MAX4553EEE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4553EEE is a quad, low-voltage, single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features two normally closed and two normally open switches within a 16-pin QSOP package. The device operates with 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. 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 supports TTL/CMOS logic thresholds.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'EEE' corresponds to the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range and 16-pin QSOP package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in the manufacturer's documentation. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the QSOP-16 form factor during integration planning.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select the MAX4553EEE when a mix of normally open and normally closed switches is required within a single package. This model is suitable for applications demanding low leakage current and high ESD robustness. Verify that the system voltage requirements fall within the ±2V to ±6V dual or +2V to +12V single supply limits to ensure optimal performance.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX4553EEE belongs to the MAX4551/MAX4552/MAX4553 family of quad SPST analog switches. While the MAX4551 contains four normally closed switches and the MAX4552 contains four normally open switches, the MAX4553 combines two of each type. All variants share identical pinouts and electrical characteristics regarding resistance and speed.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The datasheet notes pin-compatible alternatives including industry-standard DG211/DG212/DG213 devices. Verify functional equivalence regarding on-resistance and switching speeds before substitution.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers FAQ

What is the break-before-make time delay for the MAX4553?

For the MAX4553, the break-before-make time delay is typically 52ns with a maximum of 0ns under dual supply conditions (V+ = 5V, V- = -5V).

How does the MAX4553 handle ESD events?

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

Is the MAX4553 compatible with standard TTL logic levels?

Yes, the digital inputs have +0.8V and +2.4V logic thresholds, ensuring TTL/CMOS compatibility when using ±5V or a single +5V supply.
