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.","metaTitle":"MAX4556ESE+ Analog Switch, Triple SPDT, 6 Ohm, 16-SOIC","metaDescription":"MAX4556ESE+ triple SPDT analog switch, 6 Ohm max on-resistance, break-before-make, force-sense rated.
