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 operation 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 DPST topology, leakage current ≤0.5nA at +25°C, TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds, and compatibility with legacy DG401/DG405 PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4633CSE+ employs parallel N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs per switch channel, enabling low on-resistance while supporting rail-to-rail analog signals. Its internal voltage-sensing comparators monitor NO/NC inputs against V+ and V− rails; exceeding either by ~50mV triggers automatic disconnection and output clamping to the appropriate supply rail.
Fault response is asymmetric: transient overvoltage causes near-instantaneous clamping (<10ns delay), but recovery after fault removal takes ~2.5µs due to COM terminal RC time constant. The device operates without power-supply sequencing and remains fully off when unpowered-critical for hot-swap and system safety applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | Double-pole/single-throw (DPST) - two independent SPST switches per package, no NC path |
| Fault Protection | ±36V on NO/NC pins with ±15V supplies - protects connected loads during power-up/down or field-induced transients |
| On-Resistance (max) | 85Ω at +25°C, VCOM = ±10V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and thermal drift in precision analog paths |
| Off-Leakage Current | 0.5nA at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor multiplexing and data acquisition front-ends |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±18V dual or +9V to +36V single - supports wide industrial input ranges and simplifies power architecture |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS thresholds (0.8V/2.4V) - interoperable with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 150ns/400ns typical (±15V) - enables reliable switching in moderate-speed data acquisition and ATE systems |
Pinout & Package
MAX4633CSE+ is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package, 150 mil width, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and gull-wing leads.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | COM1, COM2 | Common terminals for both DPST channels - bidirectional analog I/O nodes tied to load side |
| 2, 7, 12 | N.C. | No internal connection - must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice; no routing required |
| 3, 6 | NO1, NO2 | Normally open switch terminals - only fault-protected pins; connect to signal sources requiring overvoltage resilience |
| 4, 5 | N/A | Not used in MAX4633 - unlike MAX4632, this variant has no NC terminals; pins are unassigned |
| 9, 16 | NO3, NO4 | Second set of NO terminals - completes DPST structure; electrically identical to pins 3/6 |
| 10, 15 | IN1, IN2 | Digital control inputs - active-high logic drives both poles of each DPST switch simultaneously |
| 11 | V+ | Positive supply rail - powers internal logic and gate drivers; must be decoupled locally |
| 13 | GND | Ground reference - separate from analog signal ground; connects to logic and level translator circuitry |
| 14 | V− | Negative supply rail - provides gate drive for P-channel FETs; critical for rail-to-rail conduction range |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ without distortion or clipping - essential for full-scale sensor interface and DAC output routing |
| Fault protection with clamp output | During overvoltage, COM outputs clamp to V+ or V− (not float or short) - prevents latch-up and maintains defined logic state in downstream circuits |
| No power-supply sequencing required | V+, V−, and logic inputs may power up in any order - eliminates external sequencing ICs in multi-rail industrial systems |
| Pin compatibility with DG401/DG405 | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy designs - reduces redesign cost and qualification time for fielded equipment upgrades |
| Low power consumption | <6mW typical - enables use in thermally constrained enclosures and battery-backed monitoring modules |
Applications
| Industrial Process Control | Data Acquisition Systems |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Multiplexing 4–20mA current-loop sensor inputs in PLC analog input modules exposed to lightning-induced surges on field wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DPST analog switch isolates individual sensor channels while providing ±36V fault tolerance on field-side NO terminals. Use Value: Prevents damage to precision op-amps and ADC front-ends during transients; eliminates need for external TVS diodes per channel. |
Use Scenario: Channel selection in 16-channel, 16-bit SAR ADC systems measuring thermocouples, RTDs, and strain gauges across ±10V range. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual DPST configuration routes differential sensor pairs (e.g., +/− inputs) with matched on-resistance and timing. Use Value: Maintains common-mode rejection and gain accuracy via <6Ω on-resistance matching between poles. |
| Avionics Signal Routing | Redundant Backup Systems |
Use Scenario: Selecting between primary and backup flight control sensor signals in airborne inertial measurement units (IMUs), operating from ±15V supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fault-protected switch ensures continuity during EMI events; clamped COM output prevents erroneous actuator commands. Use Value: Meets DO-160 Section 22 radiated susceptibility requirements without added filtering or shielding overhead. |
Use Scenario: Automatic failover between main and redundant power management controllers in telecom rectifier shelves. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DPST topology breaks both power and ground paths simultaneously during switchover - avoids partial conduction states. Use Value: Eliminates risk of backfeeding or shoot-through during controller handoff; supports SIL-2 functional safety compliance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4631CSE+ | Two SPST NO switches (no DPST structure); identical fault protection, on-resistance, and supply specs | Suitable for single-ended signal routing only; cannot replace DPST requirement for differential or isolated path breaking | Select when only one pole per channel is needed and board space allows discrete routing of second path |
| ADG465BRUZ | Single SPST, ±20V fault protection, 45Ω on-resistance, 16-TSSOP; lacks DPST topology and ±36V rating | Lower voltage rating restricts use to non-industrial environments; higher on-resistance impacts low-level signal integrity | Consider only for cost-sensitive, low-voltage lab equipment where ±36V fault margin is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX4631CSE+, the MAX4633CSE+ provides true DPST isolation critical for safety-critical break-before-make operations, while ADG465BRUZ trades fault robustness for lower on-resistance in benign environments - neither offers the combined DPST + ±36V capability of MAX4633CSE+.

FAQ
What is the maximum fault voltage the MAX4633CSE+ can withstand on its NO pins?
The MAX4633CSE+ supports ±36V fault voltage on NO1–NO4 pins when powered with ±15V supplies, and ±40V when completely unpowered. This rating applies only to NO/NC terminals - COM, IN, V+, V−, and GND pins are not fault-protected and must remain within absolute maximum ratings. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage.
Does the MAX4633CSE+ support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX4633CSE+ operates from a single +9V to +36V supply with V− connected to GND. In this mode, the fault-protection range remains ±36V relative to GND on NO pins, and rail-to-rail signal handling extends from 0V to V+. Logic inputs retain TTL/CMOS compatibility with thresholds of 0.8V (low) and 2.4V (high).
How does the MAX4633CSE+ differ from the MAX4632CSE+ in pin function?
Unlike the MAX4632CSE+, which implements SPDT switches with NC/NO/COM per channel, the MAX4633CSE+ provides DPST functionality: pins 3/6/9/16 are all NO terminals, pins 1/8 are COM1/COM2, and pins 4/5 are unassigned. No NC functionality exists - making it unsuitable for break-before-make or changeover applications requiring NC paths.
Is the MAX4633CSE+ pin-compatible with the DG405?
Yes, the MAX4633CSE+ uses the same 16-pin narrow SO footprint and pinout as the DG405, including identical assignments for COM, NO, IN, V+, V−, and GND. However, pins 4 and 5 (NC on DG405) are unused in MAX4633CSE+, whereas DG405 uses them for NC functions - verify PCB netlist compatibility before drop-in replacement.
What is the on-resistance matching specification between the two poles of the MAX4633CSE+?
The MAX4633CSE+ guarantees ≤6Ω maximum on-resistance mismatch (∆RON) between its two DPST poles at +25°C under matched bias conditions (VCOM = ±10V, ICOM = 1mA). This tight matching ensures balanced signal transfer in differential applications and minimizes gain error in precision instrumentation amplifier front-ends.
