pinout, supply range, on-resistance, and timing specs - making them functionally interchangeable in designs where mixed NO/NC topology is needed without redesigning PCB layout or firmware logic.
Can the MAX4616EPD operate from a +3.3V supply while maintaining TTL logic compatibility?
Yes - the MAX4616EPD maintains TTL/CMOS logic compatibility at +3.3V supply because its input thresholds are fixed at +0.8V (VIN_L) and +2.4V (VIN_H), independent of V+. At +3.3V, a standard 3.3V CMOS output (0V/3.3V) exceeds VIN_H, ensuring robust HIGH recognition; similarly, 0V satisfies VIN_L. No external level shifters are required for interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers or FPGAs.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the MAX4616EPD in its Plastic DIP package?
The MAX4616EPD in 14-pin Plastic DIP has a continuous power dissipation limit of 800mW at +70°C ambient, with derating at 10.00mW/°C above that temperature. At +85°C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to 650mW (800mW − 15°C × 10mW/°C). This derating ensures safe junction temperature operation within the −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, provided adequate PCB copper area and airflow are maintained.
