MAX4526CSA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX4526CSA is a dual SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) analog switch IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This 8-SOIC surface mount device provides two independent 2:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer circuits with 175Ohm on-state resistance, designed for signal routing and switching applications across supply voltages ranging from 4.5V to 36V (single supply) or ±4.5V to ±18V (dual supply).

The MAX4526CSA is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure component availability, and support ongoing production and maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this interface switch.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX4526CSA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Switch circuit topology: SPDT configuration with 2:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer functionality
  • Number of independent circuits: 2
  • On-state resistance specification: 175Ohm maximum
  • Channel-to-channel matching tolerance: 500mOhm
  • Supply voltage ranges: 4.5V to 36V (single) and ±4.5V to ±18V (dual)
  • Electrical characteristics: Charge injection (1pC), channel capacitance (13pF), leakage current (500pA max)
  • Operating temperature range: 0°C to 70°C
  • Package form factor: 8-SOIC surface mount

The MAX4526CSA+ meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct functional equivalent. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX4526CSA+ is the direct substitute for the MAX4526CSA. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters. The MAX4526CSA+ is preferred for new designs and ongoing production due to its active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification. The MAX4526CSA is obsolete and should be replaced with the MAX4526CSA+ in component procurement and design documentation.

Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification. The transition from MAX4526CSA to MAX4526CSA+ requires no circuit redesign, PCB layout modification, or firmware changes.
