MAX4606ESE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4606ESE is a quad single-pole single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch featuring two normally open and two normally closed 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 5Ω with a match between channels of 0.5Ω max and flatness of 0.5Ω max over the signal range. It handles Rail-to-Rail analog signals, offers off-leakage current of 2.5nA max at +85°C, and provides ESD protection exceeding 2000V per Method 3015.7. TTL/CMOS-compatible control inputs ensure logic compatibility.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Feature Summary

• Rail-to-Rail signal handling capability for wide dynamic range applications

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' confirms the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating and 'SE' indicates the 16-pin Narrow SOIC package. Confirm RoHS compliance status as required by project specifications. Ensure ordering documentation matches the exact part number to avoid confusion with the MAX4604 or MAX4605 variants which have different internal switch configurations.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when a mixed configuration of normally open and normally closed switches is required within a single package. It is suitable for applications demanding low distortion and high reliability compared to mechanical relays. Verify that the required signal voltage range falls within the supported single or dual supply limits and that the logic interface aligns with the TTL/CMOS thresholds.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX4604/MAX4605/MAX4606 family of quad SPST CMOS analog switches. While sharing similar electrical characteristics and packaging, the MAX4606 is distinct due to its hybrid configuration of two normally open and two normally closed switches, unlike the MAX4604 (all NC) or MAX4605 (all NO).

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes include the MAX4604ESE and MAX4605ESE, provided the circuit design accommodates their respective all-Normally Closed or all-Normally Open channel configurations. Other Maxim Integrated analog switches should be evaluated based on on-resistance, leakage current, and supply voltage compatibility.
