Product details
Overview
MAX4632ESE from Maxim Integrated is a fault-protected, high-voltage dual SPDT analog switch with rail-to-rail signal handling, ±25V fault protection on NO/NC pins (with ±15V supplies), 85Ω max on-resistance at +25°C, and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs-designed for industrial data acquisition systems requiring robust overvoltage resilience during power-up/down sequences.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4632ESE datasheet, MAX4632ESE pinout, MAX4632ESE application, or MAX4632ESE equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed fault-protection limits, real-world application contexts, and two technically documented alternative parts-all derived from Maxim's official 19-1515 Rev 0 datasheet and ordering documentation.
Technical Context
The MAX4632ESE implements a parallel N-channel/P-channel FET architecture with integrated voltage-sensing comparators on each NO/NC terminal. It enables bidirectional rail-to-rail analog signal switching while actively clamping COM outputs to V+ or V− during overvoltage faults up to ±25V (with ±15V supplies) or ±40V (power-off).
Unlike traditional series-FET fault-protected switches, it achieves low on-resistance (≤85Ω) without sacrificing fault tolerance. Its dual-supply operation (±4.5V to ±18V) or single-supply mode (+9V to +36V) supports flexible system integration in mixed-signal industrial environments where supply sequencing is impractical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | Dual SPDT (NO/NC per channel); enables signal routing between two paths per switch, critical for redundant sensor selection or backup channel isolation. |
| Fault Protection Range | ±25V on NO/NC pins with ±15V supplies; prevents latch-up or damage when input transients exceed rails-verified per Absolute Maximum Ratings table. |
| On-Resistance (max) | 85Ω at +25°C, VCOM = ±10V, ICOM = 1mA; ensures minimal signal attenuation and thermal drift in precision analog front-ends. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 0.5nA at +25°C, VCOM = ±14V, VNO/VNC = ∓14V; preserves signal integrity in high-impedance measurement circuits like thermocouple or strain gauge interfaces. |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±18V dual or +9V to +36V single; supports legacy ±15V industrial buses and modern wide-input power architectures without level-shifting. |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS thresholds (VINH = 2.4V, VINL = 0.8V at ±15V); eliminates need for external logic translators when interfacing with microcontrollers or FPGA I/O banks. |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 100ns/50ns typical (VCOM = ±10V, RL = 1kΩ); enables fast multiplexing in high-speed data acquisition up to ~10MHz bandwidth. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4632ESE is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package, 150 mil width, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | COM1, COM2 | Analog common terminals; bidirectional signal path endpoints-must be routed with controlled impedance for high-fidelity analog signals. |
| 2, 7, 12 | N.C. | No internal connection; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or EMI susceptibility. |
| 3, 6 | NC3, NC4 | Normally closed terminals for Switches 1 & 2; active when INx = 0; used for default-path continuity in fail-safe configurations. |
| 4, 5 | NO3, NO4 | Normally open terminals for Switches 1 & 2; active when INx = 1; selected path during normal operation or redundancy activation. |
| 9, 16 | NO1, NO2 | Normally open terminals for Switches 1 & 2-identical function to Pins 4/5 but mapped to alternate switch pair per datasheet Pin Configurations (p.14). |
| 10, 15 | IN1, IN2 | Digital control inputs; CMOS/TTL compatible; drive internal gate translators to switch FETs-no pull-up/pull-down required. |
| 11 | V+ | Positive supply input; powers internal logic and P-channel drivers; must be decoupled with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 13 | GND | Ground reference for logic circuitry; isolated from analog signal paths-connect to system digital ground plane only. |
| 14 | V− | Negative supply input; powers N-channel drivers and fault-sense comparators; requires local decoupling independent of V+. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fault protection with power off | Withstands ±40V on NO/NC pins when V+/V− = 0V-enables safe hot-plug operation in maintenance-critical avionics and test equipment. |
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Passes analog signals from V− to V+ without clipping or distortion-essential for full-scale sensor output capture in process control loops. |
| No power-supply sequencing required | V+, V−, and logic inputs may power up in any order-eliminates complex power management ICs in multi-rail embedded systems. |
| All switches off with power off | Guarantees open-circuit isolation between NO/NC and COM when supplies are absent-prevents backfeeding or unintended signal leakage. |
| Output clamped during fault | COM outputs clamp to V+ or V− within nanoseconds of overvoltage detection-preserves downstream circuit integrity without external TVS diodes. |
Applications
| Industrial Data Acquisition | Avionics Signal Routing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4632CSE | Same electrical specs, but rated for 0°C to +70°C (vs. −40°C to +85°C for MAX4632ESE); narrower temperature range limits use in extended industrial environments. | Not suitable for outdoor or under-hood automotive applications requiring −40°C operation. | Select MAX4632CSE only for cost-sensitive commercial-grade systems operating strictly within 0°C–70°C ambient. |
| ADG465BRUZ | Lower fault protection (±20V), higher on-resistance (105Ω), no rail-to-rail clamping-requires external protection diodes for ±25V operation. | Lacks integrated fault recovery; unsuitable for unattended ATE or avionics where autonomous fault containment is mandatory. | Choose ADG465BRUZ only if lower supply current (<1µA) and smaller 16-TSSOP package outweigh fault-protection trade-offs. |
Compared with MAX4632CSE and ADG465BRUZ, the MAX4632ESE uniquely delivers extended temperature operation, guaranteed ±25V fault protection with active COM clamping, and rail-to-rail signal fidelity-making it the sole choice for mission-critical industrial and aerospace signal routing where reliability under stress is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum fault voltage the MAX4632ESE can withstand on its NO/NC pins?
The MAX4632ESE withstands ±25V on NO/NC pins when powered with ±15V supplies, and ±40V when all supplies are off-per Absolute Maximum Ratings Table (p.2). Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage. The MAX4632ESE's internal clamping activates within nanoseconds to limit COM output to V+ or V− during overvoltage events.
Does the MAX4632ESE require power-supply sequencing during startup?
No-the MAX4632ESE does not require power-supply sequencing. V+, V−, and logic inputs may power up in any order without latch-up or malfunction. This is confirmed in the Detailed Description section (p.9) and eliminates need for external sequencing controllers in multi-rail industrial systems using the MAX4632ESE.
Can the MAX4632ESE operate from a single supply, and what is the valid range?
Yes-the MAX4632ESE operates from a single supply between +9V and +36V, with V− connected to GND. This is explicitly stated in the General Description (p.1) and Electrical Characteristics tables (pp.4–5). Single-supply operation maintains full fault protection and rail-to-rail performance, making the MAX4632ESE suitable for battery-powered or wide-input industrial power architectures.
What is the on-resistance matching between the two SPDT channels of the MAX4632ESE?
The MAX4632ESE guarantees ≤6Ω maximum on-resistance mismatch (∆RON) between its two SPDT channels at +25°C (p.3, Electrical Characteristics). This tight matching ensures consistent gain and phase response when routing differential or matched-signal pairs-critical for precision instrumentation and balanced audio routing applications using the MAX4632ESE.
Is the MAX4632ESE pin-compatible with industry-standard DG403 switches?
Yes-the MAX4632ESE is pin-compatible with the DG403, as stated in the General Description (p.1): "The MAX4631/MAX4632/MAX4633 high-voltage, dual analog switches are pin compatible with the industry-standard DG401/DG403/DG405." However, only NO/NC pins are fault-protected; COM, IN, V+, V−, and GND retain identical functionality-enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts using the MAX4632ESE.
