MAX4552CSE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4552CSE is a quad, low-voltage, single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features four independently controlled switches with normally open (NO) configurations. The device supports dual power supplies ranging from ±2V to ±6V or a single supply between +2V and +12V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum on-resistance of 100Ω, an on-resistance flatness of 8Ω max, and channel-to-channel matching of 4Ω max. Off-leakage current is specified at 1nA at +25°C and 10nA at +85°C. The component provides ±15kV ESD protection per IEC 1000-4-2 and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C in the C-grade package.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CSE' corresponds to the Narrow SOIC-16 package and the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C). Confirm that the 'MAX4552' designation ensures four Normally Open switches, distinct from the MAX4551 (Normally Closed) or MAX4553 (mixed) variants. Ensure sourcing channels provide valid RoHS compliance documentation as indicated by the '+' suffix in related part numbers.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring quad SPST switching with low leakage and high ESD robustness. The MAX4552 is appropriate for applications needing Normally Open states at rest. Consider the 100Ω max on-resistance and 1µA supply current for power-sensitive designs. Verify that the single-supply operation down to +2.7V meets the system's minimum voltage requirements.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX4552 belongs to the MAX4551/MAX4552/MAX4553 family of CMOS analog switches. This series is characterized by its low-voltage operation and integrated ESD protection. The MAX4552 specifically differentiates itself by providing four Normally Open switches, whereas the MAX4551 offers four Normally Closed switches, and the MAX4553 combines two of each. All three share identical pinouts and electrical characteristics regarding resistance and speed.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The datasheet explicitly lists the DG211, DG212, and DG213 as pin-compatible industry-standard alternatives. When replacing these legacy parts, verify that the new design accommodates the MAX4552's specific ESD protection mechanism involving internal SCRs, which may require current limiting on connected sources to ensure proper turn-off after an event.
