MAX4601CPE+

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4601CPE+ is a quad single-pole single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch housed in a 16-pin Plastic DIP package. It features a maximum on-resistance of 2.5Ω with guaranteed matching and flatness of 0.5Ω over the signal range. The device supports single supplies from +4.5V to +36V or dual supplies from ±4.5V to ±20V, handling rail-to-rail analog signals. Key electrical parameters include a maximum off-leakage current of 2.5nA at +85°C, turn-on time of 250ns, and turn-off time of 350ns. It operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CPE+' corresponds to the 0°C to +70°C temperature range and 16-pin Plastic DIP package configuration. Confirm that the component meets RoHS standards as indicated by the '+' designation. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact manufacturer specifications before procurement to avoid functional mismatches regarding switch polarity or operating conditions.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select the MAX4601CPE+ when four normally closed switches are required for low-distortion signal routing. This model is suitable for replacing mechanical relays where board space and reliability are critical constraints. Verify that the application requires single-pole single-throw topology and can accommodate the specified supply voltage ranges without exceeding absolute maximum ratings.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX4601CPE+ belongs to the MAX4601/MAX4602/MAX4603 family of quad analog switches manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. While the MAX4601 provides four normally closed switches, the MAX4602 offers four normally open switches, and the MAX4603 combines two of each. All variants share identical electrical characteristics and pinouts, differing only in internal switch logic state.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same package and specification include the MAX4601EPE for extended temperature ranges (-40°C to +85°C). Other compatible parts in the series are the MAX4602CPE+ (normally open) and MAX4603CPE+ (mixed NC/NO), provided the switch logic polarity aligns with the circuit design requirements.
