MAX4542EUA+

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4542EUA+ is a precision, dual analog switch designed for single-supply operation from +2.7V to +12V. It features two normally closed (NC) switches within an 8-pin µMAX package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum on-resistance of 60Ω and a maximum leakage current of 100pA. The device operates with a positive supply current of 1µA maximum and supports switching speeds with turn-on times up to 100ns and turn-off times up to 75ns at +5V. It provides over 2000V ESD protection per Method 3015.7 and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the component against official manufacturer documentation to confirm authenticity and specifications. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature range. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit products. Check for any specific handling requirements during storage and assembly.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual normally closed analog switch is required for low-voltage applications. Consider the 60Ω on-resistance and 100pA leakage limits for signal integrity. Verify that the logic input levels are compatible with the system's control voltage. Evaluate the thermal performance within the specified operating temperature range.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX4541–MAX4544 family of low-voltage, single-supply analog switches. While other variants in the series offer different switch configurations such as normally open or SPDT, the MAX4542 specifically provides dual normally closed functionality. It shares common electrical characteristics with its siblings but differs in internal switch topology.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include the MAX4541ESA+ and MAX4543ESA+, which share the SOIC-8 package and similar electrical profiles. Note that these alternatives feature normally open or mixed switch states rather than the dual normally closed configuration of the MAX4542.
