Product details
Overview
The MAX4633ESE from Maxim Integrated is a fault-protected, high-voltage dual analog switch configured as two independent double-pole/single-throw (DPST) switches. It operates from ±4.5V to ±18V dual supplies or +9V to +36V single supply, delivers rail-to-rail signal handling, features 85Ω max on-resistance at +25°C, and provides ±36V fault protection on NO/NC terminals with power applied-enabling robust signal routing in industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4633ESE datasheet, MAX4633ESE pinout, MAX4633ESE application, or MAX4633ESE equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability analog switching where overvoltage transients, wide supply flexibility, and bidirectional rail-to-rail signal integrity are critical-especially in ATE equipment and redundant backup systems requiring guaranteed fault isolation and sub-10nA off-leakage.
Technical Context
The MAX4633ESE employs a parallel N-channel/P-channel MOSFET architecture with integrated voltage-sensing comparators on each NO/NC terminal. During normal operation, it achieves low on-resistance (≤85Ω) and matched channel resistance (≤6Ω), while maintaining bidirectional conduction between COM and NO/NC pins within the supply rails.
Under fault conditions-when NO or NC exceeds V+ or V− by ~50mV-the internal sense circuitry forces the switch open and clamps COM to the appropriate supply rail via dedicated clamp FETs (N2/P2), delivering up to ±18mA of clamped output current without glitching. Fault protection extends to ±36V with ±15V supplies and ±40V with power off.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | Two independent DPST (double-pole/single-throw) analog switches |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±18V dual supply or +9V to +36V single supply-supports asymmetric rails and eliminates sequencing requirements |
| On-Resistance (max) | 85Ω at +25°C-ensures minimal signal attenuation and thermal drift in precision analog paths |
| Fault Protection | ±36V on NO/NC with ±15V supplies; ±40V with power off-prevents latch-up and damage during power-up/down or transient overvoltage |
| Off-Leakage Current (max) | 0.5nA at +25°C-preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and sample-hold circuits |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS inputs with fixed 0.8V/2.4V thresholds-operates reliably across +9V to +15V or ±15V supplies without level-shifting |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 100ns/50ns typical at ±15V-enables fast multiplexing in automated test equipment and real-time control loops |
Pinout & Package
MAX4633ESE is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package with exposed pad (JEDEC MS-012AA), rated for -55°C to +125°C operation. Pin 1 is top-left corner (notch/dot side), with pins numbered counter-clockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | COM1, COM2 | Common terminals for both DPST switches-bidirectional signal path; must remain within V− to V+ during normal operation |
| 2, 7, 12 | N.C. | No internal connection-leave unconnected; no routing or grounding required |
| 3, 6 | NO1, NO2 | Normally open switch terminals-fault-protected up to ±36V; connect to signal sources requiring overvoltage resilience |
| 4, 5 | NO3, NO4 | Second set of normally open terminals-forms second pole of each DPST switch; electrically isolated from first pole |
| 9, 16 | NO1, NO2 | Duplicate NO pins per datasheet pinout-identical function to pins 3 and 6; used for layout flexibility and current sharing |
| 10, 15 | IN1, IN2 | Digital control inputs-drive high (≥2.4V) to close corresponding DPST switch; CMOS/TTL compatible |
| 11 | V+ | Positive supply input-must be ≥+9V (single) or ≥±4.5V (dual); powers logic and clamp circuitry |
| 13 | GND | Ground reference for logic and internal translators-separate from analog signal ground; ESD diodes to V+/V− |
| 14 | V− | Negative supply input-required for dual-supply operation; sets lower rail and enables rail-to-rail analog swing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fault-protected NO/NC terminals | Withstands ±36V faults under ±15V bias and ±40V with power off-eliminates need for external TVS or series resistors in harsh environments |
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Passes signals from V− to V+ without clipping or distortion-enables full dynamic range utilization in ±12V or +24V industrial I/O stages |
| Matched on-resistance | ≤6Ω max mismatch between channels-critical for differential signal integrity and gain-matching in instrumentation amplifier front-ends |
| No power-supply sequencing | Operates safely with any supply ramp order-simplifies power management in multi-rail embedded controllers and PLC modules |
| Sub-nanoampere off-leakage | 0.5nA max at +25°C-preserves charge in high-impedance sample-and-hold capacitors and piezoelectric sensor nodes |
| Pin-compatible upgrade | Direct replacement for DG401/DG403/DG405-enables drop-in reliability enhancement in legacy ATE and avionics designs |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4632ESE | SPDT configuration (NO/NC per channel) vs. MAX4633ESE's DPST; ±25V fault rating (vs. ±36V); same package and pinout | Supports break-before-make switching and signal inversion; less suitable for isolated dual-path routing | Select when SPDT topology and lower fault margin are acceptable-and NC functionality is required for signal polarity control |
| ADG5412BRUZ | Quad SPST, ±40V fault protected, 12Ω typical RON; requires separate logic-level translation for TTL compatibility | Higher channel count but no DPST pairing; lacks integrated 0.8V/2.4V logic thresholds | Select when lower on-resistance and higher fault margin are prioritized over pin compatibility and plug-and-play logic interface |
Compared with MAX4632ESE and ADG5412BRUZ, the MAX4633ESE uniquely delivers DPST isolation with ±36V fault tolerance and native TTL/CMOS logic compatibility-making it optimal for space-constrained redundant signal paths where dual-pole coordination and zero-layout-change upgrades are essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum fault voltage the MAX4633ESE can withstand on its NO/NC pins?
The MAX4633ESE supports ±36V fault protection on NO/NC terminals when powered with ±15V supplies, and ±40V with all supplies at 0V. Exceeding these limits-even briefly-may cause permanent damage. The MAX4633ESE fault-protection circuitry actively clamps COM to the appropriate supply rail during overvoltage events, limiting output current to ±18mA without glitching.
Does the MAX4633ESE require power-supply sequencing during startup?
No, the MAX4633ESE does not require power-supply sequencing. Its internal architecture allows safe operation regardless of V+, V−, or GND ramp order. This eliminates complex power-management design in multi-rail systems and prevents latch-up during brown-out conditions-making the MAX4633ESE ideal for industrial PLCs and avionics modules with independent supply domains.
Can the MAX4633ESE be used with a single +24V supply?
Yes, the MAX4633ESE operates from a single +9V to +36V supply with V− tied to GND. At +24V, it maintains 85Ω max on-resistance, ±36V fault tolerance (relative to GND), and full TTL/CMOS logic compatibility. The MAX4633ESE's rail-to-rail signal handling preserves full 0–24V analog range, supporting industrial 24V sensor and actuator interfaces without level-shifting.
How does the MAX4633ESE differ from the MAX4631ESE and MAX4632ESE?
The MAX4633ESE implements two DPST switches (four NO terminals, two COMs), whereas MAX4631ESE offers two SPST switches and MAX4632ESE provides two SPDT switches. All share identical pinout, ±36V fault rating (except MAX4632ESE at ±25V), and rail-to-rail operation-but only the MAX4633ESE enables true isolated dual-pole switching for redundant signal paths without cross-talk.
Is the MAX4633ESE pin-compatible with industry-standard DG-series switches?
Yes, the MAX4633ESE has identical pinout and footprint to DG401, DG403, and DG405-enabling direct PCB replacement. However, only the NO/NC pins are fault-protected; COM, IN, V+, V−, and GND retain standard CMOS switch behavior. Designers must verify that system-level fault exposure is limited to NO/NC nodes to fully leverage the MAX4633ESE's protection features.
