Product details
Overview
MAX4666ESE+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad SPST analog switch IC with two normally closed (NC) and two normally open (NO) channels, guaranteeing break-before-make switching, 5Ω max on-resistance, ±4.5V to ±20V dual-supply or +4.5V to +36V single-supply operation, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling - ideal for reed relay replacement in PBX systems and test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4666ESE+ datasheet, MAX4666ESE+ pinout, MAX4666ESE+ application, or MAX4666ESE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed break-before-make timing (10–125 ns), channel-matched on-resistance (≤0.5Ω), low off-leakage (≤0.5nA at +85°C), TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds, and SOIC-16 packaging for space-constrained industrial signal routing.
Technical Context
The MAX4666ESE+ implements a CMOS-based quad SPST architecture with independent control of two NC and two NO switches, each featuring matched RON and flat RON over its full signal range (±10V). Its break-before-make timing is guaranteed across temperature and supply voltage, preventing momentary shorting during state transitions.
Dual-supply operation (±4.5V to ±20V) enables true bipolar signal switching, while single-supply mode (+4.5V to +36V) supports industrial DC-powered systems. Logic inputs are referenced to VL (typically +5V), with fixed TTL/CMOS thresholds (0.8V/2.4V), ensuring compatibility without level-shifting circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 5Ω max - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision analog paths |
| RON Match Between Channels | 0.5Ω max - critical for matched gain/attenuation in differential or multi-channel routing |
| Break-Before-Make Delay | 10–125 ns - guarantees no overlap between NC and NO conduction, eliminating signal shorts |
| Off-Leakage Current | 0.5nA max at +85°C - preserves high-impedance node integrity in sensor front-ends and sample-hold circuits |
| Supply Range | +4.5V to +36V (single) or ±4.5V to ±20V (dual) - supports wide-range industrial, avionics, and test instrumentation rails |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS thresholds (0.8V/2.4V) - direct interface with microcontrollers and FPGAs without external buffers |
| Signal Range | Rail-to-rail - passes full V− to V+ analog signals without clipping or distortion |
Pinout & Package
MAX4666ESE+ is housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC (SOICN) package, 3.9mm width, 1.75mm height, with standard 0.050" pitch and gull-wing leads suitable for automated assembly and IPC Class 2/3 reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8, 9, 16 | IN1–IN4 | Digital control inputs - active-high logic determines NO/NC state per channel |
| 2, 7, 10, 15 | COM1–COM4 | Analog common terminals - bidirectional signal path shared by NO and NC contacts |
| 3, 6 | NC1, NC2 | Normally closed analog terminals - conduct when corresponding IN = 0V |
| 11, 14 | NO3, NO4 | Normally open analog terminals - conduct when corresponding IN = logic high |
| 4 | V− | Negative analog supply - tied to GND in single-supply configurations |
| 5 | GND | Digital ground reference - separate from analog supplies but internally connected to substrate |
| 12 | VL | Logic supply input - powers internal level-shifters; typically +5V, independent of analog rails |
| 13 | V+ | Positive analog supply - sets upper limit of rail-to-rail signal range |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1412BRUZ | 4-channel, 1.8Ω RON, ±15V dual-supply only, no break-before-make guarantee | Better RON but lacks guaranteed break-before-make - unsuitable where short prevention is mandatory | Select ADG1412BRUZ only if lowest on-resistance is prioritized over switching safety |
| TS5A3157DCUR | Single-channel, 0.75Ω RON, +1.65V to +5.5V supply, no dual-supply support | Lower voltage, single-switch topology - requires four devices to match MAX4666ESE+ channel count | Choose TS5A3157DCUR for battery-powered, low-voltage signal routing where space allows discrete channel replication |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed break-before-make timing specification for MAX4666ESE+?
The MAX4666ESE+ guarantees a break-before-make time delay of 10ns minimum to 125ns maximum under all operating conditions (−40°C to +85°C, ±4.5V to ±20V or +4.5V to +36V). This parameter is tested and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for dual-supply operation and ensures no overlap between NC and NO conduction states during switching - a critical requirement for MAX4666ESE+ in fault-tolerant signal routing applications.
Can MAX4666ESE+ operate from a single +5V supply?
No, MAX4666ESE+ cannot operate from a single +5V supply. Its absolute minimum single-supply voltage is +4.5V, but functional operation requires sufficient headroom for rail-to-rail analog signal swing and logic threshold margins. The datasheet specifies valid single-supply operation from +4.5V to +36V, with characterization performed at +12V and +24V. At +5V, performance parameters such as RON, leakage, and switching speed fall outside guaranteed limits - so MAX4666ESE+ must be used at ≥+4.5V with appropriate derating.
What is the role of the VL pin on MAX4666ESE+ and can it be tied to V+?
VL is the logic supply input for MAX4666ESE+, powering internal level-shifters and digital control circuitry. It must be connected to a stable +5V source (or +3.3V with verification) and must not be tied directly to V+. Doing so risks exceeding the VL-to-GND absolute maximum rating (V+ + 0.3V) and may damage the logic interface. The datasheet specifies VL = +5V typical, independent of analog supply rails - ensuring TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (0.8V/2.4V) regardless of V+/V− levels. Correct VL biasing is essential for reliable MAX4666ESE+ operation across all supply configurations.
Does MAX4666ESE+ support bidirectional analog signal flow?
Yes, MAX4666ESE+ fully supports bidirectional analog signal flow on all COM–NO and COM–NC paths. Each switch is constructed using symmetrical CMOS transmission gates, with no intrinsic directionality. Signal polarity, amplitude, and direction are unrestricted within the device's rated voltage range (V− to V+), and parameters like RON, leakage, and capacitance are identical regardless of current direction - confirmed in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics tables for both sourcing and sinking conditions. This bidirectional capability is fundamental to MAX4666ESE+'s use in audio routing, sensor interfacing, and multiplexer topologies.
How does the on-resistance flatness specification impact audio applications using MAX4666ESE+?
The MAX4666ESE+ guarantees on-resistance flatness of ≤0.5Ω over its full specified signal range (±10V), meaning RON varies by no more than 0.5Ω as the analog signal swings from V− to V+. In audio applications, this minimizes harmonic distortion and maintains consistent gain across the entire audio band (20Hz–20kHz), especially critical in line-level and headphone driver paths. Unlike switches with >2Ω flatness, the MAX4666ESE+ avoids dynamic compression or frequency-dependent insertion loss - directly contributing to THD+N <0.01% in verified audio signal routing designs using MAX4666ESE+.
