MAX4516CSA

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4516CSA 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 features very low on-resistance, guaranteed at 20Ω with ±5V supplies. The device handles rail-to-rail analog signals with maximum off-leakage current of 1nA at +25°C and 20nA at +85°C. It exhibits fast switching speeds with turn-on time of 100ns and turn-off time of 75ns. The digital input is CMOS compatible with ±5V supplies. This specific part number utilizes an 8-pin SOIC package and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix CSA against official documentation to confirm the 8-pin SOIC package and commercial temperature range. Ensure supply voltages remain within the specified ±1V to ±6V limits during operation. Check for pinout compatibility if replacing existing components in legacy designs.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when a normally open SPST switch is required for dual-supply applications. Consider the MAX4517 if a normally closed configuration is needed instead. For single-supply operations, evaluate the pin-compatible MAX4514 or MAX4515 alternatives to ensure proper logic level thresholds are met.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX4516 belongs to the Maxim Integrated CMOS analog switch family designed for low-voltage dual-supply environments. It shares architectural similarities with the MAX4517, differing primarily in its default switch state. The series targets portable and battery-powered electronics requiring efficient signal path management.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers FAQ

Is the MAX4516CSA TTL compatible?

No, the digital inputs are CMOS compatible but not TTL compatible. Logic levels must be referenced to V+.

What is the default state of the MAX4516 switch?

The MAX4516 is a normally open (NO) switch, whereas the MAX4517 is normally closed (NC).

How does the logic threshold behave with varying supply voltages?

The logic-level threshold is referenced to V+. At V+ = +2V, the threshold is approximately 0.6V, while it shifts between -1.5V and -3.5V for V+ levels between +3V and +6V.
