MAX4606ESE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX4606ESE is a 4-circuit IC switch with SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) NO/NC configuration, designed for signal routing and switching applications requiring low on-state resistance and fast switching times. This component operates across a wide supply voltage range (4.5V to 36V single supply, or ±4.5V to ±20V dual supply) and is housed in a 16-SOIC surface mount package.

The MAX4606ESE is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this interface component.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX4606ESE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Switch circuit configuration (SPST - NO/NC)
Number of circuits (4)
On-state resistance maximum (4Ω)
Channel-to-channel matching (200mΩ)
Supply voltage ranges (4.5V ~ 36V single; ±4.5V ~ ±20V dual)
Switch timing specifications (120ns, 130ns)
Charge injection (225pC)
Channel capacitance values (34pF, 34pF)
Leakage current maximum (500pA)
Crosstalk performance (-60dB @ 1MHz)
Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
Package type (16-SOIC)
Mounting type (Surface Mount)

Only parts meeting all these parameters qualify as direct substitutes. The MAX4606ESE+ meets these criteria and is identified as a direct equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX4606ESE+ is the direct functional equivalent of the MAX4606ESE. Both parts are manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The MAX4606ESE is obsolete, while the MAX4606ESE+ maintains active product status. The MAX4606ESE+ also carries ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original MAX4606ESE is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance with current environmental standards, the MAX4606ESE+ is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, either part may be used interchangeably based on availability and supply chain considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAX4606ESE+ be used as a direct replacement for the MAX4606ESE?
