MAX4552EPE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4552EPE is a quad, low-voltage, single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features four normally open (NO) switches with ±15kV ESD protection per IEC 1000-4-2. The device operates on dual supplies from ±2V to ±6V or a single supply between +2V and +12V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum on-resistance of 120Ω, an on-resistance flatness of 8Ω max, and channel-to-channel matching of 4Ω max. Supply current is typically 1µA at ±5V. The package is a 16-pin Plastic DIP.

• Test equipment
• Avionics
• Audio signal routing

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'EPE' corresponds to the -40°C to +85°C temperature range and 16-Pin Plastic DIP package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in the manufacturer's documentation. Ensure the source document matches the official Maxim Integrated datasheet for the MAX4551/MAX4552/MAX4553 family to validate pinout and absolute maximum ratings.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select the MAX4552EPE when four normally open analog switches are required within a low-voltage system. This component is suitable for applications demanding high ESD immunity and rail-to-rail signal integrity. Verify that the operating voltage range of ±2V to ±6V (dual) or +2V to +12V (single) aligns with the system power architecture. Consider the 16-PDIP package constraints for PCB layout and thermal dissipation requirements.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX4552EPE belongs to the MAX4551/MAX4552/MAX4553 family of quad, low-voltage SPST analog switches. While the MAX4551 provides four normally closed switches and the MAX4553 offers a mix of two NC and two NO switches, the MAX4552 specifically provides four normally open switches. All three variants share identical pinouts and electrical characteristics except for the default switch state.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The datasheet notes pin compatibility with industry-standard DG211/DG212/DG213 devices. Designers replacing these legacy components should verify that the replacement meets the specific ESD protection levels and on-resistance specifications required for the application.
