Product details
Overview
MAX4655ESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a normally closed (NC), single-pole/single-throw (SPST), high-current CMOS analog switch rated for ±4.5V to ±20V dual-supply or +9V to +40V single-supply operation, with 10Ω max on-resistance at ±15V, 300mA continuous current handling, and rail-to-rail signal capability - used in relay replacement, audio routing, and redundant power-path switching.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4655ESA+ datasheet, MAX4655ESA+ pinout, MAX4655ESA+ application, or MAX4655ESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include NC logic state, 300mA continuous current rating, 10Ω on-resistance flatness ≤1Ω, -40°C to +85°C temperature range, and SO-8 package compatibility with legacy DG417 layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4655ESA+ implements a parallel N-channel/P-channel MOSFET switch architecture with proprietary body-drive sensing to eliminate voltage-drop limitations across the channel, enabling full rail-to-rail conduction without parasitic diode turn-on. It operates with TTL/CMOS-compatible digital control and requires no VL bias supply.
Its dual-supply flexibility supports asymmetrical configurations (e.g., +12V/–5V), and its low 1nA off-leakage at +25°C and 210MHz –3dB bandwidth support precision, high-frequency analog signal routing in test equipment and communication systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 10Ω max at ±15V supplies - ensures minimal insertion loss and voltage drop under 300mA load. |
| Continuous Current | ±300mA - supports high-power analog path switching without external buffering. |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±20V (dual); +9V to +40V (single) - enables wide dynamic range in industrial and telecom power domains. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1nA max at TA = +25°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor or precision measurement paths. |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 110ns / 75ns typical - suitable for fast-switching applications like multiplexed test instrumentation. |
| RON Flatness | 1Ω max over full signal range - maintains consistent gain and linearity across rail-to-rail inputs. |
| -3dB Bandwidth | 210MHz - supports video, broadband, and high-speed data routing without attenuation. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4655ESA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with exposed paddle option not applicable to the ESA+ variant. Pin 1 is COM (analog common terminal), Pin 3 is GND, Pin 4 is V+, Pin 6 is IN (TTL/CMOS-compatible digital control input), Pin 7 is V-, and Pin 8 is NC (normally closed analog terminal). Pins 2 and 5 are no-connect.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - COM | Analog Switch Common | Shared connection point for bidirectional analog signal routing; must be connected to load or source. |
| 2, 5 - N.C. | No Internal Connection | Unbonded pins; must remain unconnected per design to avoid parasitic coupling. |
| 3 - GND | Ground Reference | System ground reference for digital logic and internal bias circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB tie. |
| 4 - V+ | Positive Supply Input | Accepts +9V to +40V (single) or up to +20V (dual); powers P-channel switch element and control logic. |
| 6 - IN | Digital Control Input | TTL/CMOS-compatible logic input: logic low (≤0.8V) closes switch (COM↔NC); logic high (≥2.4V) opens it. |
| 7 - V- | Negative Supply Input | Accepts –4.5V to –20V (dual); powers N-channel switch element and enables rail-to-rail analog swing. |
| 8 - NC | Normally Closed Terminal | Analog path closed to COM when IN = low; open when IN = high - defines default fail-safe state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-current SPST switching | 300mA continuous, 400mA peak - replaces electromechanical relays in high-cycle industrial controls. |
| No VL supply required | Self-biased logic interface - eliminates need for auxiliary voltage rail, simplifying power architecture. |
| Rail-to-rail analog conduction | VCOM swings from V– to V+ - supports full-range signal transmission in ±15V op-amp or DAC interfaces. |
| Low RON flatness | ≤1Ω variation across signal range - ensures distortion-free audio and precision measurement performance. |
| Pin compatibility with DG417 | Identical SO-8 footprint and function - enables drop-in upgrade from legacy analog switches with no PCB redesign. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4656ESA+ | NO (normally open) configuration; otherwise identical electrical specs and pinout. | Requires active-high enable for default-open behavior - unsuitable where fail-safe closure is mandatory. | Select MAX4656ESA+ only when system logic demands default-open state and timing-critical startup isolation. |
| DG417DN-E3 | Higher 35Ω on-resistance, lower 100mA continuous current, same SO-8 pinout and NC function. | Limited to low-power signal routing; cannot sustain 300mA loads or match 210MHz bandwidth. | Choose DG417DN-E3 only for cost-sensitive, low-current legacy upgrades where performance margin is acceptable. |
Compared with MAX4656ESA+, the MAX4655ESA+ provides fail-safe continuity critical in backup systems; compared with DG417DN-E3, it delivers 3× higher current capacity and 2× wider bandwidth while retaining drop-in compatibility - making it optimal for next-generation high-reliability analog switching.

FAQ
What is the logic polarity of the MAX4655ESA+ control input?
The MAX4655ESA+ features normally closed (NC) operation: a logic-low input (≤0.8V) closes the COM–NC path, while a logic-high input (≥2.4V) opens it. This inverse logic behavior is intrinsic to the MAX4655ESA+ design and matches DG417 pin-for-pin functionality, enabling direct substitution in fail-safe circuits where continuity must be maintained during control signal loss or reset.
Can the MAX4655ESA+ operate from a single +12V supply?
Yes, the MAX4655ESA+ supports single-supply operation from +9V to +40V. When powered from +12V, V– must be tied to ground (0V), and the analog signal range extends from 0V to +12V. On-resistance increases slightly versus dual-supply operation (e.g., 22Ω max at +12V vs. 10Ω max at ±15V), but 300mA continuous current and rail-to-rail conduction remain fully functional within this configuration.
Does the MAX4655ESA+ require an external VL bias voltage?
No, the MAX4655ESA+ does not require a VL pin or auxiliary bias supply. Its TTL/CMOS-compatible IN input operates directly from the main V+ and GND (or V–) rails, eliminating the need for level-shifting circuitry. This simplifies board layout and reduces component count - a key advantage over older analog switches that mandate separate logic-supply references.
What is the maximum allowable voltage difference between V+ and V– for the MAX4655ESA+?
The MAX4655ESA+ specifies a maximum V+ to V– differential of 44V. For example, valid combinations include +20V/–20V (40V total), +30V/–10V (40V), or +40V/0V (40V). Exceeding 44V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings, and operation above this limit is not guaranteed even if individual rail voltages remain within ±20V bounds.
How does the MAX4655ESA+ achieve 300mA continuous current capability?
The MAX4655ESA+ achieves 300mA continuous current through a patented body-drive sensing technique that actively controls the N-channel MOSFET's bulk terminal, preventing parasitic diode conduction and thermal runaway. Unlike conventional analog switches limited by ~600mV channel drop, the MAX4655ESA+ sustains full-rated current across the entire V+ to V– range - constrained only by package power dissipation (471mW for SO-8) and absolute maximum ratings.
