MAX4606CPE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4606CPE is a quad single-pole single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch housed in a 16-pin Plastic DIP package. It integrates two normally open and two normally closed switches, each featuring a maximum on-resistance of 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. Key electrical parameters include a maximum off-leakage current of 2.5nA at +85°C, turn-on time of 120ns, and turn-off time of 130ns under dual supply conditions.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Feature Summary

• Rail-to-Rail signal handling capability for full voltage range operation
• TTL/CMOS-compatible control inputs ensuring logic compatibility
• Guaranteed low on-resistance matching and flatness across channels

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Applications

• Reed relay replacement in electronic systems
• Automatic test equipment signal routing
• Audio-signal routing applications
• PBX and PABX communication systems

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for obsolescence notices, as older Maxim Integrated products may have limited availability or end-of-life status. Ensure proper storage conditions are maintained to prevent moisture damage prior to soldering.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select the MAX4606CPE when a combination of normally open and normally closed analog switching is required within a single package. Verify that the system operates within the specified temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Ensure supply voltages do not exceed absolute maximum ratings to prevent permanent damage to the internal protection diodes.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX4604/MAX4605/MAX4606 family of quad SPST CMOS analog switches manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. While sharing similar electrical characteristics and pinouts, the MAX4606 is distinct for its mixed configuration of two NO and two NC switches, unlike the MAX4604 which offers four NC switches.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same family include the MAX4604CPE and MAX4605CPE, though their switch configurations differ. For higher speed requirements, consider the MAX440, MAX441, or MAX442 series, which are characterized for frequencies up to 160MHz.
