MAX4610EPD+

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4610EPD+ is a quad, low-voltage, single-pole/single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates from a single +2V to +12V supply and features four normally open switches with rail-to-rail signal handling capabilities. The device guarantees an on-resistance of 100Ω max at a +5V supply and 46Ω max at a +12V supply. On-resistance is matched between channels to 4Ω max and remains flat over the specified signal range. Maximum off-leakage current is 1nA at +25°C and 2nA at +85°C. It provides 2kV ESD protection per Method 3015.7 and ensures TTL/CMOS logic compatibility. The component is housed in a 14-pin Plastic DIP package and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the package type and temperature grade. The 'E' designation indicates the extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), while 'P' denotes the 14-pin plastic DIP package. Ensure the '+ ' suffix is present for lead-free/RoHS compliance. Cross-reference the manufacturer's official documentation to validate pinout compatibility and absolute maximum ratings before integration into the design.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad SPST analog switch with low on-resistance and high channel matching is required. It is suitable for applications needing rail-to-rail signal swing and TTL/CMOS logic compatibility. Consider the MAX4611 or MAX4612 if normally closed contacts are needed instead of normally open. Verify that the single-supply voltage range (+2V to +12V) aligns with the system power architecture and that the 14-pin PDIP package fits the available PCB footprint.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX4610EPD+ belongs to the MAX4610/MAX4611/MAX4612 family of low-voltage, quad, SPST CMOS analog switches. This series is designed for single-supply operation and offers pin compatibility with industry-standard alternatives like the 74HC4066. The EPD variant specifically refers to the 14-pin plastic DIP package within the extended temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). The family shares core electrical characteristics but differs in switch contact configurations.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The MAX4610EPD+ is pin-compatible with the 74HC4066 and the MAX4066. When substituting, verify that the alternative device meets the required on-resistance flatness and leakage current specifications. Ensure the replacement supports the same single-supply voltage range and logic input thresholds for direct drop-in functionality without circuit modification.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers FAQ

What is the difference between the MAX4610, MAX4611, and MAX4612?

The MAX4610 contains four normally open (NO) switches. The MAX4611 contains four normally closed (NC) switches. The MAX4612 contains two NO switches and two NC switches.

Does the MAX4610EPD+ support dual supplies?

No, the MAX4610/MAX4611/MAX4612 are optimized for single-supply operation ranging from +2V to +12V. They do not support negative supply rails.

How does the on-resistance vary with supply voltage?

The on-resistance decreases as the supply voltage increases. It is guaranteed at 100Ω max at +5V and 46Ω max at +12V.
