Product details
Overview
MAX4633CSE from Maxim Integrated is a fault-protected, high-voltage dual analog switch with double-pole/single-throw (DPST) configuration. It features ±36V fault protection on NO/NC terminals with power applied, 85Ω max on-resistance at +25°C, rail-to-rail signal handling, and operates from ±4.5V to ±18V dual supplies or +9V to +36V single supply. It is used in industrial process control systems where overvoltage transients threaten downstream circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4633CSE datasheet, MAX4633CSE pinout, MAX4633CSE application, or MAX4633CSE equivalent, key selection criteria include fault-protection voltage limits (±36V), dual-supply compatibility, DPST topology for isolated channel pairing, low off-leakage (0.5nA at +25°C), and pin compatibility with DG401/DG403/DG405 legacy switches.
Technical Context
The MAX4633CSE implements a parallel N-channel/P-channel MOSFET switch architecture with integrated voltage-sensing comparators on each NO/NC terminal. During normal operation, it delivers bidirectional rail-to-rail conduction with matched on-resistance (≤6Ω between channels). When input voltage exceeds V+ or V− by ~50mV, internal sensing circuitry forces the switch open and clamps COM output to the appropriate supply rail.
Fault response is asymmetric: transient overvoltage causes sub-10ns clamp activation, but recovery after fault removal takes ~2.5µs due to COM node RC time constant. The device requires no power-supply sequencing and remains fully off with all supplies at 0V - critical for hot-swap and power-up safety in ATE and avionics systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | Double-pole/single-throw (DPST) - two independent SPST switches per package, enabling isolated dual-channel routing without crosstalk coupling. |
| Fault Protection | ±36V on NO/NC pins with ±15V supplies - protects connected loads during power-up/down or field-induced transients without latch-up or damage. |
| On-Resistance | 85Ω max at +25°C, ±15V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation and thermal drift in precision sensor multiplexing paths. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 0.5nA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance data acquisition front-ends (e.g., thermocouple or strain gauge interfaces). |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±18V dual or +9V to +36V single - supports wide industrial input rails and simplifies system-level power architecture. |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS inputs with 0.8V/2.4V thresholds at ±15V - enables direct interfacing with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting. |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 150ns/400ns max at ±15V - suitable for moderate-speed switching in automated test equipment and redundant backup signal paths. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4633CSE is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package with 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, and rated for 0°C to +70°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | COM1, COM2 | Common analog terminals for both DPST channels - bidirectional, rail-to-rail capable, not fault-protected. |
| 2, 7, 12 | N.C. | No internal connection - must be left unconnected; no routing or grounding required. |
| 3, 6 | NO1, NO2 | Fault-protected normally-open analog inputs - withstand ±36V faults with power applied; open-circuit during fault. |
| 4, 5 | NO3, NO4 | Fault-protected normally-open analog inputs for second DPST pair - electrically identical to pins 3/6, enabling dual independent switching paths. |
| 9, 16 | NO1, NO2 | Redundant NO terminal assignments - same as pins 3/6; confirms DPST layout symmetry in SO package. |
| 10, 15 | IN1, IN2 | Digital control inputs - TTL/CMOS compatible; drive internal logic translators to switch gate drivers. |
| 11 | V+ | Positive supply input - powers internal logic and P-channel gate drivers; sets high-threshold logic level. |
| 13 | GND | Ground reference - connects to internal logic and ESD protection diodes; separate from analog signal ground path. |
| 14 | V− | Negative supply input - powers N-channel gate drivers; determines low-threshold logic level and on-resistance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-Rail Signal Handling | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ on NO/NC pins - eliminates clipping in ±10V industrial sensor interfaces and full-scale DAC outputs. |
| Fault-Protected Inputs | NO/NC pins survive ±36V faults with ±15V supplies - prevents catastrophic failure in avionics I/O modules exposed to lightning-induced surges. |
| No Power-Supply Sequencing Required | Operates safely with any supply ramp order - removes startup timing constraints in multi-rail embedded controllers and modular instrumentation. |
| All Switches Off with Power Off | Guaranteed open-circuit state when V+ = V− = 0V - blocks unintended signal leakage during system standby or brownout conditions. |
| Pin Compatible with DG401/DG403/DG405 | Direct PCB footprint replacement for legacy non-fault-protected switches - reduces redesign effort while upgrading protection level. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4632CSE | SPDT topology (NO/NC per channel) vs. MAX4633CSE's DPST; ±25V fault protection (not ±36V); same package and pinout. | Used where channel polarity inversion or break-before-make timing is required - e.g., H-bridge control or relay emulation. | Select MAX4632CSE only if NC functionality is needed; otherwise MAX4633CSE provides superior fault margin and simpler routing. |
| ADG465BRUZ | Single SPST, ±20V fault rating, 44Ω typical RON, 16-TSSOP package - not pin-compatible; lacks DPST structure. | Suitable for lower-voltage, single-channel applications where space is constrained and ±36V protection is unnecessary. | Choose ADG465BRUZ only for cost-sensitive, single-path designs; MAX4633CSE remains optimal for dual-channel, high-fault-margin industrial use. |
Compared with MAX4632CSE and ADG465BRUZ, the MAX4633CSE uniquely delivers DPST isolation with ±36V fault tolerance in a legacy-compatible SO package - making it the only option for retrofitting dual-channel, high-reliability signal routing without board redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum fault voltage the MAX4633CSE can withstand on its NO/NC pins?
The MAX4633CSE withstands ±36V on NO/NC pins when powered with ±15V supplies, and ±40V when all supplies are at 0V. Exceeding these limits - even briefly - risks permanent damage. This specification is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics section of the MAX4633CSE datasheet under "Fault-Protected Analog Signal Range."
Is the MAX4633CSE pin-compatible with the DG401 series?
Yes, the MAX4633CSE has identical pinout and footprint to the DG401, DG403, and DG405. However, only the NO/NC pins are fault-protected - COM, IN, V+, V−, and GND retain standard electrical behavior. This allows direct PCB replacement, but designers must verify that fault exposure is limited to NO/NC nodes per the MAX4633CSE datasheet guidance.
Does the MAX4633CSE support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX4633CSE operates from a single +9V to +36V supply with V− tied to GND. In this mode, it maintains ±36V fault protection on NO/NC pins and retains rail-to-rail signal handling. Logic thresholds remain TTL/CMOS compatible, and on-resistance increases slightly versus dual-supply operation - detailed in the Single-Supply Electrical Characteristics tables of the MAX4633CSE datasheet.
What is the on-resistance matching between the two DPST channels of the MAX4633CSE?
The MAX4633CSE guarantees ≤6Ω maximum on-resistance mismatch (∆RON) between its two DPST channels at +25°C with ±15V supplies. This tight matching ensures balanced gain and phase response in differential signal paths, such as dual-channel sensor conditioning or matched filter banks, as verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "On-Resistance Match Between Channels."
How does the MAX4633CSE behave during power-down?
During power-down (V+ = V− = 0V), the MAX4633CSE enters a fully off state: all switches open, NO/NC pins tolerate ±40V faults, and COM outputs float with nanoampere leakage. This behavior is intrinsic to its architecture - confirmed in the "All Switches Off with Power Off" feature and Absolute Maximum Ratings - and eliminates signal leakage in standby or fault-isolation modes.
