Product details

Triple SPDT with force-sense routing

The Maxim Integrated MAX4556ESE+ is a triple SPDT analog switch in a 16-SOIC narrow-body package, designed for force-sense (Kelvin) measurement applications where low on-resistance and break-before-make switching prevent signal-path errors. Each of the three channels switches one common terminal between two independent signal paths (2:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer topology), with a maximum on-resistance of 6 Ohms across the rated supply range.

Break-before-make — why it matters for force-sense

Break-before-make switching ensures the switch opens the existing connection before closing the new one. In force-sense (Kelvin) circuits, this eliminates momentary shorting between the force and sense lines, which would otherwise inject a current transient into the measurement path and corrupt the reading. The MAX4556ESE+ is explicitly rated for force-sense applications, so the internal switch architecture is optimised for this use case.

Package and mounting

Housed in a 16-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm width) surface-mount package with a standard SOIC-16 footprint. The narrow-body variant is common in mixed-signal designs and reflows on standard lead-free profiles. Supplier device package is 16-SOIC.

Lifecycle and sourcing posture

Lifecycle status is Active with ROHS3 compliance. No last-time-buy or end-of-life notice is in effect, so this part remains available through normal distribution.

Frequently asked questions

What is the on-resistance of MAX4556ESE+?

This is the worst-case figure over temperature and voltage; typical on-resistance will be lower.

Can MAX4556ESE+ be used with dual supply?

Yes. The MAX4556ESE+ accepts a dual supply of ±4.5V to ±20V, which covers standard ±5V, ±12V, and ±15V rails used in ATE, instrumentation, and industrial control cards.

What is MAX4556ESE+'s listed features?

The listed features include Break-Before-Make switching, which prevents momentary shorting between signal paths during channel transitions. This is critical for force-sense and precision measurement applications.
