MAX4604CSE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX4604CSE is a 4-circuit IC switch with SPST-NC (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Closed) configuration, rated for 4Ohm on-state resistance. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design support and procurement. The part operates across a wide supply voltage range (4.5V to 36V single supply, or ±4.5V to ±20V dual supply) and is packaged in a 16-SOIC surface-mount format.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX4604CSE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Switch topology: SPST-NC configuration with 4 independent circuits
  • Electrical performance: 4Ohm maximum on-state resistance, 200mOhm channel matching, 120ns/130ns switching times
  • Signal integrity: 225pC charge injection, 34pF channel capacitance, -60dB crosstalk at 1MHz
  • Supply voltage compatibility: Single supply 4.5V to 36V or dual supply ±4.5V to ±20V
  • Leakage specifications: 500pA maximum off-state leakage current
  • Package compatibility: 16-SOIC surface-mount form factor

The MAX4604CSE+ meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct functional equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX4604CSE+ is the direct substitute for the MAX4604CSE. Both parts are manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the MAX4604CSE is obsolete, while the MAX4604CSE+ is active and available for procurement.

The MAX4604CSE+ additionally provides ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original MAX4604CSE is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification. For new designs or ongoing production requiring this switch topology, the MAX4604CSE+ is the appropriate selection due to its active status and improved regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX4604CSE+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX4604CSE in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MAX4604CSE+ is electrically and mechanically identical to the MAX4604CSE across all specified parameters. No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between MAX4604CSE and MAX4604CSE+?

A: The parts are functionally equivalent. The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active) and RoHS compliance (non-compliant vs. ROHS3 compliant). Packaging differs only in format: MAX4604CSE is supplied as loose components, while MAX4604CSE+ is supplied in tubes.

Q: Are there any supply voltage or thermal operating range differences?

A: No. Both parts operate identically across the 4.5V to 36V single-supply range (or ±4.5V to ±20V dual-supply range) and maintain the same 0°C to 70°C operating temperature specification.

Q: Is the 16-SOIC package footprint identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 16-SOIC package with 0.154" (3.90mm) width. PCB layouts and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: Why should I transition from MAX4604CSE to MAX4604CSE+?

A: The MAX4604CSE is obsolete and subject to discontinuation. The MAX4604CSE+ ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Additionally, ROHS3 compliance may be required for certain applications or markets.
