MAX4526ESA

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4526ESA is a phase-reversal analog switch from the MAX4526/MAX4527 series, optimized for high-speed applications. It operates from single +4.5V to +36V or dual ±4.5V to ±18V supplies. The device features two SPDT switches with a maximum on-resistance of 175Ω and an on-resistance match of 8Ω. Key electrical parameters include a maximum leakage current of 0.5nA at +25°C, transition time of 95ns, and break-before-make delay of 65ns. It supports rail-to-rail signal handling and offers 2kV ESD protection.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ESA' confirms the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range and SOIC-8 package. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure design accounts for absolute maximum ratings to prevent permanent damage during operation.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select the MAX4526 over the MAX4527 variant when higher speed performance is required, as the MAX4526 features faster logic-level translators and switch drivers. Verify that the 175Ω maximum on-resistance meets system requirements for signal integrity. Ensure the operating voltage range aligns with the available single or dual power supplies in the target application.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX4526ESA belongs to the MAX4526/MAX4527 family of CMOS analog switches designed for phase-reversal applications. Unlike conventional switches wired in a bridge, this integrated solution optimizes both DC and AC symmetry within a small 8-pin footprint. It simplifies board layout by isolating logic signals from analog paths while maintaining excellent isolation between signal channels.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The MAX4527ESA is a compatible alternative within the same family but is optimized for lower power consumption rather than high-speed performance. Designers requiring slower switching speeds may consider this variant without modifying the pinout or basic circuit topology.
