MAX4541ESA-T

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4541ESA-T is a precision, dual analog switch designed for single-supply operation from +2.7V to +12V. It features two normally open (NO) switches in an 8-pin SO package with an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum on-resistance of 60Ω and a maximum charge injection of 5pC. The device offers fast switching speeds with a turn-on time of up to 150ns and a turn-off time of up to 100ns. Power consumption is low at 5µW, making it suitable for battery-powered applications.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'T' indicates tape and reel packaging when sourcing this component. Confirm that the 'E' suffix corresponds to the extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Ensure compatibility with standard surface-mount assembly processes for the 8-lead SOIC package format.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select the MAX4541 variant specifically for dual normally open switch requirements. Consider the MAX4542 if normally closed contacts are needed, or the MAX4543/MAX4544 for SPDT configurations. Verify that the 60Ω maximum on-resistance meets the signal integrity requirements of the target application circuit.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX4541–MAX4544 family of low-voltage, single-supply analog switches manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. The family shares common electrical specifications but differs in switch configuration and available package types such as SOT23-8, µMAX, TDFN, and Plastic DIP.
