MAX4612EPD

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4612EPD is a quad, low-voltage, single-pole/single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch. It integrates two normally open (NO) and two normally closed (NC) switches within a 14-pin Plastic DIP package. The device operates from a single +2V to +12V supply with rail-to-rail signal handling capabilities. Key electrical specifications include a maximum on-resistance of 100Ω at +5V and 46Ω at +12V, with channel matching guaranteed to 4Ω maximum. Off-leakage current is limited to 1nA at +25°C and 2nA at +85°C. The component provides 2kV ESD protection per Method 3015.7 and features TTL/CMOS logic compatibility.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and lead-free status. Confirm that the 14-pin Plastic DIP package matches the required footprint for the target PCB design. Ensure the selected variant meets the necessary operating temperature requirements for the intended application environment.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when a mixed configuration of normally open and normally closed analog switches is required in a single package. The MAX4612EPD is suitable for applications demanding low power consumption and high reliability under varying supply voltages. Consider the thermal derating characteristics if operating near the upper limits of the specified temperature range or supply voltage.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX4610/MAX4611/MAX4612 family of low-voltage, quad SPST CMOS analog switches. While the MAX4610 contains four NO switches and the MAX4611 contains four NC switches, the MAX4612 uniquely combines two NO and two NC switches. All variants share identical pinouts and core electrical performance characteristics.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The MAX4610 and MAX4611 are pin-compatible alternatives within the same family but differ in switch configuration. Verify that the alternative part number's switch state (all NO or all NC) aligns with the circuit design requirements before substitution.

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, and the MAX4612 contains two NO and two NC switches.

Does the MAX4612 support dual-supply operation?

No, the MAX4612 is designed to operate from a single positive supply voltage ranging from +2V to +12V.

How does the on-resistance vary with supply voltage?

The on-resistance decreases as the supply voltage increases. It is guaranteed to be a maximum of 100Ω at a +5V supply and 46Ω at a +12V supply.
