MAX4516CPA

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4516CPA is a single-pole/single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates with dual supplies ranging from ±1V to ±6V and handles rail-to-rail analog signals. The device features very low on-resistance, guaranteed at 20Ω with ±5V supplies, and exhibits low off-leakage current of 1nA at +25°C. It offers fast switching speeds with a turn-on time of 100ns and turn-off time of 75ns. The digital input is CMOS compatible with ±5V supplies. This specific part is housed in an 8-pin Plastic DIP package and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the component status as the MAX4516 series may be discontinued or subject to obsolescence notices. Confirm the specific suffix CPA corresponds to the 8-pin Plastic DIP package and the 0°C to +70°C industrial temperature range. Ensure that the sourcing channel provides original manufacturer documentation to validate authenticity and traceability before integration into designs.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when a normally open SPST switch is required for dual-supply applications. It is suitable for low-voltage data acquisition where rail-to-rail signal handling is necessary. Consider the MAX4517 if a normally closed configuration is preferred instead. For single-supply operations, evaluate pin-compatible alternatives like the MAX4514/MAX4515 to ensure proper logic level compatibility.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX4516CPA belongs to the MAX4516/MAX4517 family of dual-supply, low-on-resistance CMOS analog switches. These devices are designed for applications requiring high performance in low-voltage environments. The CP suffix indicates the commercial temperature grade, while the A denotes the PDIP package style. This family complements other Maxim Integrated switch solutions for various signal routing needs.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

For a normally closed alternative, consider the MAX4517CPA. For single-supply applications, the MAX4514CPA or MAX4515CPA are pin-compatible options. Verify that any substitute maintains the required ±1V to ±6V dual-supply operating range and SPST configuration.
