MAX4552EEE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4552EEE is a quad, low-voltage, single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It features four independently controlled switches with normally open (NO) contacts. The device operates on dual supplies ranging from ±2V to ±6V or a single supply between +2V and +12V, with full specification for single +2.7V operation. On-resistance is matched between channels to a maximum of 4Ω and remains flat within 8Ω over the signal range. It provides ±15kV ESD protection per IEC 1000-4-2 and handles Rail-to-Rail analog signals. The component is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'EEE' corresponds to the 16-pin QSOP package and the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Confirm that the component meets the required RoHS compliance status for your assembly process. Ensure the source documentation explicitly lists the MAX4552EEE variant to avoid confusion with the commercial grade or alternative package types.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this part when designing circuits requiring normally open SPST switching behavior. It is suitable for applications needing low power consumption below 1µW and high off-isolation. Consider the 4Ω channel matching and 8Ω resistance flatness for precision signal paths. Verify that the input logic thresholds align with the system's voltage levels, particularly if operating near the minimum supply voltage.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX455x family of low-voltage analog switches. The MAX4552 variant specifically utilizes four normally open switches, distinguishing it from the MAX4551 which uses normally closed switches and the MAX4553 which combines both types. All variants share identical pinouts and electrical characteristics regarding on-resistance and ESD protection capabilities.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The datasheet confirms pin compatibility with the DG211, DG212, and DG213 series. Designers replacing these legacy parts should verify that the replacement switch meets the specific on-resistance and leakage current requirements of the original design.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers FAQ

How does the MAX4552 handle ESD events?

The device incorporates bidirectional SCRs on the NC/NO pins that turn on during ESD strikes to bypass surge current to ground, providing ±15kV protection per IEC 1000-4-2.

What is the difference between the MAX4551 and MAX4552?

The MAX4551 contains four normally closed (NC) switches, whereas the MAX4552 contains four normally open (NO) switches. Both share the same package and electrical specifications.

Can the MAX4552 operate with a single supply?

Yes, the switches can operate with a single supply between +2V and +12V by connecting the V- pin to GND. They are fully specified for single +2.7V operation.
