MAX4052EEE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX4052EEE is a 2-circuit SP4T analog switch IC with 4:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer functionality, designed for signal routing and switching applications. Manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, this component features 100Ohm on-state resistance and operates across a wide supply voltage range (2V–16V single supply or ±2.7V–8V dual supply). The MAX4052EEE is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Direct alternatives and cross-compatible devices from other manufacturers are available to ensure design continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MAX4052EEE is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Switch circuit configuration: SP4T
• Multiplexer/demultiplexer circuit: 4:1
• Number of circuits: 2
• On-state resistance compatibility: Maximum 100Ohm (allows lower values)
• Supply voltage range: Minimum coverage of 2V–16V single supply or ±2.7V–8V dual supply
• Package type: 16-pin surface mount (16-SSOP or 16-TSSOP acceptable)
• Operating temperature range: Minimum -40°C to 85°C

Substitute Categories:

1. Direct Equivalent (Same Manufacturer, Different Packaging): MAX4052EEE+ — identical electrical specifications with active product status and improved RoHS compliance.

2. Cross-Manufacturer Substitutes (Texas Instruments): CD74HC4052PWRG4 and CD74HC4052PWT — functionally equivalent SP4T 4:1 multiplexer switches with different on-state resistance (130Ohm) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). These parts meet the core switching functionality but operate with higher on-state resistance and different supply voltage limits (2V–6V single supply or ±1V–5V dual supply).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Recommended): Select MAX4052EEE+ when available. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and package compatibility with the original MAX4052EEE while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. No circuit redesign is required.

For Cross-Manufacturer Substitution: CD74HC4052PWRG4 and CD74HC4052PWT are functionally equivalent alternatives from Texas Instruments. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications where the following parameter differences are acceptable:

• On-state resistance increases from 100Ohm to 130Ohm
• Supply voltage range reduces to 2V–6V single supply (from 2V–16V)
• Dual supply range reduces to ±1V–5V (from ±2.7V–8V)
• Channel capacitance increases from 2pF to 12pF
• Leakage current increases from 1nA to 200nA
• Operating temperature range extends to -55°C–125°C

CD74HC4052PWT is in Last Time Buy status, while CD74HC4052PWRG4 is obsolete. Both require circuit validation before implementation.

Compliance Considerations: The MAX4052EEE is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or applications requiring regulatory compliance, MAX4052EEE+ or Texas Instruments alternatives (both ROHS3 compliant) are preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX4052EEE+ be used as a direct drop-in replacement for MAX4052EEE? A: Yes. MAX4052EEE+ is electrically and mechanically identical to MAX4052EEE, differing only in packaging format (Tube vs. standard) and product status (Active vs. Obsolete). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What are the key differences between MAX4052EEE and CD74HC4052 variants? A: The primary differences are on-state resistance (100Ohm vs. 130Ohm), supply voltage range (2V–16V vs. 2V–6V single supply), channel capacitance (2pF vs. 12pF), and leakage current (1nA vs. 200nA). The CD74HC4052 variants offer extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. -40°C to 85°C).

Q: Are package differences between 16-SSOP and 16-TSSOP significant? A: Yes. 16-SSOP has a 0.154" width (3.90mm), while 16-TSSOP has a 0.173" width (4.40mm). PCB footprints differ and are not interchangeable. Verify PCB layout compatibility before substitution.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for high-voltage applications? A: MAX4052EEE+ is the only option supporting the full 2V–16V single supply range. CD74HC4052 variants are limited to 2V–6V and are unsuitable for applications requiring higher supply voltages.

Q: Are the Texas Instruments CD74HC4052 parts suitable for low-leakage applications? A: No. CD74HC4052 variants have maximum leakage current of 200nA compared to 1nA for MAX4052EEE. Applications requiring minimal leakage current should use MAX4052EEE or MAX4052EEE+.

Q: What is the impact of increased on-state resistance in CD74HC4052 substitutes? A: The 30Ohm increase in on-state resistance (from 100Ohm to 130Ohm) affects signal attenuation and power dissipation. Circuit analysis is required to confirm acceptable performance in the target application.

Q: Can CD74HC4052PWT be used for new production designs? A: CD74HC4052PWT is in Last Time Buy status, indicating limited future availability. For new designs, MAX4052EEE+ is recommended for long-term supply assurance.
