MAX4602EPE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4602EPE is a quad SPST CMOS analog switch in a 16-pin Plastic DIP package. It features a maximum on-resistance of 2.5Ω with guaranteed matching and flatness of 0.5Ω max. The device handles rail-to-rail analog signals and operates from single supplies of +4.5V to +36V or dual supplies of ±4.5V to ±20V. Key electrical parameters include a turn-on time of 250ns, turn-off time of 350ns, charge injection of 120pC, and off-leakage current of 2.5nA max at +85°C. It offers TTL/CMOS-compatible control inputs and ESD protection exceeding 2000V.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EPE' corresponds to the -40°C to +85°C temperature range and 16-pin Plastic DIP package configuration. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance standards if required by the manufacturing process. Ensure proper power-supply sequencing during installation to prevent latch-up or damage to the internal CMOS structures.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this part when a normally open quad SPST configuration is required. The E-grade variant provides extended industrial temperature coverage compared to C-grade options. Consider the 16-PDIP package for through-hole prototyping or high-reliability manual assembly requirements where surface-mount technology is not feasible.

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 combines both types, the MAX4602 specifically provides four normally open channels. All variants share identical electrical characteristics regarding resistance, speed, and supply voltage ranges.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers FAQ

What is the maximum continuous current rating for the analog switches?

The maximum continuous current for COM_, NO_, or NC_ pins is ±200mA.

How does the device handle overvoltage conditions on supply pins?

Internal diodes clamp signals exceeding V+ or V-. External blocking diodes are recommended if power-supply sequencing cannot be guaranteed.

What is the typical crosstalk performance at 1MHz?

The crosstalk is typically -59dB at 1MHz under dual supply conditions.
