MAX4600EWE+

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4600EWE+ is a dual single-pole single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand, housed in a 16-pin Wide Small Outline (SO) package. It features one normally closed and one normally open switch channel with a maximum on-resistance of 1.25Ω. The device operates from +4.5V to +36V single supplies or ±4.5V to ±20V dual supplies. Key electrical parameters include an on-resistance match of 0.25Ω max, flatness of 0.3Ω max, turn-on time of 150ns, and turn-off time of 200ns.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EWE+' against official documentation to confirm the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and the 16-pin Wide SO package configuration. Ensure that the ordering information matches the exact manufacturer part number to avoid discrepancies in pinout or electrical characteristics.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when a mixed configuration of normally open and normally closed switches is required within a single package. Consider the 1.25Ω on-resistance and 200mA continuous current limits for load requirements. Verify that the operating voltage range aligns with the system's power supply architecture.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX4580/MAX4590/MAX4600 family of dual SPST CMOS analog switches. While sharing identical electrical specifications and pinouts, the MAX4600 uniquely combines one normally closed and one normally open switch, distinguishing it from the all-normally-closed MAX4580 and all-normally-open MAX4590 variants.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include the MAX4600CAE+ and MAX4600CPE+. These alternatives share identical electrical performance but differ in the specified operating temperature range and physical package type.
