MAX4602CWE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4602CWE is a quad single-pole single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch housed in a 16-pin Wide SO package. It features a maximum on-resistance of 2.5Ω with guaranteed channel matching and flatness of 0.5Ω. The device supports rail-to-rail signal handling and operates from a single supply of +4.5V to +36V or dual supplies of ±4.5V to ±20V. Electrical characteristics include a maximum off-leakage current of 2.5nA at +85°C, turn-on time of 250ns, and turn-off time of 350ns. Digital inputs are TTL/CMOS compatible.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Feature Summary

• Four normally open SPST switches handle rail-to-rail analog signals
• Low on-resistance with guaranteed matching and flatness over the signal range
• TTL/CMOS-compatible control logic for direct interface compatibility
• High ESD protection exceeding 2000V per Method 3015.7

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Applications

• Reed relay replacement
• Automatic test equipment
• PBX and PABX systems
• Audio-signal routing
• Avionics

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' indicates the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C when sourcing replacements. Confirm the 'W' designation corresponds to the 16-pin Wide SOIC package dimensions. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to the assembly process. Cross-reference the manufacturer's ordering information to validate availability and lead times for this specific variant.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select the MAX4602CWE when four independent normally open channels are required. Choose this part for applications needing low distortion and high signal integrity due to its matched on-resistance. Verify that the operating environment falls within the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range. Ensure the system voltage does not exceed the specified single or dual supply limits.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX4601/MAX4602/MAX4603 family of quad analog switches. While the MAX4601 offers normally closed switches and the MAX4603 provides a mixed configuration, the MAX4602 specifically provides four normally open switches. All variants share identical electrical performance regarding on-resistance, leakage, and switching speeds.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the MAX4602EWE for an extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Other family members like the MAX4601CWE or MAX4603CWE offer different switch states but maintain similar electrical characteristics.
