MAX4541EKA-T

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4541EKA-T is a low-voltage, single-supply dual SPST analog switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates from a +2.7V to +12V supply with power consumption under 5µW. The device features a maximum on-resistance (RON) of 60Ω at +5V, with channel matching of 2Ω and RON flatness of 6Ω. Switching speeds are fast, with turn-on time up to 100ns and turn-off time up to 75ns. Leakage currents are limited to 10nA max at +85°C, and charge injection is guaranteed at 5pC max. It includes over 2000V ESD protection per Method 3015.7 and is housed in an SOT-23-8 package.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EKA-T' against official documentation to confirm the extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), SOT-23-8 package type, and tape-and-reel delivery format. Ensure compatibility with system voltage requirements and signal levels before procurement.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual SPST configuration is required within a compact SOT-23-8 footprint. It is appropriate for applications needing low on-resistance and fast switching under single-supply conditions ranging from 2.7V to 12V. Consider thermal derating if operating near maximum power dissipation limits.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX4541–MAX4544 family of precision dual analog switches. While the MAX4541 offers two normally open switches, other variants in the series provide normally closed or mixed configurations. The MAX4544 variant differs by offering a single-pole/double-throw structure in a smaller SOT-23-6 package.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Pin-compatible replacements include the MAX323, MAX324, and MAX324 devices. Verify electrical parameters such as on-resistance and leakage current against these alternatives to ensure functional equivalence in the target circuit.
