MAX4602EAE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4602EAE 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 channel-to-channel match and flatness of 0.5Ω over the signal range. Key electrical parameters include a turn-on time of 160ns, turn-off time of 170ns, charge injection of 20pC, and off-leakage current of 0.5nA at +85°C. It supports continuous currents up to 200mA and handles rail-to-rail analog signals within a -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure the component source is authorized to guarantee authenticity and traceability. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by assembly standards. Confirm pinout alignment with existing PCB layouts before procurement.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this part when low distortion and high linearity are critical due to its matched on-resistance characteristics. Consider the 2.5Ω max on-resistance for voltage drop limitations in high-current paths. Verify that the 200mA continuous current rating meets load requirements. Evaluate the 20pC charge injection impact on precision signal integrity.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX4601/MAX4602/MAX4603 family of quad analog switches. The MAX4602 variant specifically provides four normally open switches, distinguishing it from the MAX4601 (normally closed) and MAX4603 (mixed configuration). All variants share identical electrical performance specifications and pinouts.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same family include the MAX4601CAE/EAE and MAX4603CAE/EAE, which offer different switch states but identical electrical parameters. Cross-vendor replacements require verification of on-resistance, leakage current, and package dimensions.
