Maxim's MAX4655–MAX4658 are medium-voltage
CMOS analog switches with low on-resistance of 10Ω
max, specifically designed to handle large switch currents.
With a switch capability of up to 400mA peak current
and 300mA continuous current (MAX4655/MAX4656), and up to 300mA peak current and 150mA continuous current (MAX4657/MAX4658), these parts
can switch loads as low as 25Ω. They can replace reed
relays with a million times the speed and virtually unlimited
number of lifetime cycles. Normal power consumption
is only 3mW, whether the switch is on or off. These
parts are TTL/CMOS compatible and will switch any
voltage within its power-supply range.
These are SPST (single-pole/single-throw) switches.
The MAX4655/MAX4657 are normally closed (NC),
while the MAX4656/MAX4658 are normally open (NO).
The difference between the MAX4655/MAX4656 and
the MAX4657/MAX4658 is in the power dissipation of
their packages. Refer to the Absolute Maximum Ratings
and the Electrical Characteristics in the full data sheet.
The MAX4655–MAX4658 power-supply range is from
±4.5V to ±20V for dual-supply operation and +9V to
+40V for single-supply operation. These switches can
operate from any combination of supplies, within a 40V
V+ to V- range. They conduct equally well in either direction
and can handle rail-to-rail analog signals. The offleakage
current is only 1nA max at TA = +25°C. They are
available in 8-pin µMAX®, TDFN, and SO packages, with
exposed paddle options for high-power applications.
