MAX4602CAE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4602CAE is a quad, single-pole single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch featuring four normally open channels. It operates from a single supply of +4.5V to +36V or dual supplies of ±4.5V to ±20V. The device guarantees a maximum on-resistance of 2.5Ω with a match and flatness of 0.5Ω over the signal range. Logic inputs are TTL/CMOS compatible with thresholds at 0.8V and 2.4V. It handles rail-to-rail analog signals with an off-leakage current of 2.5nA maximum at +85°C. The component is housed in a 16-pin SSOP package and functions within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CAE' to confirm the commercial temperature range and SSOP package type. Ensure the source document matches the manufacturer's official datasheet for the MAX4602 series. Confirm that the ordering information aligns with the intended application requirements before finalizing procurement.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this part when a quad SPST normally open switch is required. Compare against MAX4601 (normally closed) and MAX4603 (mixed NC/NO) if different switching states are needed. Verify that the 2.5Ω on-resistance meets the system's voltage drop requirements and that the 0°C to +70°C operating range covers the environmental conditions.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX4601/MAX4602/MAX4603 family of CMOS analog switches manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. The MAX4602 variant specifically provides four normally open switches, distinguishing it from the MAX4601 which offers normally closed switches and the MAX4603 which combines both types.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

MAX4602EAE provides the same functionality but supports an extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers FAQ

What is the difference between the MAX4602 and MAX4601?

The MAX4602 contains four normally open (NO) switches, whereas the MAX4601 contains four normally closed (NC) switches.

How does the MAX4602 handle analog signals?

It supports rail-to-rail analog signals, allowing the common terminal to swing from the negative supply to the positive supply.

Is the MAX4602 compatible with standard logic families?

Yes, it features TTL/CMOS-compatible control inputs with defined logic thresholds of 0.8V and 2.4V.
