MAX4523EPE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4523EPE is a quad, low-voltage, single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features two normally closed and two normally open switches within a 16-pin Plastic DIP package. The device operates with dual supplies from ±2V to ±6V or a single supply between +2V and +12V. Key electrical parameters include an on-resistance of up to 100Ω at ±5V supplies, an on-resistance match of 10Ω maximum, and off-leakage current of 1nA at +25°C. Turn-on time is typically 80ns and turn-off time is typically 30ns under standard test conditions.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EPE' corresponds to the -40°C to +85°C temperature range and 16-pin Plastic DIP package configuration. Confirm that the ordering information matches the official Maxim Integrated datasheet revision history to ensure component authenticity and correct pinout assignment for the MAX4523 variant.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when mixed normally open and normally closed switching functions are required in a single package. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the absolute maximum ratings, particularly the differential voltage between V+ and V-, which must remain below 13.0V to prevent damage during operation.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX452x family of quad SPST analog switches. It shares the same physical footprint and basic electrical characteristics as the MAX4521 (all NC) and MAX4522 (all NO), differing primarily in the internal configuration of the four switch channels. The EPE designation specifically identifies the industrial temperature grade and through-hole packaging style.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers FAQ

What is the break-before-make time delay for the MAX4523?

The break-before-make time delay is typically 52ns with a maximum of 0ns under specific test conditions involving ±5.5V supplies.

How does the MAX4523 handle logic thresholds at different supply voltages?

At ±5V or single +5V supplies, the logic thresholds are TTL/CMOS compatible. As V+ increases toward +12V, the threshold level rises slightly but remains compatible with CMOS outputs.

What is the typical charge injection value for this device?

The typical charge injection is 15 pC when measured with a load capacitance of 1nF and zero source resistance.
