Key Features
- Quad SPST CMOS analog switches with only 2.5 Ω maximum on-resistance for minimal signal attenuation
- Wide supply range: dual ±4.5 V to ±20 V or single 4.5 V to 36 V supply for versatile power compatibility
- Low charge injection and high off-state isolation for precision analog signal switching
- 16-pin PDIP-300 MIL through-hole package enabling easy prototyping and breadboard development
- Handles analog signals from rail to rail making it ideal for audio and instrumentation multiplexing
Applications
The MAX4601CPE+ is used in audio signal routing, data acquisition multiplexers, and precision instrumentation where low on-resistance analog switching is required. Its wide supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 36 V single-supply or ±4.5 V to ±20 V dual-supply makes it compatible with both modern low-voltage systems and legacy ±15 V analog designs in industrial and test equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the on-resistance of the MAX4601CPE+, and how does it affect signal fidelity?
The MAX4601CPE+ features a maximum on-resistance of 2.5 Ω, significantly lower than many standard analog switches rated at 10 Ω or higher. This low on-resistance minimizes voltage drop across the switch, preserving signal amplitude accuracy in precision measurement and audio routing circuits.
Can the MAX4601CPE+ operate from a single supply rail in 5 V or 12 V digital systems?
Yes, the MAX4601CPE+ supports single supply operation from 4.5 V to 36 V, making it directly compatible with 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V single-rail systems. It also operates from dual supplies between ±4.5 V and ±20 V, bridging legacy ±15 V analog designs and modern digital environments.
How many independent switch channels does the MAX4601CPE+ provide, and what configuration are they?
The MAX4601CPE+ integrates 4 independent SPST (single-pole single-throw) analog switch channels within one 16-pin PDIP package. Each channel operates independently with TTL/CMOS-compatible control logic, allowing 4 separate signal paths to be opened or closed simultaneously or individually.
Is the MAX4601CPE+ suitable as a drop-in replacement for legacy DIP analog switch ICs in existing designs?
Yes, the MAX4601CPE+ in 16-pin PDIP-300 MIL format is pin-compatible with many classic quad SPST switch ICs. Its 2.5 Ω on-resistance, ±20 V dual-supply rating, and CMOS logic interface make it an upgrade path from older devices, offering lower resistance and wider supply compatibility in through-hole PCB designs.
